Hello everyone, I'm Neo!
The first thing to note is that the main purpose of this article is to give a reference to value-friends who need "independent graphics cards ." If you just go online, look at the video, do some word processing and use office software (using popular tools called productivity tools ), it may be sufficient to have an Intel-powered laptop.
But if you like to play big games , have CAD software , edit video clips , or play VR , then a good discrete graphics card is a must. If the answer is: Yes. Please look down!
Each year, the flagship graphics update is very eye-catching, such as this year's N Home 1080 & 1070 shot, let the previous flagship 980 Ti fall into the dust of history. Although we had talked about video card purchase before, we have only a few options for the new card: 1080, 1070, RX480 8G, and 1060 6G . Now we have more 1060 3G, RX 470 4G/8G, RX460, RX480 4G and New Titan X. These recruits.
It can be said that, in addition to 1050 and RX490 , A, N two 16-year graphics layout is close to the end. For consumers, there are many choices, but it also brings a lot of problems. In view of this, Neo will venture to analyze and analyze the book strengths of the currently available graphics cards , and attach their own final selection of products and related evaluations. Strive to achieve a text to solve everyone's purchase problems.
II. DirectoryThis article is divided into the following sections:
I. Introduction
II. Directory
Three. Selection guide (including video cards for each price point and demand in the fall of 2016)
IV. Unpacking
V. Installation (also talking about Lenovo brand machine redemption)
Six. Evaluation
Seven. Summary
Please read on-demand friends.
Three. Selection GuideIf you ask, what is the driving force behind the development of PC hardware, it must be a large-scale stand-alone game. Not every year, there are several popular titles known as "hardware killers" or "graphics killers." As a result, hardware manufacturers have also struggled every year, such as the earlier released NVDIA GTX 1080 and the latest New King New TITAN X. However, for those value-conscious users who do not pay much attention to video card consultation, it is really not easy to select the most suitable one among hundreds of commercially available graphics cards.
As a shopping website with a strong shopping guide function, it is highly recommended for " recommendations based on price, " and Neo deeply feels this is a great misunderstanding! Shouldn't we buy video cards instead of " starting on demand "? The beginning also mentioned that if only word processing and Internet access, the nuclear display is sufficient, then why spend more money to buy another video card?
Therefore, demand-oriented online also came into being. Various versions of the “ ladder ladder †seem to be able to solve this problem, such as the following recommendation of a foreign professional website:
The characteristics of this type of ladder diagram is to use the " display chip " as a comparison index. Although the same display chip, these card manufacturers ASUS, Gigabyte, XFX, sapphire are soldered to their respective PCB circuit boards, plus their respective heat dissipation and Power design, performance will be slightly different, but the difference does not generally exceed the gap between the display chip itself.
It can be seen that the current Iris Peo 6200, which is the strongest in the Intel nuclear camp, is still tied with the long- awaited AMD 7770 , and is still in a hurry to play the new masterpiece. The graphics card GTX 750 Ti previously used by Neo, the performance is basically equivalent to the GTX 960M on the notebook, which can be considered as the threshold of the 2015 video card. At present, with the market's dual-championships NVDIA and AMD making an impressive leap forward in 2016, the threshold for entry-level graphics has suddenly increased a lot and must begin with RX460 .
First of all, let's take a look at this year's new graphics card, which is NVDIA's Titan X and GTX 10X0 series + AMD's RX4X0 series . It can be seen that in addition to the current card Emperor Titan X (I think this kind of users do not have to look at this article, want to pursue the top experience directly to buy two SLI it wants), both invariably chose to put the second-to-last model of the graphics card Bit numbers serve as different points.
According to the evaluation report that has been very rich on the Internet for a long time now, Neo will further include application scenarios, display chips, and price information so that value-friends can directly define their goals according to their needs:
1. 720P entry alone
Truthfully speaking, the 750-Ti level also lights up the card level, and can play most games with high-efficiency in the 720P, but if you want to play cool, it is recommended to directly go up one file and select at least the RX470-level graphics card.
2. 1080P games
The dessert area of ​​the current mainstream hardcore players is also the frontal bar of A and N. The two parties respectively dispatched 6 models of GTX 1060 3G/6G, RX 470 4G, 8G, and RX 480 4G/8G . On the performance level, it is 1060> 480> 470, but the gap is small, all at 10% or lower. To put it bluntly, I can do it if you can play. You can't get my card.
The subtleties are: 1060 memory is always 25% smaller than the corresponding model . The current large-scale games, such as the GTA 5 are 4G memory as a standard, even if only in 1080P, so if according to a graphics card at least 2 to 3 years of service life, 1400 ~ 1600 price of 470 4G is 1060 3G better choice , but also a relatively cool threshold for 1080P games to play; and 470 8G around the price of around 1700 makes him look very embarrassing, more points can buy 2000 price of 1060 6G and 480 8G.
In the 2000 price of this 1080P game play cool position, 1060 6G significant life cycle is basically enough to use, such as a large area when the memory is also the time to change the card, so relatively weaker than the performance, 8G memory is temporarily used Not on the 480 8G more worth starting. ( Unless, to play dual card , after all, 1060 can not dual card, but dual card 480 may not be as good as 1070/1080 directly on most mainstream users, so it is not recommended.)
Just CAD drawing , chip simulation and 1080P game is Neo's personal point of purchase, combined with the value of friends broke the recommendation, it also started this interval recommended, XFX 470 4G Black Wolf Evolution Edition (current gold medal member 1529 hand, You can also use white tickets):
If you are pursuing the ultimate value for money, you can choose the low-frequency version and abide by the following benefits:
3. 2K games
At this resolution, it became simpler because AMD did not withdraw from the current generation of new products, so only NVDIA 1070 can choose. Each of the non-public families also scored 3,000 points. Relatively speaking, individuals have a good opinion of EVGA, so recommend this EVGA 1070 , other MSI Red Dragon , Geng Sheng G soul and other high-end series, are a good choice.
4. 4K games and VR
As in the previous case, there is no AMD competition. However, since the TITAN X official website has sold out and entered the hype stage, 1080 has almost become the only choice. The rest is whether or not to double card. This level exceeds Neo's needs too much, there is no in-depth study, but according to the value of friends and professional evaluation outside the station, the public ice dragon overall reputation and price performance is relatively balanced, appear below the 5000 price to send hard disk Discounts can be considered shots.
Addendum 1: Why not buy old cards?
Because of the sincerity of the new card in 2016! At the same price point, the last generation of buyers are changing hands at the heirloom price, and they are also second-hand. The warranty is also worse, and of course new ones are purchased.
Addendum 2: It is said that AMD's drive is very powerful. Is it true?
Is not also, indeed the video circle circulating "The 390X just released 20% lower than the running points, relying on blood-driven anti-kill " legend. However, in fact, in-depth reasons, or NVDIA is currently the only undisputed king of the market, AMD in order to catch up with, had to first release the hardware, drive and then slowly keep up, so in terms of the final effect, it is indeed AMD More driven by the driver. Because the N card has been adjusted to the limit when it leaves the factory.
Addendum 3: All A-cards are good, N-cards are fast, are they funny?
In fact, the difference in the orientation of the two factories will give people different perceptions. Neo personally prefers the " sweetness " of the A-card, which is similar to that of Apple and many photographers and designers. In addition, the industry has the legend that the N card has shrunk some of the color display channels, but there has been no practical evidence. But in the final analysis: the difference is very small, far less than the difference brought by the display. So don't worry too much about it.
As for the picture below, it is entirely Bojun's smile:
Addendum 4: Listen to the graphics card of the year better?
Of course, the year after is even better, but what digital products aren't? Buy early and enjoy early!
Addendum 5: Are these configurations useful for multi-screen, multi-card, 144Hz resolution?
It is indeed useful in the characteristics of the situation, but the dual screen is relatively more suitable for office (the border is in the middle of the line of sight), three screens, then support a good game is not much; Doka's driver is always not very good support; and 144Hz more demand It is in a fierce FPS game and needs to be equipped with a corresponding gaming monitor. So there is no specific detail here.
Addendum 6: How do you see overclocking your graphics card?
At this stage , the improvement of overclocking has been very small . The non-public card itself has its own overclocking, and when A and N are selling the display chip, they have already distinguished the price according to the physical quality. Therefore, if you want to overclock the overclocking, you can say that it is getting worse. Possible. Non-graphics players really don't recommend trying this kind of gameplay that will reduce the lifetime of the graphics card and the risk of BOOM.
Presumably you can see here that everyone can have an idea of ​​the graphics card they want to buy. What remains to be done is to wait for a good price to appear and take a chance. As for the specific brand, workmanship, materials and other details. Due to space limitations, Neo will not start here, and then look for opportunities to chat with everyone.
As mentioned earlier, Neo's original graphics card was a colorful 750 Ti . Its main uses are:
Two-dimensional CAD drawing : 4-core CPU, large memory, 2G memory chips
Chip design simulation : same 4-core CPU, 8G memory
1080P games : 750 Ti in many game masterpieces, such as radiation 4, COD12, can only open 720P or 900P + high effect, directly leading to text and details made virtual, the game can play, but play uncomfortable!
Video editing clip : 4-core CPU, the bigger the memory, the better, the stronger the graphics card, the better. However, due to the nature of playing tickets, it is not yet a professional card.
Taking into account the Neo's own CPU is a 4-core i5 4590, memory is DDR3 4+4 = 8G , so the biggest bottleneck is the graphics card. (Mommy said for a long time is not to play games!) So this RX 470 is not high-end goods, but it will have a profound impact on Neo's entertainment life.
No nonsense, we take a look at the graphics card out of the box.
XFX's graphics card still uses a more distinctive "X" type of packaging , in fact, in addition to personality, but also a protection function design. Prevent violent express damage to the graphics card. The front is written in the middle of the bottom of the " 4GB RX 470 ", indicating the identity.
Dewclaws are still very powerful, with some product information at the bottom.
The back is a feature introduction.
After opening the box is more simple, of course, because of X modeling, protection is very good. A faint highlight of the play hard slogan.
After opening, the upper part is the accessories and the driver CD.
All of these things are the same, sending a double 4 Pin to 6 Pin line.
The disc drive is older and puts it aside.
So the real value is the two. The body of the video card is covered with a protective film and must be torn off before use.
The graphics fan that can be stopped is standard on mid-range and high-end products. (If the high-end card is not configured too much!)
Exposing the graphics card.
It is also an iconic design: removable fan, easy cleaning later.
Slot protector, gold finger is not worn (also avoids the problem of second-hand products)
The backplane and backplane are also standard on mid-range and high-end cards. They look good and prevent the PCB card from being bent.
The core radiator hits a bunch of cooling holes.
Trouble warranty stickers , originally wanted to talk to you about PCB design, do not continue to split. (If you are interested in the design of PCB electrical performance , please leave a message to tell Neo ~)
6 Pin power connector , normal. I heard that the original design was 8 Pin, but it didn't matter. It was enough.
Three heat pipe designs , plus the "XFX" light that illuminates after power up.
The display interface is also a common dual-slot occupancy and has a dust-proof protective case. The traditional DVI interface is still necessary. The VGA is really good for you. There is also 3 DP + 1 HDMI , which is enough. The outlet also engraves the word "XFX" .
As mentioned earlier, the design of the removable fan is very good.
Radiator design can be seen to work well.
When you put it back, the fan connector must be aligned.
Take a look at the golden finger for scratches.
Very good, bright new ! (but think about what it should be)
In general, the biggest highlight of the XFX 470 Black Wolf evolution design is that it has some (can be parked fans, backplanes, belief lights), plus a removable fan design, and good workmanship materials, Overall satisfactory.
The value of the original text before seeing Neo Friends know that Neo is using a Lenovo desktop, before changing the power and motherboard lines (conventional power supply does not have 14 Pin so unpopular specifications). But still can not stop the line messy, but fortunately do not play lights and side through, a cover plate does not affect the heat does not matter.
The old and new generations of graphics cards are handed over.
The original layout.
power supply.
Pit father motherboard power cord.
The slot open button saves the trouble of turning the screw.
The installation process is very simple. Remove the old card and replace it with a new one for one minute. After power on, the XFX lights will be on. This kind of whiteness is very good. It may be over the age of playing RGB.
Unlike many of the more conventional 3D Marks on the site, Neo personally feels nothing about those numbers. And the Internet is also a lot, or directly to the actual game experience.
The first is configuration information.
However, the words driven by AMD are all good and small.
Radiation 4 (top: 750, bottom: 470) Note the difference in floor detail.
Tomb Raider: Rise (top: 750, bottom: 470) details of the stone.
Wizard 3 finally upgraded from 900P to 1080P! Although the screenshots are difficult to embody, the actual playing effects are much better, and the subtitles are also sharp and sharp.
The original 900P effect
Steam VR performance , just enough to edge, or previous conclusions, in order to play VR, 1060 and 480 is not enough, still have to choose a more advanced graphics card.
Overall, in terms of gaming experience, the RX 470 4G version is already well-suited for 1080P games. Compared to entry-level 750 Ti, the biggest difference is that some 720P, 900P games can open 1080P high effects.
In terms of noise, it is true that low temperature stalls and high temperature noise are not significant . Here is a video of Tomb Raider: Rise when it was running. Fan noise, even when the case is open, is basically covered by the sound of the game itself and will not affect the experience.
In terms of temperature, the highest Wizard 3 in several games is only about 70 degrees, which is also satisfactory.
Finally came the summary section, have to say, 2016 is the most recent year, the graphics card upgrade the largest year . It is no wonder that this year's video card inside the station more than a lot of single. From the top of the Titan X to the RX 460, it can be said that both have a relatively large upgrade from the previous generation of corresponding products, coupled with the support of subsequent drivers, this year's new products are very worthwhile to start.
In practical applications, unlike the big ones, 1070, 1080, and VR, as the mainstream gamers are most concerned about the resolution of 1080P, the most mainstream game may be the audience with the widest, best sales range. It is true that A and N have launched fierce competition in this area. From the above actual experience, about 1500 yuan RX 470 4G can already provide a very good gaming experience, and if you want to go further, about 2000 yuan 1060 6G is also a good choice. However, performance increase (20%) plus memory increase (4G change 6G), but also basically corresponds to the difference between the 500 yuan, specifically how to choose, or have to look at personal choice.
Neo thought it private because:
The display orientation of the A-card itself pleases my eyes
AMD drives a good performance in recent years
A card's advantages in DX12 support
When the RX470 can not play a future masterpiece 1060 is basically not
After all, it's cheaper than 500! (The essential)
So eventually chose the RX470. As to whether it is sensible, it will take a few years to look back, but considering that performance and memory are equal to the GTX 970 at the price of 2200 in the previous generation, visual inspection will not be a wrong choice. I also hope that this research purchase experience can give you some references.
