Pros

  • That may make the RX 470 4GB more obtainable with lower …
  • So, the thing is, an RX 470 4GB is much, much better than a 750Ti. Well worth the extra R$9.
  • There's a ton of cards available for under €60: GTX 1050 Ti, GTX 970, RX 470 4GB, RX 570, 580.

Cons

  • It used to work perfectly without thermal paste.
  • You see, it has phantom heating and can reach temperatures as high as 78°C. It's quite cold in my room right now, so it doesn't have time to heat up.
  • Under load, the monitor turns off, and the fans start running at full speed. I tried disassembling and reassembling the GPU, thinking the issue was poor contact between the heatsink and the board.
  • so i looked around and found out that it's the gpu freaking out and going in emergency mode. Apparently there are a lot of causes for this, like a broken heat sensor, you misistalled he heat sink on the gpu.
