It's a good 1st gen card for the price for midrange and I would buy it over an Nvidia (because of media encoding) and certainly manages my moderate gaming needs but really shines on media and creative which is my primary workflow. It blew my mac pro m2 out of the water when paired w/ an Intel processor it's not even close. Of course its not as well packages as a mac studio...
As to passmark its pretty useless for maybe raw power, because the sw graphics drivers are always optimizing -- much more than Nvidia or AMD because they have been doing graphics forever.

From what I've read it's down to 45w at idle, which is still high but not horrendous. I'm still old school and turn my computer off when not in use though so 🤷🏻 ♂️
Are the passmark ratings not correct? When I compare this card to the rtx 3060 ti, it looks like this card would be a noticable downgrade at the same price point.

Each driver update they keep getting better. I wish my RTX card got faster with each update. Usually when nvidia launches a new update performance gets worse lol
Props to them. They'll get better over time. We need the competition to drive prices down.
I will admit I've never had a single glitch installing them, probably at least 80-90 times over 3 yrs.
