which one wold pair up better, less bottleneck and all that, a bottleneck calculator said the 560 works better, can i trust it? Is there any other gpus i should consider? (Small budget, Brazil is complicated)
(I use linux, if that changes something)
ROCm on RX 570? RLY?
apologies for possibly misleading OP, although they didn’t explicitly ask for it.
anyhow, old versions still work for some use cases, with some tweaks being necessary.
Thanks for the answers! But oh, yeah those 570 seem pretty good, problem is i already just bought a 400W PSU some days ago, didn’t search up properly haha, pain
Aand also, i can’t really seem to find any 570 being sold here on Brazil for a decent price, the price tag difference from a 560 to a 570 is like, veery big, and importation isn’t really an option since fees would basically double the price
The cheapest not used 560 i could find here is currently being sold at R$623,52 (if purchased in installments, slightly cheaper if not) which in a direct conversion would be 118,67 USD
The only option on that level for a lower price would be those used refurbished ones from aliexpress, some of them have stock on Brazil, but i haven’t heard that good of their durability, and my power supply wouldn’t be able to handle them anyway
those are insane prices, I’m very sorry you’re in this position. almost everywhere else in the world, prices are driven down by people upgrading to current tech, like the 7000 series, which thne pushes down used 6000-series which then pushes down used 5000-series and so on, and also there being a plethora of old cards used for mining in the olden days that nobody wants to buy.
Yeah, it’s complicated, not sure but i guess it’s cuz the higher end stuff is just so out of reality for most people here that the demand for the older stuff goes up enough for it to become pricey too, and there’s also the insane import taxation that began recently just making everything worse
Little extra question tho, is there really no way that this 400W PSU could handle one of those? i mean, its TDP seems to be 150W, with the 77W from the i5, there’s still bit left there till 400
oh, you can get away with a 350 W PSU if it’s a good one, like one from a reputable brand. I was mentioning shitty 500 W PSUs as those are ubiquitous practically everywhere and cost next to nothing.
you’ll see if you’re ready to rock when you first turn it on, most of the GPUs have a LED near the power connector. if the PSU is adequate, the light is white. if it isn’t, it’s red.
Oh i see, this 400W one i got said it had one of those 80 plus White certification or something, and said it had 80% efficiency, so if this is true i suppose it may do the job then, about this light thing, I’ll look for that when it arrives, never saw a PSU with an LED, interesting, thanks there!
Oooooh hold on, you said most GPUs have an LED, ok, now that makes more sense, misread that haha
