Glad to see Fallout 4 make its way back to the benchmarks, this game regardless of the bugs, is probably one of my favorite games. Somehow i managed to play it more than any other and its one i never get tired of.
I have a Gigabyte GT 740 2GB OC GDDR5 version, with a Core i5-10400F, and a 8GB DDR4 ram again with a ssd. On paper the GDDR5 version looks better than the GDDR3, but in reality you didn’t see this performance. In a professional way, you will, I mean for work. But please, don’t buy this card, only if you use to connect a TV to watch films and more. At this price you can buy now in the used market a GTX 950-1050 cards and below. I have enough experience with this card, and I hate it!
Never buy anything below a 50 series really. And even 50 series cards usually suck. 60 series is bare minimum to have an enjoyable gaming experience imo. Like a 1060,2060,3060. Etc.
I am glad you included Fallout 4 I end up going back to it several times every year and i have a blast every time I want to see how well it runs on modern hardware but so many reviewers just bemchmark the newes of the new 3A games each year... a HUGE amount of pc gamers also plays games that , while not old, are a few years old , and still play them and wanna keep playing them even after an upgrade i know this video is of an older and very bad card but i would love to see fallout 4 stay in your future videos
Actually your GT 730 could very well just be a more efficient version of this card. No joke, 730 is either GF108 (absolutely terrible, literally rebranded gt 440) or GK208B which is a die shrunk GK107 (GTX 650M, GT 740)
I built a pc for less than $100, it has i5 4440s, 8gb ram, and an evga gt740 sc 4gb gddr5. It runs surprisingly well! Gta5, far cry 3,counter strike, borderlands, etc. All solid performance at medium/900p. My main rig vastly superior 3700x/1080ti, but I still think that gt740 is a great little card!
I love the classic RGinHD content, some absurdly bad graphics card being given a chance to show what it can still do. This is way more interesting to me than brand new hardware bc i could for example afford a gt 740 but not a rtx 3090
Just for the fact that Cyberpunk actually opens and plays on this GT-740 regardless of the 360p video quality, just goes to show how awesome this card was for it's time up til now in 2021. I owned this model GPU and can honestly say for it's time back then when I owned one, it was awesome.
To be honest, it's like back in the days when you tried to run Doom on semi-modern 386 or 486SX computers. I remember playing it it in low-res mode 160x200 at around 15 fps with a window size of a postage stamp. ;) (so really 80x100px or something like that), I think it's incredible that an old lackluster DDR3 card like this CAN actually run the latest games. That in itself is impressive.
Not to flex on you but I've played heavy titels such as payday2 with the almighty gt730 and at a whopping 3 fps, it is definitely not impressive. I mean even if you compare thr fact that it barely runs 2005 games at a playable fps I'd still say its just a horrendous card not impressive. Sure this one is a bit better but still bad.
How dare people want playable framerates, no one cares that your PC is subpar, no one is going to buy low end hardware despite being able to afford much more powerful hardware just so you won't feel bad about your sh|tty gaming experience, you're complaining too, you're just complaining about the opposite of what you're complaining about people complaining about. Also "Can" isn't an acronym
The first laptop from my brother had a GT 740M. It was a version with 2GB DDR3 but the mobile one just had a 64bit memory interface instead of a 128bit, so it was even slower than this one but for the time we could play every game we wanted, even when we had to turn things down to low, it would run it. Man, good old memorys...
I had a MSI GTX 750 (paired with i5-4440 back in the day) in 2014 that looked the same as 740. Upgraded to GTX 1060 in 2016 and RTX 2070 Super in 2019. GTX 750 was my first "gaming" gpu and I was so happy with it.
Fallout 4 is a good benchmark game because it used to be said that if you can run Fallout 4, you can also run GTA 5, but Fallout didn't get harder to run over time like GTA did, and it is a solid middle ground, not too easy to run, not too hard to run.
I've been using a HD 5750 1GB for the last few days, and outside of Vermintide II (which hates Radeon GPU's) it's been doing alright. Also have an R9 390 and that's still playing games at 1440p!! Madness.
I sold a i5 9400F ($140) with 16 GB of DDR4 ($50) and my old EVGA GTX 760 that was sitting in my closet with the rest of the PC built with extra parts laying around for $600 dollars on Craigslist today. If you can pair up a older graphics card with a modern CPU right now you can make some good money due to graphics cards being so rare at the monent.
I loved this card. I bought the EVGA 1GB GDDR5 FTW Edition back in early '15 to replace my dead XFX 8800GT 512MB ADE, but it lasted me only a year before dying, probably due to static when cleaning it outside the case, or residual damage after having to modify the plastic cover to fit my poorly-structured Acer motherboard. I didn't play anything newer than Shift 2 Unleashed, so all my usual titles ran maxed out without issue.
love the content recently man been on fire, I ordered one of the Bucket Hats and it came on NYE and I have been wearing it ever since - my family may think I look like pillock but i love it 😊
i Had this in my fx 4350 build , put it together for about 250$ back in the day with sales and open box sales. Still own it to this day and mine was the ddr3. It sucked! GTA V was like 35fps low settings but with horrible stutters.
I almost fall victim to this card last year when I tried to upgrade my budget PC. Then a lower priced GTX 660 appeared on the list, totally saved my money from burning for no performance increase that time
for the ddr3 version to be able to play gta v at 1080p is quite impressive actually specially if you turn on the frame cap... and people who uses that card probably uses 18.5" monitors anyway so they're limited to 1366x768.
I have the mobile version of this card on my old laptop it ran most games at 30 fps I didn't replace the thermal paste on it for 7 years I have now upgraded and built my own gaming pc but I accidently went overbudget and built a liquid cooled i9 9900k system sadly I have to run the integrated uhd630 graphics adapter in my I9 9900K but I am still happy since the only games I play are titles like minecraft and portal
Looks across my room. . . There it is.... there it has been. The gt740 that more miles from the fan spinning then my car will ever reach. 2014-2020 where the years of constant usage 24/7. I stopped using it in the very beginning of 2021 within like 1 day. Hehe I built a new computer that day. :-)
I remember playing Dota 2 back then with this card it plays on 30fps on low-med settings which is okay for me back then lol so many memories L4D2 works okay too on 30fps target
When i had to choose my First Laptop i choose the Gt750m with 4 GB Ddr3 Vram over the 2 GB Ddr5 Model, because i thought the more the better... Glad i have a 2080 ti now
I have the GDDR5 730 with 1GB of VRAM. I use it on a spare PC for old games. I was using XP but I switch to 7 because everything worked on 7 anyway, and the nvidia driver works better on that. I mean for stuff up to like Skyrim it's fine but I play much older stuff than that on it. Like Fallout 1 and stuff. Interesting to see the 740 with DDR3.
I was running a gtx 745 4gb ddr3 card for years. Ddr3 cards even today are not to bad. Just need to adjust settings. Even got cyberpunk at 720p medium with half Res scale getting over 30fps which I was supprised
I think the gddr5 is going to perform reasonably better. It reminds me of the gtx 1660 versus the 1660 super case not so long ago. The aforementioned was gddr5 and it had some nice performance but was lacking something. The latter is exactly the same as a 1660 but with gddr6 memory, which increased the memory bandwidth a lot, increasing the performance to the point of a 1660 ti which is the best you can get before entering rtx. Just that little difference adds between 10 and 15 fps at least.
Yeah. I did have lots of memories with that GPU on my asus laptop. In 2020, it struggles with modern titles even at lowest settings. Glad I had the 25W variant tho, the 15W variant is even much slower.

I'm fairly new to your channel, do you have links to other socials somewhere?
I have used 3 years ago a GT640 2GB GDDR5 model, GV-N640D5-2GI (from gigabyte) and it was damn good the price I've got it. I was playing GTA 5 with 900p and a mix of normal and high settings and my FPS were around 50-60, and on fallout 4 again 900p with a mix of low-medium and I was getting 30-50 (diamond city was the place where it was dropping to 30's).
Would be interesting to review the GTX 745 which is a cut down GTX 750 with DDR3 and was an OEM only GPU found in multiple prebuilts including gaming PCs
@@jasjotbhasin36 oh you right! I thought the uhd 630 would have the capability to do 1080p 30 because of dual channel. Might not be strong enough then...
just get a cheap used 3400g and 2*8gb 3200mhz ram a cheap case 250gb ssd and 1/2 tb hdd and used motherboard or a cheap one and have a decent 720p gaming pc for cheap
holy crap I USED TO HAVE THIS. Mine had 1GB GDDR5. I got it from a PC that was in the trash, yeah lol I sometimes sneak into nice place that is sort of like a old pc junkyard. people take their old PCs there and they are destroyed. breaks my heart so I sneak in from time to time and rescue some of them.
What you should do is get some really old high end graphics cards. Like from the GeForce 6000-9000 series cards but only the top end variants. Compare some of those high end cards to very low end cards from now and yesteryear. 710,410,210, and amd offerings. You can even test sli on the cards that support it and compare it to crossfire on budget amd offerings. I remember seeing a review a while back benchmarking a 512mb high end gpu that was able to destroy a 2gb offering from years later. Even on slightly newer games as long as it didn’t run into vram issues. Here’s another idea, how much crossfire or sli power using older gpus does it take to beat a 3060ti. Stick to only games that support multi gpu, specifically ones that scale across 3-4 gpus. It would be interesting to see if 4x580s or dual 6gb Titans could beat it. Can dual 980ti? It would make for some awesome content. Especially if you can find deals on those cards or team up with someone who already has samples available.
I can't remember if it was DDR 3 or G DDR5 But I remember being amazed at GTA5 running at 1333 by 768 on My old GT640 At almost 50 frames per 2nd When it launched
I bought a 4gb variant of this card for a pc that I am now using as my htpc about 8 years ago not knowing at the time that my hp motherboard has a secure boot issue that prevents it from working with most gpus other than what it came with. Ended up putting it in a build with a phenom ii x4 910 that I sold to a coworker that actually could handle older games pretty well. Think I paid about $50 for it when I bought it.
I have "the better" GT 640 by Galaxy I use in an older LGA 775 machine, has the same amount of CUDA Cores as the GTX 650, but it only has 1 GB of DDR3 memory. It's OK for most older stuff, I played Bioshock, Fallout 3, and Oblivion on it, etc. I never even tried to play GTAV on it.

@@arjaydee6379 I have been using it from 2016 till to day and will probably be using for the next 5 years as well.
Installing Asus GPU Tweak 2 and setting the temperature target to 85 some how unlocked the tdp of mine. consumes around 27 to 30 watts.
OCed to 1310MHz and 1600Mhz on the memory.
i have a cooling fan and placed thermal pads between the heatsink and laptop back panel for improved cooling
cyberpunk 2077 720p 50 percent resolution scale with meduim settings is possible at 40 to 50 fps
My friend has a 730 with DDR3. I felt so bad for him that I bought him a 960 for Christmas
Happy new year, RGinHD! 🎇
And you :)
The gtx 750ti and r7 360 still going strong in 2020 imo
I bought a coffee mug from your merch, looking forward to getting it! I'm a new father that no longer has the funds to buy the newest and best so I have been interested in content like yours. I just like to dabble with tech regardless if it's new or old so your content is exactly what I like. Happy New Year to you and your family! I'm fairly new to your channel, do you have links to other socials somewhere?
940m was also DDR3 but was laptop only. I believe technically it's the last DDR3 GPU released by Nvidia.
Maybe could soon do a video about how the GTX 1080 graphics card holds up in 2021. Almost 5 years old, thats still what I use in my main gaming PC.
I have used 3 years ago a GT640 2GB GDDR5 model, GV-N640D5-2GI (from gigabyte) and it was damn good the price I've got it. I was playing GTA 5 with 900p and a mix of normal and high settings and my FPS were around 50-60, and on fallout 4 again 900p with a mix of low-medium and I was getting 30-50 (diamond city was the place where it was dropping to 30's).
Would be interesting to review the GTX 745 which is a cut down GTX 750 with DDR3 and was an OEM only GPU found in multiple prebuilts including gaming PCs
Just be glad its not 64bit like the DDR4 version of the GT 1030
Basically, the GT 740 DDR3 is like an Intel UHD 630 lol
No this card performs like vega 3 bcz uhd 630 cannot run gta 5 on 1080p
@@jasjotbhasin36 oh you right! I thought the uhd 630 would have the capability to do 1080p 30 because of dual channel. Might not be strong enough then...
@@jasjotbhasin36 Actually vega 3 gets higher fps by like 10-20% D:
just get a cheap used 3400g and 2*8gb 3200mhz ram a cheap case 250gb ssd and 1/2 tb hdd and used motherboard or a cheap one and have a decent 720p gaming pc for cheap
@@baryonith ok
I remember a friend of mine having a GT 740 4GB (DDR3) back then xD
I had a 4GB GDDR5 version that I put in a pc for a friend. You should take a look at the ddr4 version of the GT 1030
That cyberpunk looks like GTA VC with cyberpun mod.
I am currently using an oem gtx 745. Its a pretty good gpu for what it is. Upgrading to an rx 560 this week!
holy crap I USED TO HAVE THIS. Mine had 1GB GDDR5. I got it from a PC that was in the trash, yeah lol I sometimes sneak into nice place that is sort of like a old pc junkyard. people take their old PCs there and they are destroyed. breaks my heart so I sneak in from time to time and rescue some of them.
I think the irony of putting HD in your username while testing video cards that can barely run games in HD is pretty funny.
Haha yeah RandomGamingin360p might be better
What you should do is get some really old high end graphics cards. Like from the GeForce 6000-9000 series cards but only the top end variants. Compare some of those high end cards to very low end cards from now and yesteryear. 710,410,210, and amd offerings. You can even test sli on the cards that support it and compare it to crossfire on budget amd offerings. I remember seeing a review a while back benchmarking a 512mb high end gpu that was able to destroy a 2gb offering from years later. Even on slightly newer games as long as it didn’t run into vram issues.
Here’s another idea, how much crossfire or sli power using older gpus does it take to beat a 3060ti. Stick to only games that support multi gpu, specifically ones that scale across 3-4 gpus. It would be interesting to see if 4x580s or dual 6gb Titans could beat it. Can dual 980ti? It would make for some awesome content. Especially if you can find deals on those cards or team up with someone who already has samples available.
man this is old now after hearing ddr5 is coming out
I love your videos man
I can't remember if it was DDR 3 or G DDR5 But I remember being amazed at GTA5 running at 1333 by 768 on My old GT640 At almost 50 frames per 2nd When it launched
let's hope that the 3050 and 3050Ti will bring joy to budget gamers.
I have laptop use gtx 740m. Very useful gaming laptop until 2016.
The GDDR5 is exactly the GTX 650 which can sometimes be cheaper.
I wish they released a 40 variant of the 30, 20 adn 10 series. Seems like a good lil spot for some who play MOBAS.
I have a EVGA GT740 4GB. It ran GTA 5 45-60 fps and Forza 7 60+.
I bought a 4gb variant of this card for a pc that I am now using as my htpc about 8 years ago not knowing at the time that my hp motherboard has a secure boot issue that prevents it from working with most gpus other than what it came with. Ended up putting it in a build with a phenom ii x4 910 that I sold to a coworker that actually could handle older games pretty well. Think I paid about $50 for it when I bought it.
I had a GDDR5 740 with 2GB of VRAM and it ran alright
RDR2 can look very beautifull, just like a movie, if the graphics are set to their highest settings
Eh if you look far away yes, but if you get close to things you'll nice a lot of details are missing.
Quadro K620 has GDDR3 which was released only a few months after this.
Mine came with 2GB of GDDR5, it was the evga super clocked edition.
You should add doom eternal to the benchmark list, its fairly well optomized for all kinds of hardware but it will be fairly taxing on older cards
I suggested this!! Thanks :))
Quadro K620 came out a couple of months later with 2GB of ddr3.
Your ddr5 variant to compare it to would be the gt650. Basically the same card, 384 Kepler cores and gddr5 ram
I have "the better" GT 640 by Galaxy I use in an older LGA 775 machine, has the same amount of CUDA Cores as the GTX 650, but it only has 1 GB of DDR3 memory. It's OK for most older stuff, I played Bioshock, Fallout 3, and Oblivion on it, etc. I never even tried to play GTAV on it.
Happy new year mate!
