Default Re: GPU recommendations for PT stability

Just for reference, I do think the card is definitely tired as even YouTube videos and such result in some weird lag or spikes here or there. I have the most stable Nvidia drivers at all times (it's not like a recent update broke anything) and the rest of the machine works flawlessly when I'm not dealing with anything that could potentially put any level of strain on the GPU.


As mentioned, I got this card for free almost four years ago because my friend had been using it heavily for video work and also for gaming. He specifically told me that it was probably pretty tired, which is he gave it to me for free.



Will try some further optimization but thanks for the recommendation on the 10 series. I know those were all the rage back in 2018, 2019
