I was expecting something more like the RX 580 8gb to take on the 1630(which I didn't even know existed until this video), but then I looked at the prices. 580s are going for under $100 on Newegg.

[@devilmikey00]

They are also 6 year old cards that were a rebadge of a 7 year old card. Unless you can get one virtually free, buy something newer. The 580 is old enough that driver support will end sooner rather than later and on newer games, even at 1080p, you'll have to start making some really heavy graphics option cuts to get 60+ fps.

[@sakaraist]

​@@devilmikey00 I woudln't be so certain, there's AMD cards 5 years older than the rx 580 that are still getting support. I tossed my old one in my work computer and it still smashes, Particularly thanks to the ridiculous overclocking margins you can get on some of them. If high graphics fidelity is what you want, rather than stable FPS a budget card really isn't in the books for you any way. I just checked out of curiosity too, the cheapest card with 8gb new is ~$400 CAD, aside from the a750. If you're on a budget, there's still not a better current price to performance card. While I would recommend say, a 6600/6600xt over one as a cheaper card, you won't be finding one of those for sub $50 like a 580.

[@EbonySaints]

@Sakara123 At $250 or the equivalent in CAD, I'd be willing to give the A750 a chance, but it would probably be because of the slightly better feature set rather than raw gaming performance since I have a 12th Gen system. If they kept that PAX offer and just made it $225, then it would be no contest for me personally. I think that both are decent choices compared to what Nvidia offers unless you absolutely need CUDA. Also, didn't the 300 series get axed a while ago in terms of official driver support? I personally wouldn't mind a cheap 580, but seeing as how it's starting to have some issues with certain games like Forspoken (I know the game sucks, but the point still stands.) in terms of DX12 feature support, I don't see the 580 as ol' reliable as it was from 2017-2022.

[@EragoEntertainment]

How? In my country the cheapest used one in good condition is 150€.

[@Mister_K-J]

@@EbonySaints Though I'm not fully convinced that Intel is all-in on their GPUs, I gotta admit that recent benchmarks after driver updates are impressive. Honestly, the fact that the 580 is *just now* starting to have issues with new titles says a lot. As does the fact that most of those issues are more down to terrible optimization than anything. For a budget rig or a "baby's first PC build" kind of thing, you could do a LOT worse for more money. And to be fair to AMD, they seem to know that continuing support for older hardware is great PR, so the 580 might have a couple more years left in it. Though with how things are going it might not matter when you need a goddamn terabyte of VRAM to run anything properly.

[@chrisp9824]

"Buy used" is a great tip in general when it comes to gaming hardware. One thing is to go to the seller in person and test things out on the spot, maybe go with a seller to check with proffesionals. If seller has a problem with that, look somewhere else, but the market is very saturated and it's quite easy to find a good deal. I got brand new laptop with rtx3060 for literally half of the price, it had no windows so people complained (even better for me, fresh install with no bloat ) and he was trying to sell it for few months so he was willing to let it go for really low. I drove for it 3h total, completly worth the effort. The disc was working literally 5 hours which was probably some factory testing mostly. It's my 4th used laptop and I had issues with only 1 of them and that one was dirt cheap so can't really complain.

I agree with that. I recently rebuilt my entire PC for mostly used parts and it cost me around 600$ cad. Ryzen 3600x for 120 An MSI x490 motherboard i think for 100 New 32gb ddr4 3600 for 110 And a Radeon 5700xt for 250$ at the time. I can run everything amazingly well.

HA! Xeon e5-1630 V4 Dell T5810 8GB included AMD 20$ card with GCN 2.0 and 2gb gddr5 Total 80$, E-motional-damage!

[@CoolTI-Daniel]

@@DarkLinkAD i am happy you are happy with your system. its killer price performance. tho not really comparable to what i have.

[@DarkLinkAD]

@@CoolTI-Daniel The CPU is comparable though. The card is100% bosssx

[@DarkLinkAD]

@@CoolTI-Daniel In all seriousness, I cant wait to quad channel this ram. The single channel is showing 480 on CPUZ benchmark.

I still think Dawid looks like a young version of the old dude who introduces us to Jurassic park...... lol....... I've had this in my head since day one ha....

[@rustler08]

The sad thing is that you can get a new 6500 XT instead of the pathetic 1630 for around the same price, and it's just vastly superior. And a 5700 XT is also a great option used at this price

[@granolafunk6192]

I found a local miner that takes care of his cards. I got a 3070ti for myself for $350 and got a 5600xt for a friend for $120.

[@curiousfox4463]

I forgot the 1630 exists, I remember thinking of buying one to turn an office PC into a gaming capable PC if I ever decided to get one.

[@denvera1g1]

Icant wait for the RTX 4030 at $499

I bought a 2nd hand GTX 1050TI, about 3-4 years ago, and recently thought it had died, (it's nearly 8 years old) luckily it was the motherboard, and my gpu still flies and works like a dream. Best purchase 8v3 ever made 2nd hand.

[@Mechenzo440]

I bought a second hand 2 mo old arc a380 gunnir for 80 euros with almost 2 years warranty as a second gpu for my side monitors. One of the best and cheapest purchases imo

[@EbonySaints]

At €80? That's a crazy good deal. They're okay-ish budget cards, about 5% better than a stock 1650, but the real strength lies in dat media encoder.

[@Mechenzo440]

@@EbonySaints i thought i was lucky but the next week i found an asrock a380 for 90 euros(negociable)in my local market. So i guess people dont like them or smth

[@EbonySaints]

@Mechenzo They're... okay... I bought one for a budget build/BD ripper. For the latter, it's an absolute beast of a card. You can finish a 1080p BD rip of a two-hour film in less than fifteen minutes with HEVC and AV1. If it wasn't for the 8-Pin power requirement on most of the cards and the fact that Linux support is still a little too iffy for server roles, they'd be the perfect media server card. It's better than buying a Quadro for double the price. For gaming, Arc is weird. The cards do best when they're ran hard as hell. At 1080p native low, a ~2800Mhz A380 does about 55 FPS in CP2077, while a 1060 does 70. But crank it up to medium, and the thing trades blows with it. The problem is that it is around ~40 FPS and most people are going to want to try for 60. The A770 and A750 are weird too. At 1080p, they lose often enough to a 6650 or 3060 to make you wonder why Intel bothered. Crank it up to 1440p, and then it starts to turn tables. Turn on ray-tracing and 4K, and somehow, the A770 16GB is losing barely to a 3080. But it's at 24 FPS, and not too many people like spending $500+ on a card to get those numbers. A lot of it comes down to the *really* bad launch that Arc had. The first few months of running Arc were some of the worst experiences that I had with drivers since the old proprietary AMD Linux ones and those were bad drivers. If they launched the cards in the state that they're in now, they'd probably be a little more popular. But given all the headaches and such, people aren't going to give them a second look till Battlemage. Some of it is due to the architectural design of Arc too. Think of it as Vega 3.0. They're also okay at stable diffusion, apparently, but I'm too comfortable with it on Windows atm to try and bang my head at a terminal in Debian. That along with issues with DX12 and Proton with Arc mean I don't like free Chinese cartoon art or freedom enough to make the jump atm.

I genuinely forgot the 1630 existed

[@strydyrhellzrydyr1345]

Wow... See that little 1630.. would just make me soooooo happy... Seriously.. I'd love to be able to get one and make a build... That would be MORE THAN ENOUGH for me

[@braddishv3146]

Dawid - Just how many times have you walked out that door and driven down that first road in GTA?! I imagine those few moments are truly burned themselves into the deepest parts of your brain at this point! 🤣

I'd do things to that Deepcool AIO

[@otacon5648]

For its specs on paper, the 1630 actually performs really well. Honestly I was expecting it to just shit the bed and run everything at 19fps. If you were building a truly budget setup and could find one of these for about £70-£80 used and were pairing it with an old i5/i7, then I could see this serving someone well. (This is coming from someone with a 3080 Ti but I still really love budget builds)

[@stampede18ecs]

I got a second hand 3060 for 225 and full warranty from the last owner. My last GPU was a 1060 which I had about 5 years until this year. The 1060 could run all my games on medium graphic so cyberpunk, witcher 3

[@impc8265]

moral of the story: there is no bad gpus, only bad gpu prices
