MAXSUN Dips Back into NVIDIA GT 730 GPU Pool

[RJARRRPCGP]

The GTX 750 is like an updated GT 640, from what I can gather. Those were good cards for the mid-2010s.

I quite like the GT730 as an XP gaming card, especially in low profile, and especially the GDDR5 version.

I'd have thought there were plenty enough in the wild by now but they're either still finding new, or are recycling, the GPU's...

I agree with you there, recently been messing with XP era gaming on some old hardware for fun and found even a GT 610 had enough power for what I was doing.
But a feature upgraded version would give me a reason to go anywhere but used for cards like this. If they did any kind of memory upgrade, low profile slot or passive cooling..hell I’d take swapping the DVi port out for a second HDMI so I don’t need an adapter to get 2x HDMI ports. But a rebadge with a warranty probably isn’t enough unless it’s awfully cheap…

Is nvidia having them made on n3e?

750 Ti wipes the floor with 640 and IIRC the non-Ti wasn't that much slower. The best reason to go for a Ti was that it had 2GB of VRAM as standard.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2 GB Review

Today, NVIDIA launched their GeForce GTX 750 Ti, which is based on the new GM107 graphics processor introducing NVIDIA's Maxwell graphics architecture. Power consumption of the new card is at a record low, which means temperature and noise levels are impressive as well.

Yeah, I wish I had the Ti or a step-below model of the GTX 750, back when I had my FX 8350.

GT 710s and 730s still sell like hot cakes. In South Africa alone, several hundred move per month. Not every CPU has iGPU, and not every user needs more than basic display. They’re common in custom workstations where something like a 14700F plus GT 710 is cheaper than a 14700, or Threadripper, Ryzen 5000 (not so much anymore), etc.

It wouldnt be a bad idea to keep these going if they had hardware support for at least VP9 so you could use it to watch youtube and such without tanking your entire machine.

If youre using it for gaming. you must be really scraping the bottom of the barrel for budget.

Fiddy money buys me a 1060, or a 1650. Or RX 480 8 GB. Used of course but it's still leagues faster than whatever Kepler has ever existed, let alone that unmuscular 730.

So this goes to all of you but this isn't a replacement for those cards. It's not for gaming. This is for people who just need a new GPU, any GPU. Low end office machine, or any machine, with only one video output and they want to add a second monitor, for instance. My boss actually bought a passive GT710 in like 2021 because he needed another HDMI output, the only thing it had to do was drive a 1440p monitor and show mail. Or the GPU in the Sandy Bridge Excel machine dies, then stuff like this is exactly what you need and you can just order it and it'll ship to your company from a company rather from some dude on Facebook.

This guy gets it. The GT710 is used in a i9 7900X machine.

Well, there are good deals to be had.

Like a 6500 XT and Team Group 3200mts ram for 89 bucks on newegg.

A gt 730 isn't worth 50$. I feel bad if someone gets suckered into buying that trash.

Umm, I'm better with:

Ryzen 5600 with GT 730 rather than Ryzen 5600G

Ryzen 7500F with GT 730 rather than Ryzen 8500/8600G.

Like, obviously, no dumb will use iGPU for 4K or "good codecs", so, if you don't need "good" gpu, then go get some sh*ttrash would it be even $50. Still better than WASTING RAM.

Nothing but a display adapter now.

don't you know gaming platforms like Roblox? Or games like Minecraft? Only dumb will waste hundreds of $$$ for playing MINECRAFT/ROBLOX. Perfect fit.

YEAH MAN, Intel iGPU is OVERPRICE ASF! One could get 12100F/12400F for BARGAIN, but 12100/12400 is... 12100 is ON PAR with 12400F!!! 12400.. you could get 13400F, which is, as you know, obviously faster bcuz of extra shtcores lol

 

[Vayra86]

I think so yeah. Just don't get the whole 730 chip deal. What is so significant other than having a bunch of stock? Can't be really all that profitable unless these are all recycled pcbs or something.

That's what I was thinking. Where is the business model? Or is the whole thing one massive recycling job, and you might find some bits of duct tape under the shroud... But even then, the hours spent on getting that done... how? Did they find some free labor alongside the pallets of 730s?

Finally a new Nvidia GPU I can afford

Jokes aside, I installed one GT710 and one GT720 in the last year. Both are working perfectly in office PCs - one i3-8100 and one i5-4650, both with 8GB RAM.
Why they matter:

• low profile;
• motherboard monitor outputs don't work well with some dual monitor configurations or have VGA+DVI when I needed HDMI+DVI;
• bonus free RAM from not using the iGPU.

i5-4650

This CPU doesn't exist. Did you mean 4670? 4690? 4590? 4570?

Yup XFX GHOST R7 250X in a Ry7 5800 rig since 21 here.

 

[KLMR]

At this point we should be talking about 1050 or 1650 at this price.
We are not talking about the most efficient /low power GPU in the world anyway, something worth to install in a server, workstation, etc. Something worth, at all.

Sounds like today's version of a server with an ATi Rage onboard, LOL.

Whatever, didn't bother going to the office just to check the CPU . Probably i5-4570.
