Hard to believe that in 2022, we’re still seeing 700 series cards being released. What is especially baffling is why they haven’t done this as a 1030 re-release if aiming at the lower end - it’s at least still supported, and has some of the other modern conveniences that were introduced in the 10 series - I can’t imagine those manufacturing nodes being as saturated at this point, without being almost prehistoric like the 700’s.
The 750 ti would make more sense.
@@SSJfraz Alas, all we got is Chinese legit brand re-release of 750ti like Afox
I think it's because of the display outs the 1030 supports. I can't think of a single 1030 for sale with more then 2 display outs.
Right?
At least re-release the 1030 with gddr6 smh
Remember the gt 1010? yeah me neither
Gamers: "This card is horrible! Why would they release it again?!"
Server Owners: *"Yes, display ports, lots of it..*
Even with so many ports only 2 of them can be powered on at the same time. So no 3 monitor setup. Source:I own a gt 730
@@chrislamp What? Then why the hell would you have 4 hdmi outputs? Haha! But yeah, I believe you... it really feels like just the scam Nvidia and Asus would pull.
the gt 730 is just the gpu core not the card , every gt730 model is a different card and will allow different number of displays at the same time so your 730 is different from this one
@@chrislamp Thats when you break 2 of it, you'll have another pair of port.
lol no "server owner" is going to go out and buy a bunch of GT 730s for their display outputs. There's far better alternatives for that if you need to connect many displays and you wouldn't normally do that with a server in the first place.
I think we are at a point where the companies throw everything on the market because they will sell it. We were at a point where you could get this GPU on a chewing gum machine and now it’s sold out. It’s ridiculous.
It is not on the companies. They don't want to sell old stuff for profit, they just don't have anything else. ANYTHING else. So, better sell older generation stuff than hving absolutely nothing on the market. It isn't like there lies any profit on having old production lines running producing this with also high memory and basic component prices.
To be fair, The past two entire *years* have been pretty ridiculous.
This is not a gaming gpu
It's funny that, back when I first really started getting into computers, for games, I never imagined cards even like this. I remember after getting into the Pentium age and saving up enough money to replace my 4mb non-3d card for a 3d card. I remember 8mb and 16mb cards were the most beastly cards on the market. I got a Voodoo 3 8mb card, when Unreal and Unreal Tournament came out and playing in something other than Software mode. A friend of mine, who had gotten a job at Westwood studios, then moved eventually to Ubisoft told me about a card they were using that was 32mb, I almost didn't believe him haha.
I said all that to say, being older, remembering when the first real 3d cards came out, it still blows my mind sometimes, looking at videos like this and seeing a 2gb card, being basically, obsolete. I guess you have to be old like me for it to seem as amazing, but after all these years, I still find it amazing haha.
Great video as always :D
I felt that 😸
It's the world continually moving my friend.. And getting older lol
A computer used to fill an office floor once upon a time, And gaming wasn't even a thing.
@Michaels Carport low end cards with 2GB really can do a great job handling well optimized games and browsing the net for a good while.
Combined with the low power usage/heat output and these parts can last sooo much time.
As for gaming, this is my early 2000's kid opinion, gaming got kinda lame and can really make your hardware look bad, be it either because it uses 800 post-process filters or having huge maps that most of the time manage to hurt the gameplay.
Basic things like having a draw distance slider can REALLY boost your performance, but most game studios don't even think about that because they make only on bleeding edge hardware
@Michaels Carport nice, i applaud you for upgrading your laptop rather than throwing it away and getting a newer one.
For me,as long your pc can handle emulators, you can have fun. I love obscure MS-DOS adventure games and point-n-clicks from the 90s, a lot of ideas and clever puzzles that you don't see anymore, sadly.
the latest computer i've used which is in 2020 has 64mb of vram in the igpu and the bios is locked down so you can't change it, i'm sure i could squeeze out like 5 fps if i can give it another 64 or so
The original GT 730 was the very first piece of hardware I bought to upgrade my pc some years ago, also the thing that got me interested in PC's as well. Still holds a place in my heart for the countless hours of CSGO and a few other titles I could play then because of it. Hearing it get a "refurbish" was a shock because of modern gaming standards but then again snapped back to reality when I remembered about the shortage stuff.
Happy New Year!!
Same for me bro
I bought 630 back in 2013. Upgraded from my amd athalon2x2 x250 integrated. Saved up all the new years money to buy it. Parents bought me 1080p monitor in 2012. My pc ouldnt handle any games at that resolution. I remember now that I used to play league at 25 fps and my friend came over saying wow its laggy and im like lag? What you on about. I remember I was the worst player out of all of my friends in csgo was legit silver 1 tho I did run at like 15-20fps, I didnt even know what fps was, after the gpu upgrade insta gold nova. And people say gear doesnt make you a better gamer
GT 730 upgrade? It's the weakest GPU on market and that was valid already in 2015. If you had some Pentium 4 with geforce 6600 then maybe it was upgrade. :-)
@@Pidalin I was only 13 then and I wasn’t in a very good financial spot too. The PC I had only came with a 500gb hard drive 4Gb DDR3 ram and an Intel I3-4th gen. Don’t remember what exactly.. the 730 was enough for me then and I really did consider it an upgrade as I had nothing else. Now still on the budget side with an AMD R5 3600, 16Gbs DDR4 and a GTX1660 super that I found for $300 used
@@snow_en When I was 13 years old, my computers were mostly from dust bin or from people who upgraded and didn't want their old crap anymore, in that time (around 2004) older HW was ridiculously cheap, you was in worse situation if you was 13 years old in time of GT 730. In 2004, you could literally find 2 years old GPU in good condition lying at street.
You could use this for a Windows XP Retro Build, with the bonus of having HDMI ports
Thing is, you can get quad display cards for far cheaper than this if it's for office applications.
@@SSJfraz Not typical for a retro build. Old office tasks can usually be done on a modern OS. The one advantage this card has is XP drivers and relatively high performance for the games you'd typically play on Windows XP. But with this card you probably wouldn't be using a CRT. For that, the GT640 will probably be better because it typically has a DVI port.
The Gigabye GTX260OC (GV-N260OC-896I) is Awesome for an XP Gaming PC,
Unlike most GTX260 models that have the 2xDVI & S-Video it has 1x VGA, 1x DVI & 1x HDMI giving a huge Monitor connection choice,
While they do only have DDR3 VRAM they have a 448Bit MBus (111.9 GB/s) compared to the GT730's DDR5 64Bit MBus (40.10 GB/s).
@@CheapBastard1988 The best alternative to a crt I've found is a cheap 720p lcd tv 24" or smaller. Old games look great on it at their intended resolutions and for emulators you can apply a tv shader to get that fuzzy crt look that old console games look best on.
It's less a "graphics card" and more a "display adaptor". I can imagine sticking 4 of these in a tower pc for a 16-screen video wall!
Lol yes! XD
i need suoer powerful gfx cards to run 4k 60hz yet alone many of then
Back in 2020 my wife needed a graphics card so her cheapo dell office computer, she got at an auction for $75 American freedom bucks, could play 4k movies. The best I could do at the time was get her an $80 gt 1030. I thought I was getting ripped off. This video made me feel much better about that purchase.
4x HDMI ports makes it pretty useful in some industrial situations.
We're legitimately better off with Iris Xe or a Ryzen APU
You're better off with terrible Intel UHD graphics too.
Intel uhd 620 is 3% slower than this so you're better off with the 620
Yes even my ancient hd graphics 5500 perform close to this card
My old gateway FX laptops 8800 gts was faster than this
@@finnbianga4189 5th Gen i5 here! (i5-5300U, laptop, turbo disabled for heat management.) Has the same Intel HD Graphics 5500 that ended up being way better than I expected. Sure, it's running on a native 1024x768 screen, but games end up more-often-than-not actually being playable if you turn the settings down far enough.
Back in early 2020 I bought my very first graphics card, a GT 1030 (DDR5 of course) for ~90€, and I felt like it was a bit expansive (it was the only one that fitted into my small form-factor Optiplex anyway (because for some reason they put the 16x slot right against the power supply, preventing me from using a low profile double slot 1650)).
And now, seeing newly (re)released cards, more expansive than mine, scoring so badly really makes me proud that I didn't wait a few month for the prices to drop...
thats because the 730 is not a new card, its a re-release. Im glad i bought my rx570 for 50 euros like 2 years ago, they go for like 200 euro now, the market is so fucked.
You are right, at this point that was a good decision and you can make it last for a while because game developers will start developing games with this mess of a gpu market in mind on how many can run high end graphics.
2:50 yep, 4 monitor displaying spreadsheets is exactly why this is a very popular card in my company. Also the fact that some of these kepler cards still have vga output is another desirable feature for industrial use.
Now obviously this is laughably slow for gaming but as I said, if you need the cheapest solution to hook up an extra monitor to your desktop at work, this is it.
True. At my office, most developer workstations use low-end Quadros which are close to the same thing. They work fine for driving several monitors.
I haven’t had a work desktop in over a decade now.
@@tonycrabtree3416 sorry to hear that.
@@ifrit35 Not me. The one thing HP does great are business class laptops with docking stations. Allows me to WFH.
@@tonycrabtree3416 still would prefer desktop
At this rate we'll still find GT 710's and 730's brand new for sale in the year 2077
XD true
Bruh some OEMs now are selling systems with like a 11700KF or 5800x and a 550Ti/650
I’m surprised they aren’t in Cyberpunk 2077 as a mission. lol
although it's ridiculous to use a 30 dollar card to play cyberpunk
Not going the lie, the heatsink looks cool and I like the blue color on the PCB. But why would NVIDIA re-release an outdated gpu from 2014? Its not really good for gaming and the gtx 750ti is wayyy better value. This is just like gt 1010 situtation lol. Kinda hoped they would refresh atleast the gtx 900 series just because of driver support!
again my previous answer the 750 ti is not a fermi card its a maxwell card the gt 730 is a fermi chip which is almost a decade old now.
@@RK-zf1jm I checked the architecture of the gt 730 and it stated that its a kepler card which is still a weak architecture because i used to have a gtx 650. Overall its true that this is just ewaste. Kepler driver support is dead
@@youtubeisgarbage900 Lol I actually have the nimez drivers on my amd s7000 server gpu, and it plays newer games with no problems. The most recent driver amd published for this card was way back in july of 2021, but i decided to update it even further
@@youtubeisgarbage900 honestly, nvidia used to have modded drivers but now due to new business practices and enhanced security, modding nvidia drivers is a pain to get through. But yes the main point is refreshing old cards are not worth it at all, especially when they are lacking driver support
the refreshed the gt 700 series because it still sold well.
2.5 years ago I was embarrassed to have to settle for a 1650 Super. If I built my PC today I'd probably have to settle for a 1030 or one of these if I wanted a new GPU. Jesus.
Lots of people would kill for a 1650 super now.
@@GoodName111 As someone who's had a GTX 1050 since 2018, I can confirm.
I love my 1650ti bro! Granted, this was my first computer in over a decade. I was a console peasant until a year ago when I grabbed an Acer gaming laptop and haven't looked back!!
I'll be content with this until the whole chip shortage settles, one way or the other lol.
Happy 2022 man
I was lucky and picked up a 1660 super for $230 right when SHTF. It wasn't too much later and everything was out of stock and or relisted at insane prices. It was already hard enough to find a PSU that wasn't being scalped.
**laughs in gtx 650**
Pretty sure the iGPUs in newer Intel and AMD CPUs are faster than this e-waste.
Hell vega 3 probably beats this
This is exactly right, I know that the Ryzen 5700g will kick this obsolete hardware to the curb and you will save money on your overall system.
They are, but they don't support 4 monitors at once. These are for business use.
@@robwiljas my gigabyte B450I with Ryzen 5 3400G supports 3 displays at 4K60. That's 26,5Mpx of real estate.
GT730 only has HDMI1.4b, so it will do 4K only at 30Hz, which is terrible to look at and work with. Switching to 1440p60 will give you 14,7Mpx on 4 screens, which is less space for your work. I don't see that one extra screen as some great advantage. This card is obsolete.
@@tomkocur Yes I know that, that's still only 3 screens. There are legitimate uses for these cards. Why do people always insist if they don't see the point then there's no point? It may not be useful to you, but it IS useful to others.
Pci-E x1 means it will always be bottlenecked. Companies just want to sham gamers at this point.
That being typed, display adapters are getting harder to come by for reasonable prices. So perhaps this is for that market.
I have a friend who's MB uses Intel graphics and has only one PCIe x 1 slot so for him this card would actually be a good idea as an upgrade albeit the stupid price!
That 730GT has more than enough room for overclocking +100Mhz maybe more, in the end i think its mainly about recycling old parts afaik GDDR5 production should be long over
PCIe x1 is only a tiny tiny bottleneck with a 730 GT. I mean RTX 3080 with PCIe 4.0 1x is still faster than RTX 3070 with PCIe 4.0 x16
@@marcopaganotto9125 Uh, that Intel CPU probably has a more powerful GPU.
@@nathansstuff1547 I doubt it. AMDs iGPUs have always been pretty good and usually faster than Intels. Even now Intel is consistently worse except for the mobile Iris XE iGPU.
what a great way to start a new year 😎
Happy New Year
Happy New Year! Love Potato 🥔! Look forward to seeing more!!
Casually throwing a "Happy new year by the way" like a boss.
Happy new year to you!
I absolutely love the dedication to the 700 series cards. I don't think they'll ever die with OEMs.
Edit: Happy New Year!
its single handedly crippling the pc worldwide! pc master race? not with a 730 you a pc Pleb servant at under this craphics addapter.
Take it out, and generally your PC will be more powerful, if your CPU has an integrated GPU. "free" performance increase.
Worst cards
@@nathansstuff1547 this isn’t for gaming. It’s for office workstations that need video outputs. Not everything is for pcmr gaming. Include that companies want new hardware with warranty and this card is great.
@@marknissen4634 No shit, yet a lot of these types of cards are still put in machines made for the regular consumer. Probably so they can tout it as having NVIDIA GeForce graphics.
Know iBUYPOWER was selling a PC with a Kepler GT 730 that was clearly aimed towards gamers at one stage. The case was filled with RGB fans. That PC also cost $700.
When the GT 730 is getting re-released at this point you know there is an issue. You would think by now a new lower end card would be released but they obviously can't produce anything else fast enough. That being said I have one in an old Dell optiplex and it does for older games from the PS3/360 era for the most part although it's best to target 720p and many times 30fps if you want a long term stable experience.
Nice video. I don't know why but i always enjoy these reviews. Happy holidays from Argentina!
Happy new year, glad you’re feeling better to make content again.
The performance discrepancy between the DDR3 and GDDR5 versions cannot be due to memory, as 64-bit GDDR5 still has more bandwidth. I suspect the PCIe X1 interface is the culprit there.
Yea,i remember also that he made an old video with gt730 with 1gb ddr5 that smashed on the ground the ddr3 2gb variant .Also it looked like the old one was pcie x8 or x16 .
it's definitely the problem, the x1 card is clearly not meant for gaming!
@@sirfairplay9153 Makes me wonder why bother releasing a 730 like this instead of the 710 then. Actually, why not release the elusive 1010 if they were keen on releasing a stronger card anyway?
Happy New Year :) Love the idea of a scoring system :)
As far as this graphics card goes, it's only really any good as a display adapter... not as an actual graphics card. The PCI X1 interface (instead of something better, like X8 or X16) is really quite a bottleneck in newer titles. But hey, at least (by virtue of having four HDMI ports) it is decent to have for driving multiple monitors.
The only advantage of this card is it has full open-source driver support in Linux, as Kepler is the latest architecture so far not to require firmware binaries for initialization and to fully support re-clocking.
Add to that the amount of outputs and the only niche this GPU will serve (and very well) are SysAdmins looking for a simple server display adapter.
By the sounds of it .. They are targeting a specific audience and giving them a bit of a facelift for a product. Can't really complain about that I guess. At first i was skeptical. This kind of explains a few things for me. Thanks for taking the time to share
I am hoping that when Intel enter the external GPU market, they can supply enough cards to help bring down the GPU prices. Most mid range to high end cards are a complete rip off and the second hard market is full of aging/scaming cards. Laptops are better value than a desktop now.
Isn't that still a 2023 product?
happy new year steve
Literally sold my 730 5 hours ago for 50$, prices are crazy ,this card new goes for 110$ in my country haha
Yeah it’s absolute madness right now with no sign of stopping :/
110$!? RX570 8gb is like 110$ where I live that's just insanely high
Rx460 4gb can be had for 150$
If you look hard enough.
Before someone buys it
@ShadowNoire22 i live in South Asia i know that's just insanely low for a RX570. You can actually find RTX cards at MSRP prices here but maybe they are 10 or 20 bucks more
Dude I'm in south Asia too
Cool that the new 710/730s are usually silent models with cool features like being PCIe 1x and having 4 modern digital display-outs, while the older models you can get for $30 on Ebay all have tiny heatsinks and crappy 60mm fans. Now if the new ones weren't $100+...
oh my garsh, i thought i had seen the last of these. SURELY the last of any NEW ones, hah! Good video! Also had LITTLE idea that such a small 2gb would push GTA5 so well. I have gotten my Win10 Insignia tablet to push Heroes 6 tho, so that was quite the wonder too!
Man, PC gaming really has gone down the dumpster these past few years. :(
Yeah 2010-2018 was the golden age of budget builds
@@RandomGaminginHD Definitely. Back in 2014, I built a pretty decent rig for like 800 Euro.
Now for 800, you can barely buy a GPU. :(
No
I still remember when I bought my 780 TI for like 500€ in 2013 which was like the best card for gaming outperformed slighty soley by the gtx titan, which was also much more expensive. Nowadays you‘d pay easily the double or tripple the amount for such a high end card.
@@j_nl7689 Yeah. :(
I got lucky and bought my 2080 ti when it just came out.
Then again, I don't think anyone could predict the absolute hell we'd be in these past few years.
Damn, that's an impressive "new" card. I hope you do an International giveaway with it!
I bought one of these for a very niche build - and to play very old games on a sub-1080p display. Love your vids
Introducing a ranking system is a very good idea. And while u are at u should introduce more variables such as pairing a gpu with a system with ddr3 ram.
I got ridiculously lucky yesterday and found a 1070ti for $200 on FB marketplace. First good deal I have come across in nearly a year though.

Who would've thought in 2022 we'd be reviewing "new" cards for almost £100 that only support 4K at 30Hz at full colour. What's next? Intel re-introduces a single core Netburst CPU?

I bought the same card a few days ago for my proxmox server. I needed something that can do the hardware encoding for accessing via parsec. In this case it works fine. Especially when your system has only one PCIe x1 Slot left 😅
But you're right, I never would use it for Gaming.
Yea this doesn’t even look like a gaming card I would use
I remember the time you did a video on the Zotac PCIe x1 GT 710, and, ever since I learned that both Zotac and Asus also made PCIe x1 GT 730s, I've been hoping that one day you'd find one and test it out. That dream has finally been realized... 10 months ago! How the hell did I miss this video??? 🤦😂
Happy new year Steve
May you bless us with more videos this year :)
Btw how is the seagull doing?
What graphics cards companies need to do is re-release the maxwell Gtx 9XX graphics cards and re release with gddr6 and factory over clocking. Just like nvidia did with the gtx 1650. I would even buy an updated overclocked gt1030 with gddr6.
CSGO should have separate benchmarks from different maps included, as the performance can vary significantly. de_Ancient is probably the most demanding map right now and performance-wide, the FPS are much lower there than, let's say, on de_dust2. It would be much more informative (for me at least), if different benchmarks were included.
Happy new year buddy.
I like the content you put up here in this channel.
Keep doing what you do.
Cheers.
Always enjoy these videos, your voice is very soothing!
Having more 1x cards on the market is nice for certain niche use cases. I wanted to have a card in my Plex server for hardware transcoding but my 16x slots are used up. I ended up using a low-profile 710 that I had lying around with a 1x to 16x riser card, but something like this would have done the job beautifully.
Being single-slot and passively cooled also has its benefits for workloads similar to that. Unfortunately, the price is the killer. If you could snag one of these for 50 bucks, it would have legitimate use cases.
The 1x slot is its biggest weakness for gaming but perhaps its biggest strength for desktop use. Think of all the mATX machines and prebuilts that only have a single x16 slot. If you need to drive A LOT of monitors for some reason, this could give you the ability to run four additional monitors if you have only one x16 slot and it's already in use.
Well said. :-)
These re-released cards are shameless cash-grabs. FYI: you can pick up a GTX-960 for about the same price as this on the second-hand market; people sniff at them, but that's what's kept their price low, and now makes them an excellent contender. I coupled mine with an old HP unit with a generation 4 i7 and 8GB of RAM. Total cost for the rig was
My old gaming rig has a 4gb 960 in it and it still runs modernish games 1080p 60 fps ultra unless its something insanely detailed like rdr2 or cyberpunk but both those games choke out even high end systems. I use it for console retro gaming now with emulators and its perfect. I was surprised at how good some older games for systems like the ps1 and ps2 look when you run them at 1080p instead of the old ntsc crt tv resolution of 648x486.
"These re-released cards are shameless cash-grabs. "
As any product they are designed and sold to make money. Cards like this are for when you just need to hook up more monitors. For work no sane person would use second-hand hardware without warranty.
Ha, this review is perfectly timed as I looked at a 730 this weekend as a cheap “upgrade” to my sons PC. He has a little Vostro with onboard graphics and only plays crash bandicoot. Thought it may do a little better but I may hold onto my cash for a while 😃
YES, that scoring system is great
Happy New Year Steve
With the Nvidia t400 being a little bit more expensive it is available and fully supported. It runs muchhhh better than this card. For anyone on a budget please check it out!
That's one way to chuck £90 in the bin. Could get a used 750ti or Quadro K2200 (basically the workstation equivalent of a 750) for a fair amount less that £90 - even now.

Don’t know if this is a pre record but you sound better all the best bro
I wont lie: for work PCs that actually makes me kind of "excited"! We sometimes have the situation that we need a videocard just to connect more then two screens at once, and having to spend insane amounts of money on a card you otherwise don't really need is kind of annoying. So 100€ for a card for 4 monitors? Hell yeah, give it to us! Sure I wouldn't complain about something more modern for the same price, but in the current situation and if it displays a picture I'm kind of fine with it.
I picked up a 1030 recently for $100 AUD but didn't realize it was the DDR4 version, but thankfully I got another one again for $100 AUD and it was the GDDR5 version, works nicely in an old school machine I paid for $130, cheap gaming machine
Happy new year! Yes please do a potato scoring system.
I am so happy that I paid a reasonable price for my card. It was expensive when you put in consideration how the prices of other high end cards dropped after some years. But the crisis started to begin that time when I bought it. I am not looking forward to use ray tracing so once again I am lucky I didn't wait longer to get a 3000 series card...
Looks like this GPU has a new release.
But can it run Lost in Vivo?
Please benchmark this game and it's more demanding than Crysis but it's unplayable for low end GPUs even integrated as well.
Giving it only 3/10 potatoes truly shows how deep you potato GPU experience goes. It can always be worse and you ve been there too many times already. :)
Great one as always, and a Happy New Year! May it bring you less sprouts and more potatoes!
As someone who works in IT in a company where some users require multiple displays, this isn't a bad card - 4xHDMI outputs is a great feature. Shame that the chip is so old, but it's supported under Windows 11, has video decoding and adequate desktop acceleration, so that's all that really matters. This is not targeted at gamers; it's odd that it isn't a quadro card, but that's a good thing as it makes it cheaper. It's the perfect card for WFH for those who need many displays.
730 has good support by Nouveau on Linux
You'd get alot more views if your tech reviews had multiplayer games included. (I been subscribed for years)
The prices currently are an absolute joke. I just paid far too much for a GTX960. Better than nothing though!
Im trying to get a gtx 1650 as its in my budget and the prices are unreasonable, my rx550 works fine but its getting on a bit now
I think a gtx 960 might be 120 or 150
@@jackcarter9081 My classmate found a new GTX 1650 for 22000RSD, which is about 220$ dollars.
I feel bad for everyone.. I got a "new" card just before the crysis started, a 1080 Ti for 100€ from a friend. Nowadays I would pay like 600€ for it ^^'
I managed to get a good deal (in this market; the price overall was still an overpay) on an RX 6600. If it wasn't for my 1050 Ti's struggling performance in RDR2, I wouldn't have impulsively bought the card.
Recommendation over the 730, the Quadro k620. It's a decent budget gaming card performing similar to the GT 1030 DDR3 and can be found on eBay for like $35. And they're still supported in drivers!
Isn't K620 only DirectX 11 though? Or only very rudimentary DX12 support that would put it more on par with a GTX 750 in that regard.
happy new year
Happy New Year
if it was a low profile/half height card it would be a nice upgrade if you had and absolutely ANCIENT thin office prebuilt that you wanted to play retro PC or emulated games on otherwise id rather buy a Radeon HD5450
My media pc (an old HP business desktop with extra ram added) in the living room has a GT710. I can turn the resolution down to 720p and play older video games (Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, etc.) with ease. The 730 should be better than that. But, I only paid $20 for my 710 18 months ago. No way is a 730 worth a hundred pounds ($135); people pay that because they can't get anything else. It's a massive profit that explains why its been reintroduced. The cure? Make mining crypto illegal at the federal level.
You think making it illegal will stop people? Lol they'll just go underground or move to different countries. Maybe if a chip plant wasn't destroyed, China pressuring Taiwan, world in an artificial coma, scalpers etc. Scalping is illegal hasn't stopped shit .
@@crazycoffee Maybe you're right. How would you solve the issue?
@@ScottGrammer We already failed to stop covid from spreading it's endemic now. It's stupid that half the world is still in an artificial coma. Open that. The chip shortage just has to wait. It would be good if we didn't have all the chips in the world made in a select few areas. Scalping idk what to do that wouldn't be counter productive. Besides stopping bulk orders of GPUs. Idk if you've seen the video of this guy who had a warehouse of 3070s bought mostly from NVIDIA directly. Making more stuff illegal just doesn't solve the problem. Throughout history it just is pointless. People will just ignore it. If there weren't so many monopolies allowed to form (which monopolies are illegal lots of too big to fail businesses) idk other than that.
Continue being a legend!
Happy New Year.
With 19 of these, an ASUS B250 Mining Expert and PCIe 1x riser cables you could connect 76 monitors. Would that work? 😁
I don’t see why not 😂
Ah yes, a 76 monitor setup. Can't wait to play cyberpunk at 5 fps on that, gonna be so immersive
@@finnbianga4189 5 FPS is still probably optimistic haha, also you have a kickass name!
@@THEfogVAULT lmao why do you say kickass name? Where i live my last name is also a first name for women so i hate it cus i'm a guy lmao
@@finnbianga4189 Ah, well you and I share the same first name - which is not a common name where I live - so us Finn's have to stick together haha
it should be sold for $27 usd at this point only then would it be worth it they made a big mistake by not using a pcie x4 connector but as a display its not bad just a rip off if you ask me
it shouldn't exist. and is a ripoff at whatever price since is already unsupported. Nvidia should be selling gt 3010 or 2010 worst case scenario not 7 year old cards
the hdmi license costs would almost already be on the same magnitude at that price lol
since your name has hd in it, make the rating system based on resolution like 144p 240p 360p 480p 720p etc
btw love your content
I didn't realize they had security updates past the driver update, so that's good to know!
Nice video, already looking forward to next one. I bought 6 GB evga rtx 2060 as a Christmas present for my son, he's not complaining, so frankly, I'm wondering what could be wrong on version with more memory, than older model.
Honestly the price. The 6gb version used to be a 300€ part and is now up to 550€ 3 years later. That’s bad enough, now the 12gb version doesn’t provide more performance and costs like 650€. It’s not the performance people are moaning about, and if they do they’re already rocking a handsomely performant 30 series GPU
2022 price - £450.
Wooohhoo new video!
It's really sad honestly that they decided to re-release a old unsupported GPU instead of just lower the prices of the current ones.
Is this worth the price? At a tenner, maybe... for 10 times that? No way on earth. Quick edit here: I miss the days when Nvidia drivers would let you have 2 cards from different ranges on the same machine...
In fairness the gt730 isn't gonna have a easy time even with games from 2005 and is much worse than any igpu I've ever seen so I suppose support doesn't matter for this card anyways.
Dam didn't expecr 14 fps in rdr2 considering nfs mw2005 ran at just 24fps.
7:03 best voice crack I've ever heard haha
Im glad i saw ur gt 1030 video & i was able to pick up brand new asus gt 1030 oc one for like 100$
feels a little illegal to be this early
nevertheless Happy New Year!!
I do not understand why the prices of new GPUs you don't even have to buy are making an effect on the resale value of older ones by making the old ones more expensive
This world and its perfect logic never cease to amaze me
Dood that is froogin’ nuts!
Awesome video man, on this topic is there a possibility you could review the maxsun GeForce GT 730 4 or 2 gb? If not it’s okay I’m just wondering if it could be a possibility,thanks!😁
This card actually hurts me... Why not make it a half height card? The cooler takes up half the height of it and you could easily make those 4 hdmi ports either mini HDMI or even better just mini dp. Like com'on man, it would be way more useful to just chuck it into an old cheap pc that can't support (or isn't even power enough to use) a full height card.
Nice content
happy new year yeah thats the card i need for my oculus :)
Not sure if you are joking or not, but I'm pretty sure a GT 730 is far below the minimum VR requirements for the vast majority of VR games.
@@jtenorj yes im joking i have the oculus on my pc
I love how zero decibels is one of the only things fighting for it
I have an old 4gb GT730 that I paid £30 for, put it in an old HP desktop with an I3-3220 and upgraded to 16gb of ram, running batocera to it will play all my retro games up to ps1 and GameCube / Wii, only ps2 / xbox onward won’t run, so love it for that, got an emulation stations for £40 not including ram which I had in a drawer
You should include the patato score 😅😂🤣
Ohh what a glorious purchase that gtx 1080 of mine was. Still going strong after all those years.
All I want is a mid-range.
Happy for you though.
@@Penoatle Thats understandable. The 1080 was a pretty big purchase at the time and i was unsure if it was worth it. Turns out it was a very good decision. Try your luck on ebay or other sites depending on where your based. i just picked up a 970 for a friend for 100€ yesterday so its possible.
Scoring system is a great idea!
YES! Potato ranking system for this year, please!
What a weird nugget to start off the year!
I have this very same card now,lol just only a 200 mhz overclock and its decent. Although I bought it in 2015 when new for less than 75 bucks ,sucks that the market is just gonna still go on the deep end.
I have a dell R720, and only last month I managed to get a 16x g card in it and it does work, perfectly. My server has 8 cores, 16 threads, 50 gig of ram, and 4TB of storage. Currently it has Gigabyte Radeon (1024 MB) (GV-R465OC-1GI) Graphics Card installed. Works great, but im running Abuntu.
