@cecilb79274 ай бұрын
New i7 8700 builds when new would have more than likely been paired with 1070 or 1080 GPUs. In my opinion an 8700 and 1080 is still a completely usable gaming platform. My play with an Optiplex like that is to find a similar vintage gaming rig real cheap, and swap the i3 or i5 then sell the Optiplex for what I paid for it (normally under $100), and the value of the gaming PC goes way up. In your case, it isn't a bad setup even with the GPU limitations and cooling issues, turned out pretty solid.
@TheGameBench4 ай бұрын
The problem with saying that the RX 6400 only loses about 15% performance in a Gen3 slot doesn't really give you an idea of how bad running one in a Gen3 slot can be. Just look at some of the frame rate consistency in your own testing. That's because the RX 6400 just had too many corners cut. Too few PCIe lanes, the constricted memory bus and only having 4GB of RAM are the issue... and it has issues even in a Gen4 slot. Gen3 just compounds those issues since you're now cutting the bandwidth in half. This leads to not just a loss in average frame rate, but more importantly, frame rate consistency. It's not so much an issue with bottlnecking the GPU itself, it's that you're seriously bottlenecking the communication between the video memory and anything that needs to access it. That's not to say it has problems in every game, but it's certainly a minefield I'd rather tell people to avoid. Especially when you don't even have to stick to a single slot card in these systems... at least the 50 and 70 class Optiplex SFF.

I was peeping the internals and noticed that the top PCI-E slot was shorter, which yeah means less lanes and a bit of a performance drop, BUT it had a cut in it meaning it could probably take in a longer tongue. Meaning your gpu options could possibly fight that lane cut since you'd be able to do double slot LP GPUs. Maybe, though. Not entirely sure.

What you didn't include in the video however is that the best performance upgrade this PC can get (And got as shown in Diablo) is the RTX A2000 which technically performs like an RTX 2060.

Looking at this performance wise, it might be better to get an Arc A310 and A380 for cheaper. Those 2 cards are right around 100$/130$ and perform much better than the RX6400 and have AV1 Encoding which the 6400 doesn't even have one. The A380 doesn't get limited by the pcie gen 3 lanes, just activate rebar and boom you're good to go. But either way good video Zach.

A year and a half back, I needed a laptop that I could take to college, but I also wanted it to be able to play games decently, After much research I decided on the Asus Tuf F15, i5(don't remember gen) 8 gb ddr4, GTX 1650, and 144hz refresh rate, But when I went to the store to buy it, They were out of stock, The store recommended me another laptop which was on sale(black Friday) It was Lenovo IdeaPad gaming 3, Ryzen 5 5600H, 8 gb ddr4, RTX 3050, and 120hz refresh rate, it didn't have rgb back-lit keyboard and I couldn't upgrade it to more than 16 gb ram, but it had a better graphics card and also had a camera shutter. So I bought it, I also got a Logitech g402 and a laptop bag with it for free, In the past year tho, I've had to call customer care multiple times to solve problems with the laptop, I've had the ram change once, mic change once, motherboard change twice and the screen change once, Fortunately it was all covered under warranty and the laptop does run smooth, but did I make a mistake buying it?
