The old designs had terrible thermals and extremely loud 'revving" fans at idle. I can see why they did.

BTW Sparkle is just rebranded PowerColor for Intel.

I have the A770 16Gb Titan 3 fan model, it has zero turn fans at idle which is 50c before they fire up, maybe other cards had issues as mine has been fine on thermals so far, my 5700x is the one having issues with a game like this

I would like to know more about edge AI and what Intel has to offer or going on there, as I do use edge and seen Chat pop up and to talk.
in a thread about intel gpus?! go to the AI section or one of the edge/copilot threads...
 
i was hoping for a single slot card.
Hope that one of these pops up on Ebay. (turns out, there is one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/315371103504 )

Single Slot is usually disallowed by Intel, AMD or Nvidia.

As in, manufacturers AREN'T ALLOWED to make the cards with a single slot design unless they are "PRO" variants with a high price tag.

The only reason people want single-slot: Have as many cards as possible.
Only people who want as many cards as possible: People with money
People with money: Can afford the PRO versions.

Unfortunately that's how it goes.
 
I am going to try the 2 fan 100mm ROC OC A770 card. Hoping it can handle the heat. Will be in the sandwich style case with direct access to airflow. I really dislike the long 3 fan GPUs. Also lets hope Sparkle has the correct support for the low idle state. I know its hit or miss on the 750/770's

The 3-fan model fit in my Cooler Master box 400nr mated to AM4 / MSI B550m Mortar with Ryzen 5700x.

Card came in. Installed into my Lian-Li DAN A4-H20 case. Plenty of room. Its a fairly quiet card but fans can get loud at full tilt. I am running the card at +30, 25Mv increase and 200 watt power limit. Card stays in the low to mid 70's with fans spinning at a pretty slow 1500-1600 RPM. Boost clocks hold around 2500-2550MHZ. D4 at 1440p maxed(not using 4K/ High res assets) runs at 100 FPS during huge boss battles and 125-144 FPS during normal stuff using XeSS on Ultra quality. Cant even tell a difference in Image quality. Smooth as silk and no hitching or anything. The card destroys Doom Eternal.

I made the mistake of hooking both 12v PCIe 8 pin leads up when I first got my Titan A 770 16Gb, it made the fans act crazy and ramp to 100% doing that, so it needed to be daisy chained from just one lead with two 8 pin connectors and it ran normal after that and handled rpms as needed with the fans and zero turn idle was also working.

My RTX 3070 wants both leads without any daisy chain and where I got that idea to hook the A770 up the same way, also my ref XFX RX 5700 flashed XT bios wanted both 8 pin leads just like the RTX 3070 and all being done from same Corsair CX 650 M power supply, one of very reason I never had issues with my RX 5700 was the power leads being hooked up like that.

Little 'b' equals bit, by the way. So you're saying 16 gigabit, which equals 2 gigabytes (GB).

Last single slot card I ever owned was made by Evga 8800 GT SC.

I have a single slot 1050 ti. Looking to get the 1650 if the price ever comes down. They make an RX 6400 LP variant, too.

Good cards for those off lease SFF Dell's, and their like, with very limited GPU space options due to the placement of the x16 slot.

Or people who have an SFF with limited slots and want something else in say the 1x or 4x slot below the 16x slot, but those are rare.
