Hello and Welcome to another Budget Builds Episode where today we're taking a look at the GTX480 (I know again) just this time it's not so much about the bechmarks, although there are plenty of them included, no this time i wanted to try and explain why Fermi was considered a bit of a disaster, late to the party, eating through power, among architectural issues. So join me as i try and condense that down to a small history lesson on how this card became a bit of a joke.

@@PongWithBreakout A standard 15 amp breaker operating at the single device safety limit of 80% yields 1440 watts. It seems like 4 of these plus the rest of the system could go right up to the line and maybe a bit over. A 20 amp breaker would be plenty. That limit is 1920 watts, or effectively a 2000 watt power supply. That said, I am unaware of power supplies that output greater than 1600 watts on 120 volts, even if the branding indicates higher.

I had one of these and loved it. I never thought that it got too hot. But then again, I had my CPU using a liquid cooling system that had a radiator on the outside of the case. So the only thing in the case generating a noticeable amount of heat was the GTX 480. It never overheated though and I never had any issues with thermal throttling. I also had a 600 watt PSU at the time so the power drawl was nothing that caused any problems with the rest of the system. My brother tried running it on his system with a 350watt PSU and that ended badly

The GTX 460 is the only Fermi GPU I'd consider for a late 2000s retro build. 160 watts wasn't low but for GTX 285 comparable performance at around $200 it was probably the only redeemable Nvidia GPU from 2010. Sure the GTX 480 was a lot faster but the rarity and power hungry nature of it are serious trade offs. The GTX 580 was more readily available but was just as power hungry and very expensive. The GTX 560 TI was basically the 2011 version of the same GPU updated and clocked a lot higher at similar prices.

Little known fact about this cards, having owned 3 of them at the time they were new, most of the power issues with them vanished if you put them sub ambient temps, and I am not talking dry ice or anything, just a chiller. The power savings doing so were so good, that measuring total system power at the wall, I saved power running the chiller than I did just running the cards stock. From what I heard at the time from the enthusiast community, was that the internal interconnects of the chip were very poorly designed, and that is where most of the excess heat came from.

Two years ago, when I was building my Windows XP retro PC, I was very close to buying a GTX 480. What stopped me was the amount of heat it generates and the power consumption. Instead, I got an AMD Radeon HD 5970, but a month later, I replaced it with a EVGA Geforce GTX 560 Ti 448. The 560 Ti is a pretty good card and it works fine for me, under Windows XP. That 480 would not have been a good combination for my AMD FX 4300. My FX 4300 doesn't run too hot, but it is a bit of a heat generator.

@jedrula77 4 года назад

When the old 480 fermi card is repaired (reflov or reball), IHS delid should be made and the thermally conductive material replaced, because the old paste is fossilized a long time and does not conduct heat well. I gave liquid metal and sealed all the capacitors on the GPU with nail polish and re-applied the IHS. Even after a high OC, the card keeps the temperature below 90 degrees Celsius and before that it was 105 and the card slowed down the GPU clock. Oh, and the TDP of this card is not 250W but 300-380 (after OC) W in Furmark !!!

At some point I decided I was going to do a bonkers rebuild (figured it was the last time I was going to build my on PC for a long time and had the spare money to go bonkers) and ended up going with a 7990, and I didn't really feel like I got that much of a performance bump from it. I almost certainly did, but I think it came in combination of at a time when I was winding down on computer gaming, and because it was a Crossfire Card, I suspect that the SLI micro-stutters really did it in.

My gtx 570 also reached regulary 97°C and once 100°C :D but .. that was mainly my fault back then. I didnt clean the PC for 2 years as i tought im not alowed to open it for 2 years. Good ol Days. Actually 570 was great but because NVIDIA puts not enough VRAM in their cards i ha to replace it for that reason. Could run Fallout 4 fine but after reaching 1.2gb VRAM it stuttered.

@sw4gr1d Huh. Going to have to grab my clamp meter and Kill-a-Watt to test that. I do know putting an R290x in there with it pushed over 650w at the wall under torture testing.

FX 8150 with 3 GTX 480s in sli back in the day. With triple screens Was my old rig. Worked pretty well. Had them over clocked to 850mhz and used to run them at around 98deg C Still have them in mates systems Still all work to this day

@jeposton 4 года назад

Not surprised at all. VRAM is what is holding it back on newer titles. The thermal issue was not the biggest issue. I suspect the GTX980 will suffer a similar fate of not enough VRAM.

Im quite confused and surprised how well the graphics card is being that old, yet some of these games ran worse on my PC still with a card from 2017... It might be some kind of inner bottleneck from the CPU or whatnot, but its just crazy to see the kind of performance a hated card can do today.

@SmoothiesGaming 4 года назад

Is that Simcity music playing in the background??? Damn, you are making me want to reinstall that game again...

@valiantdiesel1332 4 года назад

I used to run these in SLI! It's selling point was that I didn't ever need to reheat anything because it would keep my room unbearably toasty. I'm almost sure it's unfair to run shaders on Minecraft as a benchmark because they're often really poorly optimised and this card can play vanilla so well. Nevertheless, awesome video, love the systematic style of it all. I for one am glad to be rid of my thermi bastards now!

There is so many cards I hardly know about, I mean I do recall the meme somewhat but I went straight from a 9800 GTX to a GTX 980

@eliadbu 4 года назад

People tend to forget that while the 400 series had thermal issues, the 500 series that still was based on Fermi solved most of the issues. I had 2 570 in SLI (Back then SLI was well supported) and they were a graphical powerhouse and not thermally constrained.

GTX480 was _awesome_. You could modify it into a Quadro 6000 with just changing a couple of bits in the device ID strap. That got you double the memory bandwidth and enabled it to work with unmodified drivers in virtual machines, long before hypervisors received options to hide their presence from Nvidia drivers.

I had Fermi 2 GTX 580, but Gainward cooler worked like "semi reference" and I had 82-84°C during game (sometimes 88 eg. in menu).

@devil5051000 2 года назад

Had two of them in SLI running watercooled. Temperatures were no issue with watercooling (have never seen more then 75°). Power consumption while gaming was around 700 Watts for the whole system. ^^ Main problem of such old cards is (missing driver support aside) the lack of memory. 1.5 Gigs is simply not enough in the 2020s.

I wonder if you redid its thermal paste I wonder if it could get cooler.

@shotgunmasterQL 4 года назад

Not the same card or even architecture, but I was still sporting a prebuilt PC with a GTX 560Ti and a blower fan a while ago, which ran so steamy, 80 c in the best possible scenario with a new thermal paste, but before that during hot summers 98 c was the peak I was regularly hitting without any obvious thermal throttling. I heard 110 was supposed to be the "breaking point" of those cards. Aside from the blower, another reason why it might have ran so hot, was because it was a refurbish/binned GTX 570 taken and "fixed" by Saphire and clocked to perform similarly to a GTX 560. It died earlier this year, suddenly started blanking to a black picture, monitor was giving a "out of range" warning when I tried to play some MP4 file. Rebooted PC and it bluescreened on me, until I just uninstalled the drivers. If I try to reinstall them, same thing happens, so I assume its toast. Rip, my steamy fake GTX 560 Ti

@tw1st3d35 4 года назад

Hey, can you test an RX480 8GB card with these exact games? I have one and I think there might be something wrong with it since my FPS is lower that this GTX480‘s on same settings. CPU is an i7 2600 and 16GB RAM.
