As a subscriber - a lot of times I'll just read the first comments and this makes me think that this card can't even run cyberpunk well otherwise you would have included it.
Thanks for the video! Just ordered one for my optiplex build! I was about to go with a $140 rx6400....its def worth the extra $40-60. I currently have a Yeston rx550 thats been working for YEARS...just time for an upgrade.
Wow, that is a lot more expensive than I thought it would be. I guess. like you said, the SFF price premium coupled with the Nvidia price premium... Although in the past I remember buying a GTX 1070 Aero that was much better priced for its performance, although it wasn't this small.
@@RazielMessiah I have seen a term in the comment section of the ETA 4070 review "toxic positivity" The dude is mentally not capable of saying a single negative thing about anything.
$209 USD if you can even find the listing. MSI, Gigabyte, and Zotac all have an LP version for around $170 USD. RX 580 performance, for used 3070 prices. The SFF tax is high on this one.
that's sweet. finally we have another more capable single slot low profile gpu.other than rx6400. personally i'll have the cover repainted black but this looks okay as is
4060 sucks down 65% more power, no chance for a SS LP cooler without being continually thermal throttled. Instead we need the laptop 4050 in a 70W desktop config which will be about 50% faster than the 3050 6GB. It'll happen in 18 months.
There's no way 4060 come in this form factor, even the current lp version still need 8 pin power connector, which by itself is thicker than 1 slot bracket
There is a 4060m like this, but sadly only for sale on an strictly chinese language site, so very hard to get ahold of for us outside of China. Drivers also likely spotty since it's a mobile gpu put on a desktop card.
@@grumble8845 4060m is a laptop card, it's not anywhere near the desktop 4060, same as with any other laptop card. They gave them the same name but it's not anywhere close
Apart of me wishes I could just stop caring about 120 fps and at minimum 1080 medium settings. I don't need to spend so much on a PC to enjoy my games typically. This seems like the perfect PC for what I want to have, but my brain gets weird about specs even if I don't fully utilize them.
I have an Intel i7 Beast Canyon NUC with a full size 4070 stuffed into it that was gaming fine on a 144Hz 32" 1440p monitor, but the screen died recently so had to fall back to an older 27" 1080p 60Hz one. Quickly got used to the old screen and don't feel as upset as I should. Funny what you get used to over time.
I'm glad to see yet another low profile, single slot GPU from Yeston. After a decade, my Yeston RX550 still works great in my Lenovo SFF with a Xeon E3-1260L
I have the old RX550 variant on a secondary sff PC. The side panel mesh shows the yeston gpu and i added a zallman copper cpu cooler and put copper heat spreaders on the RAM. It gives an unique look that sets appart from the usual gaming PCs.
Nice!! I was looking for exactly this! I have a nice little 13700 box that needs a real GPU, but only one slot available. I was just going to relegate it to emulation duty, but this is perfect to open it up to some other types of games. Thanks for the tip!
I want to do another SFF office PC, as the one I built with the 6400 was primarily for my son and his room. Grab an 8th generation Intel Opti and toss one of these in.
This looks like it should basically perform the same as an RTX A2000 6GB, which is awesome. I'm gonna try to snag one immediately, this would bring my secondary PC on par with my main PC, which would be amazing for me since I had to swap them under my Virtual Pinball machine to get Pinball FX running perfectly lol.
One of the best is a little misleading. Its one of the few available. I'd say especially with the MS-01 your "best" is an RTX 4000 SFF Ada with second best being the RTX 2000 Ada, with this maybe tying the RTX 2000 non-Ada in third place depending on your workload/budget. This could be considered the best price to performance for the HHHL form-factor. I could give it that at least.
for reference (from other ETA videos), Time Spy GPU scores on AMD APUs : AMD 890m (16 CUs. their latest APU) - 3732 AMD 780m (12CUs, the model from last year) - 3364
Perhaps it’s a Black Friday sale or something, but Amazon has an MSI variant of this right now for $239 CAD (about $172 USD). So definitely check around for other low-profile, single-slot models, because there might be some better prices.
very informative video, especially because you used the MS-01...I was wondering if you would consider a "shootout", of single slot video cards in the MS-01...which one is overall best, and which is best in "bang-for-buck" category...thanks for your time!...jo'c
Options are always great. My A2000 is causing issues a year in, could be it's previous life, could be luck of the draw. Pricing has only gone up on A2000s so would rather have a new vs possible mined card.
amazing! I would like a build like this but, that minisforum mini pc is a real drawback since it has HIGH price, which mini pc could be a med-high end alternative?
I think this is an excellent price and performance baseline to compare to APU based mini PC's, which are really starting to close that performance gap.
My freakin 3090 struggled with Starfield cites, new... whatever the main hubs called. But I'm running 1440p and cranked everything. This little gpu seems absolutely nutty.
The fan seems to be located directly over the die, which isn't ideal for cooling - a few fins might help quite a bit. The fan seems to be in a common-enough location, so that it can actually breathe, though.
There are now single slot cards like that made with laptop RTX4060/Ti from china. Those would be exiting to see. Other than those, there are single slot lp heatsinks for the RTX 4000 SFX Ada Gen and nvidia did release the RTX 2000e as native lp single slot, so we finally seeing some movement in the lp single slot marked.
I think paying $200 for a 3050 is just unacceptable. I think it would have helped a lot of people if you would have explained the many other options that do still exist. Like it or not the RX 6400 looks like a good value compared to this, and that card is overpriced too. That shows you how bad of a value this is.
Heads up you can get the MSI GeForce RTX 3050 LP for cheaper, at least in the UK and it's available for next day delivery from at least 3 retailers. Would definitely be the better buy than this brand, good luck getting a warranty with that.
I have one in a dell optiplex 3040 SFF. Replaced the RX 6400. It's way better than the RX 6400. Using an i7 6700K processor. Pretty decent for an older SFF build.
Starfield looks bad at 1080, idk. I wouldn't really want to play it like that but I really don't want to play it at 4k either. I appreciate these SFF videos, space is getting more expensive, as is energy. I love the shift to smaller and efficient.
One of these or a lp 4060 would be fantastic for handhelds, I know I would have bought one if my OG Rog Ally had oculink. I mean, you would max the refresh rate of the screen with most games at high settings.
Do you know what's the best single slot GPU capable of running on a hackintosh? I saw a RX6600 single slot but it's too pricey and I don't even know if it's the best card for this scenario After watching that video where you used a Lenovo SFF with a single slot GPU it made me wonder if there's a way to get a good performance from a super small pc using macOS. Apple hardware is too expensive here (even on used market), but I can get mini-PCs cheaper
Would be nice if Nvidia release the 4050, as its frame generation tech would allow future proofing small form factor computers... But then again, it works against nvidia interests when people doesn't upgrade.
it is kinda funny (or rather sad) that it took so long to release 3050 in a form factor that actually makes sense... cuz u know... small cards that can do something other than display Windows Desktop are usually snatched by system makers to be used in professional market & AI... so every compact gpu with a blower gets hyper expansive even if it is regular GPU for consumer market (so rip itx builds). Anyway, this gpu + used & refurbished dell optiplex style itx pc. It will be hard to beat that price-to-performance even if you find a good deal for a budget gaming laptop.
hey man, I love your tests but I think use framegen is kind cheating bc we can't see the real potential of the hardware, we already know with framegen we can up the performance, but this kind masks the real delivery of the hardware, would be good if you could either run same game with framegen on and off or just pick one of the heavy games with framegen on and leave other without just to see how this performs, thanks
Though it uses a two-slot backplate, a regular 3050 card is only a bit wider than a single slot internally, and this works fine in most Mini-Itx cases. Is the single slot design here only needed for a case where the card is installed horizontally, like the Minisforum?
also single slot is useful for Dell Optiplex SFF. They seem to intentionally put the x16 slot in the wrong place (right next to the PSU). This card is $40 more than its dual-slot siblings. If you can find it. And I hear it's LOUD (something that ETA PRIME did not mention because he never says anything bad about anything). Although you can replace the power supply with a 1U Flex ATX (with adapters) and fit a dual slot card in there. Still, there goes $40. Or more.
I sent him an Email about it about a week ago. Idk if he saw it. I made some videos about it. I’ll try to modify a 4060 8GB LP and find a way to power it on a different way than the 8 pin connector it needs.
1. 6gb of vram is pathetic in 2024, 8 is already bad enough, these cards should have 12 at minimum with a wider 128 bit bus. 2. The rtx 3050 was released in Jan of 2022, the 3000 series architecture was released 4 whole years ago. 3. The rtx 5050 will come out in June ish of next year, be far more powerful and will actually be a worthy successor over the affordable gtx 1650 regardless if the 8gb of vram or not, the rtx 3050 in my opinion isn't enough of a performance uplift. Thanks Yeston for releasing an rtx 5050 or 5060 in this smaller form factor or in the form factor of the lower profile mini Asus or gigabyte rtx 4060 with at least 10 to 12gb of vram, don't care if the card has to be slightly thicker to accommodate the extra tdp. It'll still be smaller then a regular 1 or 2 fan design. These companies always release something that almost is good and could be good. The rtx 3050 and 4060 are horrible value....
I wish you would have noted what the native performance was. I don't mind highlighting FrameGen performance but I want to know what it's capable of without it.
@@maskedlibrarian1483You could just as easily throw this GPU into an Optiplex SFF. He's using an overpowered mini PC in order for the CPU to not be the bottleneck, and max out what the GPU is capable of. That's how you test a GPU. He's not suggesting to pair these two products up, necessarily. What I don't agree with is his use of frame generation. That's not exactly kosher, IMO... I'd rather see raw performance. But I guess it's a case of "smoke 'em if you got 'em." And you say "$1000 for 1080p gaming," like it's crazy... maybe by today's standards, but if you were into computers a few decades ago, you would have been paying far more than that adjusted for inflation to do 200p-480p gaming. We've got it pretty good nowadays. Realistically, though, I could take this $200 card and slap it into a sub-$300 (maybe way less) SFF system, to make a decent sub-$500 gaming PC. That's the market. $209 is a bit steep for the type of card it is, but consider what it best pairs with (I'd pair it with an older i7, anything from 4th to 9th gen, or maybe a Ryzen 5 3600 or something) and also consider that the GPU is generally the most expensive single part of a gaming system, and it makes more sense.

You shouldn't drop Cyberpunk from regularly tested games: it's a point of reference that's missing here.

Are you able to get fan control to pickup the GPU fan? I can only adjust with MSI afterburner and it won’t go below 3000RPM
How much watts is your psu?
Can you please benchmark with framegen off? I know it helps boost framerates but for comparing raw performance it helps to have it off.
just divide
@@Space-_-Bender the frame gen will add additional load on hardware so even if you divide it's still not representative of real performance
This is a 3050, the 3000 series shouldn’t have frame gen?

Same, I have this GPU and find it loud. I reached out to Yeston and they told me that the speed cannot be adjusted. Anyone tried to upgrade the fan?
@@MrDuditz1er try setting a custom fan curve in Msi afterburner. A minor undervolt would also help drop temperatures, which might help drop fan speed.

Wouldn’t just spending more and getting a Mac mini m4 end up as a better solution?
Personally, without AV1 Encoder, this is fairly useless for me.
so get ARC A310 or A380. Also cheaper.

I sent him an Email about it about a week ago. Idk if he saw it. I made some videos about it. I’ll try to modify a 4060 8GB LP and find a way to power it on a different way than the 8 pin connector it needs.
1. 6gb of vram is pathetic in 2024, 8 is already bad enough, these cards should have 12 at minimum with a wider 128 bit bus. 2. The rtx 3050 was released in Jan of 2022, the 3000 series architecture was released 4 whole years ago. 3. The rtx 5050 will come out in June ish of next year, be far more powerful and will actually be a worthy successor over the affordable gtx 1650 regardless if the 8gb of vram or not, the rtx 3050 in my opinion isn't enough of a performance uplift. Thanks Yeston for releasing an rtx 5050 or 5060 in this smaller form factor or in the form factor of the lower profile mini Asus or gigabyte rtx 4060 with at least 10 to 12gb of vram, don't care if the card has to be slightly thicker to accommodate the extra tdp. It'll still be smaller then a regular 1 or 2 fan design. These companies always release something that almost is good and could be good. The rtx 3050 and 4060 are horrible value....
Nice 😊
Whats the best low profile single slot Radeon?
I wish you would have noted what the native performance was. I don't mind highlighting FrameGen performance but I want to know what it's capable of without it.
$210 USD for just 6GB of vRAM... no thanks.
This just goes to show we are not far off from really good performing gaming handhelds. This could easily fit into a steam Deck form factor.
I can game all day with My Atari 800 XL.
yes, have same gpu. Best thing compared to 6400 is 6 gb ram
2:13 That's more like an RTX 3040 though...
Where is the exhaust on that thing 😂
I'm trying to understand, who is this for? The MS-01 is about 800 bucks, and the the gpu is 200.. so 1000 bucks for 1080p gaming?
You don't need the mini PC.
The GPU is what he's covering, he just happened to have a suitable mini PC nearby
@@maskedlibrarian1483You could just as easily throw this GPU into an Optiplex SFF. He's using an overpowered mini PC in order for the CPU to not be the bottleneck, and max out what the GPU is capable of. That's how you test a GPU. He's not suggesting to pair these two products up, necessarily.
What I don't agree with is his use of frame generation. That's not exactly kosher, IMO... I'd rather see raw performance. But I guess it's a case of "smoke 'em if you got 'em."
And you say "$1000 for 1080p gaming," like it's crazy... maybe by today's standards, but if you were into computers a few decades ago, you would have been paying far more than that adjusted for inflation to do 200p-480p gaming. We've got it pretty good nowadays.
Realistically, though, I could take this $200 card and slap it into a sub-$300 (maybe way less) SFF system, to make a decent sub-$500 gaming PC. That's the market. $209 is a bit steep for the type of card it is, but consider what it best pairs with (I'd pair it with an older i7, anything from 4th to 9th gen, or maybe a Ryzen 5 3600 or something) and also consider that the GPU is generally the most expensive single part of a gaming system, and it makes more sense.
Compare it against the Mac Mini M4
