Personally, I like these 'kinds' of videos. I seem to be perpetually broke and have little choice but to dabble in the obscurity of old school, low end hardware. Thank goodness I happen to actually enjoy doing so. Thank you.
With these slower cards, could you test whether these can output and run 1080p, 1440p and 4K video (RU-vid, Netflix, video files). Most people who buy these don't probably buy them for gaming, but it would be nice to know if they can even smoothly playback video from different sources.
It's probably intended to be used in pc, where you need lots of monitors so you could add these cards over and over again to get even more monitor plugged in
Because u don't wanna go to bed, and u're bored, when I'm awake at 3am I also buy unnecessary things, or games I won't play, it's a bad habit of just throwing your money away, but most of the time it's funny :D
RGinHD, for these older or lower performance cards, try benchmarking Battlefield 3 as it is still relevant and uses DirectX 9/10 and can be a challenge for some modern low end cards
I would go with a PCIe 1x riser card (often used for mining or some rendering applications). Then you can put whatever you want in it. If it doesn't fit in the case, bolt it to the top of your case, runs cooler that way too. Alternative is you can dremel a tiny cut on the right side of the motherboard 1x slot (HP does this sometimes), so you can fit any GPU you want. It doesn't damage anything, so I'm a little curious why that isn't more common.
Doesn't really make sense to pair anything stronger with that soldered on Intel ATom, VIA Eden or ARM chip. Also a x1 slot gives maximum 25W of power while full x16 graphics card are allowed to pull up to 66/75W
The mining riser cards allow Molex/Sata/6 pin for powering the GPU's PCIe connector. You can run high powered cards (I consider a Titan to be medium power draw), I think even a duel Fury (Fiji Pro), which is going to be 600+w basically stock would still be fine on a mining riser. So if you use one of those, you definitely don't need to worry about damaging the motherboard, just make sure your PSU is big enough and you're good to go.
There just aren't enough x1 slot GPUs around. Quite a few folks I know need these things for extra displays. I'm using an HD7350 for mine, and game on a GTX1060 in the same machine. It's disappointing how NVidia won't let me run a GT710 or similar alongside the 1060.
I wonder how this compares to the equivalent pcie x16 card running in a x1 slot. Or even the card running at full x16 bandwidth. The card is so anemic it probably does not use more than a x4 connection like shown in the video of two HD 4350 running in crossfire.
Would you add Path of Exhile in the playlist of games you try? Ive tried it on intel HD and the game actually scales to fit the hardware, albeit not exactly looking the best.
hot take: for cinematic story-based offline games, 20-40 FPS is fine. It's literally fine. You can play it, you can enjoy it, they're not meant to be balls to the wall difficult unless it's doom or something. It's fine.
Can you run thoose cared in SLI, why not , btw dont you have a core2quad which would of been a perfect matchfor the gpu or gpu's if you could run them in SLI
Sadly, I don't think it would be as slow as the GT 1030 cut version... I've benchmarked an RX 470 on pcie 1x riser card, and they actually did decent. Its application dependent though, they actually do really good at some rendering programs. (RX 470 purchased from a miner, I think the Celeron was probably holding back the Firestrike a little, but it was well over half the performance, so more than a regular 1030 non-cut).
512MB 8400GS, was my first card followed by 9400GT, GT 520, HD7770 and now GT 1030 😂♥️ bought my first one to play Lord of The Rings battle for middle earth and need for speed most wanted 🙌
Evening :-) I have an Intel Core 2 Quad running at 2.83ghz with an Artic pro 7 cooler, 8 gb RAM, an ATI Radeon 4850 gpu with 512 mb VRAM, a 700 Watt Artic PSU, 128 gb SSD, Win 10 Pro and all encased in an Antec 900 pro case. I have £35 to spend on a better graphics card, what do you recommend?
Hey all! Just have a quick question. I have Dell Optiplex 790 SFF and I want to upgrade its 240W PSU, which means I need to find the right case for it to fit a 400W PSU. Any suggestions for a case? Or if anything, what kind of a case should I look for?
aren't those proprietary motherboard designs? meaning you can't just move them to another case I know the front panel connectors are proprietary so it's not just a simple task to take the motherboard out and stick them in a standard matx/atx case
Its best to do so. This card for example is so old, it wouldn't work with modern drivers, so you would definitely need to. I usually use DDU to uninstall the old ones and install them from scratch. I've had weird bugs when I skipped that step, so I would say its probably a good idea when you swap cards.
