My 8 Series Collection is applauding for the presentation of their best family member :D TOP NOTCH VIDEO!

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

DanielC Thank you sir. Though, the best of the 8800 series is yet to come...stay tuned 🤘

@FantasyNero 4 года назад

Thank you so much for making for old hardwares comparisons Rip both 8800 GTX VS. HD 2900 XT

@deathshift 6 лет назад

Very nice work F2F, very impressed with your camera work. Thanks for the content.

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

+regorresiak Thanks man. I’m glad you liked it. I’m using an old Sony A35 with an old Minolta AF 50. Certainly not the greatest, but it works.

@TheGhjgjgjgjgjg 6 лет назад

I had a 8800 GTS 640mb edition back in 2007.I overclocked the hell out of it and it ran well for two years beforing dying.I did the old oven baked graphics card trick which surprisingly worked and I used it for another 7 months before it finally died for good.

@bluemarble4051 6 лет назад

classy video as always, congrats on hitting 1k subs.

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

Blue Marble Thanks Blue. I’m gonna take your advice on compiling the benchmarks. Thanks for your input.

@MrDevillive 6 лет назад

Congrats on 1K sub ! It's quite an accomplishment.

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

Penghan Yi Thank you for helping me get there

@PixelPipes 6 лет назад

I love the history! Can't believe I only just found this channel!

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

Now it’s time for me to watch yours 😉 you’ve got a lot of great content from what I see.

@PixelPipes 6 лет назад

F2F Tech Thank you! I'm sure you'll find some things to your liking!

@RawMotivating 6 лет назад

This is some good and interesting stuff you do man,keep it up! :)

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

Flameax Thank you sir!

@BudgetBuildsOfficial 6 лет назад

Although the 8800GTX was an amazing card the 2900XT paved the way for later Terascale cards that went on to win the hearts of many games. Loved the video man.

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

Budget-Builds Official Thank you and yes, I fully agree. I need to add some more 5000 series to my collection.

@hmbrz 6 лет назад

a cool (not literally) HD 5000 to have would be the rare 5870 2GB :)

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

hmbrz Yes Yes. I would love to find one.

@BillHayman 6 лет назад

hi again F2F, there's currently an Asus 5870 2GB Platinum for sale here, I'll send him a message and ask about its condition

@BillHayman 6 лет назад

The other 5970 was sold unfortunately, but more will pop up eventually

@abcdefg9613 6 лет назад

The 2xxx series was very advanced for the time, it featured a tesselation unit which unfortunately was not usable via directx because Ms did not implement it in dx10.

@gietie96 6 лет назад

Fantastic video, love how detailed they are. Makes me want to do a video on the performance of my GTX 570 2.5GB in SLI, especially now with DX12 support.

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

+gietie96 Thank you! I never knew they had a 2.5GB GTX 570? Would be a sweet video though.

@gietie96 6 лет назад

Thanks, I'll see what I can do :) The 2.5GB 570 was indeed quite an odball (just like the 3GB 580), but back in 2011 I felt the standard 1.28GB wasn't going to cut especially with the 6950/70 already having 2GB. I like to think it was an allright decision considering I haven't yet replaced them and games are definitely using more than 1.28GB now.

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

+gietie96 I’ve seen 3GB 580s, but those are some pretty sweet cards you got there. Certainly helps with the longevity.

@tuugestein96 6 лет назад

This one would definitely watch the video! If you get around to doing it, please reply to me here when you do so i don't miss it.

@TheVanillatech 6 лет назад

Dude please... DirectX12 hardware support doesn't exist even in Pascal, despite Maxwell being advertised as 12.1 compatible. We all know its software emulation only. Adding "DX12 support" to GTX570? XD Might as well add it to Geforce 2 also! XD Nvidia are the kings of false advertising.

@Oversoulse7en 6 лет назад

This channel is really awesome....You should consider change the name to be more succesful,because the content is really good....Subbed!

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

Juan Jose Don’t like the name...I mean, it’s gotta be better than BitWit... 😂

@CharcharoExplorer 6 лет назад

Great videos! All it needs is a listing of card MSRP at launch or just after launch and its perfect! Also STALKER

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

Alexander Yordanov Thanks man. I listed the launch price for each card in the specs portion of the video. Stalker = ❤️

@killiansklassics 6 лет назад

what a good video by someone with only 4k subs

@wakesake 2 года назад

love the 8800 gtx but the 2900xt wasnt that bad considering the price difference

@raresmacovei8382 2 года назад

Any chance of a redo of these X1000-TeraScale videos using the new 22.x.x NimeZ drivers?

@Face2FaceHardware 2 года назад

Unlikely that I’ll make a video but I’ll definitely check it out.

@POKEMANZZ3 Год назад

yea those old 8800 GTX's ran damn hot, ik with mine i repasted it some years later and even before that was always running it at 100% fan, yeah it was a bit loud, but it stopped being a damn space heater with max fan. recently repasted my old BFG 8800 GTX with thermal grizzy kryonaut, and she rarely goes above 60-65c now! crazy what temp reduction you can get with better pastes.

@jasonandrews7355 6 лет назад

I really didn't expect these cards to perform this well... Any way we could get an SLi 8800/Crossfire 2900 review?

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

Jason Andrews Maybe...I lack another working 8800 GTX. But who knows, I could grab another one in the future.

@jasonandrews7355 6 лет назад

F2F Tech I'll bet RGinHD has one ;P #collab

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

+Jason Andrews Yeah he wouldn’t waste his time with someone as small as me. There’s nothing in it for him. Might have something in the works with someone else though...

@evilqtip7098 6 лет назад

Impressive cards for their day ' I loved their look...Just outstanding.

@MicroMacroUniverse 6 лет назад

Loved this video, i love comparing old cards in newer engines. I remember Ati "fanboys" at the time crying and saying "it gets better with newer drivers" or "newer games will take advantage of the huge-mega-super shader core of 2900 XT" ah lol. It's 2017 and still the "old style" 8800 is superior. Loved both cards. Thanks for the good work, i would LOVE a video were you compare these cards with other newer and heavier games or tech demos!!!i know DX11 it's a problem here, but there are some very good tech demos that are new and run in dx 10 cards. Sorry for bad english. Thanks and bye!!!

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

+MicroMacroUniverse Thank you very much. Like you, I love both of the card and the history that surrounds them. What tech demos do you have in mind? I’ll check them out. English is great BTW 👍

@MicroMacroUniverse 6 лет назад

Thanks!mmmmm now i have in mind......this: www.techpowerup.com/download/unreal-engine-4-five-tech-demos/ and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C2BTDCTY8yw.html www.guru3d.com/files-details/agenda-circling-forth-gpu-particle-demo.html www.guru3d.com/files-details/catzilla-benchmark-download.html most are tech demos that shows gpu/shader power, but UE4 demos are like games and interactive.....i have to access another pc at home to investigate more :D thanks and bye!

@andrebachmann1475 6 лет назад

Thank you for this interesting video! Do you think you could add a current generation entry level card like the Geforce GT 1030 or the Radeon RX 550 to the graphs? Also, concerning the power draw figure: the X axis clearly didn't start at zero, that means the wattage difference looks exaggerated huge. Please don't do this. :)

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

+André Bachmann Yeah it’ll be the first to tell you I suck at Excel. I’ll look into it for the next video, as that certainly wasn’t my intention. Unfortunately, I don’t own either of those cards, but I plan on doing aDX9/10 graphs along with DX11 and up. I’ll probably at some point test newer cards with older games, but the bottleneck can be real with certain games.

@andrebachmann1475 6 лет назад

I'm looking forward to your next tests. :)

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

André Bachmann Thanks. I figured the excel issue out. It will be fixed next go round. Thanks for pointing it out. I appreciate it.

@HappyBeezerStudios 6 лет назад

Yeah, it looks like the OC'ed 2900 pulls double the power compared to the non-oc 8800 GTX.

@sgtjarhead99 9 месяцев назад

The 8800 GTX is the only video card I've ever owned that overheated and cooked itself (no overclocking). Good while it lasted though.

@evilqtip7098 6 лет назад

Great cards love them both but I really liked the 8800GTX for being a great build. Still I'd always go with ATI.. Love them better. Unfortunately I buy both can't help myself lol

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

Definitely two classics 👍

@HenrySomeone 6 лет назад

Ah yes, the card that paved the way to the throne for Nvidia. Even a whole year later, AMD's top dog couldn't touch it, despite much greater power draw… It almost feels familiar, lol

@itailevin 6 лет назад

You realy like 16xAF don't you?

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

I can’t lie +איתי לוין

@HappyBeezerStudios 6 лет назад

There are indeed newer drivers for the HD 2000 series, but only for Vista and 7, the Catalyst 13.9 to be precise.

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

👍 one of these days I’ll install Windows 7 on one of my SSDs. I want to test my 7950GX2 as well. Might give those 13.9’s a try.

@pragavirtual 6 лет назад

i guess if it work on vista/7 it will work on 10 too, i dont see why not.

@pi2z806 6 лет назад

where can you buy dirt 3 on?

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

+Nubpai Steam. They were giving it away for free on Humble bundle a month or so ago.

@pi2z806 6 лет назад

Got any idea where I can buy it now?

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

+Nubpai Type In “Dirt 3 Steam” in eBay. They have a bunch of cheap copies.

@pi2z806 6 лет назад

thanks bro

@UfukAytac 3 года назад

i though in that time in games even 3870 and 8800 GT is better than 2900xt but today's games 2900xt better but doenst matter either

@evilqtip7098 6 лет назад

these two cards were the greatest cards ever made in their day. But no match for the 6670 ASUS 1 Gig DDR5 out today next to nothing when playing old games.. This card I got just kicks ass.. in old games and new it works great.

@KhromTX 5 лет назад

considering the $200 difference, the HD 2900 XT was pretty good value

@likeclockwork6473 6 лет назад

HD 3870 made up for the HD 2900 XT. It released half a year later for nearly half the price and half the power draw while performing the same

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

Yeah the 3870 was a good follow-up, I’ll be testing that soon enough.

@ThyHacker 6 лет назад

The 8800GTX was released in 2006, not 2007

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

Yep. That’s true.

@maelstromexceptions5984 3 года назад

Please do 8800 GTX vs 2900 XTX.

@evilqtip7098 6 лет назад

Great Video

@OrjonZ 6 лет назад

Almost looks like 1080 Ti vs Vega 64.

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

+Orjon Zaganjori Almost 😄

@HappyBeezerStudios 6 лет назад

But Vega still uses GCN, and that architecture has scaled quite well in the past.

@bartdierickx5150 6 лет назад

Or maybe as the R9 290 vs 780gtx? Back then it was a close call in favor of the 780gtx. Now the R9 290 beats the 780ti. (vega 64 is acompetitor of 1080gtx, not the 1080ti, btw).

@doctorclaw8232 6 лет назад

I didn't know GDDR4 existed, I thought they skipped it

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

I’m pretty sure it was first seen on the x1950 ATI card.

@armeniancrusader301 5 лет назад

But 8800 gtx is ddr3 or gddr3 and the 2900 xr is gddr4 How the heck is the 8800 gtx faster with ddr3 or gddr3 ?

@Face2FaceHardware 5 лет назад

Memory interface is wasted on a card with only 16 ROPs.

@temsbab1565 6 лет назад

i have evga edition of 8800 gtx it's very capable

@evilqtip7098 6 лет назад

Dirt 2 and Dirt 3 were really good games for any Graphic card.

@ChristianArreguin 6 лет назад

I miss crysis

@abirneji 6 лет назад

vega vs pascal

@dougholmes1627 6 лет назад

I think it speaks volumes that a decade old GPU can actually still be pretty useful and make for a functional gaming rig.

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

+Doug Holmes I agree. Some of these numbers speak for themselves.

@XmegaPresident 6 лет назад

An eleven year old gpu still puts out more fps than a ps4 pro!!

@tskraj3190 5 лет назад

Hey I have to call bullshit on of these benchmarks. The 8800GTX could not run DX10 on Crysis or other titles when you enabled DX10. When you would try and run DX10 on the 8800GTX you would get a black screen. I had 3 8800 GTXs and I know this for a fact because I bought the 8800 GTX so I could run DX10 and I was pissed because Nvidia had falsely advertised support for DX10 on the 8000 series. The first Nvidia cards that did actually support DX10 were the GTX 200 Series.

@Face2FaceHardware 5 лет назад

This is the first DX10 GPU ever released. You were probably running Windows XP, hence why DX10 wasn’t working. Vista and up is required for DX10 to work. I stand by my work.

@evilqtip7098 6 лет назад

Never liked Nvidia back then they took to much power. drivers were a bit buggy in some new just out games. ATI had it together. Now only time I heard bad things about and switch from NVidia to ATI was if you didn't do a fresh install of windows and just switched the cards.. NVidia 's drivers would screw up any change unless you went to 3Dfx or MatroxG400Max then everything was fine. I had a Gforce 2 32meg Creative labs and that card had insane power ... But Matrox had was better graphics by far. I actually just used NVidia drivers and put the Matrox Back in for insane smooth gaming with Matrox's incredible graphics and quality. I just used 3DFX glide or Open GL from Nvidia when gaming with the MatroxG400Max. a lot of people didn't know this trick which was simple. Matrox's D3D drivers were good visuals but frames were terrible in some games not all But Quake and a few others.. So I jut installed open GL or Glide drivers from other companies and WOW doubles MatroxG400Max gaming power by far with all the eye candy. Sad nobody just said back then I think Matrox would have done way better in sales.

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

EVIL QTip Never had much experience with Matrox it Voodoo cards. My friends had them, but seems we always had NVIDIA or ATI cards. Sucks that I missed out.

@evilqtip7098 6 лет назад

Well, I was buying and buying everything because my friend owned the store so if I wanted to change anything I could easily. MatroxG400Max had such great quality back then and details from their Bump Mapping. The Voodoo2 cards way before I used those with the Matrox Mystix 4 meg card. Loved that mix. Vodoo5 was outstanding graphics for Colors in Quake arena and TombRaider just outstanding. But best Bump Mapping card at the time using other drivers than Matrox's d3D which was weak frame wise But open GL and glide drivers I used made MatroxG400Max fly and looks were uncompaired by any company Like Halflife 2 and Quake arena and TombRaider and many others.. Back then. Regret upgrading and selling my mobo But I went ATI afterwards they pleased me highly.

@HappyBeezerStudios 6 лет назад

Except that after that nvidia had the better drivers for quite a whole. Nowadays its more complicated.

@-x21- 6 лет назад

Testing in Windows 10 with modern drivers.......

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

Testing with the most modern drivers. Windows 10 doesn’t do any favors for these cards, so I’ll probably test again at some point in 7

@Pillokun 6 лет назад

what can I say, I have never been dissapoined by my nvidia cards, well expect for the stupid geforce 256 sdr and geforce 4mx.. why did I buy them? crappy shit cards but still, I had pretty much no probs with them compared to my ati cards, and yet I did buy ati from time to time just because :P

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

+Pillokun The good old MX cards. I had plenty of them because I was young and had no money. None of them performed very well. My 9500 Pro was the first GPU I was proud to own. Had an 8500 before that and it crapped out right after I sold it to a friend.

@SoXDYTB 6 лет назад

How is that possible ? Oh yea amd shitty driver support

@SilverforceX 6 лет назад

Interesting. If I recall right the 2900 XT was launched at $399, while the 8800 GTX was $649 to $699 right? The 2900 XT was basically AMD's small chip, mid-range in size, competing against NV's huge chip and it did lose overall, slower by ~25%. But perf/$ it was decent.

@hellowalkman4506 6 лет назад

Yak it was only slightly smaller

@martinhornung3681 6 лет назад

Price-wise it is the better card :) I dont get it why we are comparing mid to high...

@hmbrz 6 лет назад

yes but 6 months later, and the 8800GTS was probably better value than both.

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

Yak Yeah the price did vary, but it was $599-$649. The 2900 XT was one the biggest chips ATI ever produced. The card had some major design issues, but most were fixed when they released the 3870. It was pretty much the same performance with half the die size. ATI/AMD pretty took the small chip approach for quite some time after that. Like you said, at its price point the 2900 XT still performed well and I really like the history that surrounds it.

@Face2FaceHardware 6 лет назад

+hmbrz I have one... and might be picking up an Ultra this week... 😎
