The cheapest graphics card on Amazon: Can I make it suck less?
#amazon #graphicscard #cheapest
I decided to buy the cheapest graphics card on Amazon to see if it's any good. I then overclocked the living crap out of it.

My proudest "overclocking" moment was back when I knew basically nothing about computers and "upgraded" my Radeon 9600 Pro to an nVidia 6500 or something. Was so long ago that I long forgot, and I don't even have that computer anymore. I was actually able to unlock GPU LANES in this card. It shipped with two of six lanes enabled. After finding the special utility, I was able to get two more lanes enabled. The last two lanes were actually defective, with one of them causing severe artifacting, and the other causing a point light to flash on screen before crashing the entire PC.

The better, (If I should call it that) of the gt 710 graphics cards. While some might say that it's a bad card, other things that are good about are the fact that it does what the onboard graphics card doesn't have to. For older model computers it actually increases and sometimes caps fps on games with direct x11 or direct x period.

I feel your pain. My 290X died a few days ago, currently on my backup GT210 until I can afford a new card. Its so painful, ive still got dbz kakarot to finish D:
DMS-59 is a legit input that is basically 2 vgas pushed together. Many early to mid 2000s cards use them in office machines.
Dawid saying "ghetto rigged" is the greatest sound bite of all time
Fun fact: I own a Zotac 710 graphics card, and it does in fact have a legitimate use. It is EXTREMELY cheap, and it comes in a version that fits into a PCIe x1 slot. If you build your own router (pfsense or linux or whatever) out of cheap hardware, you will soon find the urge to stick as many possible 1000 Mb/s NIC cards into the case as possible. This usually means using a board that has many PCIe slots, but also no onboard video. Sacrificing a x8 or x16 slot for a graphics card during initial setup basically undoes the advantages you got by having a board with so many slots (you will lose about 4 gigabit ethernet ports), so a cheap card only taking up a x1 slot is actually IDEAL in this particular use case.
"Because it's winter the ambient temperature in the room is very low". I think you'll need overclockled 2xR9 295 X2 crossfire + Threadripper 3990x type of setup to fix this. I like to keep my flat at cozy 22c no matter if it's -30c or +30c outside.
Oh man you so brightened my day here on the west coast of California. Man you really reached out lol (Only said that so you would know the Range of your Humor). That was so cool. Thank you for the video. 🙂👍👍
At 2:22 I was confused because I just turned around to grab some chips and then looked back at my phone and wondered if I'd accidentally rotated my screen 180 degrees.
How to Chuck Norris overclock a GTX 710 to get 400+ FPS in CSGO: Warning: very technical & expensive! 1. buy special non-conductive glue. 2. buy gtx 2080 ti. 3. glue gtx 710 to the underside of gtx 2080 ti as a additional heatsink.
LOL. I figured you would yank the passive cooler off and Chuck a heat sink fan on and heat sinks on the ram. Wiring s case fan to the card had me rolling. Kudos, card did better than I expected.
I bought this Card months ago for my Dell Optiplex 780 MT as I just wanted to try it with the only game I wanted to play (War thunder) and the integrated graphics weren't enough. So now with it, Im able to play at 80-55 fps in Ultra low quality on and Im pretty happy with it, I also use it for graphics design and it works well tbh. Its was the 1gb version but it worked enough for me with and low setting game when I couldn't spend more money.
So, this turned out to improve the gt710 from "dirty diaper found in your car" into "smelling a wet fart in an elevator". I wonder how much faster it can go.
Notice that this is a PCIe x8 card. This means it can work in some odd places where you don't have the full x16 physical interface available, for example on a motherboard where there is already a more powerful nVidia card in there and you need a few more displays than that card supports.
Do you do this to cut the production cost of the video when u keep it cheap?

Hey Dawid, you should try doing this to older cards, like the nvidia 8800 or 9800 cards. That should be interesting to see, and I look forward to it.
Very impressive to be honest... quiet the lil pixel pusher at the end of the day with some overclocking... be good for an emulation rig as long as ya keep it cool
get a soldering iron and make it get more voltage even if the BIOS tables says no :) I've been doing it for HWBOT for over a decade and it's a blast. anything NVIDIA Kepler or prior is easy to do, and on AMD anything prior to the R9 series is pretty simple. plus you can have more fun on older cards since you won't get upset when/if you kill them.
Chuck Norris over clock it! Please! External VRM, liquid nitrogen, do it all!
Btw, there is even a PCI-E X1 slot version of this card- arguably the worst version. I don't understand how there are still so many new examples of these old cards. You can still find new HD 5450s for example, a card that came out almost TEN years ago.

After turning those into RTX 2080 Ti Super cards which is pretty interesting.
My r7 250 XFX LP had 1.05Ghz boost clock, doing volt mod, bios mod, it managed to get stable 1450Mhz with 1100Mhz memory clock (DDR3/GDDR3 not sure).
It proves that manufactures put out GPU's that are basically throttled down so they can bring out a "new GPU" in a year that beats the old one..BUT...The "old one" can be over clocked to actually do what the new GPU can do performance wise. Intel has been doing this with processors for 30 years!
As the proud owner of an Utterly Leet Computing Behemoth (G3260@3.3GHz, 8gigs RAM (should have been 4gigs but I occasionally need to run a VM) and onboard Intel HD graphics featuring the GPU Colossus that is the Haswell GT1), running the very latest hardware-torturing games (mostly FSX and Duke Nukem 3D) I feel I must leap to the defence of the GT710 with the Shield Of Truthiness and The Sword Of Low-End-ability. And a couple of highly scientific benchmarks. It so happens that a 2GB GT710 came into my hands a few days ago, and here are the results garnered from my sophisticated test suite and protocols:- FSX (Fair weather, all graphics settings maxed, depart KLAX, 5 miles out & return). Intel HD - 12-17 fps with a target of 24, GT710 - 50-60 fps with a target of 60. Duke Nukem 3D (eDuke32, Hi-res Pack, Polymer, gibs set to 100). Intel HD - In flames /with a lot going on - 1-4 fps. Objects disappear during gib showers. GT710 - In flames/ with a lot going on - many more fps. Possibly even low teens. Fewer objects disappear during gib showers. I haven't tried overclocking it yet, I'm just using the nVidia Control Panel quick settings thing at max performance. Exciting times lie ahead! Oh, and it does 4K. I haven't tested that, I won't be upgrading to it for a few years yet... On a slightly more serious note, there are an awful lot of pc's still being sold to Joe Public with onboard graphics that are peed all over even by an elderly codger like the GT710. Considering the difference it makes to those systems compared to its price the 710 will have a market for a while yet. I'm keeping mine.

I think that's an issue with the GT 710. They pack it like a gaming card and people try to game on it. The real use of a GT 710 is when you have an elderly relative with an old Core 2 Quad with on board graphics so bad, it can't play KZread videos at higher than 480p(that's not a joke, this is from personal experience from my 70 year old dad's computer), but otherwise, runs perfectly fine for what they do. Drop in a GT 710, which has hardware video decoding up to 1080p and it's stopped the old coot going out and spending £400 on a new computer he doesn't need.
Heading over to my radeon hd 7850 2gb. lol. time to take its virginity. lol! Great vid. Always a good laugh, too.
No graphics cards were hurt in making of this video
Hey, I don't mind the GT 710. I got 100 fps on Minecraft with it, on an HP Elite 8000 sff PC, lol. I did get the 2GB GDDR5 version, at $50 USD. It was not bad for its price, and hey, it ran Fortnite at 30 fps on all low settings and low resolution, but at least it ran, and it was "somewhat" usable (I don't use it anymore, I have a much better gaming laptop now, but I still have that PC)
0:57 DMS-59 *is* a real thing And that pricing is totally reasonable for a poop card like that. That probably is a legit card. "Seems legit!" Also, FYI, DMS-59 is a display connector meant for driving 2 displays at once through a breakout cable :D.
Yeah, I don’t blame you for not going all out. When you have to solder your graphics card to life support, it’s time to just upgrade.
Bios modding the right 750Ti can give some great results. Over 1500MHz core clock is possible with the EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB FTW.
Very respectable overclock. I would love to see a GT 730 2 gigs ddr5 max oc. Thanks for the informative video Dawid!

It used to be you'd voltage mod a video card by putting a multi turn variable resistor between where the card is reading the voltage and where it's coming from. By increasing slowly the resistance in between the voltage feedback circuit thinks it's lower than it actually is and will add more voltage. You need a volt meter connected to know how much you're increasing it though.
There is a bit "B" in GB. Gb means gigabit. And there is a big "H" in Hz. Big "V" in V (as in short for volt).
People buy these things to be able to connect additional displays, there is no gaming in them whatsoever, that is also why they sell well. Point missed. They are geared at showing image on numerous displays after you run out of connectors in the motherboard, period. So, yes the 1 gig variant will be cheaper to make and the target market is happy, because it is even chaper.
I can't believe the GT710 is STILL selling. Even for a budget PC, there are better choices out there. But right now is probably not the best time to go shopping for GFX card bargains.
Thanks for the video. Kinda dissapointed didn't see it on fire :)
-Well, he's right, this might be a kinda boring video... *Puts fan on motherboard as cooling system for the card* *Serious Business Intensifies* -Oh wow, I'm now watching this thing, fuck yeah!
You don’t get it. The GT710 isn’t built for gaming at all so the frame buffer doesn’t matter. These are mainly used for port expansion in business PC’s. If you compare a Toyota Prius against a Lamborghini, the Toyota is a terrible car for racing but it’s built for solid economy.
That's hacky - but sweet. If one lowers the settings a little, that one might actually work.
