DAMN.

This X800 sucks. Can't get full resolution multihead. Sigh. I could run at reduced resolution on my LCDs...

no way.

Ugh...need to find another card...

Re: &lt;play taps&gt;RadeonHD 5770 dead at ... ~10?

I've got a Radeon HD5850 1GB card that I think is nearing its end. It first went unstable in my dad's system (ran in that system 2010-2016), then suddenly became unable to run triple monitors on my setup (ran in my main computer 2016-2018), and now it's locking up and becoming unresponsive under load in my spare gaming system, which is almost a carbon copy of Main Computer v1.4 from 2016. (been running there since 2018)

Re: &lt;play taps&gt;RadeonHD 5770 dead at ... ~10?

Yeah that card died, though the 'new' fan seemed to push more air. Pretty much was up to the heatsink and there was no way to get another thicker hs there - more pcie cards are coming...

Yeah, like I mentioned, the stock heatsinks are just crap, so sometimes even a better fan cannot help them.

Still, considering your card did 10 years with its stock cooler - that's pretty decent life... and sort of does show that the HD5k are fairly tough overall... but could probably last much longer with better cooling.

Though something 5770-like in speeds would be nice... not sure how much these go for these days due to conflicting reports in this thread of it being both "old" and "fast" at the same time??? Which is it?

Well, it's both, currently.
Why? Because of the chip shortage. If it wasn't for that, an HD5770 would be considered extremely outdated and probably going for like $10 max shipped to your door... or even less. But because of GPU shortage, people are now starting to buy even old stock stuff - especially people that have lost a new card due to a failure and don't have anything to replace it with (or just the cash for a new card.) So from what I've been watching over the last 1-2 years on Ebay, cards like the HD5770 with the chip shortage (especially recently in the last 6 months) have been going around $20-30 for a working one. Ironically, the HD6850 & HD6870 (a good or slight step-up from the 5770, depending from which age point you look at it) was going for those kind of prices a year ago, and even cheaper 2 years ago... but now is topping $30-40 most of the time.

How much would a RadeonHD 6450 be worth?

For online prices... I wouldn't pay more than $10 shipped to my door. They're not really that worthwhile, unless you just need a basic display adapter for an old PC that has worse onboard/IGP.

Seems like a crappy 64-bit card. Ugh. Really should say "never again" after experimenting with them alas dire times call for dire actions...if it were real cheap...

Yeah, it is a crappy 64-bit card... though compared to my Radeon HD2400 Pro/XT cards, it's noticeably better in some old games... if that's anything to judge by. On modern 3D stuff, it's a crapshoot. $3-5 extra can get you HD4670 (OK), HD7570 (better, though not quite 5770 performance yet), or stuff like the Quadro 600 I showed on the last page. Or if you want to burn 3x the electricity of the Quadro 600, keep you PC (and house) toasty, and still get the same performance as the Q 600, then the Quadro FX 4600 check that box (it's essentially an oldschool 8800 GTS/GTX.)

The RadeonHD 3650 died faster than the 5770. Lasted ⅓ as long IIRC...

It all depends on the temperature it ran... and a little bit of luck too, of course.

G210...theoretically IS an 8400GS.

Yup.
Which is why I always thought it was funny that people would sometimes pay more and opt for a "newer" GeForce 210 than get an "older" GeForce 8500 (/9400) or 8600 (/9500) - both of which offer 2-8x better performance than the 8400/210.

3650s are a pain in the balls. At least the Mobility HD3650 I have...

That's because the 3650's performance to power consumption ratio was pretty terrible. I'm sure they had some optimizations for the mobile version... but it was already a weak card even for the desktop version and with relatively high TDP (64 Watts.) For just 20-30 Watts more, you get the 3850/3870, and that would smoke the 3650 out of the water back then. So because the 3650 was such a weak card, it regularly had to run full tilt to get any small performance out of it... and that's why it also always ran hot. ATI/AMD really stepped it up with the HD4k series on the mid and high-end.

I have an HD4850

I have a bunch of those as well. Only not offering them because they are a reflown cards. 8 cards for $18 total shipped to me, back a few years ago when prices weren't crazy. Got 4 or 5 out 8 revived... though 1 is iffy, and another one might be dieing after using it for some fan mods and heatsink experiments.

FWIW, the 4850 is more or less equivalent to the 5770... though I'm not sure if HD4k has OpenCL support. Techpowerup pages says YES, but I don't see my GPU-Z screenshots showing any of mine having OpenCL support.

Damn, surplus shop had no PCIe GPUs, only had one AGP. Grr...

0.o
Was it anything decent? If it was and it was cheap, you can buy it, flip it on the bay for more (provided it's a somewhat more "rare" card) and then use the funds for a PCI-E GPU.

Dig out that voodoo5500 while you're at it.

BTW this X800 is confusing the heck out of gdm after replacing the 5770. *sigh* have to run single headed again.

Re: &lt;play taps&gt;RadeonHD 5770 dead at ... ~10?

need to get my voodoo3 back and sell that to fund a new pcie card.
sigh, have only a small pile of crappy pci and agp cards now...

Re: &lt;play taps&gt;RadeonHD 5770 dead at ... ~10?

wow these are going up in price lol. I'll probably later get it in my...not teenhood system (the motherboard I still have, but hates 4x cards) but the one after that. K7S5A /w T-bird 1.33. Windows 2000 and original tribes. Originally had a voodoo 3 2000 in there then a geforce 3 ti 200 which I threw away because it's dead (it has...you guessed it...bad caps, which failed to work even after replacement)

Real-world bidding they are about where they've always been. The retarded BIN prices are just that.... The ones that went stupid high for some reason are SLI voodoo2 setups... they're worth more now than they were new!

Re: &lt;play taps&gt;RadeonHD 5770 dead at ... ~10?

I've done that too....packed something away so well I either forgot about it or couldn't find it again later...

I'll find it. I know I put it in a solid place where it can't be crushed or hurt

Re: &lt;play taps&gt;RadeonHD 5770 dead at ... ~10?

3650s are a pain in the balls. At least the Mobility HD3650 I have in my Acer 6530G literally died after repasting with MX4. I have sound but no display output, as if the card simply isn't there and the mobo boots from a blind HD3200 IGP.

Ironically, the Mobility 4330/4530/4570, 4650, 5470 and 5650 are tough as nails. I have both a DV6-2115eo (4650) and a DV6-3125sa. The former had a bad IGP that got fixed by a reflow (the GPU was fine) and the latter had a GPU that went bad because of dried (so dry that it just crumbled) paste. 3200s and 3650s though, they're both horrendous pain in the balls. 3200 IGPs and 3650 GPUs are literal nightmares, to the point I try and avoid them in VERY flawed designs (1st generation HP DV7s, that crappy HSF doesn't even have any other mounting points than the CPU, so the GPU and IGP rely on thermal pads to stick together. DV5s don't have this stupid issue, both Intels and AMDs having their GPU and IGP HSF reinforced through both sides.)

Then again the 3650 will POST still. The 5770 is DIW.

Re: &lt;play taps&gt;RadeonHD 5770 dead at ... ~10?

G210...theoretically IS an 8400GS. Hence why subsequent releases of the 8400GS were based on the GT218 core. (older interim cards between G86 and GT218 were G98 based)

Re: &lt;play taps&gt;RadeonHD 5770 dead at ... ~10?

Is it your own built application?

Yeah that card died, though the 'new' fan seemed to push more air. Pretty much was up to the heatsink and there was no way to get another thicker hs there - more pcie cards are coming...

No, not g2010, it's an nvidia G210 according to Linux. PCIe too. It's definitely slow, 8400GS speeds and era.

my cpu is a sandybridge, but only one video port, thus lacking in this aspect alone. At least the cooling problem for it is solved...

Hooked up the X800 to my monitors, good for the time being. Though something 5770-like in speeds would be nice... not sure how much these go for these days due to conflicting reports in this thread of it being both "old" and "fast" at the same time??? Which is it?

Just have to delay opencl experimentation for now...
