I think the 200 W "TDP" and the pricing for the new Xbox is believable. Think how many extra controllers and logic is culled by this just having one memory controller (instead of separate for CPU/GPU like on PCs) and everything else is off the SoC (SATA for disk drive, PCIe for storage/wireless and basic IO) so no need for south bridge / logic / physical space. It's not comparable to PCs that ship with extra traces, logic at all. My graphics card has features and ports that I rarely use (lights, extra fan controller, USB-port? why) and on a product you make millions the $0,02 for extra output/connector makes a difference in both power and BOM cost when you pile them up.

Does anyone know where I could find a stock NVIDIA FE cooler for 2080Ti / 2080? The only card I could find locally that was reasonable priced is one of those blower card and the FE cooler looks like to be decent when it comes to cooling / size.

bus hustler posted:I did put a 3rd party cooler on the stock 2080ti and I love it, the one I had was a blower (!) that was incredibly loud and hot. I was able to get a really easy auto-overclock just by essentially fixing the thermals. If yours is a solid 3 fan version I'm sure you'll be fine.. I'd buy newer FE card if they were available in my country. The only reasonable sized cards like EVGA and Gigabyte Eagle are in short supply too.

I reached out to Fauxtool to buy GPU, just because FEs are not available around here. In my case "fair scalping" means breaking stupid region locks. I'd otherwise try to get one from Germany or France but that still requires playing with 3rd party mailbox services AND gaming the drop system. Buying stuff is too hard ityool 2021.

If it's for plex, just pick up Quadro P400, they're plenty and cheap on eBay. Low profile, NVENC enabled. For the latest and greatest, it seems like there's new Turing gen coming up: https://geizhals.eu/pny-t400-vcnt400-pb-a2522812.html Should be cheap enough (150 currency or so new) E: oh it was not for Plex.

AMD AMF or NVENC both work. Should be around hundred on eBay depending on the moon and tide and stuff.

Looking for cheap cards, you should have a look at Quadros too, I just installed K2200 (that I got for $free) on my system and it scored 1200 on Firestrike, which is as fast as GT1030 would be.

I wouldn't mind having one or two for my Plex box instead of hunting down cheap used cards. I wonder if in virtual machine the VBIOS (or whatever was missing) could be injected that stops it from working in a non-Intel PC?

There are only two vendors who make sufficient small enough card for my application so I'm bit worried that this trend where GPUs consume more power and are even bigger means that there won't by any cards at all next gen that fit in my cases (nothing special, a Fractal R6 with storage layout, just with all the other PCI slots filled in with stuff and NCase v5) and I should just buy something already. It just happens that EVGA has no or low availability around here and FE cards are region locked out of my country so I might as well wait for the unicorn 4-series/7-series/ARC whatever that will fit in regular double wide full height full length PCI slot.

I just hope that the new 4000-series FEs are offered in my market (the Nordics) and retain their compact size. 3-series were not, and the only sane sized AIB ones were the EVGA XC3s that would fit in my obscure selection of a cases (Fractal Design R6, Ncase M1)

The solution for these power issues is already solved and engineered, it's twin 8 pin EPS plugs. Basically, cheaper RTX6000 with half the RAM, not this gamer cargo cult oversized RGB junk.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:The A4000 doesn't quite match the 3070 performance, though it can get kind of close if you overclock it (source: steve walton's review). It seems there's some decent overclocking headroom there, even with the locked voltages. I don't mind the loudness. My current card is already loud so I already game with headphones or in another room so it's fine. I plan to do some airflow mods to exhaust the air bit better.

I paid around $550 for mine some moons ago so I could fix fans on my 2080Super, but I ended up selling the fixed 2080 and kept the not-Quadro. The only issue so far is that the RTX Quadro Experience (or whatever) doesn't list Games, just productivity apps so I can't "optimize" the eye candy easy.

Uncharted was fine at first, but latest NVIDIA drivers have broken it several times on my system. Had to roll back drivers and hack stuff (wade through the Steam forums to find information what lines to comment out / edit on the config files) Being adult and having less time to play means completing these games takes months and during that time drivers get auto updated several times.

It's not even that loud stock, the previous generation Turing card had bigger power budget and was louder. Loudest of the bunch is still surprisingly the A2000 with it's smaller size blower.

Bought one of those silly lil ARC 310 cards from Sparkle and it's mostly fine but it has the worlds most annoying oscillating fan. Apparently this is a FW fault, so I was thinking if I could just unplug the fan until they fix that FW. I'm assuming that these Intel ARC cards thermally throttle normally and can handle running without fan for short periods? Apparently sensors don't work on Linux yet.

I suppose Intel isn't that great anymore when it comes to Linux, I can't get my UW DTD timings to work on it; using HDMI it insists on being 1080p120 screen, which is the max on the DMT timings table. Plugging adapters mDP -> DP -> active HDMI and it just works. Left a message on their bug tracker. So 2 days with arc, 2 firmware / driver bugs already. Ought to be smooth sailing from now on.
