and yet still pure garbage. As a miner during the pan, we still preferred the 1080 and 2060 over the purely garbage 580 8gb. The 580 wasn't even in our radar until 2023 regardless what you tubers want you to believe. Believe what you want for your own state of opinion. We preferred everything be EVGA for fan stability so we never needed to replace or clean the gpu before mass selling to sheep. EVGA did not dabble much in the 8Gb series of 580s. All the nitros you are buying now were not miners. They are just heavily abused GPUs by scrubs with no clue that had amazing cards.

2 days ago I finished building what is essentially my 1st gaming PC, and I am absolutely surprised as to how well it turned out for the little amount of money I spent (approx. 120USD) Got a HP Z230 Workstation with its stock motherboard and a Xeon v3 1245 3 processor inside, got 2 additional RAM sticks for a total of 16 gigs, and got a very good deal on a RX 580 8 gigs. Safe to say that I have stacked up on games that I never imagined I would be able to play, and all of them run on a respectable 60 fps without much tinkering with the settings.

Personally used a 1060 6GB for a long while, though I also had used an RX 480 4GB before that. Considering RX 580 was basically just a souped up refresh, I was pretty alright with sticking to RX 480 at the time... but a friend gifted me the 1060 so I figured I may as well put it to good use. Something very important to note, though, is that NVIDIA still provides driver support for Pascal (10-series), Maxwell 2.0 (9-series) and even Maxwell 1.0 (745/750/750 Ti). AMD, however, has totally cut off modern driver support for Polaris despite its relative popularity, so the 1060 3GB likely has those slight advantages in some games here thanks to that.

Current games use a ton of VRAM. The more you have, the better.

@TurboLoveTrain Ай бұрын

HBM blows GDDR out of the water but isn't on very many cards. Because x86 have trash memory registers and even worse memory addressing you probably won't see supported by CPUs/mother boards anytime soon but newer graphics cards don't use X86 and they fixed the memory throughput... but yeah, the memory interface to the CPU on x86 is already awful and adding the graphics card to the 1970 Bus design is crap which is why the pushed the ram off to the graphics card in the first place. There is no real reason to buy a graphics card with less than 8gigs ram, really 16 is better but anything more has significantly diminishing returns for how all the software is optimized for the graphics pipeline.

@speedygamey7160 Ай бұрын

@@speedygamey7160 I watched this happen real time from the late 90s when I graduated with my computer science degree to what's going on today. It used to be you had to understand math, the operating system and all the graphics libraries to create software. Everything was built almost from the ground up. Open GL evolved into a graphical interface for developers and it became cheaper to create a tool set for developers and than train the developers to use the tools with very little comprehension of what was happening under the hood. Now modern programmers aren't trained in hardware and are barely trained in how the graphics pipeline interacts across the hardware systems with the software--they just learn the dev tools and focus on making it look pretty. They now make up with trash code and trash optimization by convincing everyone they need a faster system. Cyberpunk 2077 is a perfect example: it was written on a shit engine for a console and ported to a PC. It runs like garbage even on a fast machine and that is why 20 year old optimized games run faster and look almost as good.

@speedygamey7160 Ай бұрын

@@TurboLoveTrain What you said is very interesting and something I've noticed as well. I'm still in my first semester of college studying cs so I'm pretty young and new but I noticed back in the day developers would find creative workarounds to run bigger games on less powerful hardware and implementing advanced graphical features while still making the games run at a decent framerate. We've gotten some amazing ports of games on old hardware because of this, like Half Life on the PS2. Same goes for PC games where optimization was one of the key factors in developing a game instead of it being an afterthought. Engines were actually made with the idea of performing better than the previous model instead of just "looking better". Now it's almost as if it's the opposite of that, we have really strong and powerful hardware in the market paired with games that don't look that much better utilizing and hogging almost all of that horse power. Then there are games having terrible memory leaks, stutter issues, crashes and framerate dips even at the most high end specs which should be able to run that game perfectly fine. Now they try to "fix" these issues by just saying that you should use upscaling technology which is just embarrassing. AAA gaming is a joke. I can't recall any AAA game I played in the last year on PC that didn't had me spending an hour messing with the settings just to get an enjoyable experience. My faith is at indie gaming now, at least they know how to optimize a game.

I used that card until 2022 when I was finally able to get a RX 6600 XT for slightly under MSRP at a time when most Nvidia cards were still selling for 20-50% above their MSRP.

These 1060 3gb and 580 cards are only for secondary role PC's or the ultra ultra budget rigs. My oldest card out in the shop is a GTX1080 that I paid $80 for about 1.5yrs ago.

I would recommend going with 12GB VRAM on a 192 bit memory bus as the minimum if you want to ensure 1080p @60fps for 5 years on brand new unreal engine games. (Ideally I would go with 16GB VRAM on a 256 bit memory bus in case the unreal engine requires more VRaM in the future and want to try 1440p.) 8GB VRAM while it still works you will have to compromise visual quality to in order to get 60fps 1080p on brand new unreal engine games making it look worse than PS5. I honestly wouldn’t even consider 8GB VRaM unless I was on an extreme budget

I would be curious how the RX 570 and the 1060 3GB compare, since on techpowerup they're ranked pretty close. And how the RX 570 8Gb compares to the RX 580 8GB, since at least in Romania the 570 can be 40-50 euro cheaper second-hand than the 580, but they seem pretty close in specs. Some ideas for what you might be able to try. :)

can you do a video showing how much of a difference a aftemarket cooler makes compared to a stock cooler when gaming i bought a £15 cooler and i went from 75-80c gaming to 50c yet i see so many people use the stock cooler when spending £15 can prolong your cpu's life aswell as increase performance. people often defend the amd stock cooler but the fact is comapred to a cheap aftermarket cooler its trash.

I personally find that owt that gets above an average of 45 and lows of around 30 are what I find to be in the "playable" range, though it does matter the game, some games just look ugly if they drop below 60, I guess it's how well motion blur etc. is handled. Most of the games here could probably, as mentioned in the video, run better with some graphic setting micromanagement. Considering that, and the fact I don't play owt as demanding as Starfield, I think these would still be useful cards. I'd of course make sure that any system built using these would have upgrade room, as I reckon these cards have only got a year or 2 left in 'em before every new game starts performing like Starfield.

Is it just me or has the used GPU market in the UK spiked in price?

@FlopFan69 Ай бұрын

The pound keeps dropping in value, which causes goods and services to increase in price. It’s not coming back up, the UK need a new currency, one that they don’t control, since clearly they’re incapable of handling their own monetary policy.

@marknewellmusic Ай бұрын

Yes, it has... likely due to used stock all bought up for cheap over the past 12-24 months leading to scarcity driving the prices up. Used GPU prices will drop again though due to RTX 5xxx launch. I'm mainly thinking based on CeX pricing tbh but ebay etc should behave similarly.

@iitzfizz Ай бұрын

Used GPU prices in the UK usually suck as a general rule...I just got a brand new XFX 6750 XT from Ebuyer for £300 and they are asking for more than that for a used one on eBay, even on Ebuyer's own eBay store which is crazy.

It is a shame the VRAM amount is not well reflected in used pricing because otherwise I'd be buying these, doubling the VRAM and reselling them. But I think where it is really at with regards to VRAM upgrades is with Turing GPUs. A 12GB 2060 would hang in there for a few more years. Or how about a 16GB 2080? It is relatively straightforward to do with Nvidia GPUs. You just swap in 2GB chips for the original 1GB chips, change a resistor and you're done. Runs with stock drivers and everything.

Now in 2024 I tested both cards as I have both of them and 3d software to produce parts in a 3d printer. The RX 580 completes the tasks more than 2 or 3 minutes after the 1060... I think the apps are now developed to produce better results with Nvidia, even Intel. In a PC with I5 7700 with integrated GPU it is much much faster than in another PC I own with Ryzen 4600 + Rx580 8 gb, incredible. I tested Orca Slicer, Ideamaker and Cura. Orca and Ideamaker works just fine with Nvidia and Intel and only Cura works fine with AMD 580. Definitively AMD is for gaming and gamers, NVIDIA and Intel are for serious production.

Well, rx580 is more interesting only in case of 4gb vram, it's still enough, compared for example with my previous 3050ti laptop which had 4gb and run most of non-heavy games (The only thing I knew that cyberpunk will be pretty deadly for that gpu). But for most >2020 games with price smth around 50$ rx 580 is a great gpu. 3gb 1060 is just strange even when it just released. I genuinely were not able to understand why 3gb version existed while I had 4gb version of gtx 960. But even today it runs games ain't that bad, as it shown on a video

Be interesting to see how the 580 stacks against the RX560 which is also a 4gb but has that weird sounding memory which can only be 4gb max, on paper the 560 is a 570/580 but with different memory... wonder if you can add memory to the 580 to make it an 8gb, I did remember seeing a chap some years back who reckoned he was going to put 12gb on his 570 but never saw anything further so guessing it was a fail scenario.
