Lmao, Forget all the GPU / CPU Launches, this is were its at, I got some laughs out this vid....
At least we can actually purchase this card.....
@@jniemi please dont buy this card to say it in best terms it sucks
@@wizardzcoast it could run black ops 3 at lowest settings possible at 45 fps. I have one to use in case my rx580 goes out so I can have a gpu for my ryzen 5 2600
Oh wow! That card is a beast! Holy crap. It's almost Intel UHD 620 level performance. 😳
I sense an amd/nvidia war between you 2......🤣
I know eh? I actually killed someone in CS:GO! Thanks for the idea old chum :)
@@TimmyJoePCTech Haha!! That's pretty crazy.
No problem, great video. 👍
If you for some reason buy this, even used, its worth taking a look at other overclocking tools then amd's own drivers & msi afterburner, like say ati tray tools & for nvidia cards give it a try with nvidia inspector, i maxed out the sliders on a nvidia 8500 gt in msi afterburner at like 640 mhz core & 400 mhz memory, while nvidia inspector gave me more headroom too 730 mhz & 430 mhz memory clock before it started too show graphical glitches, once i tested it in a new testrig with a better powersupply i got 760 mhz core & 450 mhz memory stable.
This was a ddr2 version btw.
Points wise in 3dmark 2001se it went from 17k too 22k which is a decent jump.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff i actually got a pny 2gb ddr3 model im kinda impressed how it can actually play any 1080p 60hz videos just fine and has been a cheap 20 dollar alternative since i sold my main gpu to save for a new gen one. now i can use my pc for media stuff and old school games like crono trigger and lastly it gives 20 bucks to some kids pocket haha he seem excited!!
Dude you could have booted of another GPU or an ipgu to flash it to the old bios, no need to destroy it...
Lots poor people would wish for in in world tool
AMD: Releases zen 3
Timmy Joe:
Here's an AMD R7 240 2GB!
I can recall almost buying this gpu back in 2012 for my first rig. Didn't know a thing about PCs. I ended up getting a R9 290 4gb for almost the same price and that jet engine is still running to this day lol.
"That's why you hear BEEPING in the back of every vide- This videos sponsored by Be Quiet!" Idk why I found that so funny 🤣
i remember having r7 240 still in 2018 before upgrading to a gtx 1060 6gb later that year, I dont remember if I had the 2gb ddr3 or the 1gb gddr5 version, but back then i ran fortnite in season 4 and up to like season 6 or 7 and i got avg 60 fps on 720p competetive settings, it just shows how fortnite got alot more demanding since then
what people dont seem to get is that the Radeon R7 240 is a "Lightweight" gaming card. It was NOT created to match a GTX's performance. It was created as a cheap, lightweight alternative to play very light gaming on games from 2012-2017 or so. Trying to play graphically intensive games like RDD 2 on this card is just a setup to make it look bad. Whereas if you want to do the opposite You could play the worlds most popular PC game GTA 5 at around 40 FPS, which is better than or equal to a playstation expierence all on a card you can buy for $25-30 or so on ebay. I like Timmy Joe and his videos, but why sh*t on an old budget card that is 7+ years old and cost under $100 when it was new, because it cant play a game that came out yesterday? It doesnt make any sense. The selling points for this card is it will go into any PC reguardless of the power supply and also it is Direct x12 and has decent driver support. If you have a small low profile PC and cant put in a powerful graphics card because of your budget etc this card is a good choice to allow for some light gaming. It will play GTA V and Fortnite pretty well and these are the 2 most popular games overall right now. I have the Asus 2GB version of this card in my old Dell Optiplex and I only play 3 games (GTA V, NFS 2015, and Fortnite) and it plays all 3 pretty well and I paid like $25 for the card!
I bought it as second gpu so I can do VFIO
ofc this real comment has only five likes and probably down voted by fanboys because they can't take valid criticism. and to add on that, why every condescending tech vlogger use cs go as game reference for low end cheap gpu? heck it can run smoothly on low settings on my old laptop using intel hd 4000 integrated graphics.
I believe something is wrong with that r7 240 i ve been using r7 240 2gb msi model for 3-4 and i honestly never got that low fps on anything i played crisis 3 with playable fps and i am playing cs go everyday with over 60 fps on high settings with 720p(i have a 720p monitor) but maybe my cpu might be carrying it (xeon e5450 the lga775 beast). But nice video over all thanks for giving attention to this card in 2020 i really love it and played most of the games on it. Many people still use this card in 2020 and its nice seeing someone actually take a look at it again.
Fun fact, this is actually a re-brand of the OEM Radeon HD8570 and the drivers are basically interchangeable.
That ending tho! Nice job once again man I thoroughly enjoyed that.
THANK YOU!! of the people, by the people and FOR the people right there! appreciate the chuckle man, I needed that.
I swear those vids are more fun to watch than any new nvidia gpu review out there! Its kinda fun to try and overclok the thing to its limit.
this was the first gpu i ever had in any gaming rig and i still have it on my desk right now
same i have the saphire passive cooled one
I have an XFX version of this card in my old AMD Athlon II X4 295 @ 2.9Ghz with 8GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM, 120GB SSD, 1TB HDD rig at work I use on a daily basis(I work for a nonprofit where sometimes you have to make it happen yourself if you want it done) running Manjaro Linux W/MATE DE, and with a basic 24in 1080p 60hz monitor it handles UA-cam, Hulu, office work with Libreoffice/Google Docs just fine, and even some light gaming when I have downtime in games like Horizon Chase Turbo, Streets of Rage 4, Pac Man 256, etc... So I think it's still a good card if you still have a computer of that vintage kicking around that can't take anything faster, you can find it at a good price, you run a lightweight Linux distro like Manjaro MATE so it's not so resource heavy like Windows 10, and keep your expectations in check. lastly a bonus to running this card on Linux is with the latest Linux kernel updates, the AMD coded open source drivers are better than in Windows if you don't care about using 3rd party tools to overclock the card, and let it run stock, and with a temp gun even after gaming, or a long session of Hulu, I've never seen my card hit over 105F/40C.
love the content man. glad i found you. keep it up
i still use it bc i only make 110€ per month so it was really expensive for me. The 2GB version still runs great and lets me play with my brother in another country
love your videos, we are here with ya Timmy Joe
Now, this is the quality content I subscribed for.
Keep up the awesome videos, man. c:
lol I have this card runs LOL, Neverwinter, Minecraft and various old games and indies but thats about its limit of what good you can get from it. Had it for years in my lil optiplex. Great vid as always!
Here for the background beeps . funny vid man
it performes alright when overclocked. have mine running on 1030 core and 1175 mem, in some games the performance jump is unreal, from 25 fps to a nice playable 35-40
720p low ofc

Studio is really looking good!
its not the gt 710 that sells the video, its the way he presents the content. He is quite entertaining and his delivery of the script well worth the watch. By the way, the entertaining "script" and delivery of the content is the reason I started watching TimmyJoe. :)
BIG *Crunch*
Well done Timmy!
I used to have one of these cards in my first pc i built myself. If you paired it with one of the old amd APUs it could actually share the graphics memory from the apu with the gpu. I had it paired with an a8 7600 and got actually decent fps in games like war thunder and the total war series as well as battlefield 1
Great video Timmy Joe!
keep it up mate it was a welcome break :) :)
Man, this is why I watch your channel. Its because you make me smile. Also, this reminds me of the old days.
When do we get to see a TJ & Dawid crossover? Maybe a $50 PC challenge? Love both your channels, it'd be so cool to see a fun collab project.
Him breaking a R7 240
Me on HD 4000 graphics :why did you do that lol
on MSI afterburner you should be able to extend the OC limits on these cards I think, in some of the settings menu, if the voltage is not too low it should do 1GHz+, but sadly your card is the DDR3 64bits, if it was 128bits it would be a beast (HA not really, but clearly better than this), still fun stuff, I think low end hardware is what many people are using and also watching youtube videos about, no surprise.
Isn't the BeQuiet silent loop made by Alpahacool? I tried to get one a couple of years ago but they're impossible to get in the states. I want to see some benchmarks.
I missed this Era of pc parts, I love these type of videos
Another great intro as usual!!!
Love silly stuff like this. Keep it up. I just snagged a couple Quadro NVS 290s for simple video outs for Ryzen CPUs with out integrated graphics. Might mess around one of them though...
in msi afterburner settings there is an option called "extend official overclockinglimits" und amd compatibility options
I drive one of those JLG manlifts for work, I didn't notice the beeps until the end of the video. lol
Is the graphics card of the amd r7 200 series the same as the amd r7 240?
Please answer me
How much force did you exert to break a card??
Why a bigger heatsink? Think about what you said for which kind of systems this card could make sense. Those SFF systems can get quite warm inside!
That GPU aesthetic takes me back to the year 2000.
Quick question if anyone knows. Is it normal for your cpu speed to drop and boost something like it will boost for 4.2 for about 10sec then drop to 1.2 for 3 sec and it will go on and on. The whole time.
So I find it hilarious that immediately talking about the construction crew making noise outside you window that you had a sponsor a spot from “be quiet!”
It’s almost a meta commentary!
I feel your pain man, I am working from home and they are piledriving dozens of steel beams into the ground next to our building as they are erecting a hotel next door.
I love the oddball videos!!!
I use a gt710 in my server. It's only job is displaying the bios and unraid gui, it has no fan and uses almost no power, I only have it there so the other cards can be allocated tasks more easily (for vm passthrough and plex)
I do allow the gt710 to decode video for Emby (a plex alternative) and it works but it almost never gets asked to do that.
Unfortunately unraid doesn't go well with AMD gpu's (unless they are just for vm passthrough) or i might pick this for future builds.
Can you RTX ON your audio to mask out the truck beeps?
@3:45 The perfect meme for Linus - about to suckle the corporate . . . . well, you know
ive got one on my desk right know, for a server with only vga out. yes it for the hdmi.
I keep one of these GPUs (R7 250 2Gb) lying around for video card trouble shooting. It's really useful for that sort of thing or just using it for extra display outs.
I actually have an XFX version of this card in my office PC running Manjaro Linux, and on a basic 24in 60hz 1080p monitor it runs just fine for watching UA-cam, zoom conference calls, basic office task, and the odd lowend game like Pacman 256, or Streets of Rage 4 on low settings using STEAM for Linux when I have some downtime at work, but no it's not a card for normal gaming by any means, but if you find one super cheap for an old machine with Linux it gets the job done for the basics.
On a side note there has been a few times I heard that Beeping in the background of your Videos & thought it was part of the Music lol!
1:50 "so I have a friend..."
*Proceeds to say dawid's name wrong*
The beeping! Across from my house it has been 4yrs of beeping. They took down the forest and built townhomes. 4 years!
Lol loved the video, please mess around with more stuff like this. Although snapping the card in half hurt me a little lmao. Find more cards to unlock performance with different BIOs please
the new version of gt710 can't be used in a sff case though. it's got full-size backplate.
Don't worry your my favourite youtuber even without a ryzen 5000 review
I have that GT 710 2GB but this one has GDDR 5 and the card is in my aunts PC, and just like you said it was for a old Dell (old as in Q9400) and I was able to play Half Life 2 and for shits and giggles I installed Dirty Bomb and it ran fine @ 1080P and mix of low and med settings.
ive got 4 of these in a retro gaming machine (dual Xeon and Esxi) they are really good for windows XP gaming once you modify some drivers.
Please do some insane mods to this old hardware. You're the best at this. And at @13:54 that was pirceless.
Get another one and Cross Fire them, lol, these are the videos that caught my attention on your channel last year. Love the old TJ, good to see you having fun again though. Keep on keeping on Timmy.
I actually have an r5 240 in my past computer that was a dell office unit. Not good for games at all but worked basically to get dual monitor.
Your description of gaming on the R7 240 was spot on. A fitting end to e-waste.
other channel: review Ryzen 5xxx
Timmy: *haha R7 240 goes brrr*
How did Crysis 3 not run on here when it's on the Xbox 360
Normally if you have the dead card in slot 2 and another card so you can see what your doing you can flash back to original bios.
(Unless the bios was so broken that it no longer shows up on the pcie bus)
You need to work with the Lowspec Gamer for these GPUs!
That would make a great video!
You have inspired me to try flashing the RTX3090 BIOS onto my GTX1070! I'll let you know how it goes....,
I'm waiting for Timmy to try to make some sort of improvised instrument and harmonize with he beeping
Ltt actually made a video responding to the points you made at the start
I almost bricked a Ryzen5 3600 , not sure what happened bent a few pins but I think I did that after I removed it. It wouldnt work in an MSI B350 Tomahawk despite a BIOS update but it managed to work in my Gigabyte B450 Aorus .
That fire strike score made me laugh so hard hahaha 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 love the videos Timmy! You da man!
Also can't even imagine going from a rtx 2080ti or even a GTX 1080ti to a r7 270 lol
Beep beep beep... lol We are pulling for you. They will be done one of these days and you will feel weird not hearing it.
That ending 😬🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I hope they give you breaks with that beeping. Damnnn.
I had two 760s in SLI for years. My pride and joy. Bought em almost new. Used em till 2018, and then did a new upgrade in 2018 and retired them.
Just one of your old 760 cards is much better than the AMD card he had and the 710. I have a gt560 1 Gb that I retired this summer and it has way better specs than this.
I almost made a separate comment to use the RTX Voice to block out the beeping but these low end cards wouldn't support that, would they. I'm not sure it would work anyway but it can't hurt.
I have the exact same card(yeah i know its crap) but i can't at all oc its memory, it always shows glitches even at 20 or 30+ mhz and crash on anything above it! 😢
I dont know why though. Usually for core clock I put it at 760mhz(just to be in the safe part)
I bought one today just to have an extra hdmi output for and older desktop I decided to install ubuntu on so I can use a second monitor
really starting to miss your vids tim.
looking to get a r7 240 in 2022 used to replace a hd6550... lol
I have 2 of these old land fill ornaments from an old dell PC I bought awhile back. Sorry Tim, I just couldn't get through half of this video knowing what the results would be already.
You should try recording with Nvidia broadcast to get Rid of background noise
Im on the amd radeon 200 series idk if thats better then this gpu but i get 140 fps on fortnite can someone respond if its good
This is way more interesting than another RTX 3070 YT review
I play DDO, iron blade, Raid Shadow, Neverwinter, Path of exile those cards will do on low to med settings just name a few
I have this exact card in my SFF build. Pretty fun to mess around with
OMG I need that cooler lol. stop breaking it
I love that Be quiet sponsors your video Joe! ......... BE QUIET! (loud mouth) ..Joking ! Love your content as always!
Can you make a video for the t 390 as well?
i got an R7250 2gb by powercolor from 2014 and just been replaced for and rx 580 4 months ago. it is decent and a good upgrade to the integrated gpu of kaveri series A10-7700k which does have a r7-240 igpu cut down.this processor is still running and i think its time to replace this with 5600x if i get the availability.
Did like this video alot!!
I have a R7 290X that I use as a place holder GPU, but this is fun to watch old GPUs. let me know if you want to do any testing on it :)
lol I had one of these in a old Lenovo prebuilt a few years ago which I swapped out for a 1050ti, at the time the difference was so vast I felt like I'd upgraded to a 1080ti.
Its interesting because my first pc had a gt740 and a fx 8800p. I had +400mhz on core and im suprised the card didnt just die.
I'm not sure if I'm surprised that it's worse than my fx4100+r9 270x. I did turn off tessellation in the control panel, so I can run some newer games at 15~30 fps. Heck, I've been playing horizon zero dawn and it's not that bad.
The older AMD/NVIDIA Low End GPUS I use in Windows XP 32 Bit Gaming setups. I play stuff from Late DOS - Win XP games and they run them smoothly (depending on the card.) The AMD ones seem to have better compatibility and overall performance for me. Otherwise yes you are right these cards are not for gaming but for other uses and should not be held to the gaming card standards.
🙂 checkout the HD 7570 dell oem 1gb ddr5, they come in short or long bracket, u can play older gog games just fine with them, i use them to gift old dell & hp sff computers, throw on Windows 7 and ur golden, linux distros shud work too, the 7570 is very affordable, theres other variants under the Firewire name, they work similar, try to get the ddr5 versions because it will affect the FPS speed, theres also the gt730 ddr5 similar but it costs a bit more usually
I have a r7 240 paired with a i5 6500 and they get like 75-90 fps in fortnite BR and in creative fortnite like 100-120
I have a weird R7 250 4GB model that doesn’t even show in tech power up. It’s about the same performance as this. 40~50 FPS on 720p.
I know a 250E is a hd 7750
You could always use RTX Voice to get rid of background noise
You can extend the limits in the settings
Oh christ i was stuck with that until a year ago when i was finally able to update and play games newer than 2014 and in not 720p
One of the best videos
Thanks Sunshine!
