I found what I am convinced is the worst "Video card" that you can buy on Amazon.com
I then tried to game on it.

This makes a GT 710 good graphics card.
*A ultimate beast**
Gt 710 is a great card. I have one in an emulation machine and it handles old games perfectly
I know right. 😂
@@DawidDoesTechStuff yes - GT 710 isn't "bad" hardware. It's just really basic and cheap. But if you're not gaming and just want a video adaptor, it's ideal. Or if you're retro-gaming, Or just playing low-demand games it's fine.
It's like arguing the Dacia Sandero shouldn't exist because the BMW 3 series is much better and everyone should just buy one of those.

I spent 10 minutes of my life, watching a video on a GPU that I would never buy. Not only would I never buy it, I would never consider it, nor would I even look for it or even know it exists.
nothing speaks weak ass video card like a pci slot which no modern day pc comes with those old pos slots anymore
I bought it this card, 22 years ago!!!
10 mins and ONE SECOND!!
@@raven4k998 That's where you're wrong, PCI may not be as common as it was in the 90's and 2000's but there are still modern motherboards with it
That’s the whole point….. this video is entertainment
Used to work for ATI many years after this card came out, and found we were still selling tons of them (along with the Rage128). I asked around how this was possible, we had FAR better graphics chipsets at the time (Radeon 9700 and newer), and yet were still fabbing these things.
The answer was simple: servers. Many servers of the day used these chips as basic graphics chips to drive the local VGA connector.
I wouldn't be surprised if a not much newer successor was being used even today for VGA out on servers.
I confirm.
I worked for a company that had racks of servers with this king of cheapo video card just to get a console to display on an rack monted screen nearby. Some also had vga to rj45 converters, presumably for remote kvm access. Tons of ewaste when they upgraded a few years back.
Ltt showed an m.2 gpu for this purpose.
A modern day commercial equivalent would be a Headless plug Its a plug where there is no cord its just a plug with a video processor so you can out put a digital display that can be sent to a device to moderate it. Of course that's if its a device/server with its own built in GPU, as modern Day Graphics Cards do not have the option to output a digital display on there own. So a plug is needed to. If its not then its going to be a weak economic GPU/A Reclaimed GPU. Where your getting it to drive the server terminals and nothing more in which case any GPU even one pulled from older devices like old/broken laptops, and computers in theory can be wired to stand in to serve that purpose.
But it doesn't make sense even for that purpose anymore. The GT 210 has a D-sub connector and it can be had for like $20 new with a guarantee that it works.
The old 2D cards are just too old. They cannot even run a modern GUI properly.
Besides, modern server boards have a very basic onboard SoC that handles the VGA output and all the remote access and what not. So there is no need for a GPU at all in the system.
Yep, I assume that these are for servers or retrocomputers. The retrocomputers that want the real experience of gaming without the best possible technology of the time.

This card is not intended for gaming, but for servers and industrial systems. The Matrox G200 is also still being produced and is used in industry and servers. These cards and chips from back then are robust, energy-saving and have proven themselves. So you can still buy them.

Your XP endeavours may have been hindered by the use of SATA drives. You might have needed to check whether your bios chipset instructions were set to IDE mode and not AHCI mode.
and you thought you couldn't buy products from 1998 new on amazon you thought wrong kid
He could have installed Windows XP in virtual machine and then instal drivers.
Makes sense
That, or just not using an SP3 image. SP3 was a little more stable when it came to fancy SATA devices.
you need easy2boot dpms if you want to install windows xp with usb on ahci mode. philscomputerlab made a video
This is nostalgia for me. Although i didn't own this particular card model, I have had several ATI cards aimed for 2D work, like hardware video encoding and stuff.
The trick with Windows XP is running your hdd controller in IDE mode and have 3GB of ram or less connected. Some motherboards have a OS type selection. Putting that to DOS/Linux tends to help on modern boards
well, that and don't use a faulty hard drive.🤣🤣🤣

VGA actually has a few tricks up it's sleeve which makes it quite impressive, 1600x1200 16-bit is more of a limitation of the generic driver you are using, though this card might not be able to handle it. But I've managed to get up to 1920x1440i at something like 90hz on VGA, and it looks fantastic on an authentic CRT.
Actually impressive, are there videos of people pushibg the limits of dated video cables? Like supervideo or even component

@@krypton7900 My 2nd monitor only has VGA input which I feed into my GPU with a VGA to HDMI adapter, no issue hitting 1080p for the good chunk of years I've had it running... is VGA output from a 2080 Super overdoing it?

Technically, you can't keep calling this a _GPU_ (or even the ATI term _VPU_ ) as the RAGE series is comparable to nVidia RIVA series, and predates Hardware T&L.

Yea I was entertained as always by the video, but he was definitely showing his age here. Old ATI stuff deserves better than being torn apart like this decades later. Who knows, I doubt the RTX 2080ti will be able to run Holograph titles in 2051 so this is a bit unfair
When I was a student I had an ATi Rage 128, 8MB in my gateway PC. I played The Sims, Monster truck madness 2, StarCraft, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. Fun times. Then one of the 2MB chips died and it started artefacting in 3D mode. I still keep it to this day, poor thing.
Oh man, that beings me back. Never had the Rage, but had a Matrox Mystique (years earlier) and then a TNT 2. Always wanted one of the Voodoo 2 cards. Weird times then, going from 2d accelerators to 3d.

The title was cut off, and I was excited about the prospect that you might have scored an S3 Virge, my first 3D "accelerator" card
I purchased this GPU and it served my needs perfectly! I needed a PCI GPU to boot into my NAS' bios (Xeon E3 1230v2 has no integrated graphics, and my mobo didn't have PCI-e). If you read the reviews, you'll see that most people purchase this card for similar reasons.
so your nas is so old it supports 16 bit color?

@@Ciffer-1998 Because it is a NAS, and that card is there as a cheap way for Synology/QNAP/other to provide some form of expansion. Not sure when they started putting in PCI-E, but if the nas is 5 years old, then yeah. PCI all the way baby
@@Ciffer-1998 It's called motherboard dude...
I had a card similar to that back in ‘98, paired with a VooDoo for the proper 3D stuff.
Honestly back in the Win 9x days having a display adapter with an 8 megabyte frame buffer, for 2D/Windows stuff, would’ve been really nice.
Like you say pre-2000 games it’ll be fine, when installed on period correct hardware. It should play nice with Doom and Duke 3D for example.
Well for a server (at least for most use cases), it would do the job, as you just need a video output and nothing more than that. The other thing is, that my server requires a PCI Express video card, so I had to go for the famous GT710.
I had a ati rage 8mb with my pentium 3 400mhz and ran gta, quake and unreal tournament, gpolice absolutely fine, this was with windows 98 se, res was 800 x 640, the drivers have to be manually installed for everything 1 by 1 even on XP, would take half a day, a voodoo 2 was added via pci and was amazing.
i fell of my chair laughing when you showed "it was essentially the gt710 of 1998" with that face
When I made that connection I also couldn't stop laughing. 😂

Im sorry to hear that your are offended. I am joking in these videos and I understand that everyone has different access to hardware. All hardware is beautiful and if what you have plays the games that you want to play. Then that's the only thing that matters.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff yeah, i used to play on a 14 year old laptop with a Single core CPU and no gpu and it was a BAD System, but i had fun, and thats what matters
That BSOD was a stop 7B. It is an inaccessible boot device. You can get that if you install Windows XP from a USB stick, are in RAID mode, etc... You may just need to find the mobo drivers for SATA and use F6 to load them during Windows setup. You may also want to be sure you have an XP SP3 install disk with those SATA drivers.
You can use xp drivers on win 7. Did that many a times back in the day.
The win xp thing its your sata drivers play with the mode(emulated IDE generally works best) to get it working. The later sp cds will work but they will be harder to find as they were generally just available to businesses or people who mastered a custom cd.
Back then there were many gaming VGA manufacturers like S3, 3dfx, ATI, Matrox and more.
People used mostly 14-15 inch CRT monitors so 8MB video RAM were sufficient.

Were you using the VGA to HDMI converter while trying to install WinXP?
I remember the 8400 gs (an entry level card from 2006) was still available up until about 2018 or so, it even had lightning deals every year on black Friday
Im feeling a bit disapointed. This is the equivalent to go looking for a 1940's car and then complain is bad.. of course is bad... is a 22 year old card!
The question is why do they sell it still, and well, the answer is simple: For people with 30 yr old computers that need a video output!
Back then, the cpus didn't had integrated graphics. The igpu of those days, if it had one, it was part of the motherboard, and some had 1 or 2 mb of memory and they would struggle even playing videos. It wasn't like today that any budget cpu comes with integrated graphics good enough to watch youtube... well almost all of them, you know what i mean. Back then it was common to have both the sound and the video as pci cards. And the 2d video cards, let's call them that, were actualy more common then 3d acelerated graphics cards.
This card was never meant to play games. It was literaly a video output card so you could use your pc and thats it. I know that realy sound like the gt 210... but is not realy the same... You see... the 210 exists in an age, where dedicated gpus are considered 3d acelerators, and not display outputs... where the basic video output is handled by the integrated gpu INSIDE your cpu and noone would think to buy a dedicated gpu just so they can watch youtube and dvd's. This card in the other hand, existed in a time were you needed to use a video card just to get video out. HELL this card existed in a time where 3D CARDS and video cards were 2 SEPARATED THINGS. You used THIS card along another pci card which function was to render the 3d graphics for your games, and you would plug the vga output of your video card into the 3d acelerator and then use the 3d acelerator output to plug your monitor! IT WAS CRAZY!
It's a youtuber doing clickbait.
You're on the right track with your comment, but off on a few points. The 3D Rage was the first 3D accelerator from ati. The Rage XL is a later revision that I believe was based on the Rage Pro and most certainly a 3D accelerator. The DirectX version that this card supports is going to be limited to DirectX 6. As far as XP drivers are concerned, they're built into Windows. It probably would have installed them without any issues if XP had installed. This is a perfect card to pair with older DOS gaming rigs. A video like this is pointless. It'd make more sense coming from someone knowledgeable in these older parts, like Druaga1, LGR, or philscomputerlab.
There are much better options as simple PCI/AGP video display adapters than this even for systems pre 2000. And well, nah, most people consider the Geforce 210 as a display adapter for systems that come without one integrated, not as a 3D accelerator
Who the hell still has a 30 year old computer, that's almost the same age as my mom

I am amazed that Amazon posted this card. I could expect Ebay listings, for vintage hardware is significant today and quite pricey actually. Heck, try to pick up a used, vintage Voodoo graphics card today.

I remember sometime in the 90s running a demo of original the Doom in a window the size of a index card on a W95 (W98?) system to get it to run. Still, it was my first 3D game and it seemed like magic. 100s of megawads later I'm still playing Doom.
sometimes there are industrial uses for old hardware like this, i gave away some old stuff to a guy who needed it for an old pc that was used to run a machine with windows 95

In the right vintage build this would probably be pretty good. Had some rudimentary 3d acceleration functions, but was basically a 2d card, right?

To test older hardware like this, you should use a AMD FX or Opteron system and use virtualization with PCI passthrough. You should be able get Windows 9x and DOS running just fine with that.
The original iMac used to have the ATI Rage II chip built in. It was super disappointing to play Unreal on in 1998.
I'd be willing to bet that the grief with Windows XP was caused by missing AHCI support out of the box. You can integrate this into the install media (easiest) or retroactively enable AHCI after installing in IDE mode (fiddly but doable).
How do companies get away with producing such disgustingly low quality parts.
It's a sad reverse chicken and egg scenario. If you don't make an ultra cheap card, someone else will. And then you don't get any profit from that market segment at all.
Although personally I agree with you, making ultra cheap parts doesn't make much sense in the long term as it can severely damage your brand image for those who bought one of those crappy parts from you. I would instead set a minimum standard for stuff I sell to help avoid that, nothing crazy but at least better than integrated graphics so that it makes sense to buy it in the first place.
Unregulated free market capitalism
@butter thus the free market will decide whether it will be sold or not. So not much problem there, no ones forcing you to.

My Rage Pro Turbo from 1999 ran the original Unreal (not unreal tournament) pretty well, but I eventually returned it for a Riva 128 card.
I have exactly this Rage XL 8MB PCI version, it was weak already back in 2001, it was probably meant just as something to show picture for people who didn't have integrated graphics or didn't have APG slot.
I somehow completed GTA V and Watch DoG 2 on my GT 710
And also I do 1080p video editing on GT 710
To use some VERY rough numbers, I found synthetic benchmarks for the Rage XL on Hardware Museum (2.8). I also found a value for the Radeon 7500 (48.3). That's important, because you can find the Radeon 7500 on a more modern benchmark, like Passmark, where it gets a 3. It's worth noting, the $125 RX 570 has a Passmark benchmark of 6967. Using the Radeon 7500 as a scaling benchmark (the Rage XL is 5.8% of the Radeon 7500), that means we can rough out the Rage XL's Passmark at 0.2. This makes the RX 570 (a good value card, but still a value card) almost 35000 times more powerful than the Rage XL. Even the lowly GF 710 gets a Passmark of 621, or 3100 times more powerful, just to give an idea of scale. Not sure why I felt the need to work this out, but I did.
you cannot compare it like that. sorry to tell you.
@@warrax111 As I said, those are VERY rough numbers- a full recognition that benchmarks are not reality. Do you have a better way of modeling the differences between the items in question?
@@annagramgaming8934 Yes, it's uncomperable. You are trying compare, what cannot be numbered.
those are different technologies, platforms.
Newer cards have lots of features, supports higher versions of directX, etc.
You can compare only cards from about same era, that can be said "this card is 150% faster, this card is 350% faster, etc...).
But cards from over 10 or 20 years, not.
@@warrax111 I guess I have to repeat this because you are incapable of reading. It's a VERY (caps every fucking time) rough comparison. So thank you for observing the obvious about the nature of these kinds of issues. Now for the part you ran away from: Can you offer any kind of way of doing this better? Or are you just looking for a chance to snark about something offered as VERY rough and pretend that wasn't said EVERY time?
Had one of these back in the day... makes me feel old.
I think it was paired with an AMD k6.
Shown up in my recommendations today, this video adapter was used loads in servers up till 2010s as it could pass the video onto the remote access card for some reason where as newer GPUs carnt, also good if you want to run vms and pass your good gpu to a gaming VM but need a display out for somthing else and dont have onboard video, shows how long they have been arround an ATI Rage 128 was the 1st new graphics card I got with my own money
"If that's something that you're into"
LGR Fans: *YES*
I just love it when a GPU is older than me
I saw this in the listing on Amazon & I thought it was some kind of joke, great for retro enthusiasts like me, but I wasn't expecting to see something brand new, but so low spec, even I laughed at it!😂
I bought some similar of these for a retro 2d build I was working on.
hah, i remember the days when one used to buy a graphics card like that,...yeah no fancy coolers needed at that time and it was like the Top. happy days.
Mom can we get a pc. Mom : we have a pc at home , the pc at home:

Oh, you should have seen those I've tested. 1-4 MB cards for instance, from 1996. :D Great video!
On your Windows XP install did you download the storage controller drivers for your Intel ahci chipset and install them with a floppy drive. Oh yeah USB floppy doesn't work.
Windows XP might not work due to you trying to use AHCI instead of IDE, AHCI wont work if you dont have drivers
Also windows xp doesn't include a built in sata driver, it will absolutely error out if you don't install a sata driver upon setup
0:08 I can see the Gpu I am saving up for to put in a pc. (hint: it has a yellow box)
Don't get it trust me. I have the slightly better one (3GB model) and even though I can play some modern games, you would be much bettee off just saving up for an RX5500 XT. I know its a lot cheaper but its not even on a comparable level of performance.
Very interesting. I like the old stuff.
I can't count how many times one of those ATI Rage XL pci video cards have saved my ass. At one time I had salvaged a small stack of them and they enabled me to build and learn alot about older machines back when I got started. I think I still have one around as my saving grace for whenever I play around with my oldies. Reliable af.
