RTX 3050 Low Profile Single Slot GPU

[@DraidK]

no way they did it everyone with an optiplex is celebrating rn🔥

[@CrocoDylianVT]

I don't have an optiplex but I do still have an SFF office PC

[@joshuakotch7385]

Just put one of these in my 7080 and the performance is very good.

[@DraidK]

@@CrocoDylianVTthem too

[@CrocoDylianVT]

@@DraidK "but I do still" means I know optiplex is SFF but mine isn't an optiplex

[@DraidK]

@@CrocoDylianVT yes all sff pcs

Just got a rx 550 for 25 bucks on eBay after watching on of ur other videos..I think I’ll be looking for a used one of these a couple years down the line can’t wait to see what low profile cards are gonna be like then..keep up the great work dude

[@askeladden450]

The biggest win with this is the -16x- 8x lanes, compared to the rx6400 with only 4x lanes. So this one can be used on pcie 3.0 system without that much of a performance hit!

[@dohmarau]

its an x8 bus in a x16 form factor

[@askeladden450]

@@dohmarau thanks, still more than enough for a low power card like this. Won't bottleneck on pcie 3.0

[@nascarnate326]

So it should be good on a Optiplex 5050 with PCIE 3 ? My WX4100 needs to be replaced.

[@dohmarau]

@@nascarnate326 works great on pcie3. No significant losses

[@askeladden450]

​@@nascarnate326 I think so, there will be a very small hit of around 0-5% in some games compared pcie 4. But not really noticeable. The rx6400 often took a hit of 10-20% on pcie 3 systems.

[@DraidK]

2:13 i would love a new comparison of the low profile gpus

[@dj_paultuk7052]

I was using a 750Ti in my Dell SFF, then gave up with it. Got a HP Z440 with a 12 Core 24thread Xeon, 64GB RAM, and all the space to use any RTX.

[@mkrleza]

The Amazon link you've provided doesn't ship to Europe. I bought this card directly from Yeston for 199$.

[@infinity2z3r07]

seems like sub-75w single slot LP cards would be a no-brainer for these companies. instead we get one or two overpriced choices years later

[@ll_spud]

Yes a lp comparison would be great using pcie 3.0😊

[@dohmarau]

I purchased one of these last month - ive put it in my nas vm and its handling plex hardware transcodes, and can handle some games quite well

[@TELEKINENESIS]

ayyyyyyy hes back less gooo, love this guy and his channel been subbed since day one

[@hamzahassan24]

Compare with low profile rx6400

[@MarvinV180]

When you changed the bracket did you have to take off the heat sink to get to the screw? Keep up the great work.

[@basicdadtech]

Thank you. Yes I had to take it off.

[@pharmdiddy5120]

Can't wait to see how the RX6400 holds up against the 3050 single slot :) I'd imagine the 6GB RAM will give it a huge advantage. Did you see where you can put an Arc A310 cooler on an A380 with a little thermal pad modding? Here's hoping for a single slot RX7600 next

[@sergiogallardo7867]

I got this same optiplex with the rx 6400 LP 4GB and the 3050 is better of course, wish they had it a year ago!

[@penonton4260]

RTX 3050 6gb is the same price as RX 6600 8gb. why should it be compared to RXRX6400? even RX6500xt is much cheaper than RTX3050 6gb🤣🤣

[@SeeJayPlayGames]

@@penonton4260 I can't believe you're actually asking this question. We're talking about small form factor single slot video cards here, and you're bringing up FULL-SIZED GPUs, based on price. Price is not the defining factor here. Your analogy is specious.

[@JamesSmith-sw3nk]

That model of rtx 3050 6gb is +$150 over ($400) the other rtx 3050 6gb in Canada because they are so sought after.

[@joeyjojojunior4886]

I’ve got a 5080 MT as well. Been looking to replace the 1030 I’ve had in it for years. Looks like Gigabyte has a SFF single card slot for $170.

[@SeeJayPlayGames]

2:33 or you could lose the relatively chonky Dell PSU and ditch it for a flexATX power supply for about $40-50 (up to 500W, and connect it with an ATX->Dell adapter) and (hopefully?) reclaim enough real estate to fit a proper 2 slot wide card, and to hell with Dell's intentional restriction. Of course, that's about the difference in cost between the Yeston RTX 3050 6GB and its MSI 2-slot competitor, give or take, so kind of six of one, half a dozen of the other. Edit: I guess I just trust MSI a whole lot more when it comes to issues of warranty than I do Yeston.

[@TrusteftTech]

It's a beautiful card.

[@xBruceLee88x]

Will be great if prices can stay low. Eyeing a B580 but they're power hungry (compared to the 3050 of course). Right now using an RX 560D 4GB. Honestly my whole system needs an upgrade, 4th gen i5

[@SeeJayPlayGames]

4th gen i5, two of them (same model, 4590!). Question, is the RX 560(D?) good compared to, say, a GTX 1050? Slower? I'm on Linux and trying to go AMD for it instead of NVIDIA, and also because my monitor has FreeSync, but I kind of want to stay in the same ballpark. Just now I switched my 1050 (non-Ti, 4GB) to my wife's Windows PC and took her 1030 :( because for a little while we'll be using hers, so it might as well have the better card. I'm sure an RX 560 is better than a 1030, but everything I've seen puts the RX 560 about in the middle between the two performance-wise. Is that about right?

[@username_1985]

Thanks. I will order one nexth month an put the 1050ti LP to a rest, my friend can have it as an entry for PC gaming.

[@candyred3v]

Mine broke at under 2 weeks. Fan speed won't go under 3700 rpm.

[@steaksoldier]

What would you say is the BARE minimum cpu for an optiplex to have to rock one of these? i7 6700? or is an 8th gen i7 a better choice since nvidia cards have higher driver overhead for cpus?

[@basicdadtech]

I would say get the 8th gen.

[@tradeinheritance2559]

I5 6500. See KZbin benchmarks

[@SeeJayPlayGames]

@@tradeinheritance2559 4th gen isn't too much slower than 6th, right?

[@tradeinheritance2559]

No I think i5 4th gen won't work. There's a reason why i5 6500 is the golden legendary budget CPU. Although it CPU bottlenecks it does not stutter and the temperature remains cool. The 4th gen architecture is not on par with the 6th gen although stats say they are almost the same.

[@kloudz1843]

I'm trying to upgrade my power supply in my sff optiplex to handle a better GPU how would I go about that

[@marioprawirosudiro7301]

That would be hard. Dell's PSUs use proprietary connectors, so your best bet would be to get a bigger PSU from Dell. You might not be able to get a third party Flex PSU that's compatible.

[@kloudz1843]

@marioprawirosudiro7301 I've been searching for bigger power supplies with higher wattage but all I come across are the power supplies that would only fit in mt or full tower cases

[@marioprawirosudiro7301]

@@kloudz1843 Yeah, finding a compact power supply is hard. If this is just a regular SFF build, you can find Flex PSUs online. But OEM SFFs are hard.

[@romainhue2736]

optimiz windows fps drope and no performance something goes wrong

[@gamingedition5165]

The fact it costs over 250 dollars makes this not worth it at all I built a pc for £100 that has a h310 i5 8400 16gb 2666mhz and Rx 580 4gb. I initially was going to do a sff build but the Rx 6400 costs 150 new and performs worse than Rx 570 lmao and this rtx is just way too expensive.

[@SeeJayPlayGames]

these are just facts of life with SFF systems. Higher price, lower performance, high heat density and noise. And way fewer choices when it comes to a GPU. If you can't deal with that, then SFF is not for you.
