Buying The First Graphics Card I See On Craigslist...

I bought the first graphics card that showed up on my local Craigslist and it turned out worse than I expected.

the "weird connector" is for SDI, and the "S-Video connector" is actually for stereo 3D

At this point Dawid should just put together all of his haunted PC parts into a single system and finally complete his slip into madness

Your suffering for our entertainment will NEVER be taken for granted, Dawid! And props to Anna for engaging in the Craiglist Knife Battle with Silk Pajamas Man!

"Dawid Buys Haunted Tech" is the weirdest halloween content ever.

Dawid always delivers content no one ever asks for...prime chad

What you described around the 9 minute mark is what mechanics have to do with older rusty cars when something difficult to access needs repair. Funny stuff

[zenwheat]

I absolutely love the execution of your humor. I would listen to you talk about anything lol

That one cpu cooler at 7:58 looks wild asf

[devil]

The "heatsinked" memory chips are close to the VRM-part of the card and may get additional heat from there. So they gave them additional cooling. ^^

Hi! I know the reason why you had all of these problems! This is card was made for the 32 bits era and it was expecting to work along with 32 bits drivers. Which even though you was installing 32 bits drivers because the working environment around was 64 bits, there was some issue on the common files usage (which at the time video card drivers were using all the time). By example, if you had installed a 32 bits of Windows XP Pro instead of the 64 one (which by the way, the 64 bits version of XP is known to be problematic aka unstable in many situation as this is a not a TRUE 64 bits environment, so many conflict happens) since the start 95% of the problem you had would have been resolved by itself due to the plug and play nature of Windows.

I really love the look of the cooling shroud and fan. Sort of a mini-blower.

[jerryquesenberry]

That was fun fella!. How many of us have struggled for HOURS trying to set up a system & then had that 1 little idea pop into our heads that fixed everything. Suddenly, you are the next Einstein! Way to hang in there man!

[johankooistra]

Your persistence is really admirable! I can so relate to the error on error fixes . . . . .

Remember the little fans on video cards. Ah those were the days. Even better, passive cooling on the CPU. I remember when Pentiums required a fan (a FAN!) on the heatsink.

Now we're like 'eh, water cool it and it still hits 100C (looking at you Intel 13900K).

I really enjoy your videos - you always look like you're having a good time, even when you aren't!

I fell out of my chair when you pulled up lock on to test. I legit couldn't think of the name of that game for about 3 years and finally found it a week ago, and here you are just randomly out of the blue playing it only 1 week after I remember what it was called. This moment has convinced me we live in a simulation.

[magicmarger]

I think I've fallen in love with that X58 mainboard. Obviously the nicer part of all that grannies shown here^^

[jabezhane]

Watching the XP part was my life as a IT support guy back in 2009. Having to find the exact branded XP distro for the specific PC or laptop...some things have got better.

[theBabyDead]

Shit man, I wish you'd let me know!

I, for this exact reason, have kept EVERY SINGLE Windows installation since 3.11.

I literally have a bootable USB installer for WinXp over here. Damn. You should obviously have known this! ;)

[YourreelmemoriesAu]

I enjoy watching your problem solving in action Dawid. Sums up dealing with life in general which we can all relate to.

There’s something about the old Nvidia logo font that I love. There’s sort of a charm to it.
