I decided to buy the cheapest graphics card on Amazon to see if it's any good. I then overclocked the living crap out of it.

Buy the cheapest prebuilt pc for "GAMING"
That is a great idea. I will do that next year. 👍
Dawid Does Tech Stuff no, do it this year, in January the click through rate is worse than in December and you will make less money, so now is the time to rock CZcams
@@earomc I'm sure he has a production budget he has to work with and can't just throw in a project with two weeks of the year left.
just watch Tech Yes City, I bought mine for only 150$ with monitor. you can see my video playing with 1080p

In my first "gaming" pc i had a gt230 which i overclocked and got almost double the performance without modding the card. That was super cool back then. It made me kinda proud xD
That is awesome! It is really fun overclocking these cards.

It makes sense that a very low-end card like this can go so much higher when overclocked, as high-end cards have probably been tested and pushed much closer to their design limits by definition
You should do a collab with RandomGaminginHD :-)
I would love that.

Great idea. 😃

Ah yes, back when you could still get your hands on a graphic card 😂
Oh man you so brightened my day here on the west coast of California. Man you really reached out lol (Only said that so you would know the Range of your Humor). That was so cool. Thank you for the video. 🙂👍👍
David's wife : honey I'm gonna stay at my parents home for few days
After she left
David: let's buy and violate a graphic card
Great overclocking video on a cheap card my dude. Shows the tech can run old stuff just fine
LOL. I figured you would yank the passive cooler off and Chuck a heat sink fan on and heat sinks on the ram. Wiring s case fan to the card had me rolling. Kudos, card did better than I expected.
Great video. Keep them coming.
Liked and supported keep it up bro great to see that you have a good time doing this amazing video
That's awesome! Thank you for the nice comment
Voltages effect the temp so damn much, went from 1.4v at 90c to 1.2 at 62c, same clock speed
I remember overclocking an hd 5770 by just sliding the clock speed and memory speed sliders all the way to the right. This video brought back low fps gaming memories and the effect overclocking has on that level
I _need_ to see more info about that 'Chuck Norris OC method'!
Very respectable overclock. I would love to see a GT 730 2 gigs ddr5 max oc. Thanks for the informative video Dawid!
Do you think you could do a video on the intel core i3 3220
I know u probably get questions like this all the time, and for that I'm sorry. But I just got one and u haven't done a video yet. Ur my favorite channel to watch when it comes to older pc hardware, and thus this would be an amazing video for me to watch...
Just an idea please do it...
Happy holidays. XD
P.S. good luck with the COPPA stuff
I just watched a couple of your videos but this one made me like subscribe and here I go with a comment.
Excellent video!

Excellent video, I learned a great deal my new friend!
sometimes on wednesdays you can go on evga.com and get b-stock graphics cards for SUPER cheap. im talking gtx 960 for $28 after referral code
😒👍 crazy cheap
Amazing video man
Good job David!
Hey Dawid, you should try doing this to older cards, like the nvidia 8800 or 9800 cards. That should be interesting to see, and I look forward to it.
Reminds me of back a long time ago, had a 7900gs with a "hard mod" to force it a lot more voltage. Got ridiculous overclocks with a nice cooler. I also did a hard mod to a few 8800gt cards.hard mods do infact give a ton more head room but requires much better cooling.
Let us know when you find an adultier adult Dawid! We'll definitely tune in to watch.
I would love some adult supervision for Chuck Norris overclocking.
I learned something! Subbed..
Great video as always it would be cool to see a full setup made up from the cheapest parts on Amazon and see how far you can push it overclocking all the parts that can be overclocked, even the monitor some of the cheapest ones can go as high as like 90 hrtz or more.
No
I've used my R7 250 1GB GDDR5 modded bios, could push voltage up to 1.3V and it was pretty toasty (the slim version). But overclock was amaizing.
I bought this Card months ago for my Dell Optiplex 780 MT as I just wanted to try it with the only game I wanted to play (War thunder) and the integrated graphics weren't enough. So now with it, Im able to play at 80-55 fps in Ultra low quality on and Im pretty happy with it, I also use it for graphics design and it works well tbh. Its was the 1gb version but it worked enough for me with and low setting game when I couldn't spend more money.
Cheapest graphics card I've ever bought was a Radeon R9 270X 2GB by Powercolor for £3.30 - It was overheating, so I replaced the thermal paste and now it works :-)
DMS-59 is a legit input that is basically 2 vgas pushed together. Many early to mid 2000s cards use them in office machines.
Very impressive to be honest... quiet the lil pixel pusher at the end of the day with some overclocking... be good for an emulation rig as long as ya keep it cool
Notice that this is a PCIe x8 card. This means it can work in some odd places where you don't have the full x16 physical interface available, for example on a motherboard where there is already a more powerful nVidia card in there and you need a few more displays than that card supports.
It used to be you'd voltage mod a video card by putting a multi turn variable resistor between where the card is reading the voltage and where it's coming from. By increasing slowly the resistance in between the voltage feedback circuit thinks it's lower than it actually is and will add more voltage. You need a volt meter connected to know how much you're increasing it though.
You don't have to hide the benchmarks Dawe. We will watch till the end for the clever closing narration!
Fun fact: I own a Zotac 710 graphics card, and it does in fact have a legitimate use. It is EXTREMELY cheap, and it comes in a version that fits into a PCIe x1 slot. If you build your own router (pfsense or linux or whatever) out of cheap hardware, you will soon find the urge to stick as many possible 1000 Mb/s NIC cards into the case as possible. This usually means using a board that has many PCIe slots, but also no onboard video. Sacrificing a x8 or x16 slot for a graphics card during initial setup basically undoes the advantages you got by having a board with so many slots (you will lose about 4 gigabit ethernet ports), so a cheap card only taking up a x1 slot is actually IDEAL in this particular use case.
its so cool seeing people like him buy such cheap thigns that anyone has the money for but not the curousity unless he (the one person) does it and were intreged
You inspired me to overclock my gt220 xD Wish me luck
I got a 2 gig 710 in my Athlon 64 build, more or less to give it SOMETHING better than the measly onboard 6150LE iGPU. Surprisingly, playing games from ~2008 or so, it actually runs quite well and I managed to pull off 60fps in a few games.
It's hard even to define it a "graphics card", since integrated graphics from a cpu is quite more performing. The cap for OC here is the limited power delivery offered by the PCI-e slot, as you said in the video.
I think that's an issue with the GT 710. They pack it like a gaming card and people try to game on it.
The real use of a GT 710 is when you have an elderly relative with an old Core 2 Quad with on board graphics so bad, it can't play CZcams videos at higher than 480p(that's not a joke, this is from personal experience from my 70 year old dad's computer), but otherwise, runs perfectly fine for what they do. Drop in a GT 710, which has hardware video decoding up to 1080p and it's stopped the old coot going out and spending £400 on a new computer he doesn't need.
Okay for some reason the black PCB and the black heatsink is just.. sexy to me. It's a nice looking card, and I own an Aorus RX 580 with fancy lights lol.
Heck of a test bench there.......
8:20 very honest man here
Thanks for the video. Kinda dissapointed didn't see it on fire :)
Great way to make a space heater.
get a soldering iron and make it get more voltage even if the BIOS tables says no :)
I've been doing it for HWBOT for over a decade and it's a blast. anything NVIDIA Kepler or prior is easy to do, and on AMD anything prior to the R9 series is pretty simple.
plus you can have more fun on older cards since you won't get upset when/if you kill them.
My proudest "overclocking" moment was back when I knew basically nothing about computers and "upgraded" my Radeon 9600 Pro to an nVidia 6500 or something.
Was so long ago that I long forgot, and I don't even have that computer anymore.
I was actually able to unlock GPU LANES in this card. It shipped with two of six lanes enabled. After finding the special utility, I was able to get two more lanes enabled.
The last two lanes were actually defective, with one of them causing severe artifacting, and the other causing a point light to flash on screen before crashing the entire PC.
"It's seems like you really like videos about cheap graphics cards"
Well, that's only thing I'm can to afford. :)
:(
😁
Nice job - I have the Anthrax version of the GT1030...
There are plenty of scenarios where you need the absolute cheapest graphics card -> A basic office PC without integrated graphics.
I've used quite a few "cheapest i can find" cards for this very reason.
while I'm waiting for my rx 580 to arrive I've been overclocking my 1050 pretty far. I haven't done any bios flashing or anything cause i like my warranty (evga covers oc damage as their products are 'enthusiast' as long as the vbios hasn't been modified), but I managed to get +200mhz core, +800mhz memory stable. Gives me about a 15fps increase which is neat.
My r7 250 XFX LP had 1.05Ghz boost clock, doing volt mod, bios mod, it managed to get stable 1450Mhz with 1100Mhz memory clock (DDR3/GDDR3 not sure).
This is actually the reason I like my little GT1030 I've been using until recently. It can be overclocked to within an inch of its life and keep going. I got quite a bit of extra performance out of the 1030.
How much? :)
@@jerome6332 15-20% boost in framerate on most games over all stock clocks. Higher-latency memory is waaay more tolerant of overclocking so I was getting almost 500 mhz extra memory clock speed.
@abroadinjapan anything sound familiar around 8:00?
Best tech channel and it’s not even close 👍🏼
Thank you. 😃
definitely want to see the chuck norris level
Bios modding the right 750Ti can give some great results. Over 1500MHz core clock is possible with the EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB FTW.
my best OCing experience was with an ati HD6570, had about 40% performance increase out of the one i OC'd
Chuck Norris level overclocking! 🤣😂😂😂
I really wanted to see the chuck norris level of overclocking but i didnt find it anywhere! Any links to that post forums?
I did not know u could overclock these😂😂😂
The better, (If I should call it that) of the gt 710 graphics cards. While some might say that it's a bad card, other things that are good about are the fact that it does what the onboard graphics card doesn't have to. For older model computers it actually increases and sometimes caps fps on games with direct x11 or direct x period.
U can quote me on that even if I have to do my own review on it.
"Because it's winter the ambient temperature in the room is very low". I think you'll need overclockled 2xR9 295 X2 crossfire + Threadripper 3990x type of setup to fix this. I like to keep my flat at cozy 22c no matter if it's -30c or +30c outside.
Dawid saying "ghetto rigged" is the greatest sound bite of all time
Well done my man. Ive been trawling the likes of amazon lopking to update my geeforce gtx750ti and i have no clue what is an upgrade and what is crap. Any advice on something quite cheap but better than my 750ti to pair wiyh an old AMD fx6300 which ive slightly overclocked. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as im a noob like on your t shirt. Excellent reviews by the way amd your sarcasm cracks me up. 👍🤣☕️
it would be nice to see a comparison between the gddr3 and the gddr5 version of the gt 710
now he should do it with a gt1030 and gtx 1650 for the lulz comparison video that would be an epic overclocking video to watch
Bringing back the memes. Also am interested on how this card would do In world of Warcraft!
I've seen World of Warcraft run on high settings on like 2008 Nvidia GT cards, it was meant to be very accessible to everyone even with shitty PCs. Running WoW with a an actual custom UI would be the real test there.
There are a lot of no name cheap air cpu coolers "pure copper" incarnations around the web. Perhaps it would be interesting to see them dancing on hot cpu.
Hi can you please try Over Clocking and Volting the GT 730?
its funny, i bought 8 of the 1gb gt710 cards awhile back for a compute farm, they work great for that
this was the gpu i had in my first gaming pc with an amd fx 4300. Now i have a ryzen 7 2700x and a gtx 1660! how times have changed
Now I want to see all of this stuff applied to a GT 1030 2GB OC (the one with active cooling) :D
IKR? The 1030 2GB GDDR5 is the real low end beast!
At first, I thought that the cheapest new graphics card may be the ddr4 version of the GT1030. Perhaps the GT 710 might be ideal for something like my Sony Vaio desktop PC that has a Pentium D 820 from 2005 and it does have a PCI express slot.
At 2:22 I was confused because I just turned around to grab some chips and then looked back at my phone and wondered if I'd accidentally rotated my screen 180 degrees.
Please help Dawid your intro music has been stuck in my head for days but I can’t figure out where you got it from!
Hey, I don't mind the GT 710. I got 100 fps on Minecraft with it, on an HP Elite 8000 sff PC, lol. I did get the 2GB GDDR5 version, at $50 USD. It was not bad for its price, and hey, it ran Fortnite at 30 fps on all low settings and low resolution, but at least it ran, and it was "somewhat" usable (I don't use it anymore, I have a much better gaming laptop now, but I still have that PC)
I have to wait until February - April next year until I can buy myself a gaming PC and I can't wait xD

Please can I get the link to the chuck norris level of oc of gt710? I want to see the gains 😁
When and adult says he needs adult supervision you know that's when shit gets real
There is a bit "B" in GB. Gb means gigabit. And there is a big "H" in Hz. Big "V" in V (as in short for volt).
GT 710 IS a video adapter... to give Ryzen or F-ended Intel any video output...
I can't wait to display some beautiful graphics for you 😍 wait 🤔 what are you doing with that fan? 😦
Wonder if you can try a Radeon W3100 graphics card, it runs rock stable , pretty nice small formfactor specially very handy for workstation and server use. The thing is i tryed several tools to overclock it but it seems to have things locked, i know not much about gpu so maybe theres a trick to unlock the card.
