Today, I got the MSI RX 570 Armor 4GB OC Graphics Card which is an AMD Radeon RX 570 GPU. I’m using this GPU in my i7-3610QM Mini ITX PC, crunching BOINC Workunits, particularly, Collatz Conjecture workunits.
This GPU crunches them at 26 minutes per workunit. In comparison, my Nvidia Geforce 1060 3GB can crunch those workunits at just 24 minutes. This makes the RX570 a little slower in that project. It may be faster on other projects but I haven’t tested it.
Anyway, here you’ll see the GPU in its packaging and installed in the PC:
Now, let’s see what AMD has for us when the new Vega-based cards comes out. Will they beat Nvidia? We’ll have to wait and see.
The very old ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO that was installed in this PC was moved to my EXP Beast V8.0 adapter to use as an eGPU on my laptop. Kinda slow, but it still can crunch workunits.
I’ll wait to see the next AMD and maybe Nvidia cards if Nvidia has more cards to show to us, since Vega is coming, Nvidia maybe has something else for us. Then, I’ll replace the 2400 PRO with whatever new GPU comes out.
Tomorrow, I’ll show you a video I recorded setting up this card on this PC. I hope you liked the images!
