AMD RX560 MXM 3.1 card is on sale for $180 USD

I'd kinda-sorta question the accuracy of some of that data. Is the RX 560M (also) the cut-down version of the chip, ie. not the 1024-shader one?

"Judging by the results of synthetic and gaming tests, Technical City recommends AMD Radeon RX 560 Mobile.

Be aware that Radeon RX 560 Mobile is a desktop card while Radeon Pro WX 4150 is a workstation one."

Suuuuure they are

Speaking of which - after seeing that Taobao card, my skepticicsm-spider-senses started tingling a bit. I then looked up some photos of desktop RX560 cards, and to my surprise / relief, the part number you can juuuuuuust make out on the die, actually DOES match between them, 215-0908004. And i quite hope that wasn't just my optimism making me see what i wanted to...

 

I got a 240W brick with a E-Port dock I bought on eBay (for the cost of a new 180W adapter from Dell). Seemed like a decent deal to me.

 

In my opinion, the best Dell adapter for m4600, 4700, m4800 is PA-4E. It has blue LED light.

I got mine for $19.. I was lucky.
I'm not sure if this can run i7 Quadcore plus RX 560 easily.

 

Since i live on the "other side of the pond", prices are a bit different over here. I did browse through the available offerings over here, and an E-Port dock w/ USB3 and the 240W brick is the equivalent about 80$ or so (or maybe a smidge more, including shipping).

That being said, "straight from the manufacturer" is a sure way to make your wallet cry - just look at RAM prices...

Can't speak for the earlier models, but at least in the case of the M4800, since BIOS A07 i believe, it'll throttle like a mothertrucker with anything less than the 180W brick these come with as stock. These Dell bricks have a small "one-wire" ROM chip in the charger, with which the BIOS ID's the type (ie. power) of charger it is, through the center pin of the power connector.

There's a thread over on Spiceworks, i think, where this was found and discussed. Not sure whether Throttlestop can do anything about that though, i'm still on A06.

 

Actually $180 for RX560 MXM card is a very reasonable price.
RX560 desktop version costs only $129 USD.

So HP and Dell guys are just putting their names on MXM version of these cards and asking four times the normal price.

 

Curious to see if there will be a larger MXM version of the newer cards AKA RX 580M . Wondering how the RX560M would compare to a GTX 780m

 

You mean like these?
