GPUs & CPUs & Enthusiast hardware: Questions, Discussion and fanboy slap-fights - Nvidia & AMD & Intel - Separe but Equal. Intel rides in the back of the bus.

I legit am not sure why you would buy an NVIDIA card for gaming unless you got a 4090. Rtx just isn’t there on the lower model cards yet. Maybe in a couple more generations

4090 can also let you play with all the new ai stuff like story or image generation.
 
Intel is ending direct investment in their NUC line, RIP:

While the line has been highly successful, mini PCs have exploded as a business since they launched the brand in 2013. It doesn't sound like they're killing the brand, though. It's just going to be outsourced to qualified OEMs, like Simply NUC. The Dragon Canyon box is IMO peak mini PC. 13th gen's NUC Extreme was too big - built to fit triple-slot monstrosities from NVIDIA and the larger, hotter Alder Lake refresh.

Nvidia just gets away with so much because of how dogshit AMD has been with their software for ML/AI. People wouldnt tolerate their overcharging, lack of open source drivers for Linux and proprietary solutions everywhere if there was actually competition in the space that makes the most profit.

Is it the one with the RX6600M? Dude I am thinking about getting one for a dedicated SteamOS experience for a living room PC instead of making a new full-fat PC, is it worth it?

If you mean one of these, no, I have a NUC i9 Dragon Canyon with a Radeon 6700 XT:

However, in my living room, I have a Ryzen 6800U laptop with a GeForce 3050 Ti Mobile. This is pretty close in spec to your typical mini with a RX6600M, and I am quite happy with it. So yes, absolutely, go for it.

I would like to milk my EVGA 3090 FTW3, any ideas other than the usual retard level shit? I know about pads and paste I'm talking about how to just keep this fucking pile of shit thermally managed via software... Precision X1 is alright, but just leaves more to be desired...

Did you read the thread title or look at which subforum you're in?

3rd parties have been putting together some extremely cool NUC packages for a while now, and for budget options there are little units like those Beelinks on Amazon. It makes me wish I could restart my homelab hobby from scratch. I would definitely be making use of some SFF computers instead of building a bunch of desktop sized boxes.

Alright, then how would you answer the comment in question?

I personally don't have the card, I use AMD so I couldnt really help beyond instruction on how to dial in and test settings with Afterburner and modifying the hardware with better fans, etc. My strength lies in the hardware itself, not the software side. That being said, tons of people in this thread do own that card and might have better insight about the finer points of making it run on a specific fan curve / etc. If you want to talk a 6000 series card though, I will have a lot more to contribute. My 6700xt runs at 102 percentile maxed out at 82c with replacement 95mm fans and arctic MX-4. So I can talk about that. I'd imagine the 3090 would benefit from a water block conversion OR maybe remake the shroud with some 120's like this guy did with an old 2070, But I have not done it so didn't need to add my 2 cents in and muddy the water.

That's cool as hell. I have a friend that does 3D printing, and machining. Might see if I can get him to make me something like that in the future, make my own Noctua collab maybe.

That's a lot of words for "I can't, but maybe there's an expert theoretically hiding in the woodwork"
