Can The NVIDIA GTX 280 Still Game in 2024?

[@justwinclassic]

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

[@Manny32V]

i had two gtx285 in sli and back when they came out and i absolutely enjoyed them.

I had two GTX 260 in SLI. Great video.

[@Obie327]

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

[@MarcABrown-tt1fp]

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

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.

Firm handshakes 🤝

I have a 2011 gtx 550ti that i might try out. I was playing crisis 2 at the time on a pre built lenovo

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

[@RobertFixit]

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

[@Joseph_kamura]

Good old times when nvidia proudly made high spec room heaters

[@ogrelaxthe2nd]

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.

[@cosmefulanito6713]

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

[@davidnott_]

Incredible times

I can’t stop thinking what if I bought nvidia stock back in 2008 instead of this GPU 😭

[@sulfurnitride]

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.

[@Chasm9]

GTA4 needs DXVK to run normally :P

[@B-26354]

I was 20 years old... Jesus. 😂

[@davidnott_]

We’re like fine wines!

[@KlaweKlapki]

It can game your power bill

[@DanielCardei]

Still a better than the space heater GTX 295

[@davidnott_]

I forget the details of the 295. Was that the dual one?

[@DanielCardei]

@@davidnott_ yes.

[@Chasm9]

I had a 250 GTS 😁 it was terrible 😁
