I tried to sell the graphics card of my gaming rig today and

>>61696684
Oh. I have that exact same card. Didn't work when I plugged it into my sandy bridge motherboard. Did it die by just sitting around or could it be that the motherboard doesn't support it?

Its not broken, the shop had a Radeon 6670 2GB for £20, i hoped i could sell my current for £10ish to put towards it.

At the moment im still using it.

>>61696837
Oh, no, I meant mine. I figured maybe there could be a compatibility issue with the pcie x1 port or something..

>>61696945
Oh :)
Tbh i have mine on a x16 port and i heard it only works on x16.

>>61696684
I have that card. It's great, but really not for gaming. Passive cooling should give that away.

>>61696837
Jesus fuck anon are you seriously saving up for just £20?

>>61697280
times are tough man

>>61697305
Tell me about yourself
If I like what I hear I might PayPal you a few $$$
Why are times so tough for you?

>>61697322
I live in a small rural town so jobs are scarce, i got made redundant a few weeks back, and as the school year just finished all the kids are snapping up even jobs like cleaning and mcdonalds workers

>>61697364
Why aren't you working anon?

>>61697399
>as i said, i was made redundant and all the jobs are being snapped up by kids who have just left school

Anyone wanna post their specs, will accept any now. Bad or good.

>>61696684
>has money for games
>can't even get a 6670 for 20 quid
at least get some used 7790 or something

Mine:
Athlon II X3 460 OC 3.74GHz
ATI Radeon HD 5670 OC 900MHz (OC 1000MHz VRAM)
4GB DDR3 1333MHz 9/9/9/24 RAM (OC 1466MHZ 8/8/8/22)

>tfw used Phenom X4 with same clocks but worse TDP costs $50
>tfw used 750 Ti costs almost $100
>tfw motherboards are so expensive changing sockets is completely out of question
Why even live.

>>61697734
Got CS:GO in summer sale, 4 years ago
Got GTA: 5 50% 2 years ago.
Overwatch is my friends, he lets me use his account
rocket league was a birthday present.
so no i dont have money for games

and why would i buy a 7790 if i cant afford a 6670?

>>61697919
wow, you bought games you knew from the start you could barely run. good job.

>>61697442
apply anyways.

If you can't put 20 pounds together, I suspect an acient GPU is the least of the problems in your life.

Have you considered:

>getting a job (and no, they took er jerbs and there is no more jobs sir is a lazy excuse unless you are 50 IQ mouthbreating faggot, in which case i present you with option 2
>immiedately remove yourself both from the gene pool and current society

>>61697958
CS:GO runs fine and i hoped GTA would get atleast 20fps

>>61697996
Of course i apply to every job i see, people would rather employ a 16 year old they can pay less.

>>61697851
>Athlon II X3 460
that must be rough, feels are being dispatched

>>61698055
>Of course i apply to every job i see, people would rather employ a 16 year old they can pay less.
post some applications

>>61696837
I have this gpu, it's pretty good desu, it plays GTA in windowed mode on low at about 35 to 50 fps. I've put about 430 hours in using this card so clearly it's not unplayable kek

>>61698055
>that must be rough, feels are being dispatched
Eh, it's a really solid CPU, no reason to replace, probably ever.
GPU is the main bottleneck.
Can't even hardware decode 1080p@60 without dropping 25% frames. Crazy.

I did manage to beat fallout 4 with constant <10 fps on brokenly low beyond breaking point setting.
T'was a bugfest and aiming was pretty rough on 4-7 fps, but I managed (somehow).

And before some faggot points it out - no I didn't buy it.
I've spent like maybe $10 total on all software over the course of my entire life (and I regret spending even that).

>>61698106
The fuck? What do you expect me to post?
My application which i sent to an employer?
My CV with all my personal information on it?

>>61698111
Thats amazing, do you have the 1gb edition?

>>61698176

gaming beast.

I have that card... In my home server.

That was a £30 card in 2010. What the fuck are you doing with your life?

>>61698473
>typos
>poor capitalization
into the trash it goes

>>61699040
So current year -3 games at current year -7 resolutions. I've had more powerful erections than that

>>61696837
anon, the shop has to make money too, they're not going to pay you 10 GBPs (so they have to sell it for 20 minimum to cover clerk time and physical space) for a card literally 7 times weaker as the one they're selling for 20 GBP.

>>61698047
Wow you salty today anon?

Not OP, and now I have a GTX 1050 Ti

But before I got the job I have now I looked for over 3 years, having a fucking degree, in the meantime I played with a GeForce 6200 in my Athlon 64 being the year of the lord + 2013

I was so poor than even though I might have had money for a 20 bucks PCI-E card better than the ancient 6200, I did not have the money to get a brand new computer with the fucking slot. Actually I got a 7300GT AGP for 50 fucking bucks because it was all I could gather at some point that year, it made a hell of a difference. Anyway..

So get off your high horse, he will have better times eventually, life isn't as easy just because it was for you, getting a job is getting harder every year that passes.

>>61699754
this anon speaks truth.

I love threads like these, they make me extremely happy I'm not poor, making me smile before I go back to game on my Fury X.

>>61696837
How are you so fucking poor? Go ask your social security aunt for some cash if you're that far below the poverty line.

poor frog-o
