I shot an email to the retailer I bought it from and they said they're willing to check it out, and if found defective, send it to Gigabyte for RMA (Which is not only a waste of time for me but also a garbage outcome instead of receiving a refund or a new card, because from my experience RMAs...
Recently bought an RX 6600 Eagle as per this forum's recommendations
Performs phenomenally for what I need it to, but it seems to have issues
Since day 2-3 of buying it, I noticed strange occasional white screen flicker fits in games, which I brushed off as just some small driver issue
Then...
In all laptops that I'm aware of, where Optimus (configuration of Intel iGPU + NVIDIA dGPU) is used, the dGPU is only a co-graphics-processor that is never directly hooked to the display. The role of being connected to eDP falls to the iGPU, while the dGPU can be used by the OS to render select...
If this is true, doesn't this effectively make buying any Ampere cards even with the dropping prices an absolute waste of money (unless you need a gaming-capable card right this moment)? I'd be willing to hold off on buying a 3070 if the so-called '4070' is going to surpass even enthusiast-level...
NVIDIA is bound to start producing a new generation of their GT e-waste cards when the GT 1010 and GT 1030 are phased out along with Pascal, just so they can reap more cash from OEMs.
Doesn't seem like there's much initiative to bring this ~100$ graphics card market up, though. APUs will likely...
Agreed. I remember checking out some benchmarks, in most games something like an i5-12400F is needed for a 3070/3070 Ti to reach its full potential. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Retail prices for most graphics cards where I live have dropped by 30-40% since January. Definitely an improvement, though the prices are far from acceptable even now.
I'm not sure on how manufacturer warranty works here, usually you're directed towards the retailer.
In my case, I bought it just as demand was up and major shortages happened. Someone I know who works in retail found me the card for around MSRP in some warehouse and I ended up paying only around...
They're overpriced, you can expect to pay at least 480€ for one, while most are at the 500-550€ price mark.
Agreed. I also have no issues with just booting up something ancient like Half-Life 2, since that runs well on any hardware at this point.
I've spent some time looking at RX 6600 deals and they're certainly not favorable. Minimum 460€ if buying locally, same on Amazon (except you get month-long shipping times in addition!), and the used market currently consists of delusional miners who think their 6600s are worth around 440€.
As...
Just in case you're wondering, I ended up in this situation because I lost my GTX 1660 Super, not because I built the base system first. Good advice regardless.
I'm in a tough spot as I have a full system (i5 12400F and 16 GBs of DDR4 3000, 144 Hz monitor) with a GT 710...
The pathetic card barely suffices for anything but old pre-2010 games or Minecraft with extensive performance-enhancing mods to reach my 120-144 FPS target with acceptable looks. The...
That's assuming that the stolen data is legitimate. The only details we've seen are threats to release drivers and firmware, evidence being likely fake leaked "code files" which tell us nothing we don't already know, written in a markup language that I can't even identify. This is all by people...
