The website I checked out to compare the cards showed the age of the cards.  The  710 was first sold in 2015 and 2017 for the 580. I can't see myself spending several hundred for the latest and greatest. On 4/2/24 09:53, Stephen Partington via PLUG-discuss wrote: the 710 is almost a decade old

the 710 is almost a decade old even though it is being sold. the 580 is still several core architectures behind. On Mon, Apr 1, 2024 at 8:23 AM Jim via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > I looked up the two cards you mentioned and they perform pretty much the > same, but th

I looked up the two cards you mentioned and they perform pretty much the same, but they appear to blow the GT710 out of the water if this is to be believed. I think I'll give up on getting nvenc to work on the gt 710.  I imagine the rx580 will do much better. https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Comp

That sounds good.  I don't play a lot of games on this thing. The most graphics intensive thing I do with it is watching videos or a little video editing. On 3/28/24 14:05, Stephen Partington via PLUG-discuss wrote: The closest modern card are going to be the RX 580's or 5500xt Thise are in t

The card I have now is a GeForce GT 710.  What Radeon card  would be equivalent to that?  I don't want to buy something that turns out to be slower. On 3/26/24 10:04, Stephen Partington via PLUG-discuss wrote: Also amd flagship cards are getting tremendous performance gains under vulkan. On

I'm switching.  The next time I buy a graphics card it won't be Nvidia.  In fact, I don't have to wait that long.   The computer I have has an Intel gpu on the motherboard.  I just need a couple of adapters.  Neither monitor connects to a display port. On 3/26/24 10:04, Stephen Partington via

I am running Wayland on an arch derivative called Garuda Linux. It runs really well but I have a desktop with dedicated amd graphics. Previously on a Intel/Nvidia laptop with Optimus it worked fine until I tried to flip flop graphics for gaming and ended up having to shut off the Intel gpu and run
