tldw: 19% slower at 1080p, 13% slower at 1440p vs 4060. cheapest 4060 is $418 zotac solo model from techdeals, while a750 is $349, which makes the latter just 17% cheaper.
but i think intel is still very young in gpu/drivers game.... so there are space for much improvements...

Could you share with us what you bought and what do you mean by self service ?

2 of my friends bought Zotac GPU and one of them had artifacts on his 4070ti. He ship back to Ideal Tech using JNT and ship it back from them at his costs. To and fro not more than $25. Total duration is about 10 days as they replace one for him.


Not sure if Singapore's Ideal Tech can do RMA though. If able to then that's awesome. He says he got it 10% lower price than the cheapest price he found on carousell so he just pick one up from a reseller in Malaysia when he was on work trip in KL area

The performance fluctuates quite a bit. But where it runs well, it can be quite a bit faster than the RX 6600. My A770 works well in the games that I play. And so far so good when it comes to driver stability.

I think the demand is very low because of the poor reports at launch. It took me sometime to decide to pick one up to try. And try I did and was pleasantly surprised. Again, the driver is not as matured as AMD or Nvidia, so performance in some games can still be better. And on the topic of power consumption, some reviews out there pointed to high power draw. In my testing, I think the idle power consumption can be lower because its around 40W at idle. Fortunately for me, I usually launch a game when I switch on my main PC, and very little idle time. In games, I only really ran Horizon Zero Dawn @ 4K with FSR Quality, and it was drawing about 160W. So it is not that bad. In indie titles like Hades 1 and 2, the GPU clockspeed always sticks to 1Ghz, and as a result, the power draw is quite low. Need to check again the actual numbers but I think I see something like 60 to 70W.

the boss there mentioned that no matter how low they set the price, still very hard to move stock. i guess nvidia mindshare very strong here in sg.

i heard that the software reported power consumption is usually quite inaccurate. even the lowest bin a580 easily pulls 200w+ in actual measurements despite reporting 150-160w.
