    toastybread got a reaction from whoisjaya in Is my GPU dying?   
    hard to really say.. could be the power supply as well..   may have triggered over current protection.
     
    typically a dying GPU exhibits artifacts at stock settings.. usually discoloration/lines and weird shapes..  a PC just shutting off under load tends to lead me to think maybe power supply tripped over current protection or something got too hot and kicked the PC off..
     
     
    what power supply do you have, what are the specs of your system?   and age of it..

    toastybread got a reaction from Damascus in GPU Pricing   
    apart from it being disgustingly power hungry under load.  i agree, that match the 1060 and 580 very closely give or take in performance numbers but the amount of power a 290X or a 390 consumes is terrible.  i used to owned a 390 (non X) and it demands at least 350 watts to itself under full tilt.  so a bare min power supply is like 600 watts bronze.
     
    right now thanks to miners, to get a card a a reasonable price, you are looking at used and 4GB cards.

    toastybread got a reaction from dalekphalm in Why doesn't a GTX 1070 TI exist   
    but the RX580  has a hash rate of 25-30MH/Sec which is still a bit more then a GTX 1080 does already(about 20Mh/Sec).  vega 56 does 40-45MH/Sec.
     
    AMD cards have better compute performance that can be used for mining.  so a 1070Ti  would be far from a cryptominer card or a compute card.

    toastybread got a reaction from armaneo in Sapphire Radeon R9 285 versus onboard graphics   
    errr...  well yes and no, graphics switching i dont think works on desktop...   but for video editing you definitely want a dedicated GPU ..both AMD and NV are fairly identical in this category at how fast they handle the rendering process..  but onboard iGPu will be miles behind a dedicated card.
     
    can you plug into both?  yes, but you need to enable it on your specific motherboard.. each board has its own name for it and method.  
     
    is it more efficient? nah, but  you be more happier with like an RX 560 or GTX 1050Ti (if you can find them for under $100) since those can both sip power and boost hard in gaming and work loads.. im not sure how a 1050Ti or a RX 560 compares to a R9-285, but going out on a limb here and going to say equal or better in gaming..
     
    EDIT: misunderstood the question..sorry!
     
    for simple cable cutting stuff, the iGPU on the i7-4790K is totally fine for 1080 content, higher may want to consider better graphics...  however multiple streams or maybe do some background encoding type stuff, may want to consider a dedicated GPU that's modern and low power like GTX 1050/RX560. i dont know the software you got and what all it doesn how it does it..
