i kinda want to build a tiny but also overkill pc at some point asrock makes a mini itx amd epyc board, and asus makes a micro atx threadripper board so it might be doable, just gotta find a way to fit a 4090 into a tiny case
Usually the GPU gets installed leaned over beside the motherboard with a riser card on tiny builds. The airflow is a non issue since those cases are perforated from every side. Good luck.
It look so sleek and professional. No gimmicks, no tacky features, no over-the-top "gamer" aesthetics. Just simple, all black, single blower design at a small size. You really can't beat it. Sure, there's cards that are cheaper to game with. But if you use professional software, and also prefer to have a small, no frills PC build, then this is it. This is peak minimal design.
Nvidia should have released a version of this card with game ready drivers and labeled it a 3050ti... Even with the enterprise drivers, it still competes with a 3060 while using half the power, so I could only imagine what it could do with proper game driver support.
This is nVidia we're talking about. They wouldn't do that just for market segmentation's sake. Why give consumers a good in-betweener option when you can either shunt them to the low-end option where margins are still thick, or to the higher-end ones where they're even thicker?
But it'll cost the same price as it does right now. Will people actually buy it? So the supposed RTX 3050Ti will cost the same as the 3080 MSRT, with 3060 performance, and extremely efficient.
@sedrosken831 So for the same price you can get a 3070 easily, which will outperform this card. For most people don't need this level of efficiency, so why would they sell them? Also they are likely so highly binned for efficiency I doubt they can even make that many to be able to offer it to the consumer market anyway.
Those AM4 Ryzen 5000 series CPUs are a real bargain. Very good performance there. That A2000 is a GPU that many of my clients purchase for architect applications such as Revit. They are surprisingly powerful for their size and power usage. Oh, I almost forgot, I just got divorced a month or two ago as well (I honestly can't remember when she moved out lol). Hang in there buddy.
Overall divorce isn’t that bad….after going to prison for getting into it with her (she really is a bitch)…i was able to get my same job back, and my child support payment was 14,000 upon release…anyways I get full custody of the 4 kids and the house….I seem to have more time for myself and the stresses of life….I finally paid off the child support and got my video games…including a steam deck for myself. The only caveat was that I’ve turned asshole ish towards females….given how easy it is for a lot of them to receive support and overall society is easier on them…and when they complain to me…I let them know yeah you want all this good “shit” that men supposedly have, but they don’t want any of the bad it comes with. Oh and I finally filed my taxes and claim the kids for the first time ever, and I’ve received $20,000 in October…funny thing is that she claimed them…in 22 knowing that she lost custody in June of 21. And I guess she just found out…and said she is reporting me for fraud, yet I told her “I just reported you to the irs legal documents and all” And I know many of females have this sense of extreme entitlement. That will give more energy to…fighting for their agenda or clout chasing. Than to actually sit down and work honestly.
Once you have fitted a GPU any computer is a gamer, that's the most important part. However a high clocked low latency CPU is better than an upgrade to the next GPU.
@@wayland7150 thats kinda what I did for My Friend, So He wanted to Become a Pc Gamer, but Havent Played since Like on His Xbox 360 in 2012 ( The last game He played was Halo Reach) and havent played since then.

So I advised him to Just get a Used Rx 580, ( as thats Enough for like Warzone and fortnite and other less Demanding Games except for Maybe Halo Infinite) But Get a 5800x3d with a Decent X570 Board and 3600 Cl16.

Going from the 1600AF to the 5600 is an even more substantial upgrade than going from the 1650 to the A2000. That's three CPU generations leap right there. Sorry to hear about your loss, my heart goes out to you. This video was quite enjoyable to watch; I hope your channel grows into something big one day.
Technically it's "only" two generations newer since the 1600AF is a lower clocked 2600 (Zen+). My biggest CPU upgrade was going from a Core2 Duo E6300 to an i7-920. At the same time I went from an Intel GMA 3000 to a much more capable GPU
Hang in there sir, those big setbacks often open the door to a better future. Went through similar a few years back. I have regained all the material items lost in the process and found a much better partner in life. Hope things improve for you soon and thanks for the gpu insights :)

Good video :) I wish low-profile GPUs were more of a thing. They work well for stuff like home theater PCs. As parts get more efficient generationally, I think we could see more low-profile GPUs show up targeting home theater and office PC GPU upgrades Hope you're doing well :)))
@@thegames4565 glad someone brought this up. A lot of the tech you see online nowadays, we simply don't need. I'm guilty of it. I have a gaming laptop I don't use much. I have a Surface laptop I only use when I go to a coffe shop. What happens it turns into a hobby. You build your first PC or set up the first laptop you've been saving up for and then more and you pour more $$ into all this shit. And we just don't need it. I'm looking at this GPU bc I can actually use in the living room little SFF PC I have there. When I have serious amounts of $$, I will give back and even gift tech stuff 😁
I've been into building more energy efficient PCs for years now and it really helps to cut down the electric bill greatly. I am planing on buying a A2000 for a new build with a Ryzen 4700GE (or a 5600GE) that is a 35W variant to build a super low energy 1080p gaming PC. Right now though I have as my main rig a I7-10700T (35W) with a RX6600 (regulated to use no more than 100W) so it cut down my power usage greatly. My old gaming rig would use 300KWh a month this current build is 90KWh per month (both PCs ran 24/7).
Watched this on my tv. I had to grab my phone and open up the video just to comment, never saw any of your videos before now, keep your head up!, We all go through bad things in life unfortunately, I subbed and will now go and see some of your old videos :)
@@zebrasprite unless you have a small case or are trying to make a compact build there's literally no reason to favor a low profile card over a better, cheaper card.
@@SlingerMarshall .. this is why he chose an A2000 as he has a low profile build.. Plus, again, nvidia has marketed this as a low profile workstation card, so I doubt the target audience would care about too much gpu horsepower.
The A2000 has some popular overclocking mods. Solder on a wired female GPU six pin connector, shunt mod and/or mod the bios, then you have a power limit > than the PCIe slot limit. Still gets a good performance per watt when overclocked. Undervolt might be the way to go though
Real glad I found this vid! I'm a big fan of small form factor PC and the RTX line up recently just saddens my heart. Also love the fact that you also considers the power consumption as I also live in a place where electricity isn't very cheap. Not many PC building YTer even talk about the wattage, only the games it can play on max settings.
Last year was really awful for my family, I hope 2023 is better to both of us. Please keep making videos, I'm going to try to start making videos this year too! Enjoy the sub!
Hey bro, thanks for making this video! I've been on a quest to build the smallest, most power-efficient gaming PC possible, and I had no idea low-profile GPUs are a thing until my company bought me parts to upgrade my work PC. I've subbed since you have a lot of interesting videos that I'm excited to look into. And on a personal note, I do hope life gets better for you. 🤗
hey, great video! seriously. You have a real talent for this sort of stuff. A lot of other comments say this, but stay strong, seriously. Thanks for this video!
Great video!! I am a little curious about your GPU temps - nvidia chips will throttle at 87 C, which you seem to be bumping up against. I know the A2000 is used - maybe its due a repaste/deep clean? Something looks wrong, as your 1650 (also 75W?) is running in the mid 50's. Best of luck to you and excellent job here :)
Yeah my temps are all over the place. I'm gonna redo the thermal paste on the CPU and probably the GPU too at some point. I expect it came from a mining rig.
@@Swallowfire I bet you'll see a tangible uplift on the A2000 as not only do higher temps cause throttling, but nvidia chips will also opportunistically boost higher the further they are away from temp targets. Although your total system draw does show you're pulling more wattage than the 1650 despite the thermals, so it clearly isn't resulting in a particularly large degree of throttling! Love the aesthetics of the xbox build and great choices in terms of components & value
@@leeroyjenkins0 some of the newer RT-using games like Spider-Man are actually fairly CPU-heavy. Plague Tale Requiem as well, and that doesn't even have RT (yet). And the RTX 4090 is also often CPU-bottlenecked in many games, even at 4K in some cases.
@@Nintenboy01 the RTX 4090 cost double the price as a whole PC system for 4k without a GPU inside. So yea will be a shock if a GPU that cost double the price then the rest of the system will not run in to a bottle neck and yes the 4090 is a Titan card and we all know how bad Titan Cards aged. The better thing back then was to buy the x80 series and get a new gen after release = better performance = better price = better Driver support = Better in everything.
@@atlantic_love wow, you really just tried to use that back at me, a comment I never make, and a statement you have no right in making given that you only know about one of my comments that exist. also that's not what simping is, if anything you could say im simping for the 5600, but simping for the comment, what to get multiple likes? Bro cmon, just cuz you're that shallow, please don't project that onto me.
i love ur concept, and i would love if i can see more of ur content like this concept in the future! because not a lot of youtuber talking about performance per watt
Hey how's it going man, I absolutely loved this video and its the first of yours that i've watched. I hope that with my subscribe itll put you at 1000!! though I think itll actually be 999. Either way, CONGRATS!!!
whenever you think you've hit bottom full of shit, you're always surprised with something negative. I'm right there with you and I've been through something similar. thanks for the video and at least you have a hobby that distracts you
Great video. I am starting a stupid build in a 360 shell and I was wondering if those half cards where any good. I hope the best for you moving forward!
FINALLY, yes, power efficiency. I stopped using my PC over summer because heat, power bill, etc. My tablet gives me all the online love I need, until my next gaming fix.
Great video my man!, you gave inspiration to build a extremely different pc,that i was planning, I went through a lot of things in life as well, stay strong, dont rush things and enjoy every bit of life , it just gets better up the road, will invite you to create more , bacause you have what other dont, keep it USEFUL
@@Swallowfire been thinking of this for a while , now the there is respectable APUs, will transform my PS3 on a real computer , but with the exception of a middle rgb deco, I only need a few parts and a lot of patience
Working on a video about a mini PC with a Ryzen 5600H. Would be very easy to gut it and transplant it into a PS3 shell. You wouldn't be able to add a full size GPU in the future if you went that route though. Difficult.
@@Swallowfire i been watching the minisforum pcs, so im going that way, it is actually a shell , since i have a 360 slim i probably measure which is better for it
Man you're very underrated. When I started watching, I thought you had minimum 500k subs. If you continue with this kind of content, You're going to make it big. Keep it up!
I'm not in the market for a low-profile GPU and I usually don't watch many tech-related videos anymore, but this was super interesting. There's something about smaller hobbyist channels that I find charming. Hopefully you keep posting videos, if so I'll definitely stick around.
Sick video dude. Sorry that life has beat you down so hard, but you got the video out and damn was it a banger. You have a new subscriber from me, keep up the good work!
The algorithm wanted me to see this, and it was right. Nice little xbone conversion you got there. And you were right to skip out on the 6400 on that older mobo. Would have flat out been a downgrade.
Hey man, I'm so sorry things have been so trying lately. That's a lot of hardship to endure.. But I'm glad you're bouncing back, and I'm glad to see you making content again! I know it's hard, to overcome big life troubles, and get back to a point where you can enjoy yourself again. I know the struggle.😞 It was almost exactly a year between the only two videos I've ever made so far lol, but I'm finally on track to getting the help I need! I've got like, 4 more videos filmed, and I'm hoping to find the energy to start editing/animating again! For what it's worth, your fans love you! We'll always have your back 😁 Keep that solid content comin! 🧡 This stuff is MY JAM!
aye finally another 1600af user, sorry to be a pain but do you undervolt your chip ? as i noticed no oc, i would highly suggest mucking around with your chip and seeing how it goes as mine can oc/undervolt pretty well considering its a very cheaply binned chip (this was before the inserted cpu upgrade my bad) also in regards to the cpu bottleneck prior i noticed both first and second gen ryzen struggle to maintain 60 in a lot of games which could be a lot of reasons to say the least this video was a great watch and its nice to see such a low power rig, hope life keepts going up for you man !!
I got a boatload of use out of the 1600AF so I don't regret the purchase at all. I agree on the low power stuff. You can only see so many 4090 builds which cost more than my car before getting bored, ya know?
@@Swallowfire 100% I much prefer this anyway sadly itx/1 slot cards don't exist often enough, and honestly I pretend those high power usage cards don't exist it's not even about the price Infact what you've done is quite inspiring and I may try something similar when I do an itx pc again
Just found your channel. I look forward to more. I started to make videos and real life kicked me in the face as well. I’m hoping to get back in the hobby as a distraction. Good luck bro.
This video feels very similar to another one that just launched a few weeks ago, but, that video didn't share a link to a slick price on a refurb a2000, so thank you!
That's a great video! Surprised of how well the A2000 did for it's size! Speaking of electricity bills, I disabled the PBO on my CPU and oh man. My Ryzen 7 5800H now draws 29W in full load and a staggering 12W in gaming! The performance is also about the same, I only lost like 3 fps in RDR 2 so not a big deal (the CPU stays at 3175mhz with PBO off). Ryzen CPUs are extremely power efficient. A friend of mine also disabled the PBO on his Ryzen 7 3700X for the same reason as me
I’d love the 12 GB version of this little card with like a Xeon E3-1245-V5 and 32 GB of DDR4. I hope you have a great year and I hope things start looking up. I’ll be waiting for more entertaining videos to come!
Super fascinating testing from a perspective that isn’t covered nearly enough. I still hold onto my Gigabyte 1650 OC card as a stable and plenty capable fallback. 4GB of VRAM made to go a long way.
"There is an energy crisis" Not that the energy company profit margins would tell the same story of course. Also I love that. 3080 for like $600. But that's actually more like £800-900.

Good video. I was considering the A2000 for my 4th gen intel computer build and I will search for a good used one. Sorry about your life troubles. You've had a hard 6 months, but keep your chin up. I feel that things will turn around.

This latest video has done 93k views already 👏. Keep it up, my friend. You can keep your TH-cam numbers growing and life will get better. Don't give up the fight!
interesting vid! ive been looking to build a new PC and ive been thinking about which GPU to get.. ive been looking in to the RTX A4000. single slot gpu with 16gb of vram.. but then again, 30 series and 40 series... still cant decide.. i think any newer cards would be better than my 1070... T_T
I know some things are difficult right now Alex but everything will be ok. Ive tried to look at this year like I am character in a video game and the world is just one giant open map ready for me to explore. The possibilities are endless. Just remember to have fun with it all.
Was curious about the performance difference between these, so thanks for that. Sorry to hear about the loss of your granny. My sincerest condolences. Getting married in this country is like rolling the die in Las Vegas. Not worth it in my opinion But I'll keep my fingers crossed you'll hit the ground running again soon.

You’re going to bounce back and this part of your life will become a distant memory. Things always get better, it just takes time. If making videos is a happypass time for you, then you should pursue it. Good luck with everything.
I went through this same exercise over the holidays. Bought the same GPU to upgrade my small secondary media PC I mostly use for streaming and emulation. I ended up upgrading the CPU as well afterwards. I've really been enjoying this low profile card. Thing is a little beast for it's power consumption. Found it on Amazon as a refurb as they are pricey retail.

I'm looking at this GPU bc I can actually use in the living room little SFF PC I have there. When I have serious amounts of $$, I will give back and even gift tech stuff 😁
I've been into building more energy efficient PCs for years now and it really helps to cut down the electric bill greatly. I am planing on buying a A2000 for a new build with a Ryzen 4700GE (or a 5600GE) that is a 35W variant to build a super low energy 1080p gaming PC. Right now though I have as my main rig a I7-10700T (35W) with a RX6600 (regulated to use no more than 100W) so it cut down my power usage greatly. My old gaming rig would use 300KWh a month this current build is 90KWh per month (both PCs ran 24/7).
Watched this on my tv. I had to grab my phone and open up the video just to comment, never saw any of your videos before now, keep your head up!, We all go through bad things in life unfortunately, I subbed and will now go and see some of your old videos :)
Great video, good look for you on this new journey
Thanks for those videos, really got into power efficiency for a few weeks now and it's definitely something that constructor needs to consider
This is dope content. Keep it up.
I got a 12G A2000 for about 410, which is a cracking deal imo.
its literally less powerful than a 1660 ti which you can get for $350
@@SlingerMarshall You're ignoring the main point of the card which is the low profile nature of it.
@@zebrasprite unless you have a small case or are trying to make a compact build there's literally no reason to favor a low profile card over a better, cheaper card.
@@SlingerMarshall .. this is why he chose an A2000 as he has a low profile build..
Plus, again, nvidia has marketed this as a low profile workstation card, so I doubt the target audience would care about too much gpu horsepower.
@@zebrasprite horse power is literally what work stations are designed for
Having to deal with what you're going through and still making vids is amazing, Good luck on your pursuit to happiness. I wish you well.
Sorry about your rough year mate. Just found your channel with this video and now subbed, cheers!
Stay strong mate, your videos are very enjoyable, you have a great potential to become a big channel, just keep grinding it.
Love this kind of stuff, can't wait for the next vid! hope you're doing well :)
The A2000 has some popular overclocking mods. Solder on a wired female GPU six pin connector, shunt mod and/or mod the bios, then you have a power limit > than the PCIe slot limit. Still gets a good performance per watt when overclocked. Undervolt might be the way to go though
Real glad I found this vid! I'm a big fan of small form factor PC and the RTX line up recently just saddens my heart. Also love the fact that you also considers the power consumption as I also live in a place where electricity isn't very cheap. Not many PC building YTer even talk about the wattage, only the games it can play on max settings.
Last year was really awful for my family, I hope 2023 is better to both of us. Please keep making videos, I'm going to try to start making videos this year too! Enjoy the sub!
Very cool upgrade/pc! Sorry to hear about how difficult this year was for you.
I am sorry things have been so hard for, but thank you for the video I enjoyed it and stay strong and hang in there I hope things will get better
I'm always down for a new tech channel, I hope you flourish 💪
Hey bro, thanks for making this video! I've been on a quest to build the smallest, most power-efficient gaming PC possible, and I had no idea low-profile GPUs are a thing until my company bought me parts to upgrade my work PC. I've subbed since you have a lot of interesting videos that I'm excited to look into.
And on a personal note, I do hope life gets better for you. 🤗
You might want to look for the upcoming Gigabyte low profile 4060
I'm going to be buying one as soon as I can, the 4060 is super efficient.
Hope everything will get better for you this year, and good job on the video
hey, great video! seriously. You have a real talent for this sort of stuff. A lot of other comments say this, but stay strong, seriously. Thanks for this video!
Great video!! I am a little curious about your GPU temps - nvidia chips will throttle at 87 C, which you seem to be bumping up against. I know the A2000 is used - maybe its due a repaste/deep clean? Something looks wrong, as your 1650 (also 75W?) is running in the mid 50's. Best of luck to you and excellent job here :)
Yeah my temps are all over the place. I'm gonna redo the thermal paste on the CPU and probably the GPU too at some point. I expect it came from a mining rig.
@@Swallowfire I bet you'll see a tangible uplift on the A2000 as not only do higher temps cause throttling, but nvidia chips will also opportunistically boost higher the further they are away from temp targets. Although your total system draw does show you're pulling more wattage than the 1650 despite the thermals, so it clearly isn't resulting in a particularly large degree of throttling! Love the aesthetics of the xbox build and great choices in terms of components & value
Best of luck in this new year. I hope things will get better.
Dude, sending you good vibes, hang in there king!
The flickering in some of the games is probably from the lack of vram on the 1650
Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it & I'm hoping things turn around for the better for you soon.
Stay strong man, keep up the good job and excellent quality content!
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate just how good the 5600 is, even all the way up to 4k.
actually you're less reliant on CPU power the higher the resolution
@@leeroyjenkins0 some of the newer RT-using games like Spider-Man are actually fairly CPU-heavy. Plague Tale Requiem as well, and that doesn't even have RT (yet). And the RTX 4090 is also often CPU-bottlenecked in many games, even at 4K in some cases.
@@Nintenboy01 the RTX 4090 cost double the price as a whole PC system for 4k without a GPU inside. So yea will be a shock if a GPU that cost double the price then the rest of the system will not run in to a bottle neck and yes the 4090 is a Titan card and we all know how bad Titan Cards aged.
The better thing back then was to buy the x80 series and get a new gen after release = better performance = better price = better Driver support = Better in everything.
Can we all just take a moment to acknowledge that Meusana is another "can we all just take a moment" simp?
@@atlantic_love wow, you really just tried to use that back at me, a comment I never make, and a statement you have no right in making given that you only know about one of my comments that exist.
also that's not what simping is, if anything you could say im simping for the 5600, but simping for the comment, what to get multiple likes? Bro cmon, just cuz you're that shallow, please don't project that onto me.
I'm sorry for your loss, and all the awful things that happened to you. I hope things get better from here on out :)
Pretty nice video bro!! Hope everything on your life gets onroad. Thanks YT for recommending this vid to me, new sub!
bro is an absolute chad, going through god knows what, and yet still cheerful and making vids. Stay strong king, and I hope you the best
nice vid m8, hope you get through your rough times. keep up the good work!!
Thanks for your time putting this together
New to the channel and just subscribed. Good vid!
i love ur concept, and i would love if i can see more of ur content like this concept in the future! because not a lot of youtuber talking about performance per watt
Hey how's it going man, I absolutely loved this video and its the first of yours that i've watched. I hope that with my subscribe itll put you at 1000!! though I think itll actually be 999. Either way, CONGRATS!!!
holy carp i wasn't even looking at my sub numbers, i've been hanging out in comments, thank you so much
whenever you think you've hit bottom full of shit, you're always surprised with something negative. I'm right there with you and I've been through something similar. thanks for the video and at least you have a hobby that distracts you
Great video. I am starting a stupid build in a 360 shell and I was wondering if those half cards where any good.
I hope the best for you moving forward!
FINALLY, yes, power efficiency. I stopped using my PC over summer because heat, power bill, etc.
My tablet gives me all the online love I need, until my next gaming fix.
Great video my man!, you gave inspiration to build a extremely different pc,that i was planning, I went through a lot of things in life as well, stay strong, dont rush things and enjoy every bit of life , it just gets better up the road, will invite you to create more , bacause you have what other dont, keep it USEFUL
What are you planning for your PC?
@@Swallowfire been thinking of this for a while , now the there is respectable APUs, will transform my PS3 on a real computer , but with the exception of a middle rgb deco, I only need a few parts and a lot of patience
Working on a video about a mini PC with a Ryzen 5600H. Would be very easy to gut it and transplant it into a PS3 shell. You wouldn't be able to add a full size GPU in the future if you went that route though. Difficult.
@@Swallowfire i been watching the minisforum pcs, so im going that way, it is actually a shell , since i have a 360 slim i probably measure which is better for it
ill be waiting for your material, good luck man
Great content man! i really enjoyed the video and hope you continue to do more! Keep moving forward, brother.
Hey, just found this video today and i really enjoyed it. Hope everything goes well from here. Will be staying for the next video!!!
Man you're very underrated. When I started watching, I thought you had minimum 500k subs. If you continue with this kind of content, You're going to make it big. Keep it up!
I'm not in the market for a low-profile GPU and I usually don't watch many tech-related videos anymore, but this was super interesting.
There's something about smaller hobbyist channels that I find charming. Hopefully you keep posting videos, if so I'll definitely stick around.
Hey man, great vid! Wishing you all the best from Brazil!
I hope everything goes better for you from now on. Keep on making videos if you enjoy it, I can assure I will watch them all.
Sick video dude. Sorry that life has beat you down so hard, but you got the video out and damn was it a banger. You have a new subscriber from me, keep up the good work!
Great video. I hope things get a lot better for you.
The algorithm wanted me to see this, and it was right. Nice little xbone conversion you got there. And you were right to skip out on the 6400 on that older mobo. Would have flat out been a downgrade.
great stuff! keep up the great work and stay strong, you got this!
Been in a similar place. Things do get better, as does everything with time.
Hey man, I'm so sorry things have been so trying lately. That's a lot of hardship to endure.. But I'm glad you're bouncing back, and I'm glad to see you making content again!
I know it's hard, to overcome big life troubles, and get back to a point where you can enjoy yourself again. I know the struggle.😞 It was almost exactly a year between the only two videos I've ever made so far lol, but I'm finally on track to getting the help I need! I've got like, 4 more videos filmed, and I'm hoping to find the energy to start editing/animating again!
For what it's worth, your fans love you! We'll always have your back 😁
Keep that solid content comin! 🧡 This stuff is MY JAM!
aye finally another 1600af user, sorry to be a pain but do you undervolt your chip ? as i noticed no oc, i would highly suggest mucking around with your chip and seeing how it goes as mine can oc/undervolt pretty well considering its a very cheaply binned chip (this was before the inserted cpu upgrade my bad)
also in regards to the cpu bottleneck prior i noticed both first and second gen ryzen struggle to maintain 60 in a lot of games which could be a lot of reasons to say the least
this video was a great watch and its nice to see such a low power rig, hope life keepts going up for you man !!
I got a boatload of use out of the 1600AF so I don't regret the purchase at all. I agree on the low power stuff. You can only see so many 4090 builds which cost more than my car before getting bored, ya know?
@@Swallowfire 100% I much prefer this anyway sadly itx/1 slot cards don't exist often enough, and honestly I pretend those high power usage cards don't exist it's not even about the price
Infact what you've done is quite inspiring and I may try something similar when I do an itx pc again
Just found your channel. I look forward to more. I started to make videos and real life kicked me in the face as well. I’m hoping to get back in the hobby as a distraction. Good luck bro.
This video feels very similar to another one that just launched a few weeks ago, but, that video didn't share a link to a slick price on a refurb a2000, so thank you!
Chin up brother. Great video. Looking forward to the next!
That's a great video! Surprised of how well the A2000 did for it's size! Speaking of electricity bills, I disabled the PBO on my CPU and oh man. My Ryzen 7 5800H now draws 29W in full load and a staggering 12W in gaming! The performance is also about the same, I only lost like 3 fps in RDR 2 so not a big deal (the CPU stays at 3175mhz with PBO off). Ryzen CPUs are extremely power efficient. A friend of mine also disabled the PBO on his Ryzen 7 3700X for the same reason as me
A2000 is basically 3060 limited to 75W.
It's performance s about on par with a mobile 3060.
Thanks for the video. Hope you’re doing well!
ty for the vid and gl with whatever comes up next!
Stay strong sir. Hope you'll heal yourself soon
I’d love the 12 GB version of this little card with like a Xeon E3-1245-V5 and 32 GB of DDR4. I hope you have a great year and I hope things start looking up. I’ll be waiting for more entertaining videos to come!
Keep going mate I throughly enjoyed your video please make more, I’ve subscribed
Super fascinating testing from a perspective that isn’t covered nearly enough. I still hold onto my Gigabyte 1650 OC card as a stable and plenty capable fallback. 4GB of VRAM made to go a long way.
yea same
be strong, keep your head up everythings going to be alright
Without looking at your subscriber count I thought you were a significantly large TH-camr due to the quality of your videos. Liking it so far.
"There is an energy crisis"
Not that the energy company profit margins would tell the same story of course.
Also I love that. 3080 for like $600. But that's actually more like £800-900.
Bro keep your head up. You’re at the bottom and now you’re rising up. Get your bread up and keep your head up. I’m subscribing just keep posting content.
Good video. Rough year though, mate. Take my upvote!
Hey man great vid keep it up, only thing that I noticed was that the GPU was running pretty hot under heavy load (83c-87c), just a heads up! :)
Keep making these bro!! This was fun 😄
Good video. I was considering the A2000 for my 4th gen intel computer build and I will search for a good used one.
Sorry about your life troubles. You've had a hard 6 months, but keep your chin up. I feel that things will turn around.
What a detail video. great work. Keep it up!! 👍
Interesting card. Thanks for sharing and so sorry to hear it's been a hard year for you. Hope life smiles to you from now on! Keep up the good work!
Great video man and stay strong
Great video! just discovered your channel and the quality of videos is great and the content is very interesting! keep it up man
Hang in there, my friend! Life can get rough at times, but you have a lot going for you still. You will continue building a good size audience if you keep making these videos. This latest video has done 93k views already 👏. Keep it up, my friend. You can keep your TH-cam numbers growing and life will get better. Don't give up the fight!
interesting vid! ive been looking to build a new PC and ive been thinking about which GPU to get.. ive been looking in to the RTX A4000. single slot gpu with 16gb of vram.. but then again, 30 series and 40 series... still cant decide.. i think any newer cards would be better than my 1070... T_T
I would say go for a 30 series. Better drivers and way better pricing than 40 series.
I know some things are difficult right now Alex but everything will be ok. Ive tried to look at this year like I am character in a video game and the world is just one giant open map ready for me to explore. The possibilities are endless. Just remember to have fun with it all.
for a very low 1k sub. This Video is very high Quality! Nicely done champ!
Was curious about the performance difference between these, so thanks for that. Sorry to hear about the loss of your granny. My sincerest condolences. Getting married in this country is like rolling the die in Las Vegas. Not worth it in my opinion But I'll keep my fingers crossed you'll hit the ground running again soon.
hahahaha no kidding about Vegas
Cheers from the US my man! Hope everything works out well this was a great project pc!
cheers, and CHIN UP sir, Brighter days ahead :) 1 step at a time... breath in breath out, Drink some coffee or tea.. and always know that we all enjoy and love your content !
Hey man, I just discovered your channel. I’m not into entry level hardware but I enjoy your presentation style and you seem very genuine, so I subbed. Stay strong mate, life has its ups and downs. You’re going to bounce back and this part of your life will become a distant memory. Things always get better, it just takes time. If making videos is a happypass time for you, then you should pursue it. Good luck with everything.
I went through this same exercise over the holidays. Bought the same GPU to upgrade my small secondary media PC I mostly use for streaming and emulation. I ended up upgrading the CPU as well afterwards. I've really been enjoying this low profile card. Thing is a little beast for it's power consumption. Found it on Amazon as a refurb as they are pricey retail.
