I don't think so. Because 4k or 8k is not at all NEEDED standard 1080p is way more than enough for most people that makes 4k capable cards relevant for many years to come. In 10 years maybe the low end 1070 or 2060 will be, but the high end ones, not so much. I think even in 10 years a 2080ti will run most games at low maybe even medium at 1080p, and will not be regarded as junk. Heck it's almost 4 years since the 10xx series launched, and I would say 1080ti is still king if you disregard RTX (which is pointless in my opinion anyway). We are currently reaching a top end limit on how much power a gpu can have. Unless we come to a big break trough in new technologies and thus make regular gpus totally obsolete, then no. I think it will be priced at least around 100ish dollars in ten years.
It was really around the GTX2XX Series that AMD was bergining to make some major leaps where Nvidia really wasnt. Its nice that a lot of titles like Fortnite, and GTA V will run properly without having to mess around with too many drivers. Nice find.
You are so lucky to have found this card from the dump. Finding something like this would absolutely make my day. But I live in Pakistan, and electronics are more expensive here so companies and businesses don't just throw them out, but instead sell them off when they don't need them anymore.
It's a pretty nice card. I remember getting it back in 2016 for $30 to mess around with and I ended up using it as my main GPU for like a month instead of my 750 Ti. Plays Battlefield 4 at 768p Ultra @ 40-50 FPS.

Daniel Combs I had another comment on this video about a crossfire concept, and I already deleted it because it seemed a little "spammy", just because I commented twice so early
Sammy So basically I got really lucky. Before I started working there, I went to the plant and asked if I could buy any old computers, and as I was about to buy the computer parts, the owner introduced himself and I got his business card and we exchanged info, and he said there may be an opening in the future. About a month later I get contacted, after 2 weeks of temp work, I got hired! I love it, and definitely recommend working at a recycling plant if you are interested in tech. (Plus I also get great discounts!)
I bought one of these brand new 10 years ago it was like $560 CAD as I recall... most I have ever spent on a GPU (doesn't seem like much these days tho) I went all in for once and it paid off that card kept up for a solid 5 years.... only reason I replaced it is because a cap fell off the board not sure how that happened... it still posted and worked but I felt it was about time for a new card about 7 years into owning it ... mine was the XFX version great card still have it!!! it did have coil whine just like yours under load and it would use upwards of 325w!!!!
I remember that design like the back of my hand. I won a GTX 260 at a local LAN party when I was really just starting to get into PC gaming. That card kept me running for a very, very long time, and even still lives on in my parents' rig, handling The Sims like an absolute champ. Also like the lack of the sticker as well. I had the BFG card, so the sticker wasn't the worst. It was still nice to remove and have a clean reference design.
My friends trash is my treasure. Hp laptop broken screen but it has core i5 3rd gen intel hd 4000 4 gb 1600hz. Connect it on my 32 inch hd tv. Bought a simple gaming keyboard mouse bundle and play dota 1 online rgc on 720p high. 64 fps lock.
You should set task manager to always be on top. It helps a lot when dealing with black screens and frequent crashes and saves you from having to sign out then sign in again.
The air in the cans are treated so that there is no moisture in the gas that comes out. If you used an air compressor on a computer, the moisture in the air in combination with the pressure would most likely kill the computer.
I've been tinkering with computers since the late 80s, and that's proper vintage regarding computers. Maybe retro would be a better choice of words. :)
570 is still a decent card today. Faster than a GT 1030 in some situations. The other two not so much, but the 275 is also still a nice card and the 8800 GTX is a card people remember.
I had the 280 back in the day. The first card done the exact same, crashed as soon as I installed the drivers but the replacement was a beast to go along with my q6600
i know you have done a review on the r9 290x 4gb in the passed but how about the r9 290x 8gb ? nice to see you saved that card tho still go's to show old tec can still play some newer games fine still
I have a 290 (4gb), a 290x (8gb) and have tested them both with (a pair of) r9 290x(4gb)'s, tested all cards singularly and in crossfire (mixing ram sizes and core counts every way possible). When all clocked to 1000mhz, seriously 290 vs 390, 290x vs 390x, 4GBvs 8GB there's next to no difference (okay a 390x might be on average 5% faster but thats like 70fps vs 73fps, who cares). All can do 1080pUltra/1440pHigh today still, they're faster and cheaper than the 780/780ti's they competed with, best bargains ever. I also have a gtx1060 asus dual 6gb and have built a gtx1070SLI (founders) rig for a client so no I'm not biased.
not all of them are 1000mhz tho my sapphire 290x 8gb 1375mhz on stock clocks i did a rainbow six siege benchmark with a overall 47,8 min 124.0 avg . 278.5 max frame rate with a mix of high and very high settings
The reference cooler of old. Later came the 400/500 cards with integrated bbq and the 600/700/900 with a sleek window. The 10 series changed the design for the worse.
HappyBeezerStudios - by Lord_Mogul yeah I definitely preferred the more simplistic designs of the older cards. Even the one on the 480 with heat pipes that would burn you if you touched them ._.

Up until a mobo failure a couple of years ago finally did my system in, I was still using a BFGTech GTX260 OC and Athlon 9950BE and played most the games you showed on here with it. Was a hell of a good system to me for about 8 years.
no its for "high bandwidth" bridges ;) Actually I was trying to work out what you was surprised about then remembered nvidia are destroying enthusiast gaming :( been using an r9 290 all these years and forgot nvidia had those tabs still and my gtx1060 doesnt have any either. so go figure I forgot that was a thing, must be weird for 970SLI owners having a band aid/plaster connecting thier 2 graphics cards.
BFG made aome wicked gtx 2xx cards. Usually alot iv seen began to artifact. After re thermaling and repading them and running them extremely hot on purpose they usualy snap out of it. Havnt had a single issue with them after, been 4 years so far
One of my friends still has his GTX260 and it (kinda) still does the job for him. I think it might be overheating and thermal throttling, but I couldn't see any way of dissembling it, because it is the XFX edition, which doesn't have the usual screws at the back.
>2009 >$380 for a flagship GTX 285 >2018 >$700 for a flagship GTX 1080Ti >$3000 for an intermediate card between GTX and Quadro, the Titan V Wew, noVideo really needs some competition, AyyyMD (Rayyydeon Technology Group) doesn't seem to be in the best shape to compete with them. Maybe Outtel will do something with their GPUs, but I doubt it. I do trust their driver team more than I trust the others, but I don't trust them to do better GPUs than AyyyMD. I do hope they prove me wrong and we get some better deals.
I would like to share that I purchase a HD 7850 from Ebay for $17 dollars. It was being sold as is and the cooler on the card was missing, however the risk was worth it as it booted up with no problems! I just ziptied a Case fan to it and now I have a kickass 1080p card for under $20 :))
You're content is amazing, all you're missing is the professional grade videos, better camera, better lighting and more cutting back to you in a well lit and nice looking studio.
Just FYI, when testing games on Skyrim I've found that the valleys are the most taxing on hardware. Somewhere between Shor's Stone and Riften is the worst spot for me.
I've also heard people's GPUs screaming on Crysis. Strangely enough, my GTX 260 (i don't have money to upgrade, okay) also behaves odd when i'm playing on extremely high fps. Whenever i reach close to 70 fps on some games, it starts to crash, stutter and drop frames. That's why i cap my FPS to 50 whenever i play games. Looks like these old junks weren't meant for playing games at more than 30-40 fps.
Yes, Outlast is being capped to 60 fps. You can see that the cpu and gpu usage are quite low. And yeah, that horrible coil whine usually means your card is about to die.
For testing older GFX cards. Some modern games that use still use Dx9 are Euro truck simulator 2 that game really gives my Nvidea 970 a workout. They have a demo of that game.
The whining noise you heard was coil whine I believe, my corsair CX750M previous power supply did the same with my GPU under load, its normal. Radeon's R9 290 and X did it too
Please let Random know this by thumbing up. Blackops 1 has an issue with any windows OS after Windows XP SP3 Back when BO1 was released XP ran 50% faster. I think it had to do with XBOX 360 where it uses Windows XP Shell. Yes Blackops 1 is 50% faster on Windows XP Pro SP3. And the whine is Coil Whine where if it's user presure it makes that noise. Mine does it on 1 game only.
If you didn't know, in the GTA V Configuration File you can force the DirectX Version to DirectX 9. I don't know if you can do that on the latest version, but it's worth giving it a shot.
+RandomGaminginHD Man, your videos are awesome. Can't get any more genuine than a seagull in the studio. Keep up the awesome work! Gotta love the budget stuff!
9:01 My EVGA GTX 280 buzzed like that! It was a bit lower pitched and usually happened with the framerate went below 10 or above 100. I've mentioned this on another site, and someone else responded with the same issue (BFG model). It's probably an issue with the particular generation. I was glad when it broke some other way (cracked solder joints, maybe), and EVGA gave me a 285.
I really enjoy your videos on old hardware. It brings back memories, but it also points to just how far hardware has come. This once flagship GPU is not even as good as a R5 5600H in Fortnite and uses a lot more power too. My first gaming pc had a pair of 8800GT in SLI. That build has had me hooked on PC hardware since. Today, I am enjoying my RTX 4080 with my I7-2600k
I still have one of those. My friend used to play war thunder with it :) I also have two GTX 295 in sli in my "nostalgia" pc.. Man it was hard to find a proper 1366 board with sli.
Why run socket 775 tho? I was running tri-sli gtx 280's back in the day, and core i7 was already the name of the game, yet alone when the gtx 295 came out 6 months later
Personally it was because the gtx 285 came out in Q1 of 2008 while the core i7 came out in Q4 of 2008 and gtx 295 came out later in 2009, I was trying to build the best pc you could get with socket 775 before the new i7 released! So for ease Im labeling it the beast of 2008 though I would be wrong because of the i7 BUT I was given the cpu and needed to do something with it! Next I plan on building the Best pc u could get as of 2010 using a xeon x5650 overclocked (like the x5460) and gtx 580's in 4 way sli because I believe (and correct me if im wrong) sandy bridge wasn't actually released till Q1 2011 and the 600 series nvidia gpuz didnt release till 2011 either
@@anonymousone9447 okay cool man, was just curious :) never tried running 4 way, have fun! Though the gtx 285 was released in 2009 not 2008, which he also says around the 1 minute mark ;)
@Eclipezz whoops.. I meant 1366 board :) My friend gave me i7-960 for free and that's where the whole idea for the system started. Fixed the first post.
9:01 - ah, the sound of coil whine - proof that a card is being pushed to its limits, that or the inductors on the card were not the best. Either that or the fan bearings are completely knacked and they are literally scraping their way to try and function.
So why didn't you take the CRTs? Something like an Iiyama Vision Master Pro 514, Mitsubishi Diamondtron, Sony GDMFW900 or Lacie Electron 22 Blue IV would be worth keeping an eye out for. Especially because something like the FW900 is 1920p.
I instantly knew this was a GTX280 or similar; love seeing this card out in the wild and on videos. Few knew how beastly it was in that tiny slice of time 2008 time. Though cpus were lagging behind then by a lot.
I'm always surprised at how good some of these old cards are despite their initial specs, having only just gotten into Desktop PC gaming moving from laptop gaming (what a nightmare!). Having very expensive laptops with 2GB+ "high end" mobile GPUs perform worse than much older 1GB mid tier Desktop GPUs really makes me question why I never made the transition much earlier
The recycling centre you go to, is it a local council one? I have been trying to find something similar myself where I stay in Glasgow, but they don't seem to exist up here. I did get a GTX580 for nowt of a colleague in work, well he was going to give it to me, but I gave him a tenner, because the same guy gave me a GS 7880 AGP card years ago and I feel really guilty as it's now worth a few bob. I did manage to just win an auction for a GTX 295 for £13.50, which will hopefully arrive today. Those Seagulls have some good eating on them you know, you should have bopped in plucked it and bunged it in the oven, and made sea chicken for your tea, lol. Saying that they are probably poisonous or something, I mean they spend their day eating rotten food at rubbish dumps, in fact I've got it he must have followed you home from the recycling centre, lol
At that time(2008), I had just upgrading from a Ati Radeon HD 3850 to a x1950 Pro. A year and a half later, I would get the 6870. Back then GPUs were released much faster than today. Ironic when you consider that GDDR5 has been around for 10 years now.
You've recently removed the temp monitor from your videos. Any reason for this? I'm really curious as to what temps the cards run at to see if the cooling solution, cleaning and replacing the thermal paste makes a small or a big difference.
That whining sound may have to do with the fact that the power delivery units are no longer keeping up like it used to be and may be on it's last legs.
Wow, so it's nostalgic for you guys... I was using this GPU until last year where I switched to a GTX 1080. But my old card still works fine, no crashes and so on.
Not sure if you have done it yet, but I've been noticing that you can get the gtx 295 for really cheap now days. I recently bought mine for about $30 in USD.
that fan sound was..i think it was badly connected power cable,also i would replace 2 dodgy looking caps on this board.u dont them to explode or start leaking and then destroying board.
Sounds like the bearings in the fan need help. That aside blower style fans are really ass at cooling. Side note: there are a few games hat have dx10 to 11 workarounds, though they can get buggy at times.
If you are interested in how a GTX 280/285 would run without the VRM limitation, have a look at the Quadro FX 5800. It's essentially a GTX 285 with 4 GB of VRAM, albeit at a slower memory clock. I got one here for a bargain some months ago.
I see that his pc was really dusty before he cleaned it. Tip: check your pc once a month or even more often so you do not get the same issue... it is really a mess starting to wash the pc when the dust is already hoarding!
I got an original Logitech G15 Gaming keyboard for $6 Canadian at a thrift store. Only thing wrong with it is the LCD backlight no longer works.(Or it might not be receiving enough power) but for $6 I am not complaining. Checked eBay and the first original G15 I saw was going for over $90.
Still have a xfx 285 lying around in its original box, never saw much use and it got replaced by a pov gtx 570tgt beast edition. And even that one has been replaced now by a zotac gtx 1060.
yah, that is called coil whine, everygpu has it, some (like this one) are just louder than others. it comes from the cpu core power delivery system, usually the long line of square block chokes that manage the power to the core.
@xsilene yes all. some are just much quieter than others. like the 1050ti and 1060 i had very quiet whine. i only heard it if all fans in the computer were off.
You might still be able to get sli, just use the good card as the display out, the bad card won't have to render to the outputs, I have 2 285's myself and 1 doesn't output at all but works fine in sli configuration
I could be wrong, but I remember seeing a video on a GTX 480 being de-lidded and having a heatspreader over it. Applying some liquid metal on the bare die in between and re-seating it improved temperatures dramatically for the GPU. I wonder if that is possible with that card you got yourself. It also has me wishing I still had my old GTX 285, because that thing just continued to do well for so long for me.
"you're in the studio dave..."
Dave's not here man
Dave: I dont care
'Why do You keep calling me Dave? It's Rodney'..........
Imagine in 10 years the 2080ti could be in this same recycle spot
I don't think so. Because 4k or 8k is not at all NEEDED standard 1080p is way more than enough for most people that makes 4k capable cards relevant for many years to come. In 10 years maybe the low end 1070 or 2060 will be, but the high end ones, not so much.

Diceman82 heck yea!
One of my friends still has his GTX260 and it (kinda) still does the job for him.
I think it might be overheating and thermal throttling, but I couldn't see any way of dissembling it, because it is the XFX edition, which doesn't have the usual screws at the back.

Wew, noVideo really needs some competition, AyyyMD (Rayyydeon Technology Group) doesn't seem to be in the best shape to compete with them. Maybe Outtel will do something with their GPUs, but I doubt it. I do trust their driver team more than I trust the others, but I don't trust them to do better GPUs than AyyyMD. I do hope they prove me wrong and we get some better deals.
ATI needs to rise again :D
Would love to see maybe a radeon X2xxx ...
But that will never happen. AMD will kill Radeon most likely.
Yeah GFX prices have gone up more than what the value of money hjave gone dowwn due to inflation.
the fact you have a seagull that actually stays around your house is absolutely amazing:D
Sadly that GTX 285 is better than my current GPU. But I'm saving for a new system.
I would like to share that I purchase a HD 7850 from Ebay for $17 dollars. It was being sold as is and the cooler on the card was missing, however the risk was worth it as it booted up with no problems! I just ziptied a Case fan to it and now I have a kickass 1080p card for under $20 :))

nice
You're content is amazing, all you're missing is the professional grade videos, better camera, better lighting and more cutting back to you in a well lit and nice looking studio.
LOL he said ddr3 instead of gddr3 lel 9:50
Hi Champion it has ddr3. A lot of GPUs use ddrx instead of gddrx
UselessDood well this gpu has gddr3
you are thinking of the 280, hes got the 285 which does use ddr3
Joshua Minke not in this video he isnt he is actually using gddr3

glad you saved it. gtx200 series is still my favorite. did you de-couple the shaders from the core clock when trying to push it further?

RZPogi wait does he watches this channel?
RZPogi im tired of him
包育翔 no check a vídeo about him its just

包育翔 lol he doesn't
Just FYI, when testing games on Skyrim I've found that the valleys are the most taxing on hardware. Somewhere between Shor's Stone and Riften is the worst spot for me.
Really glad Dave got a meaningful role in this video
How do u have the audacity to overclock that thing
I've also heard people's GPUs screaming on Crysis. Strangely enough, my GTX 260 (i don't have money to upgrade, okay) also behaves odd when i'm playing on extremely high fps. Whenever i reach close to 70 fps on some games, it starts to crash, stutter and drop frames. That's why i cap my FPS to 50 whenever i play games. Looks like these old junks weren't meant for playing games at more than 30-40 fps.
Something isn't quite right in the BO1 benchmark. The gpu usage was between 40% and 60% but it was still dropping into the 40s for some reason.
Yes, Outlast is being capped to 60 fps. You can see that the cpu and gpu usage are quite low. And yeah, that horrible coil whine usually means your card is about to die.
I thought Dave was gonna laugh at him like that crazy seagull from "Family Guy" 😂😂
For testing older GFX cards. Some modern games that use still use Dx9 are Euro truck simulator 2 that game really gives my Nvidea 970 a workout. They have a demo of that game.
The whining noise you heard was coil whine I believe, my corsair CX750M previous power supply did the same with my GPU under load, its normal. Radeon's R9 290 and X did it too
also stronger than the GT 630 that one of my friend is still using.
What a very nostalgic card. I suddently remember Trubitar Reviews.. I wonder where he went.
Please let Random know this by thumbing up.
Blackops 1 has an issue with any windows OS after Windows XP SP3 Back when BO1 was released XP ran 50% faster.
I think it had to do with XBOX 360 where it uses Windows XP Shell.
Yes Blackops 1 is 50% faster on Windows XP Pro SP3.
And the whine is Coil Whine where if it's user presure it makes that noise.
Mine does it on 1 game only.
I was able to run crysis on an old 7300 GT AGP card on low settings in 800x600 back in the day.
good job rescuing it. That thing is actually much stronger than GT710, and 710 are still sold at mall stores in my country today.
If you didn't know, in the GTA V Configuration File you can force the DirectX Version to DirectX 9. I don't know if you can do that on the latest version, but it's worth giving it a shot.
+RandomGaminginHD Man, your videos are awesome. Can't get any more genuine than a seagull in the studio. Keep up the awesome work! Gotta love the budget stuff!
9:01 My EVGA GTX 280 buzzed like that! It was a bit lower pitched and usually happened with the framerate went below 10 or above 100. I've mentioned this on another site, and someone else responded with the same issue (BFG model). It's probably an issue with the particular generation.
I was glad when it broke some other way (cracked solder joints, maybe), and EVGA gave me a 285.
The reason of it screeching like that is because its fan is really old it might have been scratching while spinning really fast
I really enjoy your videos on old hardware. It brings back memories, but it also points to just how far hardware has come. This once flagship GPU is not even as good as a R5 5600H in Fortnite and uses a lot more power too.
My first gaming pc had a pair of 8800GT in SLI. That build has had me hooked on PC hardware since.
Today, I am enjoying my RTX 4080 with my I7-2600k
I still have one of those. My friend used to play war thunder with it :) I also have two GTX 295 in sli in my "nostalgia" pc.. Man it was hard to find a proper 1366 board with sli.
inkinen I just built a system like that! With a nforce 790i ultra and a x5460, along with three gtx 285's in sli!
Why run socket 775 tho? I was running tri-sli gtx 280's back in the day, and core i7 was already the name of the game, yet alone when the gtx 295 came out 6 months later
Personally it was because the gtx 285 came out in Q1 of 2008 while the core i7 came out in Q4 of 2008 and gtx 295 came out later in 2009, I was trying to build the best pc you could get with socket 775 before the new i7 released! So for ease Im labeling it the beast of 2008 though I would be wrong because of the i7 BUT I was given the cpu and needed to do something with it! Next I plan on building the Best pc u could get as of 2010 using a xeon x5650 overclocked (like the x5460) and gtx 580's in 4 way sli because I believe (and correct me if im wrong) sandy bridge wasn't actually released till Q1 2011 and the 600 series nvidia gpuz didnt release till 2011 either
@@anonymousone9447 okay cool man, was just curious :) never tried running 4 way, have fun!
Though the gtx 285 was released in 2009 not 2008, which he also says around the 1 minute mark ;)
@Eclipezz whoops.. I meant 1366 board :) My friend gave me i7-960 for free and that's where the whole idea for the system started. Fixed the first post.
9:01 - ah, the sound of coil whine - proof that a card is being pushed to its limits, that or the inductors on the card were not the best.
Either that or the fan bearings are completely knacked and they are literally scraping their way to try and function.
I’m not sure what’s worse the scream of that Gtx 285 or the jet engine sound from my gtx 580
So why didn't you take the CRTs? Something like an Iiyama Vision Master Pro 514, Mitsubishi Diamondtron, Sony GDMFW900 or Lacie Electron 22 Blue IV would be worth keeping an eye out for. Especially because something like the FW900 is 1920p.
I instantly knew this was a GTX280 or similar; love seeing this card out in the wild and on videos. Few knew how beastly it was in that tiny slice of time 2008 time. Though cpus were lagging behind then by a lot.
I'm always surprised at how good some of these old cards are despite their initial specs, having only just gotten into Desktop PC gaming moving from laptop gaming (what a nightmare!). Having very expensive laptops with 2GB+ "high end" mobile GPUs perform worse than much older 1GB mid tier Desktop GPUs really makes me question why I never made the transition much earlier
This is where it all began? I must be getting old.
The recycling centre you go to, is it a local council one? I have been trying to find something similar myself where I stay in Glasgow, but they don't seem to exist up here. I did get a GTX580 for nowt of a colleague in work, well he was going to give it to me, but I gave him a tenner, because the same guy gave me a GS 7880 AGP card years ago and I feel really guilty as it's now worth a few bob. I did manage to just win an auction for a GTX 295 for £13.50, which will hopefully arrive today. Those Seagulls have some good eating on them you know, you should have bopped in plucked it and bunged it in the oven, and made sea chicken for your tea, lol. Saying that they are probably poisonous or something, I mean they spend their day eating rotten food at rubbish dumps, in fact I've got it he must have followed you home from the recycling centre, lol
Might be worth when performing maintenance on such cards to also replace the thermal pads as well.
At that time(2008), I had just upgrading from a Ati Radeon HD 3850 to a x1950 Pro. A year and a half later, I would get the 6870.
Back then GPUs were released much faster than today. Ironic when you consider that GDDR5 has been around for 10 years now.
You've recently removed the temp monitor from your videos. Any reason for this? I'm really curious as to what temps the cards run at to see if the cooling solution, cleaning and replacing the thermal paste makes a small or a big difference.
That whining sound may have to do with the fact that the power delivery units are no longer keeping up like it used to be and may be on it's last legs.
Wow, so it's nostalgic for you guys... I was using this GPU until last year where I switched to a GTX 1080.
But my old card still works fine, no crashes and so on.
Really enjoying the longer videos. Keep up the great work!
Not sure if you have done it yet, but I've been noticing that you can get the gtx 295 for really cheap now days. I recently bought mine for about $30 in USD.
that fan sound was..i think it was badly connected power cable,also i would replace 2 dodgy looking caps on this board.u dont them to explode or start leaking and then destroying board.
Sounds like the bearings in the fan need help. That aside blower style fans are really ass at cooling. Side note: there are a few games hat have dx10 to 11 workarounds, though they can get buggy at times.
If you are interested in how a GTX 280/285 would run without the VRM limitation, have a look at the Quadro FX 5800. It's essentially a GTX 285 with 4 GB of VRAM, albeit at a slower memory clock. I got one here for a bargain some months ago.
Flashing the GPU's bios might help the one that keeps crashing after updating its driver. It is my last resort when all else fails.
Did you try using the -scaleform launch option on csgo? The new Panorama UI might be the trouble causing the crashes.
I see that his pc was really dusty before he cleaned it. Tip: check your pc once a month or even more often so you do not get the same issue... it is really a mess starting to wash the pc when the dust is already hoarding!
Always makes me smile when Dave is around, so, as usual, \o/ Dave
I really enjoy your stuff mate. Thank you.
I got an original Logitech G15 Gaming keyboard for $6 Canadian at a thrift store. Only thing wrong with it is the LCD backlight no longer works.(Or it might not be receiving enough power) but for $6 I am not complaining. Checked eBay and the first original G15 I saw was going for over $90.
"You're in the studio, Dave" 😂😂
Still have a xfx 285 lying around in its original box, never saw much use and it got replaced by a pov gtx 570tgt beast edition. And even that one has been replaced now by a zotac gtx 1060.
Maybe a comparison between this and a Ryzen APU?
outlast seems to be limited to the refresh rate of the monitor in use, i have a 144hz monitor and i seem to hover around 130 fps
Did you also clean out the heatsink under the shroud?
yah, that is called coil whine, everygpu has it, some (like this one) are just louder than others. it comes from the cpu core power delivery system, usually the long line of square block chokes that manage the power to the core.
@xsilene yes all. some are just much quieter than others. like the 1050ti and 1060 i had very quiet whine. i only heard it if all fans in the computer were off.
You might still be able to get sli, just use the good card as the display out, the bad card won't have to render to the outputs, I have 2 285's myself and 1 doesn't output at all but works fine in sli configuration
I could be wrong, but I remember seeing a video on a GTX 480 being de-lidded and having a heatspreader over it. Applying some liquid metal on the bare die in between and re-seating it improved temperatures dramatically for the GPU. I wonder if that is possible with that card you got yourself. It also has me wishing I still had my old GTX 285, because that thing just continued to do well for so long for me.
