Upgrades

[Capt_Monk]

 

Hello,

I am planning to upgrade my 4060 to a 4070 super, and I have 2 questions. First of all, can the rm750e handle the card, and is there any danger to using the 16pin power adapter, as I heard of some melting. 

Thanks!

Specs:

12600kf

4060

MSI z790 pro ddr4

32gb ddr4

1tb sn850x

2tb sn850x

rm750e

6 Molex case fans (ik its weird)

2 cpu fans

The RM750e can easily handle the 4070 Super   The 4070 Super can only draw 220w at max load.  Plenty of power left over even with a 12600KF CPU.

I use a 750w RMx with my own overclocked RTX 4080.

 

There is no danger in using the adapter that comes with the 4070 Super.

The 4070 Super is low power compared to the 4090 where most if not all of the melting issues has been.

Again, I use the supplied cable with my 4080 and it works like a charm.

I have thought about it, but I do video editing semi-professionally and Nvidia has always worked better for me

If you're afraid of the adapter most 4070 non-Supers do not use the 16 pin and a few 4070 Super models are not fitted with one either, but the non-Super is obviously a lesser upgrade.

or just go with a higher end AMD card and you will never need to worry about that stupid connector

i am video editing too and i don't think you will have a problem with AMD cards

and you will get way more for your money

davinci resolve studio and blender

AMD and blender is a bad idea

the free version only does cpu rendering, studio lets you use gpu rendering and hardware acceleration. and some other neat stuff too

Yeah i i didn't use linux i'd probably move to resolve too

i literally tried everything, from wine to a distrobox container, nothing

i have a windows install tho in another drive so i might consider buying resolve studio instead of Adobe premiere trash

but i couldn't find anything that can top photoshop for me, probably cause i am used to this software since like 2015

davinci is nice just cause it isnt a subscription and does all the same stuff + some extra. Like with one year of adobe studio payments you can get the studio version of resolve for life

i just need to learn to use it

yea its a bit different, it is node based instead of layer based. but it has a semi-quick learning curve except for the fusion page
