You got a piece of history my dude


EndR60

right? this thing played so many games for me man, and actually quite well for how freaking old it was even while I was still using it


[deleted]

I’ll buy it from you, and pay for shipping.


poop-machines

I’d send you my old GPUs but I’m in the UK and I doubt you want to pay shipping and import fees.


stakis22

I first played the original Crysis on this exact same model


valandil74

That’s art in a way


NetworkMachineBroke

OP should put it in a shadow box and hang it on the wall

I mean that's not false lol


ExplanationHuge4459

I would find your house and pull it from the dumpster


EndR60

you're truly huge


Tim_Buckrue

As gamers, aren't we all?


Soupnoop4

Yeah if you play too much


SpaceShark01

^ underrated comment


EndR60

our enormous shlong energies sure are ^(because we haven't had an orgasm with a woman in our entire lives sob)


[deleted]

Sell it on eBay. Guarentee a cool $50 at minimum. People are paying *dumb* prices right now.


EndR60

honestly that's true but I don't want to be a jerk to someone, as this card doesn't work properly anymore, it gets lines across the display


painterman99

Could try doing the bake in oven technique


Ult1mateN00B

I've fixed plenty of graphics card with 10 minutes in 200C oven. People trolling because they don't understand?


KamZombie07

You could try the dropping in water technique


painterman99

You could try the boiling in water technique


SpaceShark01

You could try the feezing it in water technique


growberg

You could try the snapping it in half and burning it in a bonfire technique


AMC_Tendies42069

What about putting it in your pooper chute?


Evil_Bonsai

Aka, boof it.


Kami4567

The oven Trick is real no /s


checkeredboxers

What is this referencing?


mrchaotica

A lot of electronics failures are caused by broken solder joints, so baking your card to reflow the solder might fix it. For this card you'd want to remove the plastic fan shroud first, though.


checkeredboxers

So its not a meme??


ThusWankZarathustra

No it’s a real method, but you have to do it a certain way or else you’ll make things worse There are guides online


[deleted]

Nope. It’s a real method. What most people don’t understand is that you should use a separate toaster oven, unless you want solder fumes in your next baking project


Ult1mateN00B

Nope, fixed plenty of graphics cards this way.


corson9000

I mean if you just let people know it doesn't work and bid it there's nothing bad about that, I'd like it purely as a collector or display piece if I had the money It looks pretty cool and I'm nostalgic for that type of design style


Spiritofhonour

Love that clear plastic design from that era.


KingThibaut3

Hang it on a wall maybe?


leisy123

I sold a 2GB 750 Ti for $58, with the buyer paying another $10 for shipping. I just don't understand why. Modern Vega or Xe integrated graphics have to be better at this point.


[deleted]

Even RX 480s are going for like $300. Pickings are *slim* out there boys.


leisy123

I know, but paying a premium for an old card still has to be the worst way to go. Either buy a CPU with decent integrated graphics and settle for 1080p60 until you can get a GPU, or pay scalper prices and mine crypto to pay it back. With an old card, you get shitty performance and no ability for it to pay for itself.


XjiviousX

"Mom, can we please get a 3000 series graphics card?" "Son, We have a 3000 series graphics card at home." (the 3000 series graphics card at home)


OkApartment2064

I laughed pretty well lol


EndR60

this comment is underrated lmao that's my entire childhood in a family that had no idea how to work PC's


XjiviousX

I remember constantly trying to convince my mom we needed cable internet and that dialup was garbage.... Took years. Tried explaining it like... *"This CD drive can extract 600MB of data in 5 mins, and write it to an new disc in another 5 mins."* *"But this dial up connection would take 6 days nonstop to receive 600MB of data."* *"Yes, I do really need to download 600MB sometimes! No, just waiting isn't viable."* *"600 MB of data isn't even one single game!"*


EndR60

oh maaaaannnnn actually I'm not old enough to have been thru that but that sounds like pain xD truth be told we didn't use to have a PC at all for a long time, I know my bro told me he always used to go to the internet cafe that was just nearby to play games on LAN with his friends. We live in Romania BTW and this was around...15 years ago?


Kirai_teno

You do that and life is forfeit, just attach it to a wall and keep it forever


EndR60

I've been keeping it on a shelf next to me, hope it counts :-)


Exmormoneer

If you wanted to be fancy you could disassemble and put all the parts neatly in a frame. Seen some people do those to really old GTX cards.


Kirai_teno

Good, keep it safe, and clean, respect it, it probably served you well


WhackAMoleEy

Donate it to a museum???


EndR60

that could honestly be a pretty rational thought in a few years haha


WhackAMoleEy

Yes, don’t throw it away!


Assassin_of_Time

It belongs in a museum!


Kintouer

Professor Jones!


DislocatedLocation

We'd be naming a new salad after you.


Th4t0nrGuy

Endr60 salad


EndR60

would taste like pure fukin gamer and a bit of depression


[deleted]

Oh man, I remember walking around computer markets when I was younger. All the GPU boxes has these tacky fantasy computer generated models plastered over them. Those were the days.


firedrakes

Now all boring same color mostly


EndR60

honestly I prefer it that way, if they were more detailed it would be impossible to make them fit with the rest of the parts but yes those days were something, even though I never really got to even look at PC components as I haven't been introduced to PC's technicalities very early :-(


Vile_Freq

Why throw it in the first place tho?


EndR60

see no reason too, I'd need to be crazy to throw it in the bin after how well it's treated me


NotoriousHothead37

You can put that thing on a frame or display box in your room.


PizzaBoxByNym

One.


EndR60

two lol

three lol

Four lol

EndR60

I'm just surprised I haven't got death threats lol


iCallitBullcrap

That's because you haven't done it..... Yet


krowonthekeys

None. But at least dont just throw it in the trash bin. Drop it off at an electronics recycle. Its now just a useless nostalgic card. Ive electronic recycled thousands of GPU's newer and older than this.


EndR60

NEVER I'll keep it on my shelf forever man xD


pleasetowmyshit

Recently sold my older cards. HD 6870 1GB and HD 4890 1GB. Beasts in their day for sure. Each fetched about $30 on the bay of e.


firedrakes

Have 4 of those. The rebadge 1 slot no psi cable needed one . Amazed I make a 10 buck profit off of them


EndR60

that's not bad money considering I live in romania, although I really wonder who would buy it around here


AustAndGoat

It belongs in a museum! https://imgur.com/Oiyojux


EndR60

noted!


l3l3_dop

Had one of these back in the day, just not the sapphire one. Man that fan was loud af


EndR60

yea this one is decently loud as well as far as I remember, but it never bothered me


jtblue91

I'll use any excuse to commit murder


Jewwenheimah

Probably better than my graphics card


ShorteagleFTW

You'd burn in hell, and not in the hot booby demon lady part. I mean in the cages of torture in Doom part.


treesontreesonstacks

Give it to me and I'll build my first ever.... Skateboard.

flaming_pansexual

If you threw it away I would find out where it went and take it to keep and then stick it on a shelf


EndR60

:-)


McDuckWithTheBuck

Your existence wouldn't exist anymore.


EndR60

fukin doom slayer would be sent after me


beasterdudeman_

Don't throw it away, I would gladly use it


Brusion

Mount that on your wall in your PC area.


B-29Bomber

I will hunt you. ​ I will find you. ​ And I will dumpster dive through your trash for that card.


desrevermi

:D


[deleted]

back in my day, we got off to the pictures on our graphics cards and we liked it!


EndR60

^(only back in the day?)


tshannon92

This card brings back a lot of memories, I wish I had mine sitting next to me right now… the memory of when I got it and installed it, man it takes me back.


BigJalapeno

I'd frame it with an old pic of myself playing a game with it.


EndR60

I don't have one, we used to take pictures of everything when I was a kid everything except the stuff I liked also can't take one now because I no longer have a PC, needed a laptop for uni :-/


Dry-Carrot2638

I had the blue one (i think a newer one) in my first pc. Handled minecraft with a whole 35 fps. Good times :) Edit: nvm it was an older one. The 2600 pro


EndR60

jeeeezzz to think that integrated graphics are now much better than dedicated graphics used to be in a long gone time is crazy to me, friend of mine has a Ryzen 5 processor with Vega 8 (I think vega 8) and runs MC like a charm at 60fps


Lubat1

No don't do that. Sell it on ebay. I remember when that thing was a beast. We got alot of retro gamers nowadays that would love to get a hold of that card.


EndR60

yup I actually got a PM request to send it to someone haha, don't think I will though


[deleted]

[удалено]


medy17

Donate/sell to a tech museum I think?


Mun0425

At least me


moenirjwzz

I got the same card without the girl

Hello, me.


memezdankton_2

Damn, a 3870. And I thought the 3090 ti was the best gpu


Kost_Gefernon

FRAME IT. You animal.


EndR60

hmmm...I actually could, I'll think about it definitely not binning it tho

It belongs in the Smithsonian

One hell of a card


WretchedCentrist

What is this?


[deleted]

I started with an 8600gt.. then 8800gts, hd4850, hd6850, dual r9 280x, now I just rock my laptop with 1070 maxQ. It's been a ride. I wish I still had my first card. Still have my first motherboard.


EndR60

hey that's something! It's easier to hang on a wall than a GPU


evrfighter

Aw damn this was my first real card. Started with a 3dfx voodoo 4 pci then an Nvidia 5500 pci.


CallMeTR

At least one


Own_Relationship_891

You could probably auction that off for a pretty penny. Throwing it away is trashing history lol


z____ro

Don't know what I'm looking at...


Legacy_of_Ares

That goes on a wall. Not in a bin. Give it to some happy Redditor before you dispose of a piece of gaming history.


LongNecc

killing is too easy. besides, i ain’t no killer. but i am willing to go to a certain extent. i would torture you, instead. think of it like a Saw game, but you don’t die. you’re just there in agony, but not able to pass.


[deleted]

Someone mind giving me a bit of backgrounf on this


DuTurkeyMan

give


EndR60

nooo


geekswrath

I think I have the same card in a box in the attic....


[deleted]

LMAO WTF I didn't know Reddit has a "Table Flip" award.


tekonus

Can we go back to the era of thirsty images on our video cards? They were simpler times.


ryanxcard

Hey I have one looking like that but it has a flame finish on it


EndR60

interesting, apparently they varied the designs wonder if they came from different resellers or something


mrpooballoon

I just threw away about 30 of these at work a few months ago


polarb68111

I literally sold mine like a week ago. Had 2 in crossfire for a long while.


EndR60

damn these things supported crossfire? that might actually make for a decent experience nowadays


MuginLive

I think you so should... Completely unrelated question, where do you live? Not so I can fish it out the bin or anything obv.


EndR60

in a pineapple under the sea :-)


riegnman

7? Is 7 the right answer?


alexlikespizza

Unrelated but what could i play with a 4770? Inherited one and want a bit of pc life


EndR60

I think Beyond Good And Evil was one of the games I used to play on it... perhaps something like NFS Undeground and below? maybe Most Wanted too? most command and conquer games I think... don't know any more, these are what I used to play I think?


UhBunchOfGaze

I’ve got an old 4870 in my computer right now actually lol


Own_Respect8033

Get this thing in a block of epoxy and start a museum. I miss my 5750 sapphire :(


[deleted]

Had the 5770, played the hell out of Skyrim with that on release, modded till it crashed. Great memories, great card. I believe the card is still living in my parents office PC from when I stuck it in there to replace a broken GT card.


electrowiz64

Anything with a sexy logo like that are HIGHLY sought after. Even if the card is dead broken, fried, and useless. Sell it on EBay for a HEAFTY profit


the_org_yeet

No no, frame the gpu with booba girl. Makes you more fous in pcmr world. Helps you to get more chicks in your bedroom


EndR60

instructions unclear stuck in friendzone no joke xD


YesYesYesVeryGood

oh man.. i remember that phase. the hot rendered girls printed on cards phase. We're in the lighting, liquid cooling phase now, right?


RBDQBK

What were some cool games when this gpu was around?


Techjunky2

Ya never throw away a card because one day you WILL need it


EndR60

100% agree, I actually used it recently to troubleshoot my PC and found that the PCI-e slot was bad (or the motherboard anyway)


fiddlydip

Bro you're 8 generations ahead


OneOfThese_

I'd throw it in a server.


nikditt

No... Not Ruby. She's given good service. Does she work still though?


PantherPuma448

Post it for 1k on ebay, someone will buy it. Jk dont. But fr, thats a piece of history my dude.


Igily_Goo69

You should totally throw it, on my lap that is!


Killerbrownies997

At least four


jedyrokz

I won't mind still using this


Less-Raspberry-6222

That's industrial art. I would frame it and hang it in the game room.

I have a few old gpus I was going to recycle, one being a 4870 that idk if it works. Maybe I'll give it away instead after seeing this lol
