Hi guys.

I just ordered this card in BE version but did not know there is even non-BE version.

I see BE version uses 1x8 pin + 1x6 pin compared to non BE which uses 2x8 pin.

Does this mean that BE card is  a bit slower compared to non-BE?

 

Please do not take offence for my apparent confusion or rudeness,it's not intent me to be like that,it's just my BPD,be nice to me,and I'll return twice better,be rude and usually I get easly pissed of...I'll try to help anyone here,as long as it's something I dealt with,and even if you think I'm rude or not polite,forgive me,  it's not me it's my BPD.

Thanks for understanding.

I assume those are the cards in question. The non-BE has slightly higher clocks, so should be minimally faster. But most likely not worth paying a premium for.

 

 2010 MHz vs 1980 MHz is a 1.5% higher boost clock.

 

1905 MHz vs 1870 MHz is a 1.8% higher game clock.

 

More pins means it can theoretically draw more power, which could give it more headroom, provided the card isn't factory overclocked to its limit already.

Okay thx.I didn't think of coming to official website and check specs, I am so dumb.

Seller sent me temps while unigine test.

Are these temps normal for this model?

He told me yeah the card was opened and replace thermal paste which I don't like amateur guys opening the card.

Non BE is here as all overpriced asking around 180 euros for it.

I ordered this one for 130 euros which is a bit suspicous to me judging by the price difference.

Only one way to find out is gaming tomorrow.

Probably because most people want "the best", even if realistically the difference is below 2%. If the BE doesn't sell otherwise, the price has to come down.

 

Temps look to be around what I'd expect.

TPU doesn't have to say too much about it. But really seems to have a slightly less aggressive factory overclock, nothing else going on.

If that's fan on 'Auto' then that's pretty good.

Hotspot temperature hitting ~78*C and GPU at 66*C is actually pretty good.

 

If I recall, my NITRO+ 5700 XT S.E. was seeing higher Hotspot temperature, until I set a custom fan curve, and doing a slight undervolt.

Since I have not yet built my 5th PC, can I test the card on open bench without PCI bracket suppport?

So card will literally be installed only into pci-e slot, no support on PCI brackets via screws.

 

Please do not take offence for my apparent confusion or rudeness,it's not intent me to be like that,it's just my BPD,be nice to me,and I'll return twice better,be rude and usually I get easly pissed of...I'll try to help anyone here,as long as it's something I dealt with,and even if you think I'm rude or not polite,forgive me,  it's not me it's my BPD.

Thanks for understanding.
