Cheap entry-level gaming PC fodder.

Great price!

Price is decent IMO, assuming they are actually new. Problem is, likely no warranty, but then you could get the allstate plan from newegg, might be worth it for these.

What kind of performance would I get if I operated this at 90 watts, instead of 180? Would it give about 50% of the regular gpu marks?

The relationship between wattage and performance is not linear. Look up an overclocking guide. I don't know that you could get it that low for gaming.

Does rebar work with these 2048SP China cards?

Ah, I'll give up on it then. I thought the app from AMD made it easy to underclock/undervolt cards visually by percentages.

It does have a power limit slider, but to effectively over/under clock the various RX cards (Polaris, Navi, and Navi2), you need to use all of the controls, and they are different for each family of cards. For example, you don't underclock an RX 580 the same way in the AMD Adrenaline drivers as you would overclock, say, a RX 5700 XT. The overclocking UI is literally different, and family-specific.

I did a little research just now, and there are claims that SAM can work on older GCN cards with modded drivers, but I expect YMMV and any gains aren't going to be as big as on RDNA2. I expect these RX 580s could do so then with a BIOS mod/update?

It's a registry hack apparently

Performance for Free: Unlocking Resizable Bar for unsupported AMD GPUs (Polaris, VEGA, Radeon VII)

AMD decided to introduce the ability to utilize Resizable Bar (if you're on the intel platform) or Smart Access Memory aka SAM (if you're on an AMD platform) for their RDNA lineup of graphics card. Initially, only the RX 6000 series of cards were supported, which was later extended to RX 5000...

Maybe?

However, I'm not a gambling type person who wants to deal with a possible headache in order to find out.

Some 3rd party sellers on Newegg are pretty bad. Newegg seems to tolerate sellers with bad feedback a lot more than places like Ebay or Amazon.

True, true. If the mods feel that this deal may not be legit, then feel free to remove it, with my apologies.


For the record, though, I *DID* mention it was a China-seller. That should have raised the "extra caution flag" for some of you.
