3060M - Part 2 - Getting better performance

[@agustinpaiva8566]

Ok the intro was actually insane

[@RetroKomodo]

Thanks! I do like making silly intros, you may also like the one on kzbin.info/www/bejne/jovXn4acot93Z5I ;)

[@Darth001]

It was the first video that brought me to the channel. If I was you I would capitalise on the laptop gpu In a desktop system and find and hunt out more gpu's to reviews and test. This is a market not many have made videos about

[@Darth001]

Side note aliexpress has loads of laptop gpu In a desktop gpu case. Last thing seeing you do lots of old tech like pixel pipe yt. You can also get older laptop gpu's and cpu made to run on desktops so you don't have to spend alot to make a good video and I'm sure others like myself would love to watch

[@RetroKomodo]

I can tell! I think I'm only about the third person looking at this card.. If I could find more I absolutely would, but I'm wary of AliExpress import fees. Also I'm pretty much always broke ;)

[@RetroKomodo]

I'll have to do more research into this niche GPU segment!!

[@RetroKomodo]

I have a 6600M now.. ;)

[@BK2Modder]

Awesome to see more of the 3060 Frankenstein The comparison really shows to highlight how even though older i5s and i7s offer a lot pf value, there's a good amount of performance left on the table when pairing them with a new GPU.

[@RetroKomodo]

Absolutely. Even a decade old chip is good for modern gaming, although it depends on the chip 😉

[@abramcful]

lucky to stumble upon your channel early! hope to see you get to your first thousand subs soon! also how often does your chinese gpu drivers get updated? 3060M has crazy performance

[@RetroKomodo]

Thanks! It seems the guy that does the frankendriver modifies it and get it hosted pretty quickly - within 24 hours i'd say.

[@riskybicky8335]

The future is old! And yea no kidding youre getting subs. That was an interesting topic spoken about bye an interesting dude lol. Ill be hanging around!

[@RetroKomodo]

Thanks - I just broke 1000 so pretty happy! Hopefully more interesting things to come!

[@davidstephens189]

Great video. Thanks for sharing the info about this card.

[@RetroKomodo]

Thanks for watching!

[@Capital_KP]

If only there was more competition in the GPU market we would see more variations of cards!

[@RetroKomodo]

I know - a card like this would be perfect! If it was properly legit and there was a decent amount of them..

[@FielValeryRTS]

Truly a beast for a card meant for laptop.

[@RetroKomodo]

And great for a quiet but fast PC build!

[@iNubpwn3r]

Well played. You got my sub too sir.

[@RetroKomodo]

Thanks!!

[@kvernesdotten]

Okay so Im not really familiar with shadow of the tomb raider specifically, but got interested and did some digging. Not entirely sure I get what the numbers are supposed to represent statistically, but "GPU bound" definitely means the amount of time the GPU was the bottleneck, preventing more frames going through. The result table is a bit more fuzzy to me but from what I gather, "cpu render" is the portion of the processor used to push frames to the gpu, while "cpu game" is the portion of the processor used for handling ingame stuff (it is a benchmark in the game engine after all), Shadow of the tomb raider seems to be a very cpu/ram intensive game though, and used primarily for those types of benchmarks. If I understand this correctly, that would mean that what actually matters is the relationship between the numbers in the table in conjunction with the score, not necessarily that bigger number in table = better. In this case that would probably mean that the work load and 'binding point' has shifted alot from the gpu to the cpu, which would make alot of sense considering the 2 computers you used. TL;DR - indication of bottleneck changing?

[@RetroKomodo]

Well thanks for looking into it! I think I'll just use the average FPS score going forward 😉

[@redmimic5532]

Love the intro!!!

[@RetroKomodo]

Thanks! If you like command and conquer, you should enjoy the next intro I've been working on ;)

[@hostile1ne]

Thanks such a clean content..

[@RetroKomodo]

Glad you think so!

[@kingsknightuk]

just wanted you to know that i subscribed the moment you said it was cool if you wanted to unsubscribe! you have a great youtube voice!

[@RetroKomodo]

Thanks! I don't do a lot about newer stuff, so with the avalanche of recent subscriptions based on the 3060m I just didn't want people to think they'd be getting content about modern hardware! That being said I'm currently working on a third video on it, and I'm tempted to get a 6600m card from China..

[@GregoryShtevensh]

Subscribed!

[@RetroKomodo]

Some interesting news here: wccftech.com/nvidia-new-geforce-rtx-3050-6-gb-gpu-in-2024-70w-tgp-cut-down-specs-lower-prices/ - almost the same thing!

[@crunkskultv2863]

Should try and overclock it and see if there is any more peformance

[@RetroKomodo]

I'll give it a go for part 3!

[@aidanblue1005]

i would record the video at 60 fps atleast and not 30 because it looks very choppy

[@RetroKomodo]

I'll try to do that going forward!

[@RetroKomodo]

I've recently noticed that if I leave my mouse on a video I'm watching it's smooth, but if I have the cursor over something else the framework tanks. This is on any video - not just mine. Could be a browser thing?

[@tahustvedt]

Any reasono why you render videos at 23 fps? :) There's a lot of stutter. A multiplier of 30 works best.

[@RetroKomodo]

I do? I mean the sped up benchmarks look jerky - sure.. but as far as I know I've been rendering out video at either 30 or 60! I'll try to make any sped up video a derivative of 30 in the future :)

[@tahustvedt]

@@RetroKomodoI noticed the stutter so I right clicked the video to check "stats for nerds" and it says the video is 23 fps. Just about all monitors and devicec run a multiplier of 30 so that's uaually what works best.

[@RetroKomodo]

@@tahustvedt 😳 How did I not know that was there.. Well. I'll uh.. need to look into that! Thanks!

[@RetroKomodo]

@@tahustvedt Hold on - i'm playing the video using the nerd stats and I see 'Current / Optimal Res 1920x1080@30 / 1920x1080@30' - is that what you're looking at?

[@tahustvedt]

@@RetroKomodo Weird. Now it says 30. It said 23 on both part 1 and part 2 yesterday. KZbin's fault then. Any way... Good video.

[@tolil8547]

Why are the videos so chopy? With that framerate it should be smooth. Is because of KZbin compression?

[@RetroKomodo]

There's a previous comment saying the same thing - about it playing at 23 FPS. Turns out it was KZbin, and on a rewatch it went to 30 as it should have done. Internet stuff eh? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@tahustvedt]

Interesting card. What were your settings in Heaven benchmark? I'd like to try the same with my 3060.

[@RetroKomodo]

2:16 has the settings which say custom, but pretty sure I just had it at default settings. I'm going back to it again 'soon' and I'll test again ;)

[@tahustvedt]

@@RetroKomodo AA off? I tried to replicate your settings and used AA off but get lower score with my 3060 undervolted to stay under 110 W. That card seems very good.

[@RetroKomodo]

@@tahustvedt 0:59 has the differences - perhaps it's the higher TMU and shader count? The Chinese card does have more cuda cores for some reason!

[@RetroKomodo]

It's back in now for Pt 3, so settings are/were DX11, Quality: High, then Disabled/Disabled/Disabled, AA: Off, and full screen 1080 :)

[@Jakiyyyyy]

I'm getting so confused right now. Is this supposed to be a laptop GPU though? What does M means on this card? Mobile?

[@hidde663]

its a laptop GPU soldered onto a external gpu pcb

[@RetroKomodo]

Yup. Those clever Chinese 3rd party vendors eh?

[@playstationRLZ]

You mentioned in the first video this card was going to replace a gtx 950 in your son's system. What are the other specs of his machine? Hopefully he isnt using the neighbors trash box computer

[@RetroKomodo]

I think it's an Intel 10100f with 16gb ram and all SSD storage. It should pair quite well!

[@playstationRLZ]

@@RetroKomodo yeah, that should work pretty nicely! Can't wait until my kids are old enough for me to put together a system for them.

[@RetroKomodo]

@@playstationRLZ yeah, but then they just play Fortnite.. it isn't nearly the romantic ideal of going online as father and son :( one day!
