Honestly, I don’t play the game at all … after the first few hours I was done with it. But it’s a recent game with the Snowdrop engine and seemed like a reasonable benchmark option.

I don’t do a lot of DLSS benchmarks. That’s not my default testing. Everything will get tested at native, and I’ll do some additional tests with DLSS. But the baseline will be native.

Excel with macros and formulas and custom CSV parsing that I created.

If you look at die sizes and transistor counts, I don’t expect much of a performance increase on the 5070, outside of MFG. The same goes for the 5070 Ti and 5080. Probably be 10~15 percent faster in most non-MFG tasks.

Holy smokes. That's incredibly optimistic. 5070 is 4070 with much much better AI performance. It's not even prediction my friend. Its a fact.

Even that might be overstating things. It has native FP4 support for AI, which is being used for MFG. As far as I can tell that’s the main change.

I'm worried that the video card fans might break, or that the card will do nothing except make an annoying sound?

@@shahriarmahmud6031 I suppose that depends on what happened to you! Maybe visit a doctor?

@@JarredWalton 😂😂😂

Basically brute force and destroying the existing handle. That’s about all I can say. Once you’ve ripped the handle off, it’s easier to get at the latch mechanism.

@@JarredWalton Thank you for your reply but I managed to solve it by drilling a whole in the latch back and got access to the internal spring.

@@naadly02hey I’m having the same problem… can elaborate on how you did this

@@DavidFritch I drilled a whole in the lock and got out lose

​@@naadly02 Where exactly did you drill the hole? Thank you

Its still an improvement bc it looks better you gormless stick figure

@@cursedcreature9162 yes kid. 1 is more than 2 and 2 is more than 3. In our case, the minimum is somewhere around 92. Both of the above BEFORE/AFTER examples are unacceptable.

@@gurujoe75 And my point is you called it not an improvement which objectively is false, it looks any amount better (your 1 and 2 example) which already makes it an improvement. If it is out of 92 this also goes from 1 to at least 50 :)

@@cursedcreature9162 Word games, but I'm not of that gaming generation, I'm much older.

Yes you can

@@darksonic2426 in that case it's nice

you might want to manually make a fan curve and make it run at low RPM on idle so it doesn't fluctuate like that.

Needlenose pliers, just working bits off the front cover. It took some effort and time. The new hinge came with a cover so I wasn’t worried about it.

I haven't tried all of the workarounds, as many run contrary to getting the best performance and experience from the hardware. Like, I have a 144Hz 4K monitor, and I really don't want to limit it to 60Hz. I also don't want to use the maximum power saving plan. Fundamentally, I just think that if Nvidia GPUs can run at reasonable idle power use with the "balanced" plan, Intel and AMD GPUs should do that as well. I suspect it could also be an issue with the monitor I'm currently using (Acer Predator X27 G-Sync) where somehow the non-Nvidia GPUs end up with higher power draw. But I noticed the same problem using default balanced power plan on a different (older) test PC hooked up to a 60Hz 4K monitor, with the fans turning on and off on the Sparkle card.

ah sorry if i wasn't clear, i was specifically curious as to whether or not those workarounds even work on the a580. of course, you sacrifice performance and quality for lower idles (peak draw will remain the same regardless), but i haven't heard anything about reducing idle draw from any a580 owners at all up to this point. i figured i'd ask you, since you do have one :p functionally yes, finding a used 20 series or radeon 5xxx or 6xxx might be more value, even the a750 can be a better value, but i'm simply interested in what the a580 does. supposedly, the high idle power consumption is a flaw universal to the alchemist gpus, and should be fixed by the time battlemage rolls around.

I used some pliers to rip it apart. I couldn’t get it out otherwise.

​@@JarredWaltonwhat did you rip apart, the plastic area where the lock/latch is mounted? Did you wreck the glove box door to do it? What I'm asking is, Do I have to grab the metal thing and rip it out of where it's screwed to the plastic, ruining the whole thing?

I've got the latch handle torn off, and the actual lock removed from its circular housing. Do I just grab it now with pliers and wrench it off, breaking the plastic behind that it's mounted to with screws on the inside?

@@sarahalexanian9295 I ripped apart the plastic hinge/latch portion using pliers, but I was able to avoid damaging the glove compartment itself. The latch that you grab to open the glove compartment normally is what I had to "attack." I basically broke off little chunks until I had removed enough that I was able to get a screwdriver tip up into the actual latching mechanism to release it. 0:44 - Once the handle is out of the way, you should be able to get a small-ish screwdriver tip up and to the right to push the spring-loaded latch down. Note that the video at 44 seconds shows the back of the mechanism, but the part on the left (in the video) is what you're trying to get to. So get the screwdriver up and to the right and then try to bring the tip toward you and that should push the spring-loaded latch down.

Got it! Thanks so much for replying! @@JarredWalton

Yeah, for idle that’s at least double to triple what Nvidia GPUs draw.

@@JarredWalton Ultimately you can’t really notice it unless you put a wattage meter on it. Does it maybe sacrifice any performance?

@@pauline.deniseHigh idle power doesn't negatively affect performance, just efficiency. Under load, the card behaves as expected, though the Sparkle card does have a higher TDP than reference. It averaged about 195W where the reference TDP is 185W.

@@JarredWalton Yeah just those minor inconveniences that make your computer less reliable over time. Just one last question though, I would have to guess that the it is slightly louder. Am I right?

@@pauline.deniseThat was the point of this video, to show how the fans turn on and off and thus create more noise - this is only happening on this Sparkle Arc A580, at least as far as I've tested, though I would expect similar behavior on other Sparkle cards. The high idle power is part of that, because without an active fan, the GPU temperature doesn't stay below 50C. Lots of graphics cards (just about everything released in the past five years) will turn the fans off when the GPU temperature is below 40C, and then don't turn them on until the GPU temperature breaks 45C or 50C. Nvidia's RTX 4090 idles at around 25W, though, and with a large heatsink it typically sits at 35C-45C and doesn't ever need to turn on the fans until a heavier load gets launched. AMD's RX 7900 XT/XTX for sure have a similar issue with some monitors right now where idle power is in the 70-80 watts range, and so they have to periodically turn on the fans as well. Unlike Sparkle, the AMD cards I've used normally don't have the fan on and fan off at the same ~50C. They do fans on at 50C and off at 40C, which means when the fans do turn on (at low RPM), they'll run for a minute or two at least rather than cycling every 5-10 seconds.

There's a clear difference, you just don't know what you're looking at. But I'm a game dev, so my eyes are different. Most people won't even know what to look for. But never you forget that things only look as good as they do without RT because of thousands of work hours by artists.

@@D.Enniss I know what ray tracing does, I edit videos for a living so I have an eye for this and honestly I can see small differences in the way the light scatters and shadows. But I commented because it seems to be such a subtle difference, is it even really necessary if most people can't detect it?

@@ThePunitiveDamages there is some difference. You just need to play it yourself and watch it on your big monitor to see )

@@D.Enniss >There's a clear difference, you just don't know what you're looking at. Which means I don't care. Should I pay for something I don't care about?
