I suspect it would nearly be up to the job of RDworks ;)

Did some benchmark tests of both the RX580 and the 5700XT. There is virtually zero to be gained for general productivity work. Really heavy rendering/encoding and games are about the only places there is a gain. It about doubled the 1440P frame rates as an idea.

Yes It's amazing the stuff that ends up inside electronic gear,

I have opened a control panel in a feed plant to find the cause of the trouble was a deceased rat which had chewed through the cables.
(they like PVC insulation apparently)

And I had to clean a VCR whose owners young daughter had decided to feed on Chocolate bars. The soft gooey ones it made a terrific mess but I got it going again

Best Regards Mark

My Dad was an Electrician and was trying to look for a damaged cable in a Roof as the Light in this room was going from Bright then Dimming over time. Power off and feeling along the wire his hand hit a soft smelly luke warm Rat who had chewed the cable down to the copper electrocuting itself in the process. The warming of the body was causing the light to dim :shock:

Back to PC's just because. Only a few short months ago I made a Laser cut Mini ITX case from Laser cut Ply viewtopic.php?f=114&t=4247&p=23333&hilit=mitx#p23333 a while after that I brought a short single fan RX 560 GPU with thoughts of designing and making another case to house the then larger system.

But I spotted this Coolermaster 110 Elite case on special last week and thought why not just do it easy this time as I had all the hardware and it would just be PNP fairly much and save the time and muck around with rolling my own.

Take it out of the box and look at the case more closely and go Mmmmm there is a heap of room in here wonder if the RX 580 I should have already sold after replacing it with a 5700XT in my main box and see if it can be squeezed in - NOPE to long. But with some help from the Nibbler after some careful measuring TWICE. Fits like it was made for it with millimeters to spare. The case is mesh on the sides and front so plenty of easy airflow.

Anyone want to buy a brand new in box RX560 :roll:
