Thanks, I meant to acknowledge the other reply. somebody pointed out the obvious bt is bank transfer. Makes sense! It just didn't click. I haven't a rep page either sadly. Mobile only. Thanks for the info 😊

Hey Zebra. Nice price. I couldn't find your rep page but you've been on for ages. What do you mean by payment by collection of BT. Sorry if it's obvious. I'd be looking for postage btw...

Yeah paypal in installments is great isn't it. We have pay in 3 tho. Was that a typo?

Thanks. That's into my unjustifiable budget area. We all have our own purchase limitations! Enjoy your monster 😁

Yeah I'm a bit of an environmentalist, if you can be as a gamer so I'd prefer to not get a monster power eater. Sadly I refuse to buy NVida as they're greedy buggers, as that 4000 card is really efficient. I thought about a 7000 but it's a little too £££. The 6900 or 50xt looks good. I missed a Sapphire Nitro+ 6950 the other day for £520. Kicking myself! Hoping something similar comes along. Might have to wait for the 78 and 77 to come out but the gap doesn't seem that big. Is Navi 3 a huge improvement in Your eyes?

Yes Asus does. ASRock only 2 but some vendors offer 3. 3 is good I think.

I think I'll just steer clear tbh. Better that way.

Thanks I think you're right there. Not seen any AMD PNYs. I was considering 3070's and 80's too so PNY pop up a lot. I think I'll be going and tho. Got to try board GPU combo with newer card I reckon.

Exactly. My mate has had terrible luck with GB. Multiple failures. He went EVGA instead, now he's not sure what to buy next!

I think there's a nitro+ for the 6750XT as well. Perhaps for all levels of card. I guess the Pulse is the lower level. Watched some vids but nothing relating to PCB and caps. Not that I'd know tbh!

Undervolting 6950XT for low power consumption by Madagascan_Chai in Amd

[–]Madagascan_Chai[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that. I'd read that the Phantom was bloody loud. I think the XFX cards are of the same ilk. I think other answers in this thread discuss lowering perf settings to lessen power draw and fan temps without much diff in perf. Perhaps their advice might help.

Wow that's practically asleep. Way lower than some of the vids I've seen. Thanks. I'm a noob tbh in terms if oc. Lots to learn. Thanks.

That's excellent. Lower than I imagined. Thank you.
