I'm using a GTX 960 4gb for my win7 rig it does fine at 1680x1050 and they are stupid cheap right now, I paid $40 for mine from the local Facebook marketplace.

This is about as practical as maxing out the 48-bit memory bus on an Athlon 64

Xbox 360 was just poorly designed, so any chip will die in such conditions. Doubt that the Xbox 360's RROD was caused by a poor design. Has a similar problem related to soldering, not a coincidence. I believe the Xbox's RROD mostly happened due to problems with the die substrate of the GPU, not the …

The 1060 3GB earned it's place on that list just by existing. Nvidia made a huge mistake by putting that in circulation, as the full-version of the card, which packs 6GB of GDDR5, is a wonderful gaming and creative workhorse that is still beloved by myself and many others. I dunno i had the 3gb …

sadly MVKtech doesn't have downloads anymore, but you can reach out to them and see if they still have the file somewhere, because they did have the original A350 bios back then

The FX3450 is a 6800GS in disguise, same clock speeds of 425/1000 as a real PCIe 6800GS and it does compare well to the 6800GT in benchmarks, its got the same size and speed of ram, just a tad less raw fillrate. But you'd have to clock it beyond its limits to reach 6800 Ultra preformance 6800GS …

Not a bad match for a Pentium III, same for the 9200 and 9250. But the latter 2 by my experience are a little hot headed. It's better to replace the heatsink a bigger one or have active cooling. I'd assume that's also true for the 9000, since it's essentially the same, but higher clocks and 4x AGP. …

How do yall feel about the Radeon 9000 Pro and regular 9000 cards, in benchmarks back in the day they competed well with the Ti200, full DX8.1 support, and looking at fleabay you can usually pay under 20 USD for one so also affordable, and where faster than the MX440 and FX5200 back in the day.
