I was gonna post this in GPU section of the forum but figured it'd be more suited here since it's about a SFF build.
I have specific requirements for a GPU, I'm looking for a GPU that's
- ideally a single slot + low profile, but dual slot normal height ITX card no longer than 150mm is acceptable
- not Nvidia, so Intel/AMD only
- preferably has better performance than a RX 6400/3050/A380
- doesn't cost more than 150-200
- has more than 8GB of VRAM, 6GB is kinda acceptable but it's the absolute minimum
- PCIe power only
But from what I can find, the only thing that meets all these requirements is something like a Nvidia RTX A1000 but it's a Nvidia GPU and doesn't meet the price range.
Last year I had a Sparkle ELF A380, it was acceptable, but it had a major issue of fan control not working properly, it'd stop and start up the fan few times a minute and no amount of messing about with fan control solved this, so I ended up returning it, I feel like at this point getting the A380 but connect the fan to the motherboard instead for fan control that actually works seems like the best option.
