    this card is more elusive on the used market than my dad

      @doesitgame  9 місяців тому +1

      That may have at least a *little* something to do with some jackwagon uploading a video about it two weeks ago.
      Also highly region dependent. There are always a few dozen listed on US eBay, though prices will range from $25ish to a buy-it-now price of $140, the latter of which I have to assume is a joke.

    I have this GPU in my Media PC, which has an i7-4770 and 16GBs of DDR3 memory. I got it for $16 on ebay in June of 2023. It was quite the buy. Works well for what I do with the PC, which is primarily media consumption and emulation. It won't wow ya with gaming performance in many modern titles, but it gets the job done.

    • @doesitgame
      @doesitgame  9 місяців тому +1

      Very true! Although $20/pr for fans (I priced these out) vs $30 for the whole card makes it a difficult proposition...and the 750Ti would still be old at the end of the day. If you have one already, definitely worth a look; if you're looking to buy a card for a dumpster Dell conversion, though, probably not.
      That said, I do have a plan for this one!

      I would guess it would easily do 150+ but I haven’t really benchmarked Valorant in forever.
      When I tested the GTS 450, which is objectively less powerful card, it pushed like 180fps on average.

      But "Ti" as shorthand for "titanium" has been pronounced as a monosyllabic word, "tie", for sixty years. At least in the American English lexicon. Before the 560Ti launched I'd never even heard someone say Ti as "tee eye".
      The 3090Ti unveiling also explicitly made it "3090 'tie'".
      But if you want to call it a "tee eye", I'm not gonna stop you. In response, though, all Super variants reviewed henceforth will be pronounced as "ess ewe pee ee arr" variants on the channel, though 🤪

    if not for the silly price w4300 radeon pro would be a better match for this one
    for some reason those are either sold on scalper prices or really cheap and disapear
    but you can find oem 4gb rx550 for les and that is basically what this is
    in my area wx4100 is also cheaper at twice the performance

    There is also the K2200 that you could compare with this gpu (basically the quadro version of the 750ti) that has 4 gigabytes of vram, no power connector, support almost full dx12 and is dirt cheap but no LP bracket unfortunately

      A WX3200 is a pretty big step up from the iGPU on the 5600G. If you can get one inexpensive enough, go for it!

    Not sure if this is a question you can answer but Would this card be better than Intel® UHD Graphics 730? I don’t really need to game. I’m more interested in transcoding for Plex since I have a i3-12100 in my NAS.

    • @doesitgame
      @doesitgame  8 місяців тому

      It’s got the AMD VCE hardware transcoding solution, so it should perform well for Plex transcoding. Although I can’t say if it’ll do anything better than Intel QSV will, although for continuous transcode (for media streaming) it will likely manage thermals better.

    old games prove how companies are fooling us through driver gimping. ofc 1080ti doesn't get driver updates and gets beaten by the 3060 but in old games it destroys even the 4060

    • @doesitgame
      @doesitgame  22 дні тому

      Thought about that, opted not to because that’s just testing the die against itself and coming to the conclusion that the higher memory clock and power limit on the retail card make it faster in games that lean on memory bandwidth, while the higher (factory) boot clock on the Radeon Pro GPU make it marginally faster when memory bandwidth isn’t an issue and the card is allowed to boost within its power budget.

      Yup, Ti for Titanium, the branding they creatively “borrowed” from Texas Instruments while trying to edgelord in the early 2000s, presumably because adding an X onto GT was no longer edgy enough.

      I can’t say I ever had that happen. What drivers, specifically? If you’re using the 24.3.1 drivers, try the Pro drivers instead (23.Q4 or whatever?).
      Two other things to try:
      In your system settings, disable Windows autodetecting and installing drivers. That fixes 95% of issues with Radeon cards.
      The other is to install the atikmdag patch. Fixes most other AMD crash issues.
