Back in 2012 I bought a GTX 660 Ti "2GB"...should have got the HD 7950 instead for about the same price. 660 Ti had the same VRAM scandal as the GTX 970 where 512MB was inaccessible.

Not many knew how well AMD cards would age. If this was AMD's target, they succeeded in creating a great old legacy. And considering what FSR is doing, I would say it's a big W.

Yea I would have gotten this, had the power been available. They draw more power but run quite a bit cooler than most older AMD cards, at least with this design. I ran one up until the launch of Fallout 4 and it ran anything I wanted it too. Upgraded to a GTX 980 because fallout 4 would tank FPS once you built up big settlements due to VRAM limits

@@HardWhereHero I remember a few months before that I bought a HD 7850 and returned it because the coil whine was insane, so went back to NVIDIA. That 660 Ti was crap, and a loud reference model no less. For less than £10 more I could have got a dual fan Sapphire HD 7950, and I already had a crazy overkill Corsair 850w PSU due to even more bad previous decisions so power wasn't an issue :^)

Great video as always! I remember having one and I had good times with it. I liked HIS GPUs. Quite a unique look and cooling design. It would be awesome to see dual CPU x99 benchmarks to show which games benefit from it or not. Would be a beast of a machine if running 2x 2699V4 CPUs, whew. I can imagine it now. I'm thinking of getting a dual CPU x99 since the boards are becoming quite cheap these days. Seems like it would be a lot of fun. Not many do such videos and it could be quite interesting. Keep em coming bro!

the closest i can get to this idea is with my HP Z600 that has 2 lga 1366 cpus. i`m trying to find a cheap cooler for that machine because it requires a big fan if you pass 100w tdp on the CPU.

wish that blower style design was still a thing today that thing was chilling under 75 celcius for a gpu that eats up 200 watts. had a blower style 3070 that at 220 watts it was over 80c sometimes sure this blower style design would have handle that 220 power draw with ease.

1 suggestion. If You test CS2, test it either with competitive or lowest settings and low res (720p, 1440x1080, 1024x768). Most of us play the game like this, and it would be really interesting to see which old cards can hold. Love Your videos

@@DanielCardei I would do whatever i can to have at least 100fps min on 5vs5 match, because on 80- fps i can feel lag. So i would even go below 1024x768 because even on 800x600 my CRT still holds :) I think That You can easily test 5vs5 with bots using Your i7 cpu, assuming it can hold 100fps (mine 3570k non OC can on mirage and d2 for example). BTW worst case scenario for GPU is when You throw HE grenade into the smoke. Global Shadow Quality and Ambient Occlusion are the only options worth increasing because You than can see player shadows, but they are pretty taxing for older GPUs, and i personally would play without them if they decrease my fps below 80.

You said yourself that those drivers were probably affecting the performance a little That's most likely what's causing the core clock to dance around all over the place. Especially if you let windows update install the drivers. HIS made some crazy designs. I think they went out of business around the r9 280 era. That's the most latest card I can find by them. Also, have you ever seen a HIs Nvidia GPU ?

Hi Daniel! Thank you for another great benchmark video. I was wondering, could you please show us in future where you store all these GPUs in details. I also collection 50+ different generations GPUs and I found difficult where to store them properly. I even bought whole drawer from IKEA to keep them all together.😂
