>not knowing that when you built your computer, AMD's processors that use the FM socket don't have iGPUs and the ones that use the AM socket do have iGPUs (although AM4 which releases with Zen creates a unified socket for AMD).
>>54916137
>buying AMD processors
You deserved
>>54916137
Unless you need your computer for work, I don't see a point in getting a GT 210. If you needed to play le gaymes like LoL that aren't hardware intensive, you should have went with a GT 730.
>>54916137
That's a cute GPU.
You should have bought a passive one. It'll be useful in the future if you ever plan on retiring that platform and turning it into a server of some sort.
>>54916196
I'm not sure if bait but amazon.
>tfw did the same and stuck for shitty vga onboard video that looks blurry as fuck for over a month
>>54916289
It was the cheapest decent looking card on amazon that had prime shipping.
I need it just to use my computer because I take some online college classes.
m8 this shit i why i keep old hardware for emergencies, i got saved by it from random deaths and upgrades, the syncmaster3 crt, pci geforce 2 mx 400, ps/2 genius netmouse and ibm model M keyboard are harder to kill than cockroaches.
You fucked up bad. Think about it this way: you just added $30 to whatever gpu purchase you make in the future, because good luck selling that piece of shit used. Or, you could have put that $30 towards an i5 in the past and not be stuck with a shitty CPU that is slower and had no igpu.
>>54916137
Your FX-8350 will bottleneck your 1070 to shit, enjoy your terrible purchase decisions.
>>54916499
wowza a whole $30
is this the end of spider-man?
>>54916137
Why disnt you just buy some used one?
For that price I bought a 650ti boost, which is almost as good as a 660 and a shitload faster than a 210.
If you just care about having a graphics card you could buy a used one for 5-10 shekels
>>54916519
I have a I got the CPU and motherboard for $150 total about a year ago from microcenter I will upgrade here soon. The problem with new Intel CPUs is that you have to buy ddr4 memory too.
Would a i7-4790k bottleneck?
>>54916567
No it wouldn't.
>>54916137
>amd CPU
>gayming
pick one
You're going to want to keep the 210 even after you get your real card. Don't sell it. If you have to RMA your video card in the future, you'll be waiting a week, and will be completely fucked. I have an xfx 8500 GT, it was my first graphics card in 2006 or so. This is what I go to when my graphics card dies and I don't have integrated.

>>54916137
>And what the fuck AMD!
It's your fault you blabbering retard.
>>54916392
bullshit, I just checked and there are no listings even close to 50% off. some are 20% off, which isn't BAD, but you might as well just buy the 1080 at that point.
>>54916651
pls...
>>54916654
Dunno, the AMD northbridge bottleneck?
Daily reminder that buying anything other than the 1070 and the soon to be released RX480 is retarded.
>>54916647
I just checked a few sites with it up against Intel HD 3000. Some of them say they're equal, some say the Intel one is better. lel
I have one, for my old (now dead) htpc, iirc it plays dota2 on 768p with everything turned off @60fps, the last games i ever played on it are pes2012 and surprisingly can push graphic setting high quality despite frame drops during goal replay.

>I've heard that ddr3 prices are actually rising to the point were it makes sense to buy ddr4
>>54916835
It just sucks to have to buy ddr4 instead of using the ddr3 I already have.
fuck OP you could have bought something like a 6950 or 7870 or whatever mid range amd gpu from like 2011 for 50 bucks on craigslist or something.
nobody buys a 210 unless they're the tech guy at work and they need a video card for multi monitor setups.
i've actually got a GT 210 right in front of me. it's basically my test card or something for building computers to make sure the pcie slot works.
pic related. cute li'l blower there.
>>54916994
I just need it for a couple of weeks until I can get a 1070. I was thinking about using the gtx 745 from my computer at work but losing my job over a the almost unheard of 745 isn't worth it.

>>54917084
I think this is becoming the recurring theme of this thread. Good advice.
>>54916137
Babby graphics cards like the 210 are super handy to have around; they're really flexible unlike gayming cards. I have a 9500 GT I keep kicking around just in case something goes wrong, but unfortunately that caps out at 1440x900. I might have to get another utility gfx card soon.
>>54917068
pegatron is yo nigga.
anyway here's two pics to show just how small the die size is on the 210.
>>54917290
Yeah the 210 supports a pretty high resolution and multiple monitors so it will be pretty handy even after I'm out of my current situation.
>>54917084
This is why I have a room of shitty computer components I'll never use but can never get rid of.

We only have one benchmark for the 480, it's too early to decide on it. At least the NDA has dropped on the 1070 and more reviews/benchmarks are out.
>>54917658
nice.
oh wait, what's this?
IT'S A MOTHAFUCKIN' S-VIDEO PORT, THAT'S WHAT!
>>54917693
It's basically going to be a 390 or better, the 390 had 5.1 TFLOPs, the 480 apparently has 5.5
and the 1070 is pretty pointless unless you already own a 4k display to push it
>>54917622
Don't listen to him OP. Both those techs have major issues.
>>54917765
what techs?
>>54917738
The 1070 is good for 1080p 144hz, 1440p at 60hz, and 4k with some settings turned down.
>>54917778
Freesync only works down to 45 fps and the 480 has awful frametimes, poor driver support, and won't overclock for shit
>>54917785
but not if you don't already own the higher end display, and it ends up being ultra/max settings vs high settings for half the price
but gotta wait for benchmarks
>>54917801
>the 480 has awful frametimes, poor driver support, and won't overclock for shit
There hasn't even been a single review
>>54917801
>Freesync only works down to 45 fps
Adaptive sync can go down to 9 hz
and that display can go down to 35hz, but with a 480 you're never really going to hit that with decent settings at 1080p
"Note that the FreeSync operating range for the monitor is 35 – 144Hz" The newer models have most likely been updated with the newest firmware

>>54918082

If anything, it's only a matter of time until Nvidia caves and gives their cards freesync support.
>>54918082
Nvidia already uses free-sync in their "mobile G-sync" displays, G-sync will probably die off, if nvidia weren't such jews we'd have high end adaptive sync displays everyone could use, and they'd be cheaper because of free-sync
the same 1080p 144hz G-sync display costs $349 vs the $209 on that free-sync display

Europoor here. Worth buying chinese shit like this from ebay?
>>54922509
No, it's probably a 430 or some shit actually.
Why a 960 in the first place?
Get a 380 for example, under 200 bucks brand new or a used/second-hand 970, prices will fall hard.
Or just wait for RX 480.

AMD is always a bad choice.
>>54916137
How do you first install the GPU drivers ?
>>54922816
windows boots with very basic video drivers that allows you to use the pc to install proper drivers.
>>54922797
It performs slightly better than the 210 and is passively cooled.
And there's an assload of them on the used market because they were extensively used in prebuilt machines.
>>54922843
Noice.
Do you have onboard VGA on your motherboard, or do you just plug your monitor in the GPU ?
>>54922726
i got the 750 Ti 2 years ago. if you don't mind playing at medium settings or under 60fps then it's an ok card.
The main reason you would get a 750 Ti (or a 950) is because they are the most powerful GPUs that don't need additional power and can be used with shit PSUs like the prebuilt PCs use.
>>54922843
He wouldn't know that. Since he has only used GNU+Linux his entire life.
>>54922879
Straight into the GPU?
How do you do a fresh install? First plug in the iGPU on your Mobo and install drivers or something?
>>54922885
Don't project Anon.
I will have the same problems if I want to change my GPU. I didn't remember how I installed the drivers.
>>54922891
Fuck if I know.
I have no VGA or onboard graphics, but somehow, 2 years ago I managed to install the right drivers.
>>54922891
for a fresh install you plug everything where they belong (monitor on the gpu for example) and install windows. windows does the rest until you get proper drivers.
>>54922917
I know that.
I'm asking how he did it, since he clearly didn't know that.
>>54922881
Yes, maybe two years ago but now it's a stupid mistake to buy.
I have never been much into selling my old hardware.
So I've just ended up with a collection of GPUs going back to RIVA TNT2 Ultra.

I have a box with 25 AGP GPU's....
On a different but related topic.
I have an old Netburst Xeon based server.
Doesn't have AGP or PCI-E and the integrated GPU is a shitty 16mb ATI Rage.
What's as good as it gets as far as PCI-X / PCI GPUs go?
I just want to install something slightly modern. Consider that right now it has a hard time dealing with the xUbuntu GUI.
>>54922979
I'm sorry I just keep getting brainwashed by the NVIDIA jew.
Maybe I'll wait for the rx480 and see how that works out. It'll probably drive down the prices for the rest too.
>>54923001
>drive down the prices
yup, probably the best thing to do in your shoes, you might end up with a good GPU you can use for years to come
>>54922995

Also, are you running in Xfce hardware render mode?
A ATI Rage won't struggle with it otherwise, speaking from experience.
>>54917901

>>54922979
AMD cards are more expensive in my country, use more power and generally perform a bit worse.
The 480 is looking promising however.
>>54923027
I'm a pleb ok, I like a gooey.
I'll try again with Xfce eventually.
I wish the server actually booted without the PCI-X riser cage since the cage seems to be plugged into a PCI-E slot.
on the topic of old GPUs , i'll post some of mine.
that one is dead.

i had this one in a very poorly ventilated case. ended up popping a vrm (complete with magic smoke)
>>54923136
I'll dig a few out myself then.
Post GPUs everyone~
This one is unfortunately fucked. Wanted to toss it into a low spec C2D media rig.
this one had a useless previous owner that put thermal paste on the memory and vrm instead of pads and died of overheating (started artifacting) a couple of months after buying it.
>>54923204

the thermal paste isnt why the cards died m8
No idea if this one works. Got it from someone but don't have a running rig with AGP to test it.
>>54917852

I'll find more GPUs to post later. They're stored god knows where.
>>54923238
this was in a box with motherboards. it was dead so i didn't care.
So I've never really found a good answer on this, never found a great thread to ask either. How do hybrid coolers compare to air coolers life expectancy wise?
I know the temperatures tend to be quite a bit lower, up to like 30-40c lower in some cases, but I'm wondering how long the cards are expected to last considering the liquid in the cards can't exactly be easily replaced.
>>54923245

Also have a pair of ATI Rage cards somewhere along with a Radeon 9550 and 9800 Pro. But don't feel like looking for them.
Should also have a SiS card somewhere.

>>54923705
And to add to it. The fan is the most annoying thing I have ever heard.
The ball bearings have gone bad over the years.
This card has a bug in the BIOS that makes the fan run at high speeds all the time.

Exactly man, prices are literally almost the same. No excuse to go with anything other than Skylake, and DDR4. If you build older you are stupid.
I have a 3470, and a 970. I have been wanting an excuse to build a new PC.
I have it all in a Dell case so it idles at 34° C, if I can get below that with Skylake I would he sorta happy.

i keep an old 7800 around for shit like this - right now, it's in an old P4 i have in the bedroom for an HTPC and repeater (free wifi from landlord upstairs is shit in other parts of the house due to a lot of hot water radiation pipes), and im running a 16:9 monitor and 27" CRTTV via SVideo with it. decent backup card for it's age.
>>54926386
>Worst shit I ever owned lagged like fuck on DOOM 3.
I quite liked mine.
I eventually upgraded to a 9800 Pro, but it died so I went back to the 9200. Then a buddy gave me his old 9550, which too met the same fate as the 9800.
The 9200 just kept on giving.
It wasn't the one in the picture though. Not sure if that one even works.
The one in my rig had a red PCB.
>>54926827
Well it did have a lot of VRAM compared to my previous Inno3D Nvidia Geforce 3 with 64MB but it had lower performance all over the board when it wasn't VRAM limited.
Upgraded to a 7800GT later and what a difference it was.
I haven't been on ATi cards since, and I haven't had an AMD product since Athlon64 3700+.
Pre Core2 Athlons were beasts when it came to performance but it all changed and has been Nvintel ever since.

They do output a good image. Here's a screenshot I had from a 2GHz Celeron (i845E,lel)running Windows 98 with Plus!.

Purple PCB...is it a 5700LE?
Believe it or not,I actually found one thrown on the street. It was only missing the heatsink,and surprisingly worked. It ran a bit cooler than the 5200/5500 cards,but it did still need a fan. (I had one from a Pentium 133 cooler)
How did you not notice? Wouldnt the motherboard not even have a DVI/VGA/HDMI port on the io if the socket didnt support onboard video? My last AMD motherboard didn't have anything on it.

>It's LGA775 isn't it? Toss a C2D in there. Top of the line C2Ds cost like $10
First revision ASUS P5LD2,so pretty much can't. VRM doesn't support (literally not supported in this revision,even Asus states that)
I have a dual core CPU laying around,but I need a AM2 board and those seem to be pretty rare here. It's a AMD Athlon 64 x2 5600+ 2.8GHz (based on the model number),which back when I used it,it was a really awesome and cool (literally,35 idle and barely past 44 on load) chip.
Have a 6800XT, 2 4870s and a 550ti on back up. Plus a 480gtx and 7970 in 2 other systems.

Just replace the caps. It's easy - just get a soldering iron (30w recommended,works best!),desolder those caps,buy some new caps with the same value as those desoldered,solder the new ones in,and test. It should work fine.
>>54928065
Are you like extremely poor or something?
Can the board atleast handle a Pentium D, otherwise I'd really just recommend you try to dumpster dive a C2D Optiplex. Those are fairly easy to score, then you can just toss in something like a Q6600 assuming you the motherboard supports it and pick up a cheap GPU.
HD 6850s cost like nothing.
>>54928157
Well I might try that, but I doubt it's the caps.
Assuming the caps were the issue the card wouldn't output anything. Here I'm getting the purple lines of death.
Already had to change 8 caps in the motherboard to get it working. I am an electrical technician (Engineer soon™).
Easier to just find a different card.

Optiplexes don't even exist where I live. Literally. And meh,I'll just try hunting down a 9800GT and a decent PSU (the current one is decent as well - CWT ISO) and be done with it,9800GTs aren't that bad,right?
>Assuming the caps were the issue the card wouldn't output anything. Here I'm getting the purple lines of death.
Not really. Had a Radeon X1050 with bad caps. Because of them,every time I'd install the drivers for the GPU (I had to reinstall Windows several times to figure out that it's from the GPU,not from Windows,topkek) the PC would boot up to desktop,stay for a few seconds on the desktop then simply lose signal.
As for a dualcore,I definitely will hunt down a AM2 board. I am pretty much fed up with Intel for the fact it runs really slow (I have thermal paste applied and CPU HSF secured in place tight) even though it has a boatload of RAM and a big as fuck HDD .(1TB - not common in 775 days,eh?) 5400RPM though (came from a Verbatim HDD enclosure. I was pretty much surprised to find a Samsung HDD in a Verbatim enclosure...)
Hope I get lucky and find a ASUS M2N-E SLI locally. Black PCB (which I find sexy),Award BIOS instead of AMI (oh god,how much I hate the later 03'-present AMI BIOS),two PCI-E x16 sockets for SLI action,all the goodies.
idk why I have this lying around.

NIGAAAAA
Don't even throw that away,it still holds up today. Really,even the New'n Tasty and the recent 2012/2013 Need For Speed Most Wanted and Hot Pursuit work on this. I can confirm this on a relative's PC I played at,with a Phenom X4 960T CPU and 4GB RAM (I think).
>>54928635
>Phenom X4
heh, funny, this card was being used on a phenom x4 970 that I gave to my dad. Now he uses that CPU for a point of sale machine ;_;
>>54928584
Wish I had one of these.
>>54928400
My situation honestly isn't that much different.
I mean, my best machine right now is the laptop I'm posting from.
An i3-380M and an HD6370m is pretty fucking shit.
I'd love a >>54928635
tier rig.
>>54928753
It was an OK card, but goddamn does it heat up and makes noise like a fucking jet engine. Still, worth the upgrade over an old gtx 460
>>54928673
Yeah,a 960T. I shit you not,this was absurdly used for Facebook and porn. The fuck? Even the motherboard and PSU were pretty gud - 500W High Power (aren't those built by Hipro? Or do they build their own PSUs instead of OEMing) and ASRock 870 Extreme R2.0 (UEFI AM3)
>>54928753
Ironically,I actually tried running NFS Hot Pursuit (the 2013 one) on my dual core AMD Athlon 64 x2 5600+ system with a 1GB GT210 (RIP,it was a good card for how much I paid for it) and it worked with little lag. Maybe it helped that the CPU was dual core (a single core A64 3200+ I had before this X2 was lagging like fuck,with the same GT210 GPU)and that I had about 3GB of RAM?
>>54928805
Yup,you clearly never listened to a AVC 92mm 12v 0.16 fan at FULL SPEED 24/7. Let's say that thing would be silent near that AVC fan.
>panic buy pic related for $30 in the meantime.
topkek. I bought this shit for 55 and it can run all vidya. Even Doom on lower settings.
>>54928400
Actually.. if you'd like to hop over to an AMD machine..
What about something APU based?
>>54928842
>Athlon 64 x2 5600+
Fuck, I even have an old 5200 lying around. No way I can even use this one, don't have a motherboard for this.
>>54923690
>random headers on old GPUs
What is their purpose?
>>54928885
I've seen APUs. Good god no,they heat up like hell. I have a friend that got one inside a Zalman case and we talked on Messenger,and told me his temps were in the 65* range.
>>54928993
It's socket AM2,just like my 5600+.
>>54918235
I've been posting this constantly. It's the main reason I won't buy nvidia. The price difference in monitors would let me spend at least an extra $150 on the gpu.
>>54922509
It's a scam. They ship in "batches" and then abandon the accounts or absorb the bad feedback. They just flash the bios so it reports as a whatever(760,960, etc). Would be surprised if they can even output 2d video.

Having a spare GPU is nice but you can always just stepup through evga.

Bought that shit before they fixed the SATA issue with the lga 1155 boards so I got a free new mobo from newegg. Bought the 2500k right when they came out. Max value nigga
>>54916225
are you fucking retarded? nothing you said is factual
>>54916137
You spend $30 on rancid ass. Always have a spare GPU on hand. Just grab a 7770 or a 650ti or something for times like this. I use my 7750 when transitioning

I've got a few ye old but functioning graphics chips.
ATI Xpert 98 8mb pci - First card I ever bought
3DFX Voodoo 3 2000 16mb pci - Got two, one is original I bought in 1999, other I bought and got installed for playing old games.
ATI Radeon sdr 32mb pci
ATI Radeon 9600XT (Sapphire brand) agp
Geforce 6800GT agp - installed in decommed gaming pc.
Geforce GT 740 - current card. all I need for the games I play, most older titles pre dx 11.
Geforce 8800GT - This was my current card from 2008 - 2015. Just died on me.

I put a 210 in a Dell computer I bought on craigslist. Now I can hook it up to my TV via HDMI. I use it for MAME and retro emulators. The whole rig was cheaper than a night out at the bar.

>Just AyyMD Things
I've got a passive GT210 that I use with some old parts that I threw together into a HTPC because the mobo didn't have an HDMI port. I benchmarked it (with a Phenom II X4) for shits and giggles, and it managed a whopping 1 FPS in Unigine Heaven.
Why did you sell your old GPUs without being able to get the new one? Why dodnt oyj check for onboard before selling
>>54933856
Long story short. I had a USB 2 HDMI external card that I downloaded drivers for and tested. It worked great. But then without the cards it doesn't work.
>>54916137
Not all Intel non server processors have integrated graphics as well. Particularly the "E" lines, for instance:
