1080p in-game Showdown: RTX A2000 6GB vs 12GB in Optiplex 7010 SFF

[@Vile-Flesh]

Very interesting. I do really like the Optiplex 3010 and have had great experience with the slightly larger low profile desktop model and a 1650. When I do get an A2000 it will be definitely be the 12gb version because a game I play with lots of mods consistently uses nearly 8gb of video memory and I tend to use the same stuff until it wears out so a 12gb card would go a long way for me I think.

[@OptiGPU]

Great to hear the video was helpful for you - thanks for watching!

[@noth606]

Why not just buy a gaming GPU that is cheaper, faster, and made for what you want it for, and likely won't need adapters to connect to things? If you buy this for gaming you are made of stupid - as the meme goes.

[@HunterTinsley]

Thanks for doing this comparison. These cards are too bottle necked by the ancient CPU, IMO. Would love to see a comparison with a 9th gen or newer. Enjoyed the video and editing!

[@OptiGPU]

Thanks for the idea and for the comment about the video and the editing.

[@jrocket93]

Hey Bobby when u say bottle neck is it still performing good even then what do u think ? I'm thinking of going for one of these bottle necks i7 3770 with the rtx a2000

[@mayanksingh12]

​@@jrocket93I am using it with 3770. Works very well. Although you won't be getting maximum output from it, but performs very well. Emulation gets hampered severely. But PC gaming is quite okay

[@AntiqueKeeper]

Watch the space, got an I7 9700 coming to pair with a 6GB model A2000

[@mayanksingh12]

Thanks for testing it out. Gaming at 1080p doesn't use vram more than 4-6gb. Its gaming at 1440p or 4k for which more vram is needed. So if you test these cards at 1440p or 4k, you will know better about the difference, if any, between the two cards. But anyway, thanks for the video & all the efforts that you put into doing it. I have purchased a used 6gb model. Will test it out & tell you once I get it running.

[@OptiGPU]

Great insights. Yes, I would need to test at 4k to really know better with games like RDR2. Definitely let me know how it goes for you.

[@mido_plays6553]

Where did u buy it from ?

[@mayanksingh12]

@@mido_plays6553 I am from India, so I purchased locally. I got 6GB used model at bargain price of $150. For that price, its fantastic deal. Having RTX & 6GB VRAM enables DLSS with 1440p graphics smoothly at 60fps. Runs emulation fantastic & latest games also rum so well. This card is very highly recommended.

[@noth606]

It doesn't seem logical for a game to contain a lot of different resolution textures for things and then have to somehow manage hitting target vram based on output resolution. It would be downright idiotic for anyone to build a game like that, since you'd waste several times the development time on validating nothing useful whatsoever, only that the right texture is loaded for the right output resolution. I'm going to seriously doubt any effect is found other than a small increase based on the framebuffer size being a little bigger for 4K, but in the grand scheme of things it's not much. Fb size for 1080p is 6.22mb at 24bit, at 4k it' bigger but still a manageable 24,88mb at 24bit. TL;DR resolution matters VERY LITTLE for memory use in the grand scheme of things, complexity and texture size are a totally different kettle of fish but they are independent of output resolution to screen. The thing is this is ignoring other things still that add to memory use like particle effects, reflections, lights, plus various culling of invisible objects and so on, all of which are completely indipendent of output resolution in their base forms. There are some things that matter that are sometimes linked to output res, draw distance and the object culling being two major ones. But in the grand scheme of things they are not huge in most scenarios and engines. Often enough they aren't linked to output resolution at all, but in games with forest for example, they are but with more complex schemes.

I used to have a i5-3470. You know you can upgrade to i7-3770 for like 34$. Big difference

[@jrocket93]

Hey Bobby I'm using the i7 3770 runs real good with a AMD 4gb gpu I got for only 50 I was wondering if the upgrade to a 6 gb gbu for 300 is worth it ?

[@OptiGPU]

Sounds like a good video idea. Thank you.

[@OptiGPU]

Which 6 GB GPU were you thinking about?

[@jrocket93]

@OptiGPU I'm thinking of replacing my amd rx550 4gb that I got for 50 bucks for a rtx a2000 6gb currently worth 300 plus I'm wondering if the performance would be worth it I have a i7 3770

[@OptiGPU]

@@jrocket93 the a2000 performance is definitely worth it. It’s my daily driver currently.

[@Thepigeons377]

A2000 is around £500 for the 6gb version here in the UK . I'd love to get one as it should give a nice boost to topaz ai over the gtx 1650 , but not at that price 🙄

[@jrocket93]

Gtx 1650 ? How many gigs is that ?

[@greatwavefan397]

​@@jrocket93 4GB

[@Thepigeons377]

Plus If your in the UK don't buy one of those cheap 8gb RX 580s that are flooding Amazon at the minute , all from China and all looking like they've been used for mining 😉

[@sikandarnaseer1777]

i bought one for £200 on ebay

[@MMA_vods]

Will this card work with the optiplex 7040?

[@OptiGPU]

Yes if it’s a small form factor case it will plug into the 4x slot and take just about a 7-9% performance hit vs 16x.

[@rahulpandit1749]

​@@OptiGPUhey will it work with a 180watt psu...mine runs rx 6400 no problem

[@bryanthartwig6994]

I think everyone watching this should just upgrade to a new pc. The i5 4570 I have is terrible, I have to lock it at 60 fps to not have the cpu max out in fps games at 1080p low settings and the frame times are super bad. Ddr3 ram and old quad core cpus are pretty bad, a good gpu can only go so far

[@HunterTinsley]

People shouldn't be using a 4570 for gaming in 2023, but the 4570 is NOT a terrible CPU. It's actually a really good processor.

[@HunterTinsley]

@@digitalizeddeath Do you like the 4060 LP? You installed it in a Optiplex 7010 SFF? Did you have to mod the case at all?

[@greatgoon3620]

Which driver i should install? Production branch/ Studio or New feature Branch?

[@Foxy_gt3]

Do these gpus work in the 2024 model

Hi iam from dominican republic rtx a2000 and optiplex 7010 in fortnite perfomance mode plis and limit fps❤

[@sebastianebert4295]

Thx very much for this insight. It's interesting that a cheap old Dell 7010 SFF/DT still can play those games at 1080 res, ofc. using a newer GPU ;) Which PSU do you use? Is it 240/255? W or one of the bigger Dell Server PSUs? I'd like to see X-Plane 10 Demo, 11 Demo or 12 Demo utilizing 4+ GB VRAM, f.e. At least this demo runs for like 30 mins or so. You can set up an insane view distance in this simulator, which should need much RAM and VRAM I think. So far I still use a 1030 2 GB GDDR5, 16 GB RAM, i5-3570, tested X-Plane 10 with both 2K and 4K TV. To my astonishment at 4K the frames don't drop that much as I thought, but X-Plane 10 is an old simulator. I don't play at 4K as it's a waste of resources mostly, but it was just a test to see the pixels on the fuselage in 2K vs. 4K w/o using FSAA. I can imagine that such simulators and also games like Starfield need much RAM and VRAM. How would the original Crysis 1 Maximum Edition run on these setups? 1080 @ 30-60 FPS?

MSI Afterburner

[@czech_r_bestjdi_se_vycpat5023]

i think that the CPU is bottlenecking these GPUs but overall i do think that the 12 gb would be better as it is bit more future proof

[@OptiGPU]

Yea if there are a few games now that use the extra VRAM, it won’t be long until it’s necessary.

[@mido_plays6553]

I have a i3 8100 hp office pc I was wondering which version of the a2000 will it better fit with ?

[@OptiGPU]

Depends on what you’ll use it for (what games) and the output resolution. If you’re gaming at 1080p, the 6GB version will do you just fine.

[@noth606]

Really, you should consider neither for gaming, get a gaming card as it is cheaper and faster. There is like a 4060 or so LP, but others too.

[@ajingolk7716]

Are you sure that that gpu have on it 12 Gb vram🤔

[@OptiGPU]

@@ajingolk7716 Yea the 12GB version has 12GB maximum vram. Not many games really take advantage yet.
