  1. Yeah I kinda realised after posting.
  2. Well they were already lied to so... Well yes, it's kinda what I've been saying.
  3. How exactly would it cause trouble? It makes way more sense because there is no chip disparity between the 1050 and current 1050 ti, what does cause problems is the way they're tiered currently, calling a 1050 ti a 1060 just so you can charge more for it.
  4. 1050 2GB and 1050 4GB, probably, just like with RX 560, nobody is calling the 4GB variant an RX 560x, because it just doesn't have a chip powerful enough to be called "560x".
  5. No, I'm saying 1060 3GB should have been 1050 ti, because the 1060 6GB is the full 1060 chip, and the 3GB is the cut-down chip...
  6. Yeah no, it's just nvidia overselling a 1050 ti so they can charge 1060 prices for a 1050 ti.
  7. 1060 3GB is also weaker than a 1060 6GB, therefore making it NOT a 1060, it's a 1050 ti. The current 1050 "ti" is nothing more than a 4GB variant of the same 1050 2GB
  8. Do you still have the laptop? Get Blue Screen View and tell us what file causes the crash, if it's something like atikmdag.sys then it's most likely the driver.
  9. Why do they call the 1060 3GB a 1060 when it's clearly a 1050 ti?
  10. Do you mean "1060" as in "1060 6GB" as in "1060", or "1060" as in "1060 3GB" as in "1050 TI" (the current 1050 "ti" is nothing more than a 4gb 1050)
  11. Remains to be seen, I'll visit the guy I got it from, and maybe I can get my money back, or we sort out the problem and we find out it was probably the power supply all along.
  12. Which is what I fear might have happened, it started being unstable even at stock voltage even in stuff that used to be stable before, like Heaven, it's ok in idle, but under load the screen fills with the same looking artifact repeated, and it crashes, good thing I still have my R7 250 to hold its place while I save up for a new card.
  13. Well yeah, my thoughts exactly, I won't be doing that though because I want my card to run as cool as possible, trying to keep it below 75 (and relatively silent) at all costs, even opened up the case so that it has more room to exhaust the hot air (which did help by 2-3 degrees which is the difference between a feather falling and a jet engine taking off).
  14. Doesn't the chip degrade if it runs too hot or is overvolted too much?
  15. So you're saying a certain voltage will slowly lose stability all by itself?
  16. Is there a possibility of a certain voltage being unstable at any particular resolution? I run my HD 7850 at stock (920/1250), and undervolted it and it seemed stable, nothing wrong even in 1920x1200 However, today I was trying 1440p in Shadow Warrior and the driver violently crashed on me (temps were in check, yes), so is it possible that the voltage I set it at to be stable for 1080p but not stable enough for 1440p?
  17. OK so the workaround to this is to run the card at stock clocks and 1050mV to keep it cool enough for the fans to not shoot up instantly when reaching 80c, now they actually start at 65c Edit: however, I think I'll go for the cooler after all, I'm losing a lot of performance if I do this.
  18. It's not getting hot per-se, but it takes the fans a long time to start up (which gets me concerned that they might fail soon), and it just suddenly goes from 0 to 100% and I have to wait for them to cool a bit so they can slow down. I do run a custom profile in Afterburner, but that doesn't help with my situation.
  19. I just did some testing and I found out I can greatly reduce temps if I run it at 920/1250 (stock) and lower the voltage, so far I got to 1020mV and seems stable. Nevermind after restarting heaven it started to glitch However same clocks, but 1050mV seems to do the trick.
  20. Yes, but as I've said, the fins seem sparse enough to not require too much static pressure to get the air moving Techpowerup says the 7850 has a tdp of 130w, but I overclocked mine so I'm not so sure what my TDP is, it's running at 1050 core, 1450 mem and 1155 mV
  21. Well the fan module for the cooler IS one 120mm fan at 1000RPM (though with high static pressure i assume) Like, currently the one fan on the card is doing well enough on its own, but I seriously have to enable v-sync, otherwise the extra fps will just make the card take off, if the card gets too hot THEN the second fan will start spinning (at around 90% regardless of temps, i checked), so I assume a cooler as giant as that and one fan should be enough, hopefully, like with the fan module it says it can handle 200w, not sure about a regular airflow case fan though
  22. I'm pretty concerned about my HD7850, it has the age old "my second fan on this sapphire card" won't spin issue, but that's besides the point. I was wondering if an Accelero S1 + case fan (120mm 1200RPM) can handle the card, seems to me that it's an airflow fan but the fins on the cooler seem to be sparse enough to not require too high of a static pressure. Buying the fan module for this cooler is out of the question, by the way
  23. In this thread we post thumbnails from Linus videos without any explanation.
  24. I tried this, but it just blue screens on me at startup, I have an HD 7850 running on W10 with the latest Adrenalin 18.3.4 driver. I want this because whenever I make the slightest adjustment to anything in MSI afterburner (even just a +/- 1) the memory clock goes all the way down to 150 MHz, and some programs cause it to oscilate back and forth from 150 to 1200 causing some annoying flickering on my second monitor.
  25. I second that, it's worth sacrificing 3 inches on your monitor for the IPS alone, unless you play e-sports 24/7 then a TN panel would be better for those lower response times.
