What do you think of this card to replace my old GTX 660 1.5 gb

[trt740]

Hey guys what, do you think the free game coupon that comes with the card is worth (Hitman the Complete Season One). It says $59.00 . I'm going to sell it but I'm not sure what it is worth. It was a part of the bundle. The video card was actually $90.00 after I sell the game and a $20.00 rebate and a $18.00 discount code. Sorry for all the edits, I missed a few discounts.

So maybe , I could get $39.00 for it. So the card is really $90.00 after I sell the game, the discount code and $20.00 rebate. Give or take a few dollars. So not a bad deal.

 

[Recon-UK]

Good upgrade.

So maybe , I could get $39.00 for it. So the card is really $110.00 after I sell the game. Give or take a few dollars. So not a bad deal.

Do a quick search on Ebay for how much it trends for. Make it few bucks cheaper and it will go within minutes.

No, i very much wouldn't like to share.
Not out of envy, anger, spite ,or other...cuz out of my own hard work and lost time i had to learn the very hard way amd is dead,and their products suck .
When you hit a wall ,like i have, you google , and find out how many have hit the same wall.
Respect @P4-630 your sitting in the comfort zone with that 1070. With 140$ more, that also should have been me. And i had the money back than, now i don't.
Amd hurts

The internet says "wait it out" for what ?? a new driver. It's never coming. Next year vega gpu is coming out and they already forgot about polaris .

Why are you even member of this forum, any forums.
My advise ditch the PC and get a console.

That will be a great upgrade from a GTX 660. Sounds like you got a pretty good deal on it as well. If it were me I'd probably spend a bit more and get the RX 480 though.

I picked it up for $102.00 and free shipping and a bundled game . I'm going to be using at 21.9 resolution 2560 x 1080 on a 29 inch Ultra Wide LG 2k Monitor. My GTX 660 does okay on Battlefield 1 but only with the setting turned down. I'm hoping this will help do to the 4gb of ram increase. What do you think.

For $20 more I would get rx480.

That will be a great upgrade from a GTX 660.

This might be a beastly upgrade from my 670, i made a separate thread.. the 470's performance is eye opening.

I agree with this action, might not maximize your return but it'll get sold fast and save you that much more to make the deal that much sweeter. It will totally go in minutes too if you undercut by a couple of bucks. Piece of cake.

@trt740 good to see you still around here on TPU!

Your new 470 will be a nice budget beast of a card, AMD's new driver package is solid, you should be quite happy with your investment.

Well, the Newegg gave me $ 18.00 off on the base price with a code, and then they said they included a $59.00 game. The nearest rx 480 was $189.00 with a 20.00 rebate. So the difference with everything was about $70.00. with my adjusted game value. With the decent overclock on the rx470 it seems to nearly match the rx480 but was cheaper. Plus, the rx470 has a bit better cooler, and with the $70.00 I bought 16gb of ram. I did consider the MSI rx480. Almost forgot , the rx470 had an additional $20.00 dollar rebate as well on top of all of this that I did not calculate until now. So it will be a total of about $90.00 for the card after I sell the game and get the rebate back. Man I'm getting old, I cannot remember crap lol!

 

[trt740]

Found this review on the card. With a decent overclock it appears to surpass a stock rx 480 4Mb and compete well with a max overclocked rx 480 8Gb. Also it has 6+1 digital power and an additional 8 pin power adapter and dual bios switch. Plus a custom dual fan and backplate. Seems like a beast at $90.00

I hope he'll pick the right one. There are some consoles that are using AMD video accelerators. Hope he ain't gonna hit the wall again so he better pick carefully

 

[Cvrk]

Well , that's uplifting!

I know that is not. Their bullying me. I did the research,and they didn't. Push him hard,so he can come back and write an 10 page essay with links and proof , and a forensic analysis. Not gonna happen. I'm bored at work, so i got time to reply to this. You want me to hold your hand, and search the links i read 2 months ago, and the videos etc... lazy bums @NdMk2o1o @LightningJR , do your own hard work. i know the truth, don't need to explain it.


@trt740 let me give it to you straight... i come to forums for the most important aspect: real life experience. One will never make an educated purchase out of excel charts and pretty pictures with numbers on a website ,or some dudes youtube channel .

You got a problem: maybe somebody has been there before. They will tell you first hand what is like and maybe how to solve it
You wanna buy something: somebody got it before you, he will tell you what is like first hand
That's why forums are awesome.

The rx 480 i got it . it's a graphics card that failed hard. It's your money man. You worked hard on it, can't waste it. Do your homework bro.
And since i'm real with you, gotta go all the way. I knew about the power management issues, from the begging. I very much choose to ignore it. Stingy. Did not wanna spend 100$+ on the 1070. I was hiding behind the fact that i got a freesync monitor and amd was the only way to go. And besides not everyone has complained about the problem, why would it happen to me ? (but it did). Some dudes have it and don't even know it was because of the card. ...but these are computers,man. Things go wrong, who knows why.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to write such a long and thoughtful message. I'm not exactly new at this and did a bit of homework myself. I have not seen one review indicating the problems you are suggesting but I will keep them in mind. Additionally, I will post my own findings. If the card is trash then I for sure will let you know.

I can tell you that if I was in the market for an AMD RX GPU I wouldn't have given you post a second look, saying "No, i very much wouldn't like to share." straight off the line you gave the impression that you either had no substance to your 1st post or that you were just, for lack of a better word, a prick. Maybe instead of being abrasive out of the gate you could have stated that you don't have those links anymore, that you did all the research a couple months ago, maybe even given a short but more detailed explanation of the issues you have had.

Instead, in your 3rd post you defend yourself because you were getting flak back from the abrasive post, that time you had "bored at work" could have been spent helping out the OP, explaining why he should reconsider his decision. I shouldn't have to explain any of this to you, to quote you:

"You got a problem: maybe somebody has been there before. They will tell you first hand what is like and maybe how to solve it
You wanna buy something: somebody got it before you, he will tell you what is like first hand
That's why forums are awesome."


But I digress, I am now the one not being helpful to the OP.. sigh..

It says the problem was fixed with a driver update, and in addition, this card has a custom pcb with upgraded 6+1 power on the GPU, digital power, and it has an additional 8 pin power cord that's plugs directly to the power supply. So I'm not sure that power is an issue with this particular card. Also I'm not bored just doing research. However, thanks

Power isn't an issue with your card. It isn't an issue with any custom PCB card on the market right now. Even the junk power color red devil 480 is fine for draw over the pcie

i wouldnt listen to cvrk, i have a rx 480 and it works just fine power issues were fixed with the 16.9.2 driver, so any recent driver will have you covered if you buy a reference model.
