But you are turning your 4000 series card to a 3000 series card...Because you need/want performance for what you're doing/playing but also want a cooler & quieter card while doing it?

If you under volt your 3000 card it becomes a 2000 cardBut you are turning your 4000 series card to a 3000 series card...
Well if you are upgrading from a 3000 then it's useless especially if you are going to underclockI did say for 90% of the original performance, I'd be happy if it means using 60% of the power.
But now it seems the 3000 was only 10% ahead of the 2000 series and the 4000 series will only be 10% ahead of the 3000 series...
Do you mean in terms of power requirements?But now it seems the 3000 was only 10% ahead of the 2000 series and the 4000 series will only be 10% ahead of the 3000 series...

I did read some previous posts and I had trouble following the context, hence why I asked to clarify.Read the conversation, not just the one post.

jonneymendoza you really do write some rubbish... go and do some research on undervolting.Why bother getting a 4000 if you are just going to undervolt it..
Undervolting doesn't mean you have to lose performanceBut you are turning your 4000 series card to a 3000 series card...
Heat also degrades parts quicker.there are all manner of problems with increasing power:
- you have to pay for the electricity
- you generate more heat, which has to go somewhere
- you probably need better cooling for your case
- you might need cooling for your room
- more cooling for a room means more power again and possibly the expense of the room cooling solution
- there are hard limits to domestic wiring particularly in the US and places which use 110v
- if the air around your case warms up that means less effective cooling for all components
- transient power draw issue basically makes you have to evaluate any sub 1000W PSU, the upgrade to a good quality PSU could easily be £250 or more
having a higher demand for power ok if its manageable, but you should care particularly if we are talking about 500W or more
