Do you remember your most disappointing video card ever?

GhostRyder · Apr 28, 2017

Well, I have only had a few cards I would say disappointed me in some way. I guess the one that really stuck out was the GTX 460m in my Asus laptop. Got it on sale for a deal and thought it would be great for school and some light gaming even knowing it was a pretty low end card. Man at that time though I was not expecting it to be as low as it was (Even though it was already a little over a generation old). Could not get it to run anything decently on even the lowest settings. Realized I should have read up a little more on where it sat in performance and just returned it. Waited awhile longer on my old laptop and eventually got a laptop on special with a GTX 675m quite a few months later. Probably the only time I did not do much research when buying a GPU and the last.

Never had one personally.

My cards.

Hercules 3D Prophet II GTS Pro 64MB

ATI Radeon AIW 9700Pro/9800 Pro.

M18 (9800 256MB in Laptop)

HIS/Sapphire X1950 Pro 512MB AGP.

Sapphire R9 290 VaporX

My Brother had a GF MX4 (Worst Piece of $#1+). The GF control panel would freeze up on it, then BSOD randomly, it died.

My Grandpa's machine several years ago before he got an APU, had a Diamond ATi 2400, which died too. God bless his soul October 5, 1931-March 28, 2016.

Asus 9800GT w/ the glacier cooler (I think that's what they called it). I actually owned the Asus 9600GT with the exact same cooler in another PC and it ran great. This 9800GT card sounded like I shoved a dust buster on its last leg into my pc. If I throttled the fan RPM down the GPU chip would shoot over 100c instantly. I figured I received a bum card (maybe bad firmware) but I then looked at reviews on newegg and there was a whole slate of buyers having the exact same issue. RMA for a MSI GTS250 as it had just launched.

I owned that card in an old Dell PC, played WoW on it sometimes too back in the day. It was never intended to be a gaming card though.

That just means Asus used a cooler that was truly meant for the 9600 lol.

At that time custom coolers were all the craze, now they are slim to none...

Most disappointing graphics card purchase for me would have to be the Voodoo Rush.

Frag_Maniac · Apr 28, 2017

I've had...

Ti 4200 - $150
X800XT - $540
X1950 Pro -$190
GTS 250 - $70
7970 - $330

Worst ones were the X800XT and X1950 Pro, mostly due to ATI's crappy stuttering drivers. I'm definitely going back to Nvidia next time.

techtard · Apr 28, 2017

Worst gpu I ever owned was a pair of Radeon HD 3870 in crossfire. I had just gotten back into the pc scene and was out of the loop when it came to what was current and good. A good buddy of mine (who is a super AMD fanboy) talked up the new AMD Phenom platform and the new ATI 3870 and how they would go toe to toe with Intels and Nvidias high-end parts. Boy was he wrong.

One of the best was my trusty reference Radeon 5850, that thing overclocked like a beast. Ran it on the stock cooler for years, and upgraded to a Gelid icy vision cooler when the ref cooler died. Kept that for 4+ years with a heavy overclock from day 1.

Also had a used GTX 260 c215 that I was using in a linux machine. That was also a damn fine card.

AntDeek · Apr 28, 2017

Funny how the FX 5200 seems to be equally shitty across everyone who owned one in this thread. :roll:

KainXS · Apr 28, 2017

I remember upgrading from a Geforce 3 to a Geforce 4 MX and remember taking back the MX the next day after. Kept that for a while and then upgraded from the Geforce 3 to the 5200 and it was terrible but I needed a card with better DX support so I kept it. So I'm gonna have to go with the 5200, the one I had was a piece of sh*t. It actually made me stop buying Nvidia cards for myself(not for others though) until I got a XFX 7950GT AGP and unfortunately the bridge chips on them failed frequently.

I heard a hs or hsf on em fixed them, same with the 1950s lol.

The gf5200 was just a low budget card to begin with.

It could play NFSU at low settings fine but in compare to a 9700 Pro which could crank to max detail and resolution it made most want a 9700 Pro then.

Frag_Maniac · Apr 29, 2017

I'm trying really hard to not be superstitious since the 4k TV and Blu ray player I'm considering both have X800 in their model number like my X800XT, which I paid way too much for.

jboydgolfer · Apr 29, 2017

i loved NFSU. good times.

GTX210

INSTG8R · Apr 29, 2017

I had an FX5200 I think it was for like an hour. Returned it for a 9600XT been red team ever since. My 2900XT would be my most disappointing ATI/AMD card

No, there is\was a small voltage chip on the rear of them which got real hot. Don't know if the information is still available after all these years but a bunch of people had issue's with it, some put heat sinks on it.

My bad it was a eVGA 7800GT OCSC.

@Kanan
Did a little digging, been a while but i believe it was this chip

For me it would have to be NFS PU and Sports Car GT, there was some time with the Original Superbikes too.

Bla bla bla...

You can "research" all you want - it does not guarantee that you will get a faulty or buggy video card. I've researched enough to buy myself Asus GeFroce GTX560 Ti DirectCU II - it was supposed to be a cool and quiet card. It was nothing like that! It was one of the loudest cards i ever had. This thread is about sharing fun memories about unexpected video cards and their behaviors, and not for dull statements "do research before buying". It does not work this way in life guys.

This is what i am talking about:

My answer remains unchanged.

Faulty cards is not part of the question, since they are faulty. Buggy cards can be, if it turns out it's a CQ problem, or problem with a line of cards.

EDIT: BTW, this is what w1z says about that 560ti:

Idle fan noise of the ASUS GTX 560 Direct CU II is well optimized. Unfortunately the fan noise under load is not acceptable in my opinion - the reference design is much quieter.

That and the MX440, I think I counted it 5x now in this thread. :laugh:

afaik it was a GF2 rebranded as GF4. Talking about *really* bad marketing tactics, always remember that.

FordGT90Concept · Apr 29, 2017

MX440 was a unique chip (NV17, 150 nm) but it takes after GeForce 2 MX400 (180 nm) more so than any GeForce 3 or GeForce 4 Ti chip. It had no DirectX 8 support and they sold a lot of them through pre-built machines. Computer store sales people were all over the fact it was a GeForce but always neglected to mention that "MX" means it's shit.

It was like people buying Celerons (Durons) expecting them to run like Pentiums (Athlons). At least FX 5200 was clear that it was slower than the rest of the line.

Kanan · Apr 29, 2017

Yes, but the first gens of GeForce MX were quite nice budget cards, based on latest tech - the GF "4" MX440 was maybe the first one that was utter garbage with deceiving marketing tactics on top. First and last? I don't know of any MX GPUs after that.

OMG, if there is any worst case scenario in the history of PC performance, it must be this. Are you kidding me? It sounds so horribly that it's actually funny...

Never really dug into it, so non of the GeForce 4 MX series had any vertex pipelines at all, non of them supported DX8 API and non supported Open GL 1.3 API and the other specs of GeForce 4 MX cards were twice slower than the lowest GeForce 4 Ti 4200! It seems even GeForce 3 Ti 200 was better than the best GeForce 4 MX460 card. Lucky me i never had one. Back in 2001 my friend bought GeForce 2 MX400 specifically to play Quake II, and he was hugely disappointed. My other friend had a GeForce 3 Ti 200 card and i remember them comparing those in Quake 2 with GeForce 3 Ti 200 being so much superior and cursing his MX!

The durons were mean overclockers, but lets keep this on junk video cards lol

For me, like the majority, it was the FX 5200. Mine was a BFG. It sucked on every level.

In fairness though, one of my fondest memories will always be the Ti 4200. Stable, overclocker dream, cool. I remember attaching heatsinks to the RAM chips.
I think this is like one I had.

I can't help but laugh it was a FX 5200 I was upgrading from a Ti 4200. The 4200 was a better card....Owned the 5200 for an hour...
