WAIT! Its very possible the GTX 580 and HD 6950 still work. Those GPUs require CSM to be enabled or a legacy bios in order to post. They will not boot with the typical UEFI mode.
Underrated comment. @ToastyBros needs to see your comment.
Yessss!!
Couldn't get the display out on my 1950xtx on "modern" 1155 platform.
But got it working with an 775 one.
@Toastybros
Everyone bump this comment
Once you flash them to the latest bios they will support uefi. On my z420 workstation I couldn't get a display in uefi mode so I flashed the old quadro to the latest bios and now it works.
Always plug a card in for testing by using multiple display connections, a card could have a dead hdmi port but the display port works fine or vice-versa.
Haven't watched the video yet, but if it's the old and and Nvidia cards, circa around 500 series by Nvidia, it won't support uefi with the release bios on the card. Once you update the bios it'll work with uefi.
I bought 6lbs of GPU in December when I bought my 4090 lol
nah.
@@montreauxs Strix 4090 weighs 5.5lbs or do you not believe that people buy them?
@@danr.1299 you said it, i don't believe that people buy them.
@@danr.1299I think he thought you were trying to say you bought one of these bundle deals and got a 4090 out of it lmao
Bad idea? This was a great idea and an awesome video!
Check the listing and tell me they aren't deliberately misleading people. You can't show a box with 30lbs of GPUs in it for a listing for a 10lb box. They also have a misleading listing title, mentioning GPUs that are significantly newer than the ones they are actually selling. If you have 'RX 580, GTX 970, Quadro P1000, GTX 1060' on the listing but are selling GTX 600 series and HD 6000 series GPUs, it is a blatant violation of eBay listing policy. It is a bait and switch.
The fact the Toasty Bros are an affiliate of this seller is just confirmation of what I already knew - they're a couple of BS artists. The fact they didn't have a rigged box is baffling. They are so far into their own hype, they can't even realize they are helping to commit fraud and doing it in the least intelligent way possible. This loot box crap has to stop. It is unlicensed gambling that primarily targets and exploits minors and young adults.
Nice job, guys. Those old Quadro cards are hard to kill. I have a closet full of them, and my Workstations get along very well with them. I was SO happy to see that 970 come to life for you... I think you did very well all things considered. Great content as always! 👍👍
Yeah,windforce is a king of that era of cooling!!
Yes, since they're designed to do heavy work, and because how they are designed, they all using DisplayPort since unlike HDMI, it will provide much bigger bandwidth and without some display data compression
Hard to kill because they are made to render video or do CAD, not game. So they aren't pushed as hard as their gaming equivalent would be and are also going to have high binned silicon. If you bought one at the original MSRP, you'd get what I mean.
@@Lurch-Bot Exactly. Specially the P2000 was a card that was only $100 off of the 1080 on release. And the 1080 was the best Nvidia had to offer since the Ti came out later. At that price point it's gotta be quality.
Hey man! Good video and no it is not a bad idea, maybe you should do a part 2?
I love the video guys, I hope to see more interesting videos in the future. I recommend an actual test bench so there is no need to place into case.
1) Card that have no display, always test in both, AMD and Intel systems.
As example, I have gigabyte 1080 - intel machine (from core2duo to 10th series I5 and anything between) - no display. AMD - works absolutely fine in every amd system tested it.
Friend been using it bout year and have had no complaints.
2) If no display, clean card and check haven't someone used conductive thermal paste (usually silver colored). Got quite few working with just some cleaning.
3) Often its bad/corrupt bios. Use as secondary card and see is it recognised by gpu-z and windows and as what it shows up.
4) Very common fault, people managed to knock of some cap that are right next to pci-e interface. Sometimes easy to replace but if its gone with traces, not easy.
5) Legacy vs UEFI is prob with older cards.
6) For any case, test all outputs of card. Rare but seen cards where hdmi dont work but DP does and vice versa.
I did this a few weeks ago, but my video production is way worse than yours. Great video!!
The p is pascal m is maxwell and the k is kepler. The m4000 should be the best of the bunch. The p2000 equals out to a 1050 ti. The m4000 equals out to a gtx 980 and thats the best card of the group.
Some of the K quadro were first gen Maxwell. Like the 750ti.
the p2000 is comparable with preformance to 1650
@@paulbeers4105 Yup, the K620 for instance was a Maxwell card, roughly equivalent to the GTX 745. The K2000 is a Kepler card, the K2200 is a Maxwell card. Keeping these things straight is a challenge.
According to userbenchmark - and the Bros own testing here - the M4000 isn't as fast as the P2000. Games that really use the additional 3 GB of memory on the M4000 might be different, but generally the newer architecture matters a lot. The M4000 also benchmarks much lower than the 980, it's more like a 970 with more VRAM but less power.
@paulbeers4105 no the only card in the 7 series that was not kepler was the 750ti made later is maxwell 2.0
Interesting video and concept ... had no idea that you could buy GPU's "by the pound"! You could improve your test bench PC by putting in a CPU that has video capabilities, then you could connect via internal GPU and at least see if the GPU card is detected.
The listing for these violates eBay T&C. They claim you'll get much newer GPUs. It is also a dumb scam because they made the Toasty Bros an affiliate and still sent them the oldest, crappiest GPUs they have. Bet they don't even have any P1000s, 1060s or RX580s like they claim so they couldn't stack the deck. They likely sold those separately after taking their photos. This whole deal is pure fraud. It is also unlicensed gambling which is forbidden on eBay. People who legitimately sell broken GPUs in bulk for parts or repair on eBay tell you what you're getting and 'GPUs by the pound' isn't how they are sold. It is a loot box, has a misleading listing, with misleading photos and violates at least 3 major elements of eBay T&C. I know this because I've legitimately sold numerous GPUs on eBay.
Can't wait for the Asmongold vid on the downfall of the Toasty Bros. The fact they're promoting Jawa is a bad move on Jawa's part and, as a seller on the platform, I'll be sending them an email on why they need to stop using them for sponsorship. Jawa is a legit platform and it isn't a good look being promoted by a couple of shysters.
Love the vids
SO GLAD UR DOING MORE SIEGE BENCHMARKS
That was a fun video! I think doing stuff like this on occasion is a good idea!
Nice vid, you can use quadros for mining.
Quadro P2000 is like RX570 in performance but in a more power-efficient low TDP card that requires no extra cable. Also, you can put a GTX 1060 FE or similar coolers to it for better cooling. I just got my two P2000s with GTX 1060 FE coolers running in software SLI.
The p2000 isn't close to either of those cards.
@@zar7511 it is closest to an rx570 with minimal difference in performance.
@@vncnthgy it is not even close. Owning a p2000 and RX 480, the gaming performance isn't even close, perhaps workstation uses the Quadro is better along with more stable FPS. This is why it scores similarly in synthetic benchmarks. Gaming, no it does not.
@@zar7511 I own a small shop that sells used PC parts. I also have a couple of p2000, gtx1060, rx570 and rx580. I constantly benchmark every card that goes in and out of my store and save some of the results. The P2000 and the RX570, I'd say, are close to each other, while the gtx1060 and rx580 are better, but there is still not a very huge gap. Also, if you search for the p2000 on techpowerup, you can see the rx570, besides the p2000, in relative performance. Sure, some cards will perform better than others, but gaming isn't the only use case of a GPU. Some games aren't equally optimized to run every single card available.

Is this a repost or did someone else do it? I swear I saw this video title like 3 days ago
Those other gpu's are probably fine. You need to check the bios settings, boot to an igpu to start, and make sure to remove any old drivers etc. Also try other cables and ports on the cards too, and even re-set the cmos.
Wow, I ran a 650 ti boost for way too long, upgraded to a used 970 during the last crypto boom. I feel like it punched above its weight class for the most part.
Just sold one potato pc with one loke this, but with a better cooler.
Ngl, I kinda like this type of content once in a while❤
K2000 = kepler, M2000 = Maxwell, P2000 = Pascal. Hence the up tick in performance.
I used to hear people call K series Maxwell, how can it be Maxwell, they consume so much more power and the clock speeds are so low.
My old gaming rig was a Thinkstation p410 cad station that had a Xeon 6 core, 32gb ddr4, and came with a Quadro P4000 8GB that was super capable with old 1080p games. I used it for years til I swapped it out for a 1080ti.
P4000 is almost a 1070.
I was thinking about buying one of these lots to start trying to repair them
these prices are wild
I had an old HIS 6850. Tore it apart, cleaned it, put new thermal paste on it and put it back in a box. I remember when i got that card i was so happy to get it. My card looked just like that.
Reducing e-waste and providing cheap working options as well as good entertainment. Nice one.
I feel sorry for anyone who has to resort to using a GTX 660 to play Fortnite. Great GPU...for playing games that are more than a decade old.
Quadros were so often used in a managed IT setting. Someone kept them going and often retired them early.
Not to mention being made to last from the start, with an original MSRP which reflects that.
Maybe the windforce card was in 0db fan mode? at lower temps they are just off. My Gigabyte GTX 1080 was like that, and it'll turn on under load.
Edit: Yup got to the end haha I guess it works :)
Can you test the m4000 with drivers? It’s pretty much an undercooked 8gb gtx 970
not sure, but that cable pigtail off the card looks like a bnc connector, can be used for antenna's or video input from camera's > wonder if its a video capture solution?
That WD-40 is good for cleaning and it does provide some short term lubrication, but it’s not long term lubricant and probably shouldn’t be used for this purpose. Please get something designed for the job. 👍
Everytime these guys make a video it's funny and entertaining
the 6950 can be unlocked to a 6970 unlocking another 100+ GPU stream processors after flashing bios
Quadro P1000 and P2000 worth reselling still, the P1000 especially if you include the low profile bracket. It's not a T1000 but it's still kinda usable.
If fans dont work, they do have gpu coolers that plug into another pcie slot beneath the gpu and have thier own fans to cool the gpu. Designed for passive cooling gpus, it could work for a modern gpu that isn't too high-end
what beginner pc should i get i have nothing but a desk
Just because the last .5 of the vRAM on a 970 is slower than the rest doesn't mean it ceases to exist.
You should do this every so often but not too often cuz it really is a gamble
DID that deep cool little display work for you guys?? i get nada.
You guys should make a video making computers only using fb market place and eBay, spin the wheel for challenges, budget, game, fps
I have one of those Windforce 970's... the fan shroud just looks like it is bent, it has always looked like that. Weird card, but you can replace all 3 fans for about $10.
were these bought anonymously
do this for cpus next aha dats gonna tuff im sure if it possible
Don't diss the gtx950. I just upgraded from mine this month. It ran avatar frontiers of pandora at around 30fps...stuttery but still played. I was impressed.
That beard trim👌🏽
Use ACF 50 on bearings, it’s original made for aeroplanes electronics
Man I wish I worked there
That exact model GTX660 you got was the very first video card I ever used in a video editing machine :) I still have it although I have way WAY better gpu's kicking around and do not use it ever.
Now you can have a collab video with Northwest repair channel. 👍
Hey toasty bros can u guys review the Thermaltake - Quartz i350 R4 Gaming Desktop idk if it is good or not???
@ToastyBros How did you carry that load of GPUs...
I have to admit i would never buy a box like that because i would be too worried about getting ripped off. The gtx 970 was a nice pick up and for a cheap PC for some kid is fine. The quadros are always interesting as i don't know that much about them.
I put 5w30 in my laptop fan bearing after cleaning them will isopropyl and its been working for over a year.
Alot of those 580 were used for mining and may need a gaming bios flash worth a shot if its worth it just like most cards that where used for mining they could just have a wrong bios on it reason for no display
Whaaat???
They,and the predecessor were known to run darn hot!!!
It, unfortunately can be just a "burned out" gpu....
@DuneRunnerEnterprises i said worth a try ive flipped manny 570 n 580 they were listed as parts only and need a bios flash to regular gaming bios from amd
There's an easy way to verify that but the Toasty Bros don't seem to know what they're doing. They affiliated themselves with a multiple listing rule violating eBay listing. Couldn't even properly stack the deck, they're so lazy. This is a scam. People who legitimately sell bulk GPUs for parts or repair tell you what you're getting. I also didn't see too many 580s here, unless you meant GTX 580s, lol.
some decent gpus, the quadros are ideal for some 4k video, to revive some pcs and make them into decent htpcs
6:30 those p series cards can easily flatten those gtx 5xx 6xx 7xx cards and stand toe to toe with some of the gtx 10xx series
Those Quadros are supposedly good for Plex servers for doing transcoding.
I've also had better luck with AMD desktop class cards vs Nvidia desktop class cards for durability when I used to work at a computer repair shop. Server/CAD class cards from both companies are quite solid though.
2:45 omg thats the same design that my 4gb gtx 960 has 😄
Hey I game on a HP Z4 G4 with the P2000 in it. With low settings I'm getting 90 FPS in Warzone and average about 65 FPS in low to med settings in other games.... now I'm not going to be playing cyberpunk or anything but I was very surprised by it's performance for games...
The quadro p2000 is probably so expensive because a lot of people use them in plex/jellyfin servers for dedicated gpu transcoding
@@user-vs3tx9lv5c I'm talking the current market value when they looked up the price after they unwrapped it and wondered why an ancient workstation card was still around $100-$130. Nvidia limits non quadro cards to one stream of transcoding unless you use modified drivers
yeah I used one in my plex server,
the P quadros didnt have the driver transcoding limits like the 10 series cards.
when you said dvi made you feel old I am 21 and can relate smh first pc ever had dvi :(
I have quadro m2000 and these models are not to be underestimated. For an old model, I played Fortnite with no problems. By the time they hit the market they had quite a few bits unlike the others. The M2000 is 128-bit and supports 4k. I was really hoping for the ATI HIS version to go. I had an older model and I know that HIS models are much more powerful than normal models. I have tested and it is a fact for me. But unfortunately you are out of luck 😢
That P2000 is $120?? I was going to buy one 2 years for like $400. They're still amazing for a media server.
You use WD-40 to help the bearings? WD-40 is a d-greaser not a . Are they none grease bearings in the cards?
Hey, I mean for 100 bucks. I’ll just buy it because why not if they work that’s cool if they don’t work that’s also cool cause I would like to keep them as like a collectors or item. Like I feel like it would be a good desk piece or like you could hang it up on the wall or put on a shelf somewhere so it’s a win-win.😊
I paid a hefty amount for a p2000 for use in a Plex server back before people figured out how to bypass the transcoder limits on GeForce cards
the 970 fan will come on at certain temp is reached
I've got two 660s and the SLI bridge still....better times
08:57 some of this card just start spinning the fan when it starts getting some heat, and it can just turn one on, and then when it gets warmer it turn on the others as well, at least my 1070 is like that so
gtx 580 wire is probably a cable to inject digital audio into the hdmi signal
That doesn't make any sense. Anyways, that's not an audio cable and that card did not come stock like that.
I had a GTX 570 back in the day and it didn't have that cable. Those cards never had RGB back then too.
HDMI already has audio.....
@@mccalejk2 15 years ago it did, that cable could be from a certain sound card model, people still bought sound cards in 2010 when the 580 was popular
@@Vorsm it existed to inject the sound for a DVI>HDMI adapter, the cable in the video could be from a specific sound card that was popular back in 2010 when the 580 was released.
Quadro 2000s r typical OEM placeholder cards for GPU upgrade provided from Nvidia in a bundle of goods and offered up as sales close incentive especially the Kepler; place holder. For display out and IT swap out at end use sale. Box of broken GPUs, to risky for me. mb
That test bench looks new.
Old cards dont work in eufi.
Try old pc, or turn on csm.
Some new boards dont even have csm anymore.
Awesome , more Seth Rogan and Michael Cera, Great job on the channel !
for me its always the old crappy cards that work lol it seems like they were built to last or the fact they're so low power they never were ran hard just makes them run forever. I bought a box like this locally for way less and got more cards and basically all the 8600 gts or whatever worked, and some of the 5000 (old) series amd cards worked fine
P2000's are used by many that run plex media servers, as they have unlimited transcoding abilities
Those p2000 5gb quadros go for $150 all day on eBay , I know , I'm selling 4 of them 😜
Did you ??
You can TRY TO sell 'em,but the people got to BUY 'em.
Good luck.
I have that exact same G1 970 and it’s a great card… BUT…. It has huge sag. It works but it sags a lot and you can see it outside of the case so it’s permanently sagged
100% fan speed at pc startuo jump scare is real
OK idk if it was specified,but that was silicone spray... please don't use regular WD40 people.
the evga 650ti is a gpu in today that i would pay 200 300 for just to use as a low budget gaming pc or for some work. and is display port bettter than hdmi even for if your gaming because i always heard people say hdmi is only meant for tv's and dp is meant for pc only
The Quadros was well worth it alone.
BTW, if you are booting into Windows 11, firstly make sure that GPU have UEFI BIOS or you had to bypass Windows 11 CSM Support!
you neee to enable CSM for 580, 650 ti, 660 and HD 6950
they have no uefi vbios
how do i even do this where do i buy returns in a bulk
oh nvm i saw😭
Collab with @northwestrepair to get those dead cards resurrected?
Please retest the quadros with proper drivers..
i have a gtx 570 and it wouldn't display until I install drivers on Windows
Got one monstrosity of 570 ,and it's loosing driver, during play.
But when it works...
It's rather a good one.
Takes flipping pounds to a whole new level XD
8:05 thats not really a test bench at all lol
You know there is a problem when you are buying graphics cards by the pound
The Quadro p2000 alone is a breakeven card.
has a spinning feature lol me using an acer V236HL as my main monitor lol
I saw this eBay listing
Wouldn't have gave $100 if all the cards were guaranteed to work.
The HIS card originally retailed for $300 in 2010
I love watching GPUS vids I cant afford
Hey bros keep up the cool videos! DO NOT USE WD-40 USE 3 IN 1 OIL WD 40 IS MORE OF A SOLVENT NOT A LUBRICANT! Believe me I'm old AF and know from experience.
why you gotta be sus at 0:10 😭
Quadros will survive any apocalypse…
K2000 is a GTX 650
