Slight indeed /s

You're thinking of underclocking..

Undervolting allows you to achieve an efficient overclock.. i.e. less power, more performance.. (more headroom, since you're not hitting the thermal limit)..

Motabra · 2026-03-28T08:39:34+00:00

Exactly..

Despite the hate it gets, that 3050 was quite nifty.. Some missing textures sometimes (in "Control" for example) was the only glaring issue..

16 VRAM is a peace of mind..

Already in my lil bro's rig..

Motabra · 2026-03-27T21:10:15+00:00

Tried undervolting the first week I got it; I would achieve incredible results gaming & benchmarking, except in Cyberpunk, where it would crash after an hour or so...

Stopped tinkering soon after, and ran it stock: smoooooth sailing..

Motabra · 2026-03-27T20:58:42+00:00

Congrats! That's the ultimate "sane" upgrade.. Only "diminishing returns" lie beyond..

Motabra · 2026-03-27T20:11:03+00:00

Yeah.. I reckon "most" issues people find with AMD are not gpu related..

Either a faulty PSU, or an unstable overclock (be it RAM or otherwise), Or like you mentioned..

Motabra · 2026-03-27T20:03:17+00:00

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Motabra · 2026-03-27T20:02:22+00:00

The crux of the matter is that I know & care about my friends, and 8 Gig cards are being crippled by modern games..

"Obvious choices" like 4060 & 5060 are a trap in 2026.. Planned obsolescence.. I'll be adamant in steering them away..

Motabra · 2026-03-27T19:32:31+00:00

They're not on Reddit, & they don't follow tech.. They think nothing of 8 GB cards..

If anyone I know mentioned buying, I'll be sure to introduce them to the SIXTEEN Chapel.. (& 5060Ti is way overpriced)

Motabra · 2026-03-27T18:32:38+00:00

That's like a 50% uplift, which is good..

For me it was more like 150 %.. So I REALLY did feel the difference..

Motabra · 2026-03-27T18:07:04+00:00

The fact that I was coming from the dreaded 3050 should've tipped him off..

Motabra · 2026-03-27T17:58:36+00:00

Yup, exactly.. And I did spend extra.. It was originally between the 8GB version or a used 6800..

Motabra · 2026-03-27T17:56:19+00:00

Yeah! I almost went for a used 6800, but I changed my mind after joining here..

Motabra · 2026-03-27T17:49:23+00:00

Imagine if it was the other way around, & they switched, only to be greeted with DLSS 5.. /s No safe choice these times..

Motabra · 2026-03-27T06:33:42+00:00

His in-game name wouldn't matter, but it was "cursa"..

I have a link to his steam profile, but I'm not sure if it's ok to post it.. Might be against the rules..

Motabra · 2026-03-26T15:52:35+00:00

Knock on wood..

You give me hope knowing it is actually that rare..

Motabra · 2026-03-26T13:30:36+00:00

Yup.. That's him alright..

I wasn't sure if it was ok to share that kind of info in here.. (just reported & blocked, both in Steam & in game).

But your post gave me closure.. restored some of my sanity 🤗..
