graphic card that you love most of all
Graphic card that you love most of all
as you can see im in love with the 960 2gb gaming from MSI
some 10 usd card for my server
could you explain your history with him?
Ahh yes, the card to spot retards just like the Nvidia 8600GT was
GTX 960 2 GB is still a fine card today so long as you don't want to play new big budget games on good settings.
My rtx 2080. Its the first card I bought with my own money.
My GPU history is: ?(it was running Morrowind in 2002)->8800gt->gtx 460->gtx 970->rtx 2080
Buy the best graphics card you can afford, or just stick with the one you have. They're all basically bullshit these days
This one,was my first bought with my own money and wasn't completely shit by the time I got it card, overclocked far beyond reasonable limits and the cooler was retarded in the best ways (completely overkill way too noisy if you let it go over 40% but never seen the card go over 65°C under load and on stock @ 20°C ambient it won't even go over 53°C)
>just like the Nvidia 8600GT was
What was wrong with the 8600GT/S?
>960 2GB
Why? I bought that gpu and dumped it as soon as the 10 series came out because of how anemic it was. Buying a 2GB card in 2015 was a mistake.
>This relatively modern graphics card is still fine unless you want to do what you use relatively modern graphics cards for
Upgraded from a gtx 870 to the rtx 2080 ti fe and I’m completely serious when i say that this is the most beautiful GPU I’ve ever seen.
I love my ASUS Strix ROG 1080ti OC.
Sorry forgot to post pic. Not like i really need to because everyone keeps talking about it on this board. But aesthestically its very clean and sexy
r9 295x2
HD4870
HD7970 Ghz edition
Op is a complete moron, my GTX 760 with 4GB actually outperforms the 960 and 1060 (3gb) in certain VRAM heavy games like nu-doom and such.
I cant imagine being this fucking young. I think the 3dfx voodoo rush was the first GPU i bought with my own money.
Unironically my Vega 56.
Undervolted, memory overclock, bios flashed for vega 64 power delivery, and it's beating a 1080ti in anything with rapid packed math, and matching/exceeding a stock 1080 in everything else.
GTX 480
the last nvidiot gpu I'll ever own because it was the last one that was firmware modifiable into a gimpy quado and thus compatible with ESXi + NVIDIA drivers without soldering.
I've been team red ever since on principle. And yes I know you can hide the fact you're in a vm from the GPU driver.
Who bought your 970? I can't imagine getting my parents to fund a gaming pc. Did you inherit it?
My brother bought it for me. He got a job at the college he was attending.
I'm in this boat currently. It's still holding up but the lack of vram is getting old fast. I'm basically waiting for cheaper 1080 ti's to become a thing. Or maybe switching to AMD for the opensource lulz.
8600GT was an extremely bad purchase because it only had 32 shaders and the 8800GT that had 96 shaders was about $100 more. 8800GT was over twice as fast. 8600GT got shit on during reviews for being the exact same speed as the 7600GT in games.
Didn't the 8600GT also have a problem with bad solder material? Were they the ones that were most commonly baked in an oven? (essentially reballing the shit solder) The mobile versions certainly had problems, Apple/Dell/HP all had to do a recall for their laptops.
That was mostly laptops. Nvidia didn't really have any desktop cards that needed the oven, not commonly anyway besides shit like GTX 480 fermifire
Makes sense, the 8000 series was still sane in terms of TDP in mid-high range cards, they wouldn't have gotten too hot. Still, I don't think the 8600 GT is too bad, at least by then the marketing was "somewhat" honest. Remember when NVIDIA and ATi marketed "XT" or "SE" versions of that cards that were actually slower than the base model? At least now it's clear if a gimped card was at least a lower end version (eg. GTX 1060 3GB vs 6GB), the XT or SE monikers implied a higher end version (this was before the era of using internet to make purchasing decisions for some people)
Cheap, and enough for my needs. Can play CSGO, at around 200fps, games like Witcher 3 run fine with out of the box settings. Pretty okay for 1080p video editing in Resolve.
they need to go back to putting cool pictures on graphics card shrouds like an angry orc or a sexy lady
Gainward GTX 660 Ti. Had this one from 2013 till 2018, worked flawlessly, Eventually sold it to some guy.
I still think not buying it at the time was the right choice, but its a beautiful card and performs very well
This badboy.
Only because it's fun size package. Plus being a cheap alternative with decent performance for the last year / two.
GTX 980 Ti. Last high end card with native CRT output.
5970. At this time Radeon was raping Nvidia and this monster was really powerful.
pic related, absolute unit of a GPU. If I didn't fall for the mITX + SFF meme (which I half regret), I'd still have it
Radeon HD6970 (with the massive accelero cooler) was my first gpu too bad my psu blew a load on it
I love the new FE coolers but I wish Nvidia wouldn't charge so much extra for it.
Based brother
Wait... XFX did NVidia cards?
ATI Radeon HD 4650. I got her from my friend Erich. That was my first taste of a real GPU. It felt good to be able to get decent framerates in TF2. She'll always have a special place in my heart, even though I've moved on to bigger and better things.
AMD APUs because it's a low powered non-clusterfuck setup that isn't designed for casual modern moviegaming shit.
My biggest regret.
What is the power consumption like?
A true boomer
S3 ViRGE
Lots of good memories. Hardware acceleration in Star Wars: Jedi Knight.. it was awesome.
Boomers are people born in the 40s and 50s, kid. Stop being stupid.
>Boomers are people born in the 40s and 50s, kid. Stop being stupid.
This is exactly what a boomer would say. Based and redpilled!
survived the oven trick 4 times, GTA V killed it
any recommendation for GPUs fast enough to play GC/Wii games at 60FPS?
My R7 260X has problem, cannot install drivers at all or freezes the system under Windows and Ubuntu
So you're just going to admit you're an idiot on the internet.
This is why I call your generation Dumbers, short for Dumbest Generationals.
Also to mid-60's
my 7970 could do 60fps on ps2 games, should be enough for wii7970 most based card in existence, everything up to the rx 5xx series was basically just a refresh with more shit slapped on. the gpu equivalent to intel's 14nm, once it dropped there was no more real innovation.
I have very fond memories with this baby.
>2G
However, pic related
I got an EVGA 960 SSC 4 GB with some ultra cheap PC I found at a swap meet and it's been doing great even today.
Nice katarn meme
i have a sapphire vega 64, for muh gaymin and a tesla k20m for muh cuda.
My current GTX 970. It's price of 350€ (in 2015) was acceptable and I can OC it via afterburner to 1500 MHz. It's my third GPU btw
GT 210 -> GTX 650 -> GTX 970 and yes I'm a zoomer
Felt like a Boss when i got this beauty back in the day.
...
How does one love a piece of dead technology that is outdated in a year or two anyways?
I have emotional attachment to people or places, not to a piece of silicon.
>S3 ViRGE
Behold, world's commercial Graphics Decelerator.
The 8800GT was the absolute based card. Used it for 8 years.
ok retard
I had the XFX OC edition. That thing idled at 60C
R9 290X Windforce. Can't believe that card's almost 6 years old now, still use it daily and it still feels new. Spent over $600 on it but well worth it.
This shit
Currently I'm in love with the 1060. Got mines for $150 and it's on par with a 980 while using less power/heat.
its just 11% more expensive than the cheapest version.
>the days when VRAM was expandable just like regular RAM
>rtx 2080. Its the first card I bought with my own money
Found the Zoomer
my cardfu
This o'l gal still kickin'.
red 1060 6 gb from MSI
first time i build my own pc and not just getting some prebuild box
Nvidia cards don't really feels timeless or nostalgic to me, AMD takes that.
MSI Radeon X1650XT
I'm a noob and am trying to install an RX580 to replace my old GTX560. I have plugged it into the motherboard and used the included cord (8 sockets with two 6 sockets) to plug the 8 socket into the card and the two 6 sockets into two other 6 sockets that were previously connected directly into the GTX 560. I get a blue light on my RX580 when I turn my computer on.
My issue is that when I plug an HDMI cord into the card and to my TV no signal is picked up.

Are your parents foreigners by any chance? Just guessing here
Long time ago. It's been a solid 10+ years since
Been thinking about picking up a G80 768MB one of these up and pairing it with a QX6700 for a legacy build.
Are your parents poorfags?
Fucking Riva TNT, 16MB of ram bitches, and pimping the PCI slot too
Got one of these just to run Quake2
They're dead.
Hes a big guy
I'll always have a soft spot for this one.
>7900 GS 256MB
First GPU I bought myself. Spent a summer doing odd jobs as a high school student to buy one of these and a PhysX card under a Core2 Duo E6400 in mid-2006.
Felt cheated when nVidia announces the leaps-and-bounds better 8800 a few months later.
>native crt output
literally who the fuck cares.
Anyone who wants smooth motion and zero display lag.
They probably just cared about him and his hobbies.
My dad had his own IT and desk furniture business yet I spent all my life before adulthood with integrated graphics and a dual core when I could've got me anything without having to pay taxes.
Some parents are more caring than others, just like people in general.
got the 2080ti version of that from work
why is it so fucking pointlessly long
>tfw actually bought a radeon vii
You should have lent him your asshole in return
>everyone here with their manlet size cards

Can't outperform my shitty 1050ti miniature edition with 4GB VRAM
