Recently NVIDIA announced that they would be discontinuing Game Ready driver support for their Kepler architecture-based GPUs like the 600 and 700 series. Does this mean these GPUs can no longer game? Today we find out.

Ah, 2013, when you needed quad SLI just to play at reasonable frame rates at 4k. What a glorious age we live in. Single card, ultra settings, at 4k, and high frame rates. You know, except nowadays we can't play at any frame rate because GPUs have become a myth.

I sold my 780ti for $470 AUD back in 2015. The buyer sent me this message through eBay after they received it “I think the card is great! It is my first ever card that has full metal housing and back plate and it is so premium feeling (I think the accent stickers are metal, too!). And it ran all my games smoothly at 1080p on my dell monitor. Looks great and feels great in my FT02 case, I couldn't be happier.”

watching doom eternal chug on 25 fps makes me sad that Linus never contacts LowSpecGamer for these types of videos, that guy would have Doom running with at LEAST 40 fps
He did a collab with LowSpecGamer though.
To be honest it's kinda strange that doom eternel chuged so much. I have i7 2600 and hd7850 and this game goes 50-55fps with dynemic resolution on and AT LEAST 30fps without it

This is so true. I recently sold my first ever graphics card which was a GTX 770. I hadn’t used it in years and thought it was basically worthless for gaming these days. But, my friend at work managed to get his hands on a PC that was just missing a GPU and he wanted to build his son a gaming rig for strategy games. With my 770 apparently the kid is able to get max settings at 1080p in all of the games that he plays.

The 290x is a better Option, full Dx12 Support+ 4GB Vram and sometimes double the fps of the 780Ti
The only areas where the R9 290X is better are more VRAM and DirectX12, while the 780Ti has more performance in others.

This sort of video is a nice counter balance to the videos of the 3090's etc.
I'd like to think it helps those who are running these cards feel better about their current rig.
It's also outstanding if you need a vid card for emulation as those tend to use open GL or vulkan which are both fantastic api's for older hardware.There are also some small communities that make custom drivers for older cards.They may be old, but they ain't dead yet.

Modern coolers might have all the bells and whistles, but those 7th gen Windforce coolers will always have a place with me.
I had a windforce 4gb 770. Still one of my favorite cards aesthetically. I used it for around 4 years. Hated letting it go.
Ok...
I've still got 2 windforce 980ti's. They're very pretty
9th gen winforce was nice too
That’s how I feel about the bright yellow and blue TriX OC Sapphire 290’s, they just looked so sick
It’s amazing how capable these cards still are
If you’re looking at older cards, I recommend the Nvidia Tesla m40 paired with a good APU. It needs a bit of know how to get it working and cool it properly but you end up with a Maxwell card with performance similar to a 1070 ti (goes for $400) for about $160.
AMD did the exact same with their own old cards...Pre-Polaris lost support.
[cries in R9 Fury]

The golden “Elitest Douche” was just perfect :O
Only the finest fonts are used for our elitist douchebags, of course.
I beat cyberpunk on a 1080..... and it was still a great experience. 3060 ti gave me more fps but adding more ram(to 32) actually gave me a very nice improvementin the fps area.
My old rig had, I think, 24GBs of RAM, and was running an XFX 390 Double Dissipation [takes a breath] Black Edition. I _comfortably_ played Cyberpunk at, I think, high settings. Mainly just lowering or turning off anti-aliasing was a sufficient boost, and I seldom noticed any frame drops or anything. This was at 1080p.
Cyberpunk may have been completely broken on release, but in my experience the game is not only fixed, but _surprisingly optimized._
Incidentally, on my new rig sporting an AMD 5950x 16-core CPU and an XFX 6900xt, I can play Crysis 3 on max settings, at 4k resolution, while still achieving a mostly consistent 60fps. . . as long as anti-aliasing is turned down to FXAA.
That's a _massive_ bump, and I don't even game at 4k, I was just testing it out. I'm going to stay a 1440p gamer and play all the latest games at full settings, 60fps for the next five to ten years, I reckon.
Oh, and you can get an XFX R9 390x (I had a 390) on Ebay for $100 right now. For $100, that card is an absolute STEAL. We're talking playing modern games at 1080p, at high or sometimes ultra settings. . . for a c-note!
Because so much hardware remains fast enough for most purposes for as long as this video partially demonstrates, I'd like to see a lot more "incremental upgrade" videos, where just one part is replaced, how the bottleneck was identified to decide which part to upgrade, and things like that. From-scratch builds are fine too, but at least for me, a rarer scenario in the real world.
For those prices I'd never get those cards.
If I look around a bit I also see 970's for 100-115 dollars. And the 970 has a newer feature set and still has support. I'd always get that over a 780 ti, unless the 780 ti was A LOT cheaper.
I paid $140 for a Titan black and it wasn’t worth it on performance alone. I’d go for an r9 290 for $75 if you’ve got the psu for it but if not a sub $120 970 is a great card.
Well all is I would say because of "everone knows what". I have RX 570 4GB that I bought used almost 2 years ago for just 100 pounds [with PSU 450W so YAY! nice deal]. From what I checked that is about 140 dollars. And I STILL play most new titles around high [depends on memory requirements unfortunatelly]. Now I checked this card and it costs around 200 pounds which is just fucking ridiculous.
@@MrZuo123 i can sell my 1070 for at least 450USD now, when i bought it in 2017 for 420USD haha
Depending where your at tho those prices are gonna vary wildly

Core 2 duo E8400 4GB 1300mhz DDR3 2x 8800gt less goo (I could run that abomination on SLI but I ended up frying one of the cards. Now I'm running i7 7700 and a 1060 3GB)
15:00 the 10 series I guess also fixed the ultrawide skew that gpus until 980ti were doing.
Try the same thing but using FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), I'm sure a lot of people are interested in squeezing out more performance from older hardware, especially right now.
The case for Doom Eternal is that its game engine relies on tight integration of compute and graphics tasks to accelerate the rendering.
Kepler GPUs can't execute compute and graphics kernels at the same time and this deficiency leads to frequent GPU under-utilization, resulting in sharp FPS drops. The small video memory size is not a factor here.
Even if Nvidia had the will, no driver-level optimization could do much (if any) to improve the performance in that game for Kepler.
That's very good insight!
is that why my r9 380 has better fps? because my r9 380 did not run like that on doom eternal
Im sitting here with a 2070super on 1440p playing at 144fps with raytracing and this thing cant even get 25 fps wow, my card was $500 and that thing was $700 thats insane ( i saved up for an entire year back in 2019, way before this gpu shortage so dont hate me for having rtx lol)
@@SubZyYT What game are you playing? More importantly what is your CPU. I have a 2060 super with a r7 2700x at 1440p. With DLSS on Quality I get 60fps easy.
@@mommick Even the first gen GCN (Radeon 7970) runs circles around 780Ti in Doom Eternal, despite being weaker in every single parameter.

"Elitist Douche" made me laugh so hard. Glad it was said, I hate to see people knock older hardware like it's garbage.
One mans trash is another mans treasure... I sold my friend a system with a 7470 I think for dirt cheap. He never had a desktop before and it gets 60 fps in valorant!
@christopher starshine Yeah some people just have the need to make themselves feel like they are better than others(pc hardware😂) usually fat guys with lil pp's
yea, i got a 12 year old mac thats still kicking. I use it mainly as a media server and it works well.
“Elitist Douche” is an excessive attack response when the hardware is clearly showing signs of aging and even arguably holding back gaming evolution when people continue to influence slower development progress by using old hardware [supply issues not withstanding]. I use a 780 in an HTPC which works well for that but I acknowledge it as now being the back of the pack minimum you would ever want to use for modern gaming. Acknowledging that reality does not make one a “douche” and Nvidia is thusly acknowledging that fact by discontinuing support.
@Taistelu_pelto Nobody cares about you flexing your computer part
retro gaming is awesome and everyone realizes this when they get older and start missing their old games and hardware from back in the day. Just wait til you hit 50 years old or so.. I love the new but I love the old too..
Ever heard of emulators? With the way things are now... Hardware can easily be reverse compatible to old software.
@@escapedcops08 Yes (that is what everyone always responds with and I dont know any pc/gamer that does not know about emulators). First off, not every game is available. Second, is it is just not the same experience. Think of it like driving a classic car, the sounds, the feel, ect. ect. Another example is old arcade games, sure there are emulators for those games also but it is not the same as standing and using the original hardware/controller/track ball ect. ect. on the original screen. I still play games on my win98 computers that I built all those years ago and they are still fun in there own way. The sound of the disc spinning up, the hard drive spinning up, ect. ect. it is comical but still fun.
Not really. I love bungie era halo and half life but you won't see me ever playing those games. I tried and it's just jank compared to the qol we have now. All love for older games but damn are the newer shit just a better experience in almost every way possible.

At the moment of me writing this, I am using what most would consider to be a potato laptop from 2012 with a GT 720m, an I5-4200U that only reaches 2.6ghz maximum in overclock, some crappy almost 10 year old HDD that I never bothered to change and 8GB of DDR3 RAM. Pretty far below what anybody would consider to be "good" or even "decent" yet with the right system care and optimizations It runs most games 60+ fps(not great but fine for gaming) with some of the more recent titles or up to date games dipping to about 45-50 here and there on medium settings(Games like WoW Shadowlands, War Thunder etc) certainly not going to be able to use high settings for new stuff though some games are just optimized well and you can(Smite allows this potato to play it in full ultra settings 60+ fps somehow) but titles of the last few years you can smash the graphics all the way up ez.
Wouldn't recommend buying a pc like this if you can afford better, but if you have a low budget it's fairly solid and definitely not as bad as the misleading information about it you will find online. Used to game on this heaps, now it's more for portable QOL reasons with the occasional Skyrim sesh. They stopped supporting the GT 720m cards a few years ago with the last update being 391 or something.
I still have a gt 610
Then no more Windows 11?
Aww jeeez. Not hating but damn, your HD 3000 in your 3570 is not much worse than a GT710, unless you only built it in recently, you could've saved your money and buy a better gpu for a only bit more money if you started off with the HD 3000 only.

Nice to see the power consumption also being mentioned.
I did a deep dive into my old setup from 3 years ago. It was so outdated and didn't realize it until Warzone came out and it wouldn't even run it.
It's all still in the case in the garage. Radeon HD 6850, FX4350, 1GB of DDR3, an ASRock Mobo, and a 350w off road power supply. Only decent piece was the hyper 212 Evo cooler. No wonder I struggled with FSX and other decent games.
Ended up replacing it with a Skytech Chronos prebuild (fail) with a Ryzen 3100, Asus A320M-K, GTX 1650 Super, 550w offbrand PSU, 4GB of DDR4, and a cheap air cooler. I modded it to the point it no longer had any original parts left aside from the 1TB Barracuda SSD.
Now I have the white Corsair 6800X with a 5600x cooled by a CM LC240E on a Gigabyte B450M Aorus (I know), 48GB of Ripjawz DDR4 (2x16GB + 2x8GB until my other two 16GB chips arrive), an MSI Gaming X Trio RTX 3060, 750w Enermax Revolution PSU, 2TB 870 NVME SSD, 2TB Firecuda SSD, and 2-1TB Barracuda SSDs. I'm replacing the Mobo with an EATX asap, so I can expand my build somewhat and make it more aesthetically pleasing.
@Stein Mauer cuz I can buy what I want? The games I play store assets into ram. I play with tons of assets on flight simulator and cities skylines. It's nothing to load 48gb of assets into a game. Live flight traffic with proper liveries is a huge ask. Add to that the on-demand high resolution texture streaming and tons of both official and community DLC for Flight Simulator and it gets to be a RAM heavy game. To be fair, it's an everything heavy game.
As for the Mobo, I didn't get the EATX. I am looking for a better RGB board now. I wanted the EATX to fill in the empty space on my case.
@Stein Mauer no. Just couldn't justify it for what I play at this point. 5600x is a great gaming CPU and among the best if you don't plan to stream or do much rendering. I wouldn't mind a 5800x when I switch boards. I considered going all out and getting a Threadripper over the 5600x, but I don't need it and the boards are more workstation focused.

Lmao what resolution do you play in lol? 720p?
Per the Tom's Hardware GPU Benchmarks and Hierarchy 2021 Legacy Cards section, the 780ti is right below the GTX970, which is what I have in my desktop machine... since it is basically the same as the GTX1060...
Until a few months ago I used a NVIDIA GTX 660 Ti (3GB GRAM) in my gaming PC and for 1080p and a second monitor it was enough most of the time. The first recognisable downside came, when NVIDIA stopped the driver updates and games started to include new Stuff which depended on new updates.
The first game where I was not able to play it anymore was Horizon - Zero Dawn. Before, it ran on minimal graphic settings and if you don't depend on 60 FPS and can live with 40 FPS it can work.

Ah, the irony.
(Jk btw)
Made me feel better about still daily using my GTX 970, But hey it does everything I *personally* need it to, so I'll upgrade whenever that stops being the case. Until then what's the point? None to me. Especially with an antiquated i5 4670K. Putting pretty new graphics capabilities in my PC when the brain is still older and slower at this point would be next to pointless anyway.. 900 series is next then I suppose.
They can drop the driver support and I will not care one bit. I'll use it into the grave or until it's literally unusable. The Maxwell architecture is one of the biggest technological, performance and efficiency leaps Nvidia has ever made and I'm very interested to see just how long it can hang on..

In many modern games like Doom Ethernal going down in details does not actually give you that much more performance. I can speak of experience with my now FINALLY replaced GTX 980. What you need is to lower the internal rendering resolution, that will make the game look blury but also gives you the real big performance boosts you look for. I did 50% for doom ethernal on the 980 GTX on 3440x1440. That looks blury but its essentially rendered in something close to 1080p so it was actually not that bad and I had 55-60 FPS I think.
He should just turn down the rendering resolution to 80 or 75% and it would probably be pretty playable but also very blury.

Just did the last official driver update offered by NVIDIA, now I'm thinking, perhaps end of an era for the Haswell rig. Been a long time waiting and watching through each successive CPU and GPU generation and just haven't been enticed by anything or willing to pay the drug money required for a GPU. Things seem to be normalising now, the new Intel actually looks like a worthy platform and perhaps the coming 4000 series might see me go all in on a 4k setup and maybe another ten years rotation on hardware.

man... that GTX 760 Windforce used to be the stuff of my dreams when i was looking to build my first gaming PC...

The fact that we're even having to DISCUSS using this nearly decade old, practically fossilized hardware as a viable alternative to paying extortion pricing for modern gear is a bit depressing.
Anyone remember living in 2010 and thinking "hmmm, no, this GTX 580 is just too darn expensive, I'll just buy a second hand Geforce 4 Ti from 2002 off Ebay instead, that should tide me over"???
No, you don't, because not only could a Geforce 4 Ti not even hope to run any of the games we were binging in 2010, but the GTX 580 was considered bad value for money at the time, and it was the fastest single GPU card on the planet while costing 5-600 dollar max. Again, it was considered a bad deal, and it was 500$ MSRP.
Nowadays people are glad to pay 500$ for a mid-range card.
By time I got into the game, uh, 10 years ago maybe, prices must have already been crazy, because I've always paid a lot for graphics cards. The second card I bought (bought it for my pop) was $450, a PNY Geforce GTX 780 Ti 3GB, according to the Amazon listing. That was 2015. In 2019 I bought Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER. For $630.
To be fair, that's Nvidia. And I skipped a year. In 2018 I bought myself an XFX R9 390x (which turned out to be a 390, not a 390x, so I think I got ripped off, but since this was five years ago I guess I can't complain anymore). That R9 390x was a thrifty $220, and lasted me four years, and would have kept lasting if my computer hadn't died. (Bad motherboard, but I was kind of spoiling for a new rig after owning the last one, in two or three iterations, for 10 years.)
So I dunno, I think the prices have always been a little crazy, or at least for as long as I've been watching them.
Good thing in my books, less e-waste and people still getting use out of really solid hardware.
Don't forget to factor in Inflation. According to usinflationcalculator, $500 in 2010 was worth $621.33 in 2021. Due to the high post-Covid war inflation, in 2023 that same money is now $705.49.
That's not a fair comparison considering Moore's Law. You could crap on the situation in 2010 just as much if you say "Well when the PS1 came out could you imagine comparing 3D graphics to Pac-Man?"
The answer to "Can it run Crysis" is yes, these cards can run Crysis. Look at "Crysis 3 Remastered" and "Crysis 3" side-by-side.
It's over, it's done. We're good, we did it. Games are photorealistic. $50 GPUs can run Crysis. And now we can build a computer that runs photorealistic games for $250 (What would've been $177.18 in 2010), or otherwise just keep running our 10 year old computers. Steam survey confirms this.
