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!)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Dave the party crasher lol really love your videos man keep it up i really like how you explain everything about gpus and cpus seriously you deserve more subscribers huge tumbs up
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
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 ._.
Glad to know I'm not the only one who, loots at the recycling center. I take nearly every time 1-2 PCs home, sort out what's still good, and bring the rest back devided in metal, plastic & electronics. ♻️💰
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.
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.
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
>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 bought one of these used about 3 years ago for $15 New Zealand and was even surprised back then how well it ran the likes of Battlefield 3 and others at 1080p. This video makes me regret selling the system that I made up with the GPU in it not long after purchase. Was a gret little performer. Oh by the way, I have sent you a Twitter DM, so please check them :) Cheers.
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
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.
+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!
Recently bought a GTS 450 off of ebay. I was running a GT 430 with 1GB of DDR3 and no need for extra power. For $20 I got the GTS 450 that upgraded the GPU and went from DDR3 to DDR5 memory. This allowed me to go from LOW settings to MEDIUM settings in World of Tanks. The GTS 450 runs well so this particular card is good. I gave it a good cleaning and it runs fine. This makes WAY more sense to me than dropping $1400 on the top of the line graphics card. If you decide to upgrade your graphics card, make sure that your power supply has the connectors and necessary voltages to support you new toy. Otherwise you will be investing even more money to make it work.
just me being annoying but you upgraded from a gddr3 gt 430 to a gddr4 450 neither card is ddr3 which used to be used for really low end models back when gddr3 was around, but when gddr3 became replaced with gddr5 (gddr4 was used in a very small amount and wasn't good so it was mostly ignored) ddr3 became the new standard for low end cards as it was I assume cheaper than gddr3. there are no ddr5 gpus yet, though we did get the much hated and reviled ddr4 gt 1030 (not gddr4, ddr4 lol)
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 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 :))
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.
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!
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.
I often forgot how ridiculously huge a GPU chip in 2009-2012 era. Owned HD4890, GTX460, 9600GT. Comparing those monstrosity to the RX570 or the GTX970, makes you wonder the trade offs they had to do.
I want a pet seagull....... We get plenty of doves and pigeons in our garden but no gulls despite them everywhere else. The doves come to feed at the same time every day at mid day and evening and sometimes the morning. Same ones, from same family.
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'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.

With all the hardware you're cleaning, may want to invest in an air compressor rather than spending it on cans :)

Some of those are still usable in 2018. Check out Budget Build officials video on the gtx 570.

Always makes me smile when Dave is around, so, as usual, \o/ Dave
5:29 trying to achieve my dreams
Xddd
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!!!!
In 10 years the 3090 will be in a dump
2:30 Dave is searching in your fridge. I'm his twin brother. :)
7:35 That guard doesn't even fucking care
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 :))
superb video and what a great find!! well done
Skyrim 900th playthrough?? Those are rookie numbers son.
They should call you the PC doctor. Gooooood stuff.
Dave was just posing for his own channel, DavesBeADickTips. There's only one type of video: him, being in your shots.
I really enjoy your stuff mate. Thank you.
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.
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 had a pair of these in SLI for years and they were awesome cards. They drew about 500 Watts at load but I didn't care. They were awesome.
Well there goes my "Can it Run Crysis" joke.
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.
What a very nostalgic card. I suddently remember Trubitar Reviews.. I wonder where he went.
One day, someone will throw a 1080ti to the trash
One man's trash, that's another man's come up
Attacking guards..........running from guards
That garden is beautiful
I often forgot how ridiculously huge a GPU chip in 2009-2012 era. Owned HD4890, GTX460, 9600GT. Comparing those monstrosity to the RX570 or the GTX970, makes you wonder the trade offs they had to do.
Fml I didn't expect it to become funny omg I'm dying
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.
WTH from the Dumpster WHAT???? GOD DAMN SAVE YOU AND THE CARD ! Unic ❤❤❤
I want a pet seagull.......
We get plenty of doves and pigeons in our garden but no gulls despite them everywhere else.
The doves come to feed at the same time every day at mid day and evening and sometimes the morning. Same ones, from same family.
this is cool, but the gtx 295 is a forgotten beast. the thing stayed good for 1080p gaming till like 2012. crazy.
Loving the dave cameo lol
Dave in studio goin crazy
Always enjoy your videos. You have a very pleasant vocabulary!
Dave shall sit on the throne after RandomGamingInHD
*ALL HAIL KING DAVE*
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.
The previous owner of this card are already past its glorious day, along with the card..
That chip on the motherboard is bigger than my future.
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.
That is some next level coil whine.
Also this card is way way better than what my friend used to have until about a year ago a (gt 210).
that coil wining, like old guy scream..
"You're in the studio, Dave" 😂😂
When he said “you’re in the studio Dave” he sounded really sad
14 years old in 2009. Ahh to be 23 again ...
