I’ll have the article on how to properly test the video card on oztalkshw.fun tomorrow even. Please check out Skillshare! Link the description. Enjoy the video 😊
I'd question the long-term legality of these cards in terms of IP (intellectual property); I doubt AISURIX are authorized partners of Nvidia and AMD; you never know if Nvidia or AMD may sue them and/or put a stop to this. The fact that AISURIX has a physical location in a western market (Australia according to their website), makes it more easier/likely Nvidia and AMD to clamp down on them in a legal context versus other companies that are strictly located in China. It's highly likely the GPUs were salvaged off of old/malfunctioning/dead cards and re-manufactured with a new PCB, fans, etc. A similar practice to this which is relatively common in Shenzhen would be those companies who've salvaged old enterprise/server/workstation chipsets and soldered those on to new PCBs and re-marketed them as new Intel X79, X99 motherboards. I'd suggest you contact Nvidia and AMD just to confirm on how legit this is.
@@OzTalksHW hey i just wanted to know if i should build your 400€ 2023 march PC or are there any specific PCs that are good for playing minecraft WITH mods? Thanks if you respond me
it's a similar concept behind using older x79 or x99 xeons on fresh new Chinese made x79 or x99 motherboards. I have a e5-2650 v2 used xeon on a Kllisre x79 v2.82 mobo for a Linux Mint rig as my daily driver, not for gaming. I built this back in Oct of 2021. Runs great, and it's speedy enough for my needs. I don't have issue of companies filling that gap in the GPU market that AMD and Nvidia are disregarding. I'm looking in the near future to change up my evga gtx 960 4gb card to something with 8GB down the road. I might be looking at this concept GPUs of used GPU chip on new PCB.
Rx 6500 XT 4gb 80 USD, just find a seller who regret buying it already. But missing codec was no problem and it was proven to be a good value card. X 264 software encoding with cpu power it had no problem in my usages
While other channels complain about how miserable things are, you are finding positive solutions to our hobby. Thank you! Things are not good but it really boils down to what you do with your time.
I included this RX 580 to my first build (in which I mixed parts from your 2 previous 500 and 400$ builds). I put everything together last week. I am VERY HAPPY with it. Been playing GTA V, Cyberpunk, RDR2, etc. on it at very decent settings and very decent FPS. Thanks OZ for your amazing guidance and good vibes !!!!!!
The RX580 and it's variants are kind of legendary. I swear this card has had the longest relevant lifespan of any GPU ever. It simply will not die. I've contemplated buying one and building a living room Steam console PC using HoloISO (the OS the Steam Deck uses but customized to run on a desktop, it's not compatible with Nvidia GPU's).
I totally agree, this card is an amazing bargain at the moment. Price to performance is unparalleled. Incidentally, I picked up a used RX 480 8 GB for $50 CAD (about $37 USD), perfect condition, not a miner card, and it works like a charm. It's not in my primary system, but for secondary lighter duty gaming system when friends over, and for media playback, it's superb! Great video.
I picked up a MSI-3060-GAMING-X-12G for $380. 12 GB Vram and 40% faster than the $170 1660 super you show. I am starting to like MSI, but that limits possibilities. Oh, and I like the calm demeanor you have. You are much more pleasant to watch than a lot of the computer guys on youtube. Subscribed.
It's technically an RX 570 that was originally sold as an RX 580 in China as a GPU. Putting these old chips on new PCBs isn't a bad idea as AMD and Nvidia aren't really paying attention to the budget market anymore.
i had bought a 5500xt from these guys that started going bad within a week. I got a refund and sent the unit back and they are now forcing me to remove the bad review that I posted and changing it into a 5 star review. This is probably what they do to everyone who ever gave them a bad rating. Needless to say, that 2 star review stays on
Well, your "bad" review is a lie to be honest. You can't get better than a service that immediately makes right the times when a product unfortunately was defective. Your experience is a 5 star one. It's a 5 star one that involved you getting an unfortunate defective product (as will happen with every company in existence occasionally), but still unquestionably a 5 star one.
@@wyterabitt2149 the issue with me is the fact that they are claiming the product is brand new AND that the reviews posted online are not accurate. As consumers how will we know what's happening if all possible bad reviews are being changed? they even offered to pay me to change it.
Talk about age all you want my old ass 980 is still crushing it 🤷🏽♂️! No plans to replace it until I upgrade from my I5 8500. Great video as always Oz!
1660 super/ti is also slept on considering its a newer and more power efficient alternative to 580/5500xt and you can get a reputable AIB version on the used market, 8GB polaris can be price gouged sometimes so the 1660super or 1660ti with 6gb vram and better perf is worth a look
I'm using an RX580 while typing this comment right now. IMHO, it's a great budget card with decent performance. It won't run rings around the new stuff, but the games I use are DirectX 9c. So, this card does more than what I ever really wanted need.
I have a 1440p panel on my main rig, but in my living room, I have a 1080p projector. I bought a refurbished RX 580 from Aliexpress for $80, paired with some old parts, and it's pretty awesome. Even the most recent titles, such as Hogwarts Legacy, run just fine on this card, although with reduced settings and some upscaling. However, older AAA games can run on high or even ultra settings without any issues at 1080p!
I've been running MingZhou GTX1660 Super 6gb for about 6 months in my rig. (it was around 110$ usd on aliexpress, and used cards were about 200$ in my country) It is an Aliexpress card (probbably a used mining gpu chip, but on a brand new PCB board). It works great for now, performance is there, and it is cool, never gets over 70c under load. I only changed the chinese thermal paste for a cooler master one (not super high end) and that's it. I had a used Asus 1070ti, and an XFX RX580, they all died after 3 moths of use.( demolished with mining by previous owners)
@@Eleganttf2 from my previous experience with chinese electronics, they just use poor quality thermal compound, they probbably get it in bulk very cheap...i changed it just to be safe...i used cooler master esentials 3-4$
I used to have one of these RX580s. It worked fine for two months, then it refused to give any image to the monitor. I returned it back to the store and bought an RX580 from MSI. Yeah it's a bit more expensive, but feels more secure.
I think this rebuilding of a GPU from an older and functional die with new vram, pcb etc is a great thing and if it can offer a vg GPU at a great price ….. it’s a win for gamers so I’m all in!🥰🥳🤩💪
I hate to say it but I’ve had horrible luck with MSI . I just got a X570 board back and it’s finally working correctly. The turnaround was good , but this is my 3rd MSI board that has had to be sent back over the years . I’ve had a doa card as well . I’m going to give this brand a try .
Got one of these in november from aliexpress for like 85US$, it was a real fever here in Brazil, a lot of channels did videos on these RX 580 2048sp cards, until now it has worked like a charm, never had any problem with it, and I hope it stays like that. They're literally just an RX 570, but coming from a gt1030, they're perfect for me (even more that I'm still using a Haswell i5 lol), never thought I could have this performance for the price I paid, I play all games on high using 900p because of my monitor, and I even play some games in 1440p/4K when I hook it up to the TV (4K is only playable with FSR), all modern games run perfect for me, from RE4R to Cyberpunk, the only one that didn't run was Forspoken (but that game is trash anyway).
I still am running a 1650. The card survived a house fire, took alot of cleaning. I built a new computer with a B550 Vision mother board, 64 gigs of creator menmory, new case power supply, SSD etc. I tried a 380 Intel card, but would not enable HDR on my TV, used as a monitor. I have been waiting to get a newer card, but these prices are insane. I'm not a gamer, but love to do video encoding, and my music files, some of which are DSD albums I bought years ago. I'm old 62, always built my own computers. I do have a mac mini M1 as my stable every day computer for tasks such as online bill pay etc. It is sad that the everyday people can't get into this hobby because of greedy PC parts vendors.
I once fished a computer out of a dumpster that smelled like fire, it was 2001-ish. The PSU has caught fire and killed off most of the components, but the mainboard, CPU (fresh, Athlon 750) mainboard (MSI, fairly nice) and RAM were alright. HDD, ODD and videocard were toast. Didn't care for the videocard, it was just a Rage, which is a perfect name, this is the emotion you experience when dealing with its driver quality. Anyway absolutely loved the thing after i rebuilt it, carried me a while. Kept the case as well, a Codegen bigtower i think, just washed it a bit. I had an FSP PSU in it, a Maxtor DM80 80GB, a random ODD or two, and an ELSA TNT2 at first and then an ELSA Geforce2mx. Driving a nice 20" Mitsubishi CRT. I've done video capture and editing on that PC, edited in Ulead Pro, with 3ivx intermediate, so smooth. With a random bt848 for capture. Printed the results to VHS.
The GPU chip could be new from partners that have never made cards from them and had left over stock which is now going down the line to lower end card makers... It's cheaper to find unused GPU's that are left over in warehouses then de-solder and sell as good as new which requires extensive tests and so on...
There are lots of these rx 580s popping up on my local amazon as well. But with different brands and some are completely unbranded. The GPU-z screenshot they show has the same specs as an RX 570. Personally for 100-150$, I prefer used 1660 supers/Tis from known brands. But if you strictly want a "new" card. Then this maybe the product for you.
It's not "new" in a sense. The pcb may be new. But the GPU itself is not. And sometimes they have dodgy bios. If you have a healthy used market then it is no issue. But for many places where the used market is like asking a nuclear bombed hell hole this might do it. Dunno how long they will last thought especially with poor aftersale services, 1 year? 2 year? 3 years?
I’m using the RX5500 XT right now lol. It’s pretty amazing! Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p on medium, sitting very comfortably at 60fps! At High it sits at around 30, but if you’re comfy with lower resolution you can consistently get 60fps at higher settings. I don’t know a lot about computers but it feels really good!
No thanks. Just stick to eBay. These are made out of used cards anyway. Get an AMD Vega 56 Graphics Card for $100, which beats all the cards shown in the video while being significantly cheaper or an RX 5700 XT for $150, which beats the RTX 3060 in some games
I found an rx 6600xt for $160. Should I get it? I'm planning on saving up to upgrade my mbo, cpu, and ram, as right now, I run an i7 4770, 32gb ddr3 1600mhz ram, and a gtx 1660 6gb. Should I wait until after I upgrade my other components, or get it now?
Honestly I'm glad to see that "e-waste" Is being put to good use! These parts are popping up in Newegg as well, and another YTer has been checking out motherboards with repurposed laptop & engineering samples of CPUs soldered to them...this is an opportunity for many HK & mainland small businesses to make money and for us to save some cash! And Oz, it's time to talk to the people more about SteamOS, how it's going to save a PC gamer money, and freeing one's self from the shackles of Microsoft's All-Seeing Sauron Eye. (Heck it doesn't have to be SteamOS, a current Debian build would work too.)
Yea, it's not like Steam is a damaging monopoly and is only doing these things for the single purpose of making this monopoly even more extreme and unbreakable.
I bought one Aisurix RX 580 2048sp for $87 USD equivalent here in Philippines. Best deal price to performance. 1080p gaming Med-High setting. This is perfectly fine for me because I only play: Nier Automata - lock at 60fps 1080p high Nier Replicant - lock at 60fps 1080p high Dota 2 - average 180fps 1080p best looking I don't play AAA games. Nothing beats the Nier Automata narratives and soundtrack. It's a masterpiece!
You cannot use a b550 Mainboard 😮 I thought you need the "right" CPU (minimum Ryzen 5 5600) to fully use the current and newest GPUs. Edit: I planned on saving money for the Ryzen 7 5800x3d and buy a RX 6800xt later on...
RX580 was and still is good GPU it now starting to show it age with new AAA games at 1080 you look at low setting I used a RX580 8GB sapphire with AMD 3600 and run Red Dead redemption 2 1080 high setting 45+ Fps but what will kill off the lot of GPU in future is that new game will no longer support them and game are starting to need a lot more Vram and if for future I think 12GB of Vram is what be look for and try to get a GPU with 16GB of varm
People forget about workstation GPUs, AMD Pro WX series and Nvidia Quadro series using gputechbench is pretty good way to find workstation GPUS that can still kickass today
bruh, i got regular used 580 8gb for just 80$ used mining and 90$ used gaming (2020 price in my country) and if you dont want to be a red team, you can buy gtx 1070 for just 110-130$ (i sold mine for 80$ because i need extra 80$ to buy new cpu asap). i got 580 and its on par with my old gtx 1070, sure buying used cards are risky but it is the fun part about buying used stuff.
6600 gets you 192% of the performance for ...192% of the price. I don't know how long it will take you to save $119 but if it takes twice as long to get you to $209 it'll be worth the wait.
no, the 580 is still absolutely fine for gaming in 2023, but do not even bother to look after the 4GB model, that is a waste of money. especially bc the 8GB one is only 120 bucks.
Then you don’t know what ur doing lol literally all u have to do is download steam that’s it, a ps5 lacks in hardware lol what were ur specs for 1500??
@@jonathansoko1085 you do?💀 yet u can’t even download a single game go educate urself bud consoles are literally way worse than a 1500 pc u probably got scammed anywya
These Chinese brands and used authentic brands which one would you recommend? I personally think used cards are better but I dont know much about graphics cards so I would love to know your suggestions..
i bought a rx580 off newegg same cooler design but the fans didnt do the job so i took the stock cooler off and ziptied 2 120mm fans to it and fixed went from high 80c to like mid 60s. Cant see it so who cares.
Oz, just wondering if you have a policy of making it clear whether a video is sponsored or not? I personally don't critique the video differently either way, but would be nice for the creator to be up front about it
The process of salvaging a large chip like this from an old PCB is hardly ideal, there's a substantial likelihood to pringle it even in the best of cases, and it might not show up right away, but after months. Guys who repair laptops and are forced to buy CPUs/SoCs from China know what i'm talking about, sketchy stuff. I think component level refurb on existing PCB is actually better, just so you don't have to disturb the big guy. I do not have any supplier i could point to that does that at quality, so well if all your choices you have are bad, these remanufactured cards are not outright the worst. If possible i'd still prefer a normal used card and just clean it up myself, but i know it's not always an option and you might be unable to carry the risk involved, sooo... yeah.
I think the catch was something about the bandwidth or memory speeds being halfed from a standard 580 cause it was a mobile chip or something. Seen toasty bros use one of these.
Hey man I would love to see you build a home gaming server! I have been running them on the same computer for a couple years and would like some guidance for home gaming server hardware. I know they are nothing special but it would still be cool.
i saw some rx580s for around $90 on either amazon or newegg a few days ago. that blew my mind, sure its not an amazing card by todays standards but its still a damn good card for 1080p. Edit : just double checked and found an rx580 for $69 (nice) on sale. dont know if i trust that particular brand but damn.
Still not a fan of cards like these, honestly it's just better to go for a used more recent gen card that you can get for a good deal because usually those might still have at least have 1 year left on the RMA warranty, the whole method of refurbishing a 6 year old card and calling it "new" is dodgy at best and not being truthful, I rather take risks with a used mined card that's last gen and still has warranty.
I've ordered these cards before and i've had two fail, and one I was sent was dirty with some sort of oil around the power plug for the fans. I do not believe they are new PCB's just cleaned and made to look new.
are these the '2048" cards? theyre great for temporary gpu in need, had one for my brother since he aint much into mainstream games that were demadning.
I actually purchase this not to long ago, and it performs very well. I took a chance but did research and I was surprised on how well it runs. Seeing you upload a video about the cards, I was relief and satisfied because it made me feel I made the right choice lol.

I ave that but after 9days the gpu died but at the very least they are willing to change the gpu but you will shoulder the shipping fee back to them
A whole company that actually capitalized on the terrible state of the gpu market in a positive way.
It's really cool to see. Not perfect, but I hope they continue for another few generations. It's really cool

RX 580s for 100$ have been really common lately
Back before Covid, I could find 2nd hand 580s for 90 to 120 bucks. That was back in 2018.
580 doesn't support DirectX 12.1 Feature Levels so you won't be able to play the new games without patches like DXVK.
was it the 2048SP ?
I bought 4 asrock rx 580s for $82 each recently.
@@R3TR0J4N It's an RX 570 that they call an RX 580. They were built for mining, but they missed the mining boom
I still am running a 1650. The card survived a house fire, took alot of cleaning. I built a new computer with a B550 Vision mother board, 64 gigs of creator menmory, new case power supply, SSD etc. I tried a 380 Intel card, but would not enable HDR on my TV, used as a monitor. I have been waiting to get a newer card, but these prices are insane. I'm not a gamer, but love to do video encoding, and my music files, some of which are DSD albums I bought years ago. I'm old 62, always built my own computers. I do have a mac mini M1 as my stable every day computer for tasks such as online bill pay etc. It is sad that the everyday people can't get into this hobby because of greedy PC parts vendors.
I once fished a computer out of a dumpster that smelled like fire, it was 2001-ish. The PSU has caught fire and killed off most of the components, but the mainboard, CPU (fresh, Athlon 750) mainboard (MSI, fairly nice) and RAM were alright. HDD, ODD and videocard were toast. Didn't care for the videocard, it was just a Rage, which is a perfect name, this is the emotion you experience when dealing with its driver quality. Anyway absolutely loved the thing after i rebuilt it, carried me a while. Kept the case as well, a Codegen bigtower i think, just washed it a bit. I had an FSP PSU in it, a Maxtor DM80 80GB, a random ODD or two, and an ELSA TNT2 at first and then an ELSA Geforce2mx. Driving a nice 20" Mitsubishi CRT.
I've done video capture and editing on that PC, edited in Ulead Pro, with 3ivx intermediate, so smooth. With a random bt848 for capture. Printed the results to VHS.
I have been a subscriber a while. I love your content. Keep up the great work.
He is great
Sucks just that Polaris is simply old, hard to say how long it's supported anymore.
Dude are you fine you seems like you lose a little bit weight ?
Glad they're doing this. I might combine one of their cards with an am4 mb cpu combo and get a nice refresh to my aging pc.
The GPU chip could be new from partners that have never made cards from them and had left over stock which is now going down the line to lower end card makers... It's cheaper to find unused GPU's that are left over in warehouses then de-solder and sell as good as new which requires extensive tests and so on...
There are lots of these rx 580s popping up on my local amazon as well. But with different brands and some are completely unbranded. The GPU-z screenshot they show has the same specs as an RX 570. Personally for 100-150$, I prefer used 1660 supers/Tis from known brands. But if you strictly want a "new" card. Then this maybe the product for you.
It's not "new" in a sense.
The pcb may be new. But the GPU itself is not. And sometimes they have dodgy bios.
If you have a healthy used market then it is no issue.
But for many places where the used market is like asking a nuclear bombed hell hole this might do it.
Dunno how long they will last thought especially with poor aftersale services, 1 year? 2 year? 3 years?
if you're dropping 150 just get a 1080 why on earth would you get a 1660 super
5 seconds in and I'm aroused. Damn.
I love it and I hope they start doing it to other cards like the rtx 2060
I’m using the RX5500 XT right now lol. It’s pretty amazing! Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p on medium, sitting very comfortably at 60fps! At High it sits at around 30, but if you’re comfy with lower resolution you can consistently get 60fps at higher settings.
I don’t know a lot about computers but it feels really good!
fr tho "Are they ACTUALLY new..?" timestamp is really comforting, i already trust them since i bought one back 2019 it works.
No thanks. Just stick to eBay. These are made out of used cards anyway. Get an AMD Vega 56 Graphics Card for $100, which beats all the cards shown in the video while being significantly cheaper or an RX 5700 XT for $150, which beats the RTX 3060 in some games
I found an rx 6600xt for $160.
Should I get it? I'm planning on saving up to upgrade my mbo, cpu, and ram, as right now, I run an i7 4770, 32gb ddr3 1600mhz ram, and a gtx 1660 6gb.
Should I wait until after I upgrade my other components, or get it now?
You are so humble man, I cant believe you are working a second job on top of this!
Here in the Philippines, that Aisurix RX580 you can have it on sale for only $60 and around $77 on SRP. An absolute steal!
Honestly I'm glad to see that "e-waste" Is being put to good use! These parts are popping up in Newegg as well, and another YTer has been checking out motherboards with repurposed laptop & engineering samples of CPUs soldered to them...this is an opportunity for many HK & mainland small businesses to make money and for us to save some cash!
And Oz, it's time to talk to the people more about SteamOS, how it's going to save a PC gamer money, and freeing one's self from the shackles of Microsoft's All-Seeing Sauron Eye. (Heck it doesn't have to be SteamOS, a current Debian build would work too.)
Yea, it's not like Steam is a damaging monopoly and is only doing these things for the single purpose of making this monopoly even more extreme and unbreakable.
I bought one Aisurix RX 580 2048sp for $87 USD equivalent here in Philippines. Best deal price to performance. 1080p gaming Med-High setting. This is perfectly fine for me because I only play:
Nier Automata - lock at 60fps 1080p high
Nier Replicant - lock at 60fps 1080p high
Dota 2 - average 180fps 1080p best looking
I don't play AAA games.
Nothing beats the Nier Automata narratives and soundtrack.
It's a masterpiece!
The RX580 is back down to its pre-2021 boom pricing.
Used they are around $60 nowadays, and yeah... They're still a bang for your buck!
You cannot use a b550 Mainboard 😮 I thought you need the "right" CPU (minimum Ryzen 5 5600) to fully use the current and newest GPUs.
Edit: I planned on saving money for the Ryzen 7 5800x3d and buy a RX 6800xt later on...
That really is a good deal, if you live in the US that is. Maybe also for people paying shipping+import but thats tricky.
You can still buy the VSA-100 chip NEW!
That chip is the processor for the VooDoo 4500 (year 2000),
You can still buy it new and make new cards!
RX580 was and still is good GPU it now starting to show it age with new AAA games at 1080 you look at low setting
I used a RX580 8GB sapphire with AMD 3600 and run Red Dead redemption 2 1080 high setting 45+ Fps but what will kill off the lot of GPU in future is that new game will no longer support them and game are starting to need a lot more Vram and if for future I think 12GB of Vram is what be look for and try to get a GPU with 16GB of varm
People forget about workstation GPUs,
AMD Pro WX series
and Nvidia Quadro series
using gputechbench is pretty good way to find workstation GPUS that can still kickass today
bruh, i got regular used 580 8gb for just 80$ used mining and 90$ used gaming (2020 price in my country) and if you dont want to be a red team, you can buy gtx 1070 for just 110-130$ (i sold mine for 80$ because i need extra 80$ to buy new cpu asap).
i got 580 and its on par with my old gtx 1070, sure buying used cards are risky but it is the fun part about buying used stuff.
6600 gets you 192% of the performance for ...192% of the price. I don't know how long it will take you to save $119 but if it takes twice as long to get you to $209 it'll be worth the wait.
hey right now on newegg the MLLSE "same card from what i understand" rx580 8gb are on sale for $69.99 after tax and expedited shipping i paid $88 !
Yo Oz, maybe you can make a video about the RX 590 GME as well, I bought it the XFX RX590 GME. around USD 110.
no, the 580 is still absolutely fine for gaming in 2023, but do not even bother to look after the 4GB model, that is a waste of money. especially bc the 8GB one is only 120 bucks.
Hopefully they haven't used old crypto mining GPU chips, as those things are worked past their effective life expectancy.
Bought the 1650 in September 2020 before shit hit the fan for 115$ at microcenter. It's going to like almost 200$ now 3 yrs later 😮
Buying a ps5 was a great decision. I spent 1500$ on a pc and spent 90% of my time trying to get games to work right LOL
Then you don’t know what ur doing lol literally all u have to do is download steam that’s it, a ps5 lacks in hardware lol what were ur specs for 1500??
@@mrcooshie8436 Unfortunately for you, i do know what im doing. Grow up a bit.
@@jonathansoko1085 you do?💀 yet u can’t even download a single game go educate urself bud consoles are literally way worse than a 1500 pc u probably got scammed anywya
These Chinese brands and used authentic brands which one would you recommend?
I personally think used cards are better but I dont know much about graphics cards so I would love to know your suggestions..
I agree that an RX 580 is still a great value, even though it SHOULDN'T be. Market stagnation sucks.
You should check out Rick Rubin's The Creative Act, has some really good gems to help you with your creative mindset!
well the rx 580 is still the king of budget GPUs. just recently I bought a rx 580 for just $80
i bought a rx580 off newegg same cooler design but the fans didnt do the job so i took the stock cooler off and ziptied 2 120mm fans to it and fixed went from high 80c to like mid 60s. Cant see it so who cares.
I was lucky to find an rtx 2060 6gb from evga only 137€ shiped to my door i couldnt resist.
Oz, just wondering if you have a policy of making it clear whether a video is sponsored or not? I personally don't critique the video differently either way, but would be nice for the creator to be up front about it
The process of salvaging a large chip like this from an old PCB is hardly ideal, there's a substantial likelihood to pringle it even in the best of cases, and it might not show up right away, but after months. Guys who repair laptops and are forced to buy CPUs/SoCs from China know what i'm talking about, sketchy stuff. I think component level refurb on existing PCB is actually better, just so you don't have to disturb the big guy. I do not have any supplier i could point to that does that at quality, so well if all your choices you have are bad, these remanufactured cards are not outright the worst. If possible i'd still prefer a normal used card and just clean it up myself, but i know it's not always an option and you might be unable to carry the risk involved, sooo... yeah.
EVGA just did a B stock run. 3060 12gb with 1 year warranty for 220. Keep an eye out
I think the catch was something about the bandwidth or memory speeds being halfed from a standard 580 cause it was a mobile chip or something. Seen toasty bros use one of these.
Well imma need that cause my laptops 2060 doesn't have enough vram for modded Skyrim
Hey man I would love to see you build a home gaming server! I have been running them on the same computer for a couple years and would like some guidance for home gaming server hardware. I know they are nothing special but it would still be cool.
I want to know if you would need the same graphics driver as normal Rx 580 with the aisurix card
i saw some rx580s for around $90 on either amazon or newegg a few days ago. that blew my mind, sure its not an amazing card by todays standards but its still a damn good card for 1080p.
Edit : just double checked and found an rx580 for $69 (nice) on sale. dont know if i trust that particular brand but damn.
Woah, that's a killer price if it's "new"
Still not a fan of cards like these, honestly it's just better to go for a used more recent gen card that you can get for a good deal because usually those might still have at least have 1 year left on the RMA warranty, the whole method of refurbishing a 6 year old card and calling it "new" is dodgy at best and not being truthful, I rather take risks with a used mined card that's last gen and still has warranty.
well I can sell one of the best 5700xt models for $150, almost new conditions. plus shipping
A used rx 5700 for $150 would wreck this but buying "new" for piece of mind ok sure.
Bought this same gpu w a Ryzen 5 5600g but can’t run Warzone. Is the gpu too old?
I've ordered these cards before and i've had two fail, and one I was sent was dirty with some sort of oil around the power plug for the fans. I do not believe they are new PCB's just cleaned and made to look new.
I don’t know how but I was unsubscribed from your channel. I wondered why I didn’t see any of your videos
Does this mean you are going to be back here on UA-cam consistently? Missed you for a while and loved to see when you would come back here and there.
loving this fresh content we are getting! definitely my fav channel
Im still stuck with a 1660 Super from when i built my system back in Feb 2020.
If you get modified drivers, you can play modern games like Robocop or starfield
The thing about that is that the dyes are from minned graphic cards switched over to a new pcb's i wouldnt trust that it would last very long!
Can you make a video about a new budget vs a used budget around 450$ and see the difference between them,Thanks
are these the '2048" cards? theyre great for temporary gpu in need, had one for my brother since he aint much into mainstream games that were demadning.
I actually purchase this not to long ago, and it performs very well. I took a chance but did research and I was surprised on how well it runs. Seeing you upload a video about the cards, I was relief and satisfied because it made me feel I made the right choice lol.
Everything are new except for the GPU die itself and the memory chips
I bought my friend a 1660s for his birthday a few weeks ago. these old cards are still great
Seeing this hurts me, I paid $190 for a used GTX 1080 the other day and it died in 14 hours 😢
I've seen an XFX RX 580 8gb in Best Buy recently for about $150
