Nvidia's launches the dirt cheap GeForce GT 710 graphics card

[Draconian]

For $50 you could buy a used card on eBay that would be much faster than this.

I appreciate Nvidia releasing such a low cost card, but the specs need to be better.

The 8800GT is still the faster card lol, despite it being 9 years old, it has 4 times the memory bandwidth and is a completely different architecture, back before they were called cuda cores, the stream processor days.

They are still stream processors. "CUDA cores" is just a marketing term Nvidia uses for the stream processors on their GPUs, due to the fact that CUDA (like any GPGPU API) is handled by stream processors. Like any GPU, it's an array of small FPUs that still uses the stream processing paradigm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_processing).

This card is about as useless as tits on a boar hog.

Most of already knew the a "boar", is basically a male pig. Hence not that much need to embellish the cliche.

With that out of the way, PCI-E has been around since Intel's 9xx chipsets. I have no doubt that those IGP platforms could benefit greatly from these cards.

So maybe Skylake IGP would equal the performance of these cards, but early Sandy Bridge, I wouldn't be so sure.

If we combine this card in x16 sli, performance will be almost like a titan x and will be much cheaper-640$

10x faster than iGP? What type of iGP? Maybe IG of some boards back in 2008, like AM3 790GX ou Intel HD2000 on Sandy Bridge cpus becouse the newest IGPs like Iris Pro are 3 or 4x better than this.. at least.

Manufacturers are still putting VGA on their cards? That connector needs to die, and has for over a decade.

Yeah well, since you don't need one, nobody else should be allowed to need or have one. You should write nVidia a nasty letter. Tell them how you really feel.

Then cut and paste another to the other graphics vendors since they also include VGA-out on budget cards, since there are a fair number of monitors and TV's (especially in the budget market these cards also service) that are VGA only- including some still currently being sold.
After manufacturing, packaging, and shipping costs I'm guessing that aaron would find out that including an adapter eats into the profit margin...although we are destined to never find out since the half life of righteous indignation on a tech forum probably meant he'd forgotten all about it a few minutes after clicking the "Post Reply" button.

Yeah, he's probably wandering around like Moses in the wilderness, in the mental vacuum left by the ejaculation of that thought.

I'm insulted as well that he did not mention the generous tip I left at the last supper, even the wine tasted a bit watered down.

I know, right. All of a sudden, "give us Barabbas", starts to make a whole lot of sense.

Dunno why, but I usually fart when I'm bored.......oops, better check muh pants.
