    I know the laptop cards aren’t as powerful, but I never got why they never did official cards like that for people that have small form factor PCs or PCs with small power supplies in general. Would be great for anybody interested in building a small form factor gaming computer, or Any regular Joe that wants to get into PC gaming with a quick upgrade to their standard Walmart computer.

      My guess is they/Nvidia just don't want to sell products that make sense, they are more into products that make money. Imagine Nvidia would offer stuff that is good enough for a fair and reasonable pricing, who would buy the expensive ones ? They want regular Joe to sell his car so he can afford what Nvidia wants him to pay big bucks for.

      3060m and 3060 can actually have the same performance, because in terms of core number, they are pretty similar. I guess if you give them enough power, they aren’t far behind from their desktop brothers

    Actually you could manually install the official driver w/o relying on third party ones. I myself own a rtx3060m and all you need to do is to extract the official driver, look for the location in which the .inf files is resided and manually install it. The catch is when prompted with a long list of nvidia graphic card models, do not select the rtx gpus, but instead select the specific model "gtx 1660 mobile" and install it. After successfully install, repeat the above mentioned steps but this time select your correct graphic model, the "rtx 3060m", after which you should be able to play any games normally with rtx specific functionalities and even install gfe. To upgrade it, just wipe the driver with ddu in safe mode and repeat the manual installation.

    Back in the day I bought an ATI 9600 mobile on an AGP card. I put a bigger heatsink on it and the GPU could be overclocked over 50% from stock. Unfortunately I could only get around 20MHZ or so extra on the memory speed, so the performance gains were limited. I still have it. I put it in a dual Xeon Socket 604 Asus board that could also hit an absurd 50%+ overclock using ClockGen and disabling Hyperthreading. It's been a few years since I last used it considering it eats electricity and can't do that much compared to even a quad core Intel Atom, but it was a fun machine 18 years ago.

    Is there any overclocking potential with this card? Given that it only consumes about a 100W, some gains might be had if it can be pushed to the 120-150W TDP that other similar desktop cards run at.

    I have the RX 6600M from the same company since october last year, working like a charm. The Radeon "mobile-to-desktop" chinese cards make more sense than nVidia's because they use the stock AMD drivers no problem, so the issue of uncertainty of updates for the hacked drivers is completely avoided.
    The only real gripe is that an early year AMD driver removed the ability for tuning the card, especially the fan curve. I had been using MorPowerTool plus a custom fan curve to make the card work more silently, but that update removed my abiity to do so (it also blocks the possibility to adjust fan curve from any external application). Luckily you can resolve that by using the Pro drivers, which do allow for GPU tuning like usual. So far no news from AMD, so I think it was an intended change and it seems to have affected all mobile GPUs, not just these weird chinese cards.
    At the moment the deal made a hell lot of sense, I got it for 200 USD (shipping included) while the RX 6600 was like 400 USD in my country. The fun part is that the RX 6600M has the exact same core as the desktop GPU and is at most 3% slower, unlike other mobile versions

    Got an Rx 6600m on a desktop pcb from the same seller/vendor a couple of months ago for 170€ which was a steal at the time. The card arrived and looked completely new to my eyes and the build quality was great, all metal and stuff with with heatpipes. It worked great, never going above 65°C, great performance. After a month or two my PSU exploded for unknown reasons and the card died as well a couple of weeks after I got a new PSU. The seller wouldn't send me a new one, they insisted that I sent them this one for repairs which would literally last months and cost me a lot of money. Had it repaired two times in my country for almost as much money as I had paid for it and after that it died again and I threw it in the trash. Since most reviews were extremely positive, I guess mine was an isolated case and maybe had to do with the first psu.

    I have been using two of these GPUs in two separate PCs for the past year and a bit with zero problems and they are great value. As many have pointed out, this is personal preference and you always run a risk by downloading anything from the internet.
    Also, the driver mods are simple .inf edits with a small mod added to give support for easy anti cheat for those who play online games - that’s literally all.
    Even though it is a subscription (approximately £1) for new drivers - I lead a busy lifestyle and it’s simply convenient for me 😊 There are also clone AMD cards as well [but they use standard drivers]

    There are a bunch of AMD cards that way and the official drivers work with them, i myself use a RX 6600m and on load it uses 55w of power and capable of running very well heavier games at 1080p. If this was a niche officially produced i would definitely be a consumer because of the performance they deliver compared to the power they use, also because it is quite easy to maintain the card cool.
    The downside of my card is that it needed a repaste to cool the hotspot, and the official up-to-date drivers remove the capability to use msi afterburner and the driver painel to customize fan curves, power consumption, voltages, clocks, etc., so because of that i am forced to use the pro driver 2022q4 to this day in order to have this features available.
    In conclusion i am quite happy with my card since it was a very good deal in terms of price and performance, also if you go down this rabbit hole that is aliexpress cards you probably won't come back the same heheheh

    That seems like an interesting card there. I reckon it matches, or even exceeds, my RTX 3060, which would be good because I think my RTX 3060 might have a couple of issues that I want to iron out. I'm also not too fussed with the missing DP out, because let's face it, who is going to have 4 monitors plugged into their GPU at once! I'd also rather have multiple HDMI than multiple DP, because HDMI cables are more commonplace on both monitors and to purchase, whether outright or when bundled with surplus equipment. The amount of HDMI cables I've salvaged from scrap satellite or cable TV bundles is amazing...
    P.S. You really should go 32GB DDR5. IMO 16GB DDR5-6000 would be worse than 32GB DDR4-3200, both in general and gaming.

      @dv7533 Před 6 měsíci

      for purely gaming you might be right there is little use for 4 monitors, but there are other workloads that do benefit greatly. For programming I for example use one screen for my code editor, one for the output, and the others for documentation, code examples, discussion boards, messaging apps, instructional videos. I could have that all on a single screen and have it all in tabs, but I've found both my work output and work enjoyment increase with every screen I add, although the increase is less with every screen, there is still an improvement. Also other workloads that benefit from having a lot of reference materials visible at once can benefit from having 4 or more screens.
      I actually prefer DP over HDMI outputs because you can daisy chain (within limits) screens together to easily get more screens per GPU and you can get cheap passive DP to HDMI adapters for all your HDMI needs. So I say, make all outputs (mini)DP and supply HDMI adapters with the card. but all of this is moot if you just want a single or two screen setup purely for gaming. But like I said, there are more uses for PCs than just gaming.
      If this card did have 4 outputs I'd be more inclined to buy it. Relatively modern GPU with a lot of the rendering and AI features I'm missing right now. Relatively low power (I work from home a lot and pushing all that heat into my tiny apartment gets really uncomfortable real fast in summer). And pretty affordable. With 4 outputs it would be perfect for my needs, with 3 slightly less so,

    • @croissant_.

After owning one I can say that mine has 4 outputs, but when using one of the DP ports and running anything that will utilise the GPU, it will cause severe artefacting and the display would be unusable. I can't say if that happened on one of the HDMI ports, but I know that one of them worked fine. So, no guarantee that the ports will even work 100%.
