  • In what could be stupidest idea to date, I decided to put my old Nvidia GTX 280 into my 5800X3D rig. Does it even work? Will it boot windows? Will the drivers even work? Will the games run? Let’s find out!

    These cards were a beast. Nvidia put them out with 512bit memory bus

    Interesting to to see this GTX 280 in action. I remember owning the GTX 260 core 16 version with excellent performance. Thanks for the video! Cheers!

    Had 2 of these in SLI eventually. Do recall that black screen audio loop crash… thought it was just Bad Company 2 but seems it was a GPU thing

    Windows boots at 1.8gb VRAM consumption in 2024 and bloats up to near 4gb after enough usage

    I had an XFX 4890 XT around that time. Was also rocking a Samsung Sync master 16:10 monitor with 1050p resolution. Was a pretty neat system to play Mass Effect and those other Xbox 360-era games on.

    I don’t care if it can game. It just looks sexy on the desk!

    Incredible how modern integrated graphics are faster than this, and vega 11 a smidgen slower.

    GTA 4 performs worse because of the directx it uses, if you look for DXVK I doubt the 280 can run vulkan but DXVK makes GTA 4 run like 80-120 fps better.

    Good old times when nvidia proudly made high spec room heaters

    This was my previous GPU, I used it till it got bricked. What a fighter T_T

    makes sense 40 fps with 8fps 1% low is not the same as 40 fps with 28 fps 1% low. 1% low indicates how the game will "feel", 1% high indicated how many frames you can max count/see.

    GTA4 needs DXVK to run normally :P
