[WTB] Can u lend me ur old cards for a few days ?

wolf2009 · Jul 15, 2008

Ok here's the deal, i need to make comparison between old cards with new drivers . Can u lend me ur cards for a few days or a week ?

Y i want to do this :

well the thing is , some people dont play all the new games , they only play wow, starcraft . so those people just need the old cards , the most basic card .

and if they look online to see wat other games they can play with that card , they will find 2 year old reviews . i would like to remedy this situation, and make a one stop comparison for those few . they can look at it and say this card is better than this . now many reviews dont compare HD2600xt to some other older cards . thats y i want to do this

Cards Required :

Nvidia -> 7800GT to 8600GTS

ATI -> X1650XT to HD2600XT

I'll pay the shipping .

You will not get ripped off.

Cards Tested :
7800GTX, thanks to Bogmali on TPU
x1950XT, thanks to Dr. Dr. Spankenstein on TPU
7600 GT
7900GT , thanks to Clipperfix on Anandtech for donating this ( didn't work , 3d is busted )
8600GTS

Test System :
Intel Q9450 || GIGABYTE EX-38 DS4 || GeIL 4GB 800Mhz DDR2 (2x2GB) || Corsair TX650 ( Ultra 600W Pro as backup ) || Creative X-Fi Xtreme Music || WD 640AAKS 640GB

I can send you an 8600GTS but that's the only card on your list we still make.

and so it begins....

flclisgreat · Jul 16, 2008

i have a x1950xt, it may be dead though...

Xazax · Jul 16, 2008

I got a 2600XT GDDR4 coming, soon.

Palit_Guy · Jul 16, 2008

It would also be interesting to see the same card improve over a long period of time by updating drivers only.

no chance of reviving them ? or no other cards ?

thanks for posting though !

Kursah · Jul 22, 2008

Well...once my GTX260 shows up I may be willing to send ya my x1950xtx...it's gotta custom BIOS, custom fan profiles, vGPU increased to allow for OC, right now at about 720, memory at 1080 (dunno why, but the gDDR4 on this board doesn't like going further w/o way more voltage...and in RaBiT...ya can't increase the vMem, so I didn't worry too much). It's got an AC S1 Cooler w/Turbo Module, MX-2 applied...I thought the card was going south...turned out to be a driver issue lol! Oh well GTX will be here by the end of the week, so the damage is done!

I'll keep ya posted about the xtx though if you're interested! It'll be my backup card, but it can take a beating! :toast:

I have a 7600GT sitting here, if you want to try that.

Wozzer · Jul 29, 2008

I have a x1600 PRO 512MB - If you wish to borrow...

Cybrnook2002 · Jul 29, 2008

I have a 6600GT from point of view. PCIe

wolf2009 · Jul 29, 2008

@ Kenshai - Thank You , but i already own a 7600GT .

@ Wasley - Thank You , that card will work . I'll contact you when i need it.

@ Cybrnook2002 - Thats too old . Also you are in Austria, shipping is going to be way to much .

bogmali · Jul 29, 2008

I have 2X7800GTX that I am not using at the moment.

Dr. Spankenstein · Jul 29, 2008

I have a 1950XT that currently is collecting dust. It's still got a Tyee block strapped to it though...I'll dig for the IceQ3 cooler, if you're interested.

Great little card that hasn't seen action in a while...

wolf2009 · Jul 29, 2008

Thats great guys, send them in .

@ Dr. Spankenstein - is x1950xt same as x1950 xtx ?

Exceededgoku · Jul 29, 2008

This is by no means me giving it away (yet) but would you be interested in a HD2900XT 1Gb?

Dr. Spankenstein · Jul 29, 2008

Pretty much. IIRC, they both have 256bus and GDDR4.

...but I've been wrong before. :eek:

1950XT has GDDR3 not GDDR4, but that's the only difference, for all intents and purposes the 1950XT and 1950XTX are the same deal. Same GPU core, bus width, everything, and when I bought mine the price difference was far too much to warrant GDDR4.
