This card has been running for like 4 years, playing modern pretty modern games. It's only working now because I dont have any replacement for it now and Im waiting for my 1070 to arrive.

>HIS 290X

Good performance, especially for the price I picked it up for ($380AU, so $70 cheaper than the cheapest 970 at the time). Actually looks OK, imo, especially since it ended up matching my MOBO (z77 extreme4) and PSU, which is pretty wacky. Not too loud.
>Dislike
It is still a Sun localized within my PC even with the aftermarket cooler, regularly hitting 95℃ with pretty good airflow (2 fans blowing in, 2 out, 1 in the bottom blowing air up at it). Can get pretty loud at load.
Definitely want to get a card that runs cooler, or at least doesn't require aggressive cooling to keep it under control. It's kind of incongruous with all the other parts in my Define R5 which are, you know, quiet.

My needs aren't great, I play the original Halo and GTA san andreas, the old HD7750 rips through them while consuming barely any power, it'll even play Crysis maxed at 720p at 30fps but I don't really like that game.

Its been a champ that has served me well for almost 5 years. But its getting to the point where eveb medium settings at 1440p is too much. But i mostly play autistic grand strategy games so i dont even know if i want to upgrade yet.
>>55313833

Are you fucking retarded? Why would you complain about your temps and OC ability? Also Your case based on what I saw doesn't have the worst airflow, especially since you are getting those temps, though I know you are trolling anyways.

-relatively low power usage (running both and a 4790k all overclocked on a 750w PSU)
-reference blower coolers so they look nice
-perform nicely at 1440p, especially when SLI co-operates
Bad
SLI seldom co-operates in 2016 with most new titles
Most applications never make use of SLI
No reason to upgrade until an HBM 2 offering (1080ti or 1180ti probably) so I have to wait quite a while.

Whatever the latest nVidia driver is
MBP (1GB GDDR5 version)
Overclocked to 1050/2500. They overclock like champs.
Good trick for heat is to underclock your CPU since most games are GPU bound and you don't need that CPU turboing up to 3.6 for no reason.
Real problem is it tries to stay under 85w combined load. GPU will throttle like crazy well before thermals are a problem.

I think the same thing is going on with AMD's Crimson, it made my HD7750 idle at 50C up from 45, and it ran a little shitter, I went back to Catalyst 15.7 and it lit the hell up, way cooler and faster.

breh that gpu is 7 generations old, it was out 8 or 9 years ago.
they stop makeing drivers after a card hits 7 years old.

It's a Dell Optiplex 745, and yes my card would work in your Vostro.
>>55314742
Old drivers are fine on windows, but on GNU/Linux games just refuse to launch at all, or run in software mode or something.
Considering that I don't care about new vidya, I could stay for 10 years with one GPU and be fine with it, because it plays games that I care about fine.
>>55313265
nVidia GeForce GPU (Alienware Alpha - basically a GTX 865M)

>>55314789
Dude! I also have a Dell Optiplex 7010.
My Vostro has a Pentium 1.8GHz and 1.5GB of RAM, gonnna upgrade to a C2D and 4GB of RAM, and I wanted to throw in a GPU.
All I want it to do is play some games at 1366 x 768 and 1080p YouTube videos and shit posting.
I might seem like I dip, but should I also add a 200mm fan on the side panel?
>>55314815
C2D is enough for shitposting, but you have to make sure that you get a GPU for video playback if you want to watch youtube in a web browser.
Also, bloated websites can be kind of slow on a C2D (something like tumblr), so don't expect too much.
I'd recommend at least an i3 and 8 GiBs of ram for comfy web browsing.
>>55314795
ill be legit with you ,gnu/linux is a spiky dildo that fucks its users. sure it has its freedoms, but id rather just mod windows like i do,
ill mod win 7 into Armageddon sense they want to fuck us over with 10.
but why not just have a spare win7 crack disk for gameing?
i did that for a while.
but i abandoned linux for the reason you listed.
imo it makes mac look like an ok os. and that just unacceptable,

Wine-staging runs osu better on my computer, even compared to windows 10, and OBS just works better if I want to record a replay.
Also, I can't live without GNU Emacs, and it's gimped on windows, so I don't want to torture myself.
Oh, and windows uses too much ram, it's almost like I got a GiB of RAM for free when I swithced to arch.
>>55314815
I'm running a Q6600 and don't get too hot with no side or rear fan, you'll be fine especially with a dual core, I'm also running a 1366 panel (sadly) and it performs well on that res with 1GB of VRAM.

I know that RAM is cheap these days, but not in my case. My laptop is from 2008, and I don't see the point of upgrading unless I get a desktop with an 5820k or something.
I don't want to upgrade my laptop, because I don't even know when it'll die.
>>55314902
The core 2 machines are pretty useful with minimal upgrades, I've got another optiplex 745 with a GT 610 that handles 1080 blurays no sweat.
>>55314902
>Pentium 1.8GHz and 1.5GB don't do the best for modern web browsing.
This. Windows pretty much requires 2 GiBs of RAM to be usable at all, and Pentium is not enough for anything more than browsing 4chan with 2-3 tabs in Chrome.
I use pentium D boxes with 1 GiB of RAM at school, and even text editing can get hard on them, and I remember the pain of trying to do graphic design on a p4ht 3.0 GHz with 3 GiBs of ram and win7.
>>55314951
Are you into prebuilts a lot? Yea man, the parts are also pretty cheap. I can get the CPU, and RAM upgrades for under $20 bucks.
>>55314970
Yea and even then it struggles. Holy shit mane the Pentium 1.8GHz is soo fucking shit, I hate it. Good thing that a C2D will only set me back about 5 bucks.
How do you think a C2D E8400-8600 with 4GB of RAM would do?
>>55314941
oh well shit ,
never said it was a laptop.
that changes alot

but its going to be great for just about everything
>>55314993
>How do you think a C2D E8400-8600 with 4GB of RAM would do?
It should be good enough for web browsing (just remember that some bloated sites might lag on that setup). You should also be able to play older games on that fine if you want to.
Holy shit, even that would be an upgrade from what I use as a daily driver.
>>55314994

You can do that, or you can wait for zen and get it for reasonable prices from a company that doesn't fuck over its customers. Have you looked at the price? Same goes for their new super amazing 1.7k processor, that's totally a legitimate price, and their business pactices are also amazing and should be supported.

Ive been using my HD 7870 w no issues for a while now. Your card cant possibly be dying already. Does it run at 90+ constantly or something?
8600 GT
Had it lying around and have to use it now because my old-ass 8800 is finally getting way too hot and it needs new thermal tape and I'm not sure if I'm going to fuck with it or just wait til I upgrade.
Solid card if you don't want to play any new games, but I have a console to appease me for now.

>>55314756

Ran at 60C idle, 85-90C under load. That might be due in part to how I incorrectly installed my cpu fan to blow hot air on the card. It just died last month, giving me an artifacted blue screen when i put it under load (even before it heated up). This blue screen then occured every time i booted into Windows. I managed to boot into Windows again without a bsod once by resetting the drivers, but after putting it under load again it fucked up. I replaced my psu, which only let me load it up a bit more before it crapped out. Should've been more careful about static when handling it...
Other than that is been a good card for 4 years.

The lesson for me here was that Nvidia doesn't care about longevity of even $400+ cards more than two years after release.
>>55314572
Nvidia inspector. Only way to get the overclocking to function is by writing little .bat files.
Sounds like you don't have a MBP. If I were you I would try undervolting and underclocking your CPU. Might find that you have a bit more thermal headroom. Sadly I can't do this myself.

I was contemplating an upgrade to an RX 480 but considering the shitstorm I've seen on /g/ and [spoiler]/v/[/spoiler] about it, I think I'll wait until something better comes along.
My card before this was a Radeon HD5770 and that lasted me for about 3 years before I upgraded to the GTX 750 I have now, I should probably stick with it for a little longer.

>>55324307
No I got it a few years ago when I bought my 2008 iMac. Never really tried playing too many games because I know it's pretty weak, it can play San Andreas though so that's enough to keep me satisfied. I'm going to see how upgrading goes when I build a new computer, iirc the max I can go is an MXM 8800GS
I guess this is a good thread to ask in.
What gpu should I upgrade my Dell XPS 420 to? Currently it has a q6600 at 3ghz, ATI HD 3650 (pretty bad), 8gb ddr2, and a 375w psu with 30A on the two 12v rails
I was thinking the 950, is it possible to go with 960? Looking at the power draw of the RX 480 I don't think my psu can handle it (don't want to replace the psu)

>>55320779
I've been thinking about it too, but honestly I don't need it. I don't play the latest games, so maybe that factors into it, but as long as I can compromise on things like shadows to keep games at 60fps, then I see no reason to spend money I don't really have chasing the latest greatest thing.
By the time it finally kicks the bucket, I'm sure whatever $200 GPUs are out will be fantastic. The 480 is tempting me though...

Honestly its worked like a champ for years now. I bought it new for $50 from Newegg and its be good. Granted it's only needed to power a 1280x1024 display. I've really only seen it struggle with a few new titles like DaS3 and SFV but it's a little excusable because those games are (or were) poorly made and poorly optimized.
The fan is starting to go. Its a small fan and especially during the summer it has to work hard. I'm proud of this little GPU though. It takes the overclock well and just keeps working. Nice job Powercolor/AMD/ATi

$66 is a price I can't really regret, right?
I figure on a price per performance level, being able to run most new games at medium settings at least, that's pretty good right?

it's an msi r7 360 overclock 2gb ram
GTX 480
Pros:

>was good enough for me when developing for CUDA
>runs the games I play decently
Cons:
>will probably burn my house down
>can't play many new games on anything besides low details or at all
>barely even fits in the case
>no 2xdisplayport unless I'm blind

Nvidia bloatware drivers really drag it down, run old drivers as such.
