I have a Gigabyte GT 740 2GB OC GDDR5 version, with a Core i5-10400F, and a 8GB DDR4 ram again with a ssd. On paper the GDDR5 version looks better than the GDDR3, but in reality you didn’t see this performance. In a professional way, you will, I mean for work. But please, don’t buy this card, only if you use to connect a TV to watch films and more. At this price you can buy now in the used market a GTX 950-1050 cards and below. I have enough experience with this card, and I hate it!
Never buy anything below a 50 series really. And even 50 series cards usually suck. 60 series is bare minimum to have an enjoyable gaming experience imo. Like a 1060,2060,3060. Etc.
Actually your GT 730 could very well just be a more efficient version of this card. No joke, 730 is either GF108 (absolutely terrible, literally rebranded gt 440) or GK208B which is a die shrunk GK107 (GTX 650M, GT 740)
To be honest, it's like back in the days when you tried to run Doom on semi-modern 386 or 486SX computers. I remember playing it it in low-res mode 160x200 at around 15 fps with a window size of a postage stamp. ;) (so really 80x100px or something like that), I think it's incredible that an old lackluster DDR3 card like this CAN actually run the latest games. That in itself is impressive.
Not to flex on you but I've played heavy titels such as payday2 with the almighty gt730 and at a whopping 3 fps, it is definitely not impressive. I mean even if you compare thr fact that it barely runs 2005 games at a playable fps I'd still say its just a horrendous card not impressive. Sure this one is a bit better but still bad.
How dare people want playable framerates, no one cares that your PC is subpar, no one is going to buy low end hardware despite being able to afford much more powerful hardware just so you won't feel bad about your sh|tty gaming experience, you're complaining too, you're just complaining about the opposite of what you're complaining about people complaining about. Also "Can" isn't an acronym
Just for the fact that Cyberpunk actually opens and plays on this GT-740 regardless of the 360p video quality, just goes to show how awesome this card was for it's time up til now in 2021. I owned this model GPU and can honestly say for it's time back then when I owned one, it was awesome.
I love the classic RGinHD content, some absurdly bad graphics card being given a chance to show what it can still do. This is way more interesting to me than brand new hardware bc i could for example afford a gt 740 but not a rtx 3090
I built a pc for less than $100, it has i5 4440s, 8gb ram, and an evga gt740 sc 4gb gddr5. It runs surprisingly well! Gta5, far cry 3,counter strike, borderlands, etc. All solid performance at medium/900p. My main rig vastly superior 3700x/1080ti, but I still think that gt740 is a great little card!
love the content recently man been on fire, I ordered one of the Bucket Hats and it came on NYE and I have been wearing it ever since - my family may think I look like pillock but i love it 😊
@@jasjotbhasin36 oh you right! I thought the uhd 630 would have the capability to do 1080p 30 because of dual channel. Might not be strong enough then...
just get a cheap used 3400g and 2*8gb 3200mhz ram a cheap case 250gb ssd and 1/2 tb hdd and used motherboard or a cheap one and have a decent 720p gaming pc for cheap
The first laptop from my brother had a GT 740M. It was a version with 2GB DDR3 but the mobile one just had a 64bit memory interface instead of a 128bit, so it was even slower than this one but for the time we could play every game we wanted, even when we had to turn things down to low, it would run it. Man, good old memorys...
I had a MSI GTX 750 (paired with i5-4440 back in the day) in 2014 that looked the same as 740. Upgraded to GTX 1060 in 2016 and RTX 2070 Super in 2019. GTX 750 was my first "gaming" gpu and I was so happy with it.
Would be interesting to review the GTX 745 which is a cut down GTX 750 with DDR3 and was an OEM only GPU found in multiple prebuilts including gaming PCs
I sold a i5 9400F ($140) with 16 GB of DDR4 ($50) and my old EVGA GTX 760 that was sitting in my closet with the rest of the PC built with extra parts laying around for $600 dollars on Craigslist today. If you can pair up a older graphics card with a modern CPU right now you can make some good money due to graphics cards being so rare at the monent.
I almost fall victim to this card last year when I tried to upgrade my budget PC. Then a lower priced GTX 660 appeared on the list, totally saved my money from burning for no performance increase that time
Yeah. I did have lots of memories with that GPU on my asus laptop. In 2020, it struggles with modern titles even at lowest settings. Glad I had the 25W variant tho, the 15W variant is even much slower.
@@arjaydee6379 I have been using it from 2016 till to day and will probably be using for the next 5 years as well. Installing Asus GPU Tweak 2 and setting the temperature target to 85 some how unlocked the tdp of mine. consumes around 27 to 30 watts. OCed to 1310MHz and 1600Mhz on the memory. i have a cooling fan and placed thermal pads between the heatsink and laptop back panel for improved cooling cyberpunk 2077 720p 50 percent resolution scale with meduim settings is possible at 40 to 50 fps
Fallout 4 is a good benchmark game because it used to be said that if you can run Fallout 4, you can also run GTA 5, but Fallout didn't get harder to run over time like GTA did, and it is a solid middle ground, not too easy to run, not too hard to run.
Looks across my room. . . There it is.... there it has been. The gt740 that more miles from the fan spinning then my car will ever reach. 2014-2020 where the years of constant usage 24/7. I stopped using it in the very beginning of 2021 within like 1 day. Hehe I built a new computer that day. :-)
for the ddr3 version to be able to play gta v at 1080p is quite impressive actually specially if you turn on the frame cap... and people who uses that card probably uses 18.5" monitors anyway so they're limited to 1366x768.
I've been using a HD 5750 1GB for the last few days, and outside of Vermintide II (which hates Radeon GPU's) it's been doing alright. Also have an R9 390 and that's still playing games at 1440p!! Madness.
I loved this card. I bought the EVGA 1GB GDDR5 FTW Edition back in early '15 to replace my dead XFX 8800GT 512MB ADE, but it lasted me only a year before dying, probably due to static when cleaning it outside the case, or residual damage after having to modify the plastic cover to fit my poorly-structured Acer motherboard. I didn't play anything newer than Shift 2 Unleashed, so all my usual titles ran maxed out without issue.
i Had this in my fx 4350 build , put it together for about 250$ back in the day with sales and open box sales. Still own it to this day and mine was the ddr3. It sucked! GTA V was like 35fps low settings but with horrible stutters.

I was running a gtx 745 4gb ddr3 card for years. Ddr3 cards even today are not to bad. Just need to adjust settings. Even got cyberpunk at 720p medium with half Res scale getting over 30fps which I was supprised
What you should do is get some really old high end graphics cards. Like from the GeForce 6000-9000 series cards but only the top end variants. Compare some of those high end cards to very low end cards from now and yesteryear. 710,410,210, and amd offerings. You can even test sli on the cards that support it and compare it to crossfire on budget amd offerings. I remember seeing a review a while back benchmarking a 512mb high end gpu that was able to destroy a 2gb offering from years later. Even on slightly newer games as long as it didn’t run into vram issues. Here’s another idea, how much crossfire or sli power using older gpus does it take to beat a 3060ti. Stick to only games that support multi gpu, specifically ones that scale across 3-4 gpus. It would be interesting to see if 4x580s or dual 6gb Titans could beat it. Can dual 980ti? It would make for some awesome content. Especially if you can find deals on those cards or team up with someone who already has samples available.
I have the mobile version of this card on my old laptop it ran most games at 30 fps I didn't replace the thermal paste on it for 7 years I have now upgraded and built my own gaming pc but I accidently went overbudget and built a liquid cooled i9 9900k system sadly I have to run the integrated uhd630 graphics adapter in my I9 9900K but I am still happy since the only games I play are titles like minecraft and portal
my first gpu was the gt 740m in some asus laptop it ran payday 2 well and the forest fine as long as it wasnt over 30 degrees ambient in the room i was playing it in
I can't remember if it was DDR 3 or G DDR5 But I remember being amazed at GTA5 running at 1333 by 768 on My old GT640 At almost 50 frames per 2nd When it launched
I have the GDDR5 730 with 1GB of VRAM. I use it on a spare PC for old games. I was using XP but I switch to 7 because everything worked on 7 anyway, and the nvidia driver works better on that. I mean for stuff up to like Skyrim it's fine but I play much older stuff than that on it. Like Fallout 1 and stuff. Interesting to see the 740 with DDR3.
I think the gddr5 is going to perform reasonably better. It reminds me of the gtx 1660 versus the 1660 super case not so long ago. The aforementioned was gddr5 and it had some nice performance but was lacking something. The latter is exactly the same as a 1660 but with gddr6 memory, which increased the memory bandwidth a lot, increasing the performance to the point of a 1660 ti which is the best you can get before entering rtx. Just that little difference adds between 10 and 15 fps at least.
holy crap I USED TO HAVE THIS. Mine had 1GB GDDR5. I got it from a PC that was in the trash, yeah lol I sometimes sneak into nice place that is sort of like a old pc junkyard. people take their old PCs there and they are destroyed. breaks my heart so I sneak in from time to time and rescue some of them.
I remember playing Dota 2 back then with this card it plays on 30fps on low-med settings which is okay for me back then lol so many memories L4D2 works okay too on 30fps target
I happen to have a GT 740 2GB GDDR5 laying around. I could look into shipping it from Sweden if you’re interested? I’d be happy to support the channel that way. Just let me know! :)
I'm building a PC for emulation and I can't decide which one I'm gonna to with. I thought about going with a R9 280x. I'll probably play some retro titles on it, too. I may go with the 750..

I have the mobile version of this card on my old laptop it ran most games at 30 fps I didn't replace the thermal paste on it for 7 years I have now upgraded and built my own gaming pc but I accidently went overbudget and built a liquid cooled i9 9900k system sadly I have to run the integrated uhd630 graphics adapter in my I9 9900K but I am still happy since the only games I play are titles like minecraft and portal
Can you please test the gt 740 4gb version
watching him driving significantly better in cyberpunk at approax 20 fps while I'm usually at 70ish... it makes me feel some type of way about my self
Shocked this even hits 40 fps avg at 1080p in GTA V.
Yeah I was quite impressed too
@@RandomGaminginHD is this gpu actually Keplar? or is it like the 750ti and 745 and actually maxwell?
the ddr5 version is actually very good.. I've tried it on 720p in 2020 and was doing alright similar to a 750ti
I have both the 740 gddr5 and the 750ti. The 750 ti is more powerfull
Like 50% PERCENT FASTER NOT CONSIDERING OVERCLOCKING
This card makes any modern FPS title like seige and CW look like BO2 on the 360, which i guess has its own quirk of being enjoyable!
You heard it! There is probably a big wave of videos coming!
my first gpu was the gt 740m in some asus laptop it ran payday 2 well and the forest fine as long as it wasnt over 30 degrees ambient in the room i was playing it in
I can't remember if it was DDR 3 or G DDR5 But I remember being amazed at GTA5 running at 1333 by 768 on My old GT640 At almost 50 frames per 2nd When it launched
Happy new year 🎆🎊🎈
If you could get ahold of the GDDR5 variant that would be cool. Im interested in seeing how well that would run.
I just got r6 and I'm playing at the lowest possible Res with around 30 FPS and honestly I've never been happier with my laptop
The gtx 750ti and r7 360 still going strong in 2020 imo
I have the GDDR5 730 with 1GB of VRAM. I use it on a spare PC for old games. I was using XP but I switch to 7 because everything worked on 7 anyway, and the nvidia driver works better on that. I mean for stuff up to like Skyrim it's fine but I play much older stuff than that on it. Like Fallout 1 and stuff. Interesting to see the 740 with DDR3.
I've got an R9 255 2GB DDR3 OEM model from an ASUS ROG G20BM...... be interesting to see how this would stand up to the GT 740 if you wanna borrow it.
I think the gddr5 is going to perform reasonably better. It reminds me of the gtx 1660 versus the 1660 super case not so long ago. The aforementioned was gddr5 and it had some nice performance but was lacking something. The latter is exactly the same as a 1660 but with gddr6 memory, which increased the memory bandwidth a lot, increasing the performance to the point of a 1660 ti which is the best you can get before entering rtx. Just that little difference adds between 10 and 15 fps at least.
Title: GT740....
Me: Wow that existed?!
I actually have a gt220
Welcome to CRT TV era gaming
The GDDR5 version as an absolute madness of a card for the price
There is a gigabyte r7 350 2gb ddr3 card that came out in 2016 GV-R735OC-2GI (rev. 1.0)
I have a Gigabyte GT740 OC 2Gig version of this card. Going to pair it with my Ryzen 3 3200g.
3200g would perform better I think with 3000-3200mhz ram
@@sensn90 I think so yeah. And by a big margin.
@@sensn90 Thanks for the info.
@@tilburg8683 Thanks for the info
holy crap I USED TO HAVE THIS. Mine had 1GB GDDR5. I got it from a PC that was in the trash, yeah lol I sometimes sneak into nice place that is sort of like a old pc junkyard. people take their old PCs there and they are destroyed. breaks my heart so I sneak in from time to time and rescue some of them.
I remember playing Dota 2 back then with this card it plays on 30fps on low-med settings which is okay for me back then lol so many memories L4D2 works okay too on 30fps target
I happen to have a GT 740 2GB GDDR5 laying around. I could look into shipping it from Sweden if you’re interested? I’d be happy to support the channel that way. Just let me know! :)
Your ddr5 variant to compare it to would be the gt650. Basically the same card, 384 Kepler cores and gddr5 ram
There was a 2GB DDR5 version, was tempted to get one once.
yeah it'll still struggle these days, but I'm sure it'll do way better than this one
@@RandomGaminginHD Not sure, but it doesn't seem much better than the 730 GT anyway, even the 730 GT DDR5 isn't much to go by.
I'm building a PC for emulation and I can't decide which one I'm gonna to with. I thought about going with a R9 280x. I'll probably play some retro titles on it, too. I may go with the 750..
no video for GT740 DDR3 vs GT730 DDR5 ?
I had 2 GIG DDR5 GT 760's in sli in a gaming laptop. Was well decent in 2015!
looks like some ps one nostalgia in cyberpunk and watchdogs lol
The GDDR5 is exactly the GTX 650 which can sometimes be cheaper.
