This makes a GT 710 good graphics card.

Dawid: *buys worst video card
Seller: Yay, some idiot bought it.

You will be full of “Rage XL” when this gives you low FPS in your games

Used to work for ATI many years after this card came out, and found we were still selling tons of them (along with the Rage128). I asked around how this was possible, we had FAR better graphics chipsets at the time (Radeon 9700 and newer), and yet were still fabbing these things.

The answer was simple: servers. Many servers of the day used these chips as basic graphics chips to drive the local VGA connector.

I wouldn't be surprised if a not much newer successor was being used even today for VGA out on servers.

I'm not buying a new motherboard just for this card Dawid.

I spent 10 minutes of my life, watching a video on a GPU that I would never buy. Not only would I never buy it, I would never consider it, nor would I even look for it or even know it exists.

Plays minesweeper with this card, clicks mine, card explodes

I'm just impressed at the ability to use the VGA cable to support the card as you wave it around.

The new ibuypower prebuilts are definitely gonna have this now

YouTube after recommending dozens of 10000$ builds and showing me how bad my pc is
Here you go you can take a break now

I can't wait to try 1640:320 resolution 👀

my first GPU was a 4mb rage pro....and it turned my gaming world upside down and I never looked back to console. Jedi Knight @ 800x600 (might have been 1024x768) was mind blowing.

Idk how nvidia can keep the oldest, crustiest, shittiest cards in max stock, but they still struggle to keep everything else in stock.

I was cleaning out my attic and found an ATi Mach 64 from 1995. It pretty much had the same purpose as this Rage XL. Just a 2D accelerator. According to Techpowerup it runs on a 600nm process with 1 pixel shader and 1 ROP. Ultimate gaming power!

Litteraly most of the schools:
"I'll take your entire stock"

VGA actually has a few tricks up it's sleeve which makes it quite impressive, 1600x1200 16-bit is more of a limitation of the generic driver you are using, though this card might not be able to handle it. But I've managed to get up to 1920x1440i at something like 90hz on VGA, and it looks fantastic on an authentic CRT.

[chrisrudi]

This card is not intended for gaming, but for servers and industrial systems. The Matrox G200 is also still being produced and is used in industry and servers. These cards and chips from back then are robust, energy-saving and have proven themselves. So you can still buy them.

The trick with Windows XP is running your hdd controller in IDE mode and have 3GB of ram or less connected. Some motherboards have a OS type selection. Putting that to DOS/Linux tends to help on modern boards

[elliothunter]

The fact that at first i screamed "What, a GT 710" at first was not lost on me lol

[Felix-vehs]

0:24 there is no such GPU as a "GT 210" - only a "GeForce 210" :^)
