    WTB: Cheapest Windows 11 compatible GPU money can buy

    A vintage Radeon 5450 would do the trick, or something like the Radeon 8570s you can find on eBay for literally $10 a pop. That's even GCN-level, though in real world performance terms it'll be like low-end integrated video on an FM2+ CPU.

    WTT: Asus TUF RTX 3070 for comparable AMD or Intel card

    Hi there. I'd like to trade my Asus TUF RTX 3070 for a comparable Intel or AMD card. It is a big and beefy boy and reliable, but I'm running Linux and would prefer to switch over to something with uneventful open source support. Let me know what you have. Thanks!

    WTB: 4x2gb DDR2, PCI-E Low-Profile SFF GPU and micro-ATX PSU.

    I don’t have one, but a Quadro K2200 could be a solid fit for that. Low profile GTX 750 Ti-equivalent with 4GB RAM, can be found on eBay for around $35 shipped or less. I even got Doom Eternal running on one tolerably well at 720p.

    WTB: Graphics Card, Cheap

    Ahoy. I was recently laid off and would very much like to put a peppier graphics card into the family PC than the Intel Arc A380 currently residing there. Ideal requirements: 8GB RAM, RTX 3050 or higher performance, as cheap as reasonably possible while still being in working order. Let me know...

    WTB: A770-16GB

    I have a Sparkle Titan A770 in the original box with accessories. $250 shipped, and it's yours.

    Question for the veterans of PC gaming: why was the Radeon 9700 Pro such a big deal?

    The 9700 Pro was a big deal for a number of reasons: - It offered competitive, full-featured DirectX 9.0 support when the API was brand new. Its limitations - FP24 precision, shader model 2.0 support, and others - paled compared to Nvidia's GeForce FX series, which was built on a number of...

    FS: Intel Arc A750 Sparkle ORC OC

    It’s quick. Maybe not Mac Studio/MacBook Pro-quick, but the Arcs are fantastic transcoders.

    WTB gtx 1080 ti or rtx 2080 ti

    Bump because they’re still great outside of lacking ray tracing. I genuinely don’t know why I sold mine a while back.

    WTB/WTTF Cheap Linux/AMD GPU

    I have a 4GB XFX Radeon RX 6500 XT (RDNA2) as well as a 3GB Radeon RX 5300 OEM. Neither is studly but either would be a welcome improvement over a GTX 760. Let me know if you're interested!

    GlobalFoundries to acquire MIPS

    For a long time they straight up made MIPS chips. Even the 3A4000 was MIPS64LE through and through. Reading about LoongArch sorta makes my head hurt but it’s essentially MIPS with an infusion of RISC-V conventions and forward-looking ideas, and a ton of new vector processing instructions as well...

    Ugly GPUs

    I miss the mixture of brute force efficiency and unflinching disregard for aesthetics shown here.

    FS: XFX Radeon QICK 210 6500 XT, Asus EVGA RTX 2060 DUAL-RTX2060-6G-EVO. Will also trade for Arc A310!

    Bump, prices adjusted. I’ll also trade either one of these cards for a working Arc A310, preferably a Sparkle Elf.
