Well... I'm not sure at best, currently throughout the thread had looked on case size, the Speccy sheet, comparing, and so on. So far the only thing that might bottleneck the GPUs really hard will be the CPU (i3 2100... Had to do with that) and according to many benchmarks of the combination I'll experience a -10% to -50% performance off target (depends card to card. I personally don't mind... Ish since the resulting bottlenecked result seems to still be very well be usable) from what the GPUs can actually do on peak performance load (with the proper drivers even), but will be less apparent in lighter loads.Look for a gpu that matches your system spec's would be my advice.
The case is an Alcatroz Azzura Neo V with dimensions of 30cm x 17cm x 35cm. Micro ATX. Currently one stock fan for the processor which is usually coupled for the H61 Motherboard, no extra case fan. It can fit case fans, Front and Rear support if optioned as well. (But mine don't, at least, yet)What case do you have and how many case fans are in it, did you ever get a proper power supply?
Like earlier in the thread, at most if converted to USD, below $150, but much more preferred if it can be below $120, or (if possible) even better at around $60-80. I don't mind Used condition at all, as long as it works like it should, and fits with good amount of space left in the case.I see, and what kind of budget do you have in mind for the GPU?
Yellow one right?I must have missed where you said that earlier, good to know.
Do you have a measurement of the case length from the PCI slots to whatever is on front of them? (case fans/case front). Nowhere on Alcatroz's website have I been able to find a maximum GPU length.
Alright, I think I'll try out either local brands or the EVGA mentioned for the PSU. Not quite 80+ Gold but I think it'll be enough for my use.Took some time off this weekend, sorry for the delay.
I was looking into GTX 16 series cards as well, the 1660 seems to be a great price-to-performance for your specific system, that being said, a quality PSU from a name brand manufacturer is always a recommendation around here. (500W 80+ Gold unit from someone like Seasonic, Corsair, or EVGA).
Brands are highly subjective, most reputable brands carry the same 3-year limited warranty on parts and labor. I like ASUS personally, but I've also heard of people having good luck with MSI, EVGA, and GIGABYTE.
Alright, I'll see what I can findWe always recommend Gold or higher rated units for units used for gaming or a dedicated GPU.
I'm not too familiar with AMD's offerings. this is an easy comparison/rundown.
As for prices, sometimes older cards can spice in price based on availability/seller, if it's not currently in production it's a gamble.
I'd say yes to that, but I think the load presented might be just enough without needing near the best.A poor quality or too weak a PSU will prevent a GPU from giving its best performance, oh btw a junk PSU will also kill a GPU and if you are unlucky enough the rest of your hardware as well.
Do it right or don't do it all is always the best advice, take it or leave it.
Oh and sorry, 2nd reply to the same message. I used the website indeed before to compare and contrast with the Nvidia ones mentioned so far. AMD has better performances at lower price, however I'm not quite adamant with AMD yet due to rumours of driver issues and larger power draw compared to green-side offerings of the same grade (meaning I can't get away with lower efficiency PSU as easily)We always recommend Gold or higher rated units for units used for gaming or a dedicated GPU.
