    I really miss the time when graphics cards used to have funky PCB colors. Nowadays the 3 most common colors are black, white or green. That's sad.
    I think blue and red PCBs, look pretty!
    Fantastic video as usual! I really enjoy these kind of videos.

      Oh yes there has been some great designs over the years.
      The blue pcb Hercules 3d prophet 9700 pro & their 9800 pro with the blue led fan.
      Arctic cooling's vga silencer gpu cooler cards like from HIS which usually took it a step further with those too.
      Their Ice q models specially the HD 3000 & 4000 series still look great.
      UV reactive coolers!
      I'd love having that kind of glow with the gigabyte 1660 super i use in my main pc right now even if i dont use any uv reactive cold cathodes right now id buy some just for the card.
      Copper coolers are also great looking both third party & first party.
      Like Msi's gtx 560 ti golden edition & their gtx 465 golden edition or cards with the Zalman vf1000
      Other third party coolers like the zalman vf3000 series, Thermaltake Duorb & 330 fanless cooler, Gelid icy vision, xigmatek battleaxe.
      (Dad has one mounted on my old xfx hd 6870, great cooler for the card got it used new in box for like 5 usd off ebay years ago.
      Stays silent pretty much up until 70'c where it starts too make some noise.)

      It's so sad Gigabyte gave up their typical color, blue, that they've picked up around year 2001. They fell for that black boreness. They've made also beatiful blue motherboards, even in times of Z77 chipset (Ivy Bridge)

      ​@@warrax111 That's so true. I still have a bunch of Gigabyte boards in my collection, with that PCB color. My personal favourite is the GA-6BX7+, it looks lovely. What a shame, that the majority of PC Hardware have to use the same colors.

      I had an old PC with a red Nvidia 1080HD Graphics card that lights up and changes colour with an AUSUS BLACK PEARL motherboard and a fluro green sound chip with all the flashing lights you can fit in a single unit, Compare that to my new PC and style wise it puts even the fanciest new PCs to shame. I miss the days where companies actually tried to impress their customers.

    • @TheVanillatech
      @TheVanillatech 2 года назад +3

      I've never had a loud build, even back in the FX5900 Ultra days. If you build with a good quality case and don't have the tower open or sitting right next to your ear, the noise should always be minimal. I think the noise here on the videos is pretty enhanced with the microphone, too.
      So I had a Leadtek Winfast FX5900 Ultra and it was silent in running unless looping 3D Mark or stress testing the card. I still own it and use it in a Core2Duo retro build from time to time, but the machine right now has an X800Pro installed because it gave much better performance in Age Of Mythology.

    • @dogs-and-destruction-channel
      @dogs-and-destruction-channel 2 года назад

      It's actually one of the features I miss from the old PCs, some may find it annoying or unnecessary, but for me it's the sound of a hard working PC. Sometimes I actually remodify the fans (if safely possible) with louder ones just to bring back that experience plus it cools down my PC way better that those quiet stock ones.

    • @l337pwnage
      @l337pwnage 2 года назад

      PC's back then weren't really loud unless you made them that way, barring all the mechanical media and modems, which, I presume, you are not talking about.
      People that bought "high performance" cards are gonna expect more noise, and the modern cards aren't a lot different when you work them hard enough to trigger the fans.
      If anything, the cases back then were quieter due to being more closed off.

    @sio2709 2 года назад +18

    This backup fan idea is hilarious. To solve the potential problem of a cheap fan failing, they simply added another crappy one , so it's OK if one of them fails. Just using one or two reliable fans would be too boring I guess :).

      7.2.0? I think that latest version is 2.4.6 or something like that.

So the PCI-e version of the Albatron 6600GT could be combined with a more modern system compared to an AGP-system , even if it wasn't meant for gaming .

    I always love Nvidia's Video cards because they always had a sick looking heat sink on them...
    Most cards had little mini ones like Matrox and ATI and 3Dfx which wasn't impressive..
    Nvidia ruled in looks and were super attractive..
    Matrox G400Max had the best visuals and bump mapping and using Open GL and glide drivers installed from those companies on the Matrox card made it run super smooth and way stronger in frames...
    which Matrox only came with D3D which kinda sucked for smooth powerful gameplay..
    So at that time Open GL drivers was the Bomb..
    Matrox screwed up even though they were untouchable and the best visual detail of it's time..
    Voodoo2 SLI and 3DFX 3000 16meg was untouchable later.. A Voodoo5 came out to early till CPU's finally got stronger P4 3.2 over clocked to 3.6Ghz actually made that Great card shine and flew!!!
    Visuals and colors were stunning and unmatched.
    But 3Dfx Voodoo 5 came out when CPU'S were at 700Mhz and it ran kinda shitty
    But kept mine till the new stuff came out and gave a world of difference.

    Bit of a bearing noise there from those or is it just the buzz from them being tiny fans ?
    My dell inspiron 6000 windows xp laptop soldiers on still despite being a ati x300 chipset which was prone too failure.
    (Using a non standard 90w HP charger missing the 400 ohm resistor in the ground pin so it limits cpu normally but can be forced out of it with crystalcpuid.
    Made a profile shortcut on the desktop with the help of that program so i can just doubleclick that for full speed & a slight undervolt at 1.276v or 1.294v.)
    Guess that's thanks too it being the slower pentium m cpu of the time 2 mb cache 1.5 ghz pentium m 715.
    tried getting the leaked duke nukem 2001 build running on it but got the graphical glitches from the broken renderer & the direct x 8 to 9 dll needs a newer windows too start it seems but runs great on vulkan on my main pc that leaked build.
    Also fixed up a laptop recently from 2012 but hey 25$ too have it up & running fine isn't that bad. Samsung 3 series laptop with an amd a8 4500m & a dedicated hd 7670m as gpu 1x4 gb ram currently as i put those in my lenovo t420 a few years ago. & a random 120 gb hdd for now. With the windows 7 usb 3.0 patch i installed that rather then 8.1 or windows 10 too make it lighter too run. with the rather low res 1366x768 screen it hit the 300 fps cap on half-life 2 pretty easily so much faster then the hd 3000 graphics of the lenovo t420 lol.

      Or not your kind of thing too collect besides that old 386 dell & that military laptop you showed on the channel 2 years back ?
      Might be fun too check out the early Alienware laptops for example or perhaps some old Clevo laptops that had upgrade possibilities like mxm slots for the graphics card & desktop processors on a few models a few years back.

      @@Mini-z1994 The Dothan pentium M can undervolt like mad when you use something like RM-Clock. At 800mhz they will run as low as .7 volts. And at about 1.5 should be able to do around 1.25. At least my 2ghz model does. At above 1.5ghz it wont undervolt too far though. And at 1ghz the stock voltage was 1.1! They had so much more potential.

      you probably had as many 64-bit crippled version. Some were even 133/166 on memory (so 50% slower from good one)
      Full FX5200 128-bit with good memory was actualy good card (for the price, and fact, it is lowest line of all FX series).
      Differance bandwidth of memory was like:
      worse one: 64-bit 133 Mhz stock
      good one: 128-bit 300 mhz overclocked.
      It's like 6x more bandwith on good FX5200.
      Would give +100% performance in games, if not more.

    That CPU may have been a real bottleneck to those GPU's. A gforce 4 4200 can hit >10000 on an athlon xp2100. I would not have expected the FX cards to score so close to each other in either the games or 3dmark. Those GPU"s were contemporary with P4C and Athlon XP Palomino and early Thoroughbred.
