The graphics card currently in service, purchased in 15 years of Dog East 618 activities, talking about graphics, personal feeling with the development of technology, ordinary office entertainment applications, CPU integration is actually enough, if you just look at high-definition film, Play simple games, suppress the film, I3 I5 integrated graphics can handle. However, if you want to play smooth racing games, you still have to use a video card. Overall, this video card belongs to my third video card. What were those before? I'm slowly giving it to everyone
-----------1998--------------
Seeing this picture, it is estimated that most people do not know it now, because S3 this company has been completely buried in the history of the beach after the waves, but in 1998 it launched the Savage 3, is still quite awesome. This is the core of my graphics card.
At the end of 1998, at the time of my first working class, I had my first computer under the sponsorship of my family. The machine used the most cost-effective CPU Celeron 300a, Golden Eagle's 440BX motherboard, and Quantum Fireball 6.4G. Hard disk, HY 32M SD PC133 memory, Gengyu (later renamed Gengsheng) savage 3 graphics card, Philips 15b big ass ball monitor, Di Meng S90 sound card, Edifier 1000T sound, down almost fragmented 1W Around the time, the era of housing reform just started, my house to buy the unit, two rooms and one hall 30-40 square it, the total price is calculated to be 3W, a computer is equivalent to 1/3 house. Compared to the current computer prices, it is really outrageous!
When this CPU was the most cost-effective, the CPU after the individual feels rarely exceed it! Of course, this feeling is relative, because in the ordinary state, few CPUs can simply improve their performance by 1/2. And this CPU did it. Also remember that the practice was to mask the B21 pins with a transparent tape, and then let the motherboard recognize the FSB of 133! The main frequency of the structure 300 becomes 450. Haha, the price paid, and the effect of receiving goods, is really the king of the price at that time, from then on, I was substituting for the pit of this cost-effective...
Right, this can be seen under the installation of this CPU it, stand up, after most of the motherboard has joined the jumper to set the function of the FSB, overclocking more simple.
Well, we go back to the theme, the graphics card (in the picture is borrowed online pictures, it should not be the same as the chip, but the same chip), when the mainstream graphics card seems to have only a few options TNT (forget the price) Savage 3D (800-900) And Rage128 (more than 400), of course, 3dfx Voodoo 2, Matrox G200 and the like, too expensive to consider, after the actual comparison, still choose savage s3, remember that was used to compare The game should be motorcycle Hero and Need for Speed. TNT was too expensive to consider, but the rage 128 effect alone can be compared with the SAVAGE one too bad, the entire fluency and light contrast, Savage 3D performance is very good! Here's an excerpt: The Savage 3D is the first 128bit graphics architecture in PC history. It has a pixel fill rate of 125MPixels/s and can generate up to 5 million polygons per second. This data was daunting at the time. . In addition, it also supports Direct3D and OpenGL, with hardware Alpha blending, multiple textures, anti-aliasing, 16/24 bit Z buffering, and tri-linear filtering. S3TC technology pioneered the lossless compression of materials and its MPEG-2 playback acceleration and quality. It was quite good at the time. Then, this video card accompany me for about 5 years and finally it will be eliminated during the upgrade...
-----------Year 2003--------------
In a blink of an eye, five years have passed and the former savage has gone wild again... The memory of the host has been upgraded from 32M to 64M, and then 128M cannot withstand the update of various software games. It can only be retired. The choice of graphics cards is much less, because Voodoo 3DF these companies have faded out of the stage, leaving only NVIDIA and ATI two competing, but the two product lines are enriched, and of course the choice is still cost-effective Now. Although NVIDIA did not have good ATI performance at the time, its good game performance and drive stability still won in the minds of individuals. At this time, the GF3 chip also took about 2 years, and the price was acceptable. The next step is to choose a brand.
In the end, I chose the brand I purchased for the first time. At that time, Gengyu had changed its name to cultivating. The reason for choosing this video card was very simple because it had a "magic jumper". This magic jumper was red in the past. At this very moment, you can directly change the GF3 TI200 into an expensive Quadro DCC professional graphics card. This is the charm of this video card. How attractive is this for users of various mapping software such as 3DMAX?
Haha, this video card I still keep, because it can work, the above fan and heatsink because I feel unsatisfied, to change, it seems okay!
White is the so-called magic jumper!
The sign of ploughing is still faintly visible.
In February 2003, when the middle heatsink was replaced, it was slipped once again. As a result, the printed circuit board on the back board was broken once. The wire was welded on the enameled wire and then the work was done. The video card was still pretty sturdy!
This works on this video card. I don't know that there are several valued friends who have seen the video tutorial "Golden Melody" recorded at that time. At that time, they mixed in the AITOP and cger forums to publish, but it took a Fan Kung Fu, at that time learning SKETCHUP is still quite advanced ... ... Of course, this video card is still very forceful at that time.
As for the other configurations of the upgraded computer, only the CPU can be remembered. It was also the most cost-effective Tualatin core of the year - Celeron 3 1.1G. Although the potential for overclocking is also good, it can no longer be like 300a. Easily increase 1/2 performance. There is also a monitor that has evolved to a flat 17 inch Trinitron.
However, the current video card service machine is not the same type of CPU and motherboard of Tualatin. After that, another one is purchased. The motherboard is Yongzheng's Nforce2 main controller and comes with integrated GF4 MX graphics. When the set is still on the motherboard, unlike now is directly integrated in the CPU.
This motherboard's CPU is AMD's Button 2500 +, which was also a small name in the year, after AMD's most cost-effective CPU should be the black box AMD Athlon 64 5000 +, in the motherboard BIOS settings can be directly open 4 core, dual-core The price of CPU enjoys the performance of 4-core CPU is also very bullish.
—————————————————————————————————
The jump time was a bit large. From the year of 03 to the time of 15 years, no graphics card was bought anymore. Because the personal feeling set (mei) is (shi) power (jian) can (wan). (you) come (xi) (le)......
Here, to mention apu, excerpt Baidu paragraph: "APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Chinese name is called Accelerated Processing Unit, is AMD's "Future in the future" concept of the product, it will be the first time the central processor and independent core On a chip, it also has the processing performance of a high-performance processor and the latest discrete graphics card. It supports "accelerated computing" for DX11 games and the latest applications, and greatly improves the efficiency of computer operations. "This is where everyone should understand it. The APU simply means that the graphics card and CPU are integrated together. Of course, it is actually a lot more complicated. Here I don't know clearly, that is, if the office + simple entertainment, buy APU, independent graphics card can not be considered!
In 13 years, when the bear child was 3 years old, he finally had a little time to touch the computer and he upgraded the host computer. The selected accessory is the I3-2120 CPU, which integrates the HD GPU 2000 core GPU to handle various documents. And Internet browsing and other work is still handy!
Motherboard for the cost-effective, online scouring a disassemble board ASUS P8H67-M, board fine, good use, but later found some problems, SATA2 interface can not be used, but fortunately there are two SATA3 interface, Minato, but you can see from the side, this motherboard's interface is how rich, mainly the section display, HDMI, VGA and DIV all. Of course, the display is still the core of the I3-2120. Speaking of this, in fact, everyone with the best machine according to their own requirements to use the shortcomings, because most of the hardware can meet the general office requirements, the memory is relatively large, and then add the SSD, it is very convenient. As for game fans or graphic workers, they say something else.
Next to the test driver's license as an excuse, and defeated the goods, telling the truth to set against the three-dimensional mentor this game is enough, because no special effects, as long as the car well on the line, although the visual angle, feel, clutch throttle The brake lights and driving school cars are definitely different, but in the actual practice, it is still useful for the final road test.
You can think about this by practicing the car, but taking the G27 to practice this alone is a bit overkill! To deal with G27 or Need for Speed ​​16 and dust series to enjoy! But this time set is a bottleneck!
Just caught up with 618 and lost it! EVEA's GTX960
Now look at the white line stage at that time is still quite awesome, 56.83 per month, down less than 2 dollars a day, the effect is still quite forceful.
This time G27 will have its place
The beginning of the CG animation, although the Need for Speed ​​16 is an old game, but the effect is still fully baked after the graphics card
Borrowed a period of time before the test chassis video, haha, video card steering wheel alignment, still quite addictive, the difference is to move outside to use the projection.
We returned to look at the unboxing of the graphics card, a molded foam packaging box, and the protection provided to the graphics card is quite comprehensive, a few warranty cards, a driver disk, and a game poster.
The whole is divided into two slots. One is the main body of the graphics card, and the other is the accessory. The accessory is a power line with a double 6p to 8p power cable, and a DVI to VGA adapter.
The first picture card
The overall size is very large and there are many originals on the backplane
The specific model, though it is the American brand, is made in China!
Heat sinks and copper tubes can be seen from the side
The total weight of 688.8 grams
The screws used to fasten the heat sink to the graphics card are also very special. They are spring loaded. It is estimated that it is too tight to crush the core.
After dismantling, you can see that the beautiful heat sink and the core of the graphics card are in contact with copper material. The four corners have protrusions. The role should also be to prevent crushing the core. The entire three copper tubes and the heat sink are also very beautiful. Between the heat sink and the board, there is a layer of metal sheet insulation. It is estimated to play a protective role.
The core of the graphics card power supply, using solid capacitors
The tail is connected to the fan's cable, and an interface reserved on the right side does not know what the effect is. It is regrettable that there is still an empty original position. It is estimated that in order to save costs, the original capacitor design is cancelled.
At the heart of the GTX960, there is no good thermal silica on the hand and there is no cleanup. There is also a photo of the chip in front of you.
Open the protected metal plate, you can see the original board original, and most of the original patch, very small, the back of the board the original few, mostly concentrated in the interface.
Unplug the fan cable can be divided into three parts.
From the bottom up, the originals gradually decrease
In turn, look at this empty side...
The back of the look is still quite dense
One DVI interface, one HDMI interface, and three DP interfaces are quite rich
Measured the weight of the heat sink, 405.6 grams, accounting for 2/3 of the overall quality.
The beautiful radiator is really beautiful from the side.
Pros and cons again two.
The close-up of the middle four screws, the spring and a half of the screw are used to protect the graphics core.
This is still really a good name for the gas hood.
The current configuration of the whole machine is the result of a small upgrade after a chance to measure the chassis (compact design: Fractal Design Node 202 Slim case). The current use is very smooth.
Power consumption is also acceptable, playing a dust 4, Need for Speed ​​18 and the like is quite awesome.
The road to upgrade my graphics card is currently here. There is no comparison of various technical performances. I would like to tell everyone:
With the machine must see its own use, if there are conditions, you can actually try out the best on the market, electronic products update too fast, especially new products, some prices are really too high, can not Only the pursuit of the highest configuration, the best for their own needs, of course, can run into the various activities of Jingdong and the opportunity of free white section, or quite awesome! I hope everyone can choose their own graphics card, with your favorite computer!
