My video card that rushed to pull the nuclear door over - 18 years of strange graphics card process

Blindfolded graphics cards used in these years may be even higher than me (ah you are really tall), and the transition of my graphics card and even the entire PC platform is like my never-ending WOW and youth. ... It is still quite a lot to remember it. Just to catch up with Zhang Ama's topic drafting activity, just put the inventory of the bottom pad of the press box out of the box (Yeah, it's actually my beloved baby) and bask in the sun and use it to apply for a public test. I miss my time in these years. Looking at a lot of friends who put chronological notes, I will try my best to reverse the sequence .

The main machine lack of feelings

This year is 2016 and I use the computer's eighteenth year. The latest installation is also the one with the least presence. It may be because the time of use is too short. Suddenly remembered in the "Reporter's Boss" that "computer is a good friend of mankind." Hahaha, people who live with each other day and night should also be a little emotional. The overall assembly idea is the black main tone plus a little white gray accent. The above accessories are very satisfying to my needs. The front SSD is dotted with a slightly monotonous right side. Since many half-module power cords would directly affect the overall color matching, this time we chose the full module black line power supply (pay attention to the color of the plug is more important than the line itself ), this front has completely no see any extra cables and variegated, it turns out if you want a cleaner only on a customized version of the power line road. The chasing winder chassis 399 yuan is not expensive but the shape is very pleasing, the photo side of the side panel is actually 4mm tempered glass, tempered glass vision and scratch (do not ask me why you know) the effect is far better than the acrylic material , If you want to create a cool effect, friends must give priority to.

To say that Gigabyte this video card, GTX 1070 everyone is already very familiar with, Gigabyte this G1 GAMING using three fans performance is very good. Due to the high temperature of the graphics card when the game is running, the current "watch pioneer" has a trend beyond the donut to become the actual temperature benchmark of a new generation of graphics cards. Gigabyte this video card running at 3840x2160 resolution temperature at the beginning of 70 °C is not bad, and there is no legend because The reduction in the number of internal heat pipes significantly reduces the temperature performance. The graphics card has a fan stop technology called FAN STOP, which means that when the load is low, the fan will completely stop and achieve zero noise. This is the standard technology for the new generation of non-public versions. The non-public version of both noise and temperature is important. The player should choose this type of graphics card.

Unfinished initial machine

In fact, the initial machine has pinned me a lot of hope but failed to complete due to various reasons, which can see less common accessories, such as Intel's original tower radiator XTS100H , and legendary Hangjia top power X7-1200 , these Magical accessories actually come from the idea of ​​creating this computer. Initially wanted to build SLI platform, think of Titan Pi Na silver version of the cooling must be installed and Intel's original tower is so struggling into the XTS100H also chose the silver chasers 515E, but also curious HuntKey X7-1200 that six-way +12V total 100A The power supply is suitable for multi-cards, so it was already entered early. There are P/Q two-speed strong/weak adjustment at the top of Intel's original styling radiator. There are two LGA 115x's called XTS100H, which are still available. Another four-heat-pipe called Intel DBX-B is already antique because LGA 1366 . In addition HuntKey X7-1200 external plug is 16A air conditioning port, is a half-module cable color miscellaneous is still very hard, the result you understand -_-. Hercules 515E chassis is not equipped with a hard disk rack slightly empty, or put five hard drives to accommodate the big sisters, or a 280mm or 360mm water cooling row is also one of the considerations.

Hatsune Miriam: "Where are you looking?" Well, this is not the point. On this machine you can start to see my strange memory combination. What is the experience of 24GB of four memory banks? Not four 6GB... I first had Kingston HyperX Beast DDR3 2400 4GB, and when the upgrade went to buy another 8GB, the memory capacity could not be matched up with many of my computers below, a bit like a lingering Nightmare -_-. Tell us about the video card, this Sotec GTX970-4GD5 version was bought when the GTX 970 was just around the corner. It looks nothing like the Gigabyte above, but there is a small detail that is worth our attention. It is the true length of the graphics card . The official website and Jingdong parameters clearly tell me that the length of the graphics card is 30cm , but in reality, after the hand reaches the measurement card PCB is about 29cm, the following figure may be more clear, the edge of the heat sink must greatly exceed the PCB, and the final graphics card length is about 32cm . That's right, what I want to say is that the length limit of the graphics card of many friends is actually 30cm. Don't look at this rigorous 2 to 3cm. Small friends buy three fan graphics card chassis, we must pay attention to the real length of the video card.

Remelting No.2 Machine

This is really a disaster. Seeing such a completely invisible memory on the back, the length is a bit NIC, but this is actually my second favorite AMD graphics card (first in the following). The Mini-ITX graphics R9 Nano based on HBM memory, how small in the traditional platform can refer to the following figure, To LOVE ã‚‹ (out of the king) is about 20cm in length, R9 Nano is shorter than her 17cm , but performance is not ambiguous! Putting ATX on the ground is inconsistent, recreating the ITX platform. Now the distress is that now the ITX version of the LGA 1155 motherboard is hard to find, but do not want to choose the Micro-ATX motherboard, change the platform and waste i7-3770K this CPU, distressed ah who has the ITX version of the LGA 1155 motherboard free value me a bar - _-.

Or look at this video card, HBM memory should be considered in the graphics industry in the past two years of black technology, but unfortunately the recent NVIDIA and AMD new cards can not use HBM2 memory. The advantage of HBM memory is not only to reduce the size of the graphics card, of course, the design of the video memory close to the core is conducive to the small graphics card, heat dissipation is also better. The key is to greatly improve the memory bandwidth and speed, especially in the 4K resolution HBM memory advantages will be more obvious , recommend one mind 4K resolution game players pay more attention to the future of NVIDIA and AMD's HBM version of the graphics card.

Kitty Hawk's home on the 3rd

A 4.5GHz Sandy Bridge architecture i5 processor even if not outdated today, unfortunately there is no PCI-E 3.0 and native SATA 6Gb/s interface only two. Suppression of its melting Transformers radiator believes not to introduce too much, just in harmony with the Cooler Master MasterCase Pro5 chassis, Ying-Zhen ice dragon series of these tough shapes. Although the inside of the chassis can still be clean, but pay attention to the common problem of many half-module power - the color of the connector and the nearby cable is not controllable , plus this is my last one with the old drive with the front of the cable more It is particularly hard and can only be done to this degree... Finally, an LED strip is added to make the cable color disappear. In addition, the memory is still non-equal... Did you see that gorgeous 12GB Samsung Samurai? 2×2+2×4.

The eagle hawk of the first map came in perennially on the graphics card. This guy is very fat and heavy! However, even if there are heavy iron bars on the shoulders of ice dragon graphics cards, at least the PCB can't be bent. The presence of high-tech iron bars or metal backplanes on the back of the graphics card is still justified . Yingzhong Ice Dragon is considered to be the earliest known series of heat dissipation in the commercial graphics card series. I was impressed by the fact that this graphics card has never exceeded 70°C in the high load of actual games. Three-fan multi-heat tube fin radiators may be more common today, GTX The 670 era is still rare. Innocent's non-public version of the graphics card mostly uses the public version of the PCB plus an iChill heatsink , which is also a significant difference between the Ingenics and other non-public graphics cards. Finally, a close-up of the Kitty, how much I really love it is simply adorable.

Old and strong fourth machine

The i5-760 also belongs to the long-standing Nehalem architecture and is the product of the Core processor first divided into i3, i5, and i7 (LGA 1156). Since the processor was overclocked at the time mainly relying on the FSB , the 4000MHz frequency was actually obtained with a 190MHz FSB×21x frequency. This overclocking mode ended after the generation of the Core i5 processor, and almost completely afterwards. It is the multiplier. The memory frequency needs to correspond to the FSB, so it is 1900MHz. It must be said that the Samsung Dark Knight memory that has been out of print is very capable, and the memory voltage is only 1.5V. To be honest, the performance of this processor overclocked to 4.0GHz is not too weak today, and it is not too much of a problem with Yinxin's HE01 double tower pressure temperature. Cool Cool CM690 II chassis design is relatively long, it is not neat, and you noticed that the IDE cable drive is not? The P55 chipset is also the motherboard of the last generation of visible IDE interfaces .

Didn't it feel cool enough to put on a TT Riing fan, is it better? Is there a looming AMD logo on the PCB board? The original public version of the Radeon HD 7970 is undoubtedly my favorite AMD graphics card , GCN classic architecture has a strong general-purpose computing capability, as a public version of the card but the internal workmanship is very good, rare dual Mini-DP interface, that The OTES turbo radiator system may seem weak but its performance is excellent. This is still the official overclocking version of GTX 680 listed GHz Edition, many of my old graphics cards are given away, but this is going to do a family heirloom.

Ancient times machine


Is there a change in style? Suddenly it was 2006 and many things happened this year. Intel introduced the Core 2 Duo version of the meat processor, single-core performance super sweep high-frequency low-energy Pentium 4 and D was suppressed by the AMD haze, almost every one can reach the 400MHz FSB market demand also gave birth to Gigabyte ultra-durable With the advent of the series of motherboards, the era of stockpiling of board cards has come. Almost every computer that I can use is heavily overclocked. This chip is also running at a frequency of 2.8 GHz with a FSB of 7, and what kind of heat sink do I use? Intel original radiator ... five years did not die ... This computer is actually my oldest service! It has to be said that the processor temperature and heat control of the deduction period are much stronger than today's. There was no SSD at that time, and it was later replaced by a Western Digital RE3 black disk. You must have noticed that the memory is 512MB × 2 + 1GB × 2 gorgeous capacity of 3GB, 32-bit XP system is just not wasting ... may be the beginning of my memory capacity terrier, 3GB memory capacity is not up until now.

In 2005, "World of Warcraft" began operations. My old Pentium 4 platform encounters opposing players in the wild and must first get stuck for 20 seconds. Coupled with the MC, BWL and other 40 copies of land reclamation really could not hold back, in 2006 when this set of configuration for the 60 World of Warcraft is the rolling level, but the graphics card is not the Leadtek but XFX 7600GT. But less than a year in the land reclamation T5 my beloved XFX 7600GT actually spent the game! The head of the team reminded every day to catch up with the NVIDIA classic G92. Originally, I wanted to buy a 7900GS. I got a GeForce 8800 GT 512MB and the price was 1899 yuan which was the most expensive card I bought. When the 8800 GT went on the market, its OTE fans had two sizes, and this was because of the large openings (but in fact the cooling was not as good as 110°C in the late Zul'Aman, so the OC3 Caribbean was changed). It is worth mentioning that this is the only slot I used OTES thermal graphics card, is my last single-slot video card, you noticed the graphics on the shoulder of the word GEFORCE it? I guess that is the prototype of the light of faith now. Although afterwards, the G92 core not only supports the DX10, but the leaps and bounds of performance let me use World of Warcraft 70 Kil'jaeden's reclamation end without any Caton phenomenon. Let's take a look at 3DMark 06 nostalgia at the time. If today's 3DMark FireStrike Extreme is over 10,000 (GTX 1080 or so) is a symbol of the top performance of a single card, then 3DMark 06 over ten thousand is a symbol of the strong party.

Some scattered memories

The MSI's GTX 560Ti HAWK, which was later given to people, is still rather like the shape of the GF114 core of the Fermi architecture. It has a special identity is the Ti suffix, to know the last time it was 2002 GeForce4 Ti series graphics .

The Saturn GTX 460 1GD5 Extreme Speed ​​Edition, which was later given away, is somewhat similar to the public version but not entirely. After dismantling, you will find that the PCB layout and the public version are exactly the same, but the individual electrical components have changed. This is also a very long period of time. The public version of the graphics card is called the public version of the reason . At that time GTX 460 public version of the radiator is very good performance and GTX 480 performance contrast, the shoulder of the GEFORCE words is not the contrast 8800GT has changed?

Bad graphics card number 2, public version of Radeon HD 5770 (at that time the sign is still ATi). There are two types of HD 5770 public version, the first version is a tall closed OTES fan version, and the figure is called the egg version of the public version is the second edition. What is more novel is that this seemingly very low material and even more compact heat sink is actually better than the first version in most chassis. This may indicate that for most chassis environments, the inner heat dissipation of the graphics card is better than the heat dissipation of the outer row turbine . However, it does not make sense. It broke down after two years.

With a bad graphics card number one, the XFX 7600GT. Before this I naively thought that the video card will not be broken! Is also a single slot cooling, 7600GT actually responded to the World of Warcraft at that time is no problem, I was forced to replace Huaping. The high-tech iron bars on the shoulder of the video card are basically born in this era .

My second computer graphics card C-jun, is the last Radeon 9550 for DX9 exchange, in that year is also considered a hot god card, so far have not bought AGP interface graphics card. It is worth mentioning that at this time the graphics card is DDR memory, and I only began to contact the video card fan from the Radeon 9550 , and previously used products are passive cooling.

My second computer's graphics card B-jun, and later replaced the GeForce4 MX 440 . I heard that the computer is not popular brand machine, the second computer Zhongguancun free to find a counter installed, the CPU is Pentium 4 1.8A, graphics card A Jun is inexplicably selected DX7 initial ATI Radeon 7000/VE, now think about estimation It was pitted-_-. Did not catch up with Rage or earlier A card with some regrets, these two cards GPU passive heat sink above but did not go bad in the end, when the chip fever is really not high.

My first computer was a Hengsheng computer... I don't know if any of my friends know this brand. The first time to buy a brand machine only knows that the Pentium II, did not realize the existence of the graphics card ... ... no way there was not much 3D games, after many years to know is NVIDIA RIVA 128 , is a DX5 era PCI interface graphics card. This NVIDIA RIVA TNT series, which was launched after the card I almost ignored, was unfortunately missed by me. At the time, NVIDIA graphics cards weren't called GeForce ... and I didn't even know what the overclocking, cooling, power consumption, and running points were. I thought it was ignorant. That year was 1998, and Pentium processors still stood on the motherboard 18 years ago.

About applying for testing

Still very much hopefully qualified for the GTX 1080 public beta, the 39.5-inch 3840×2160 resolution monitor, the big wave 3D game, the DX12 test 3DMark Time Spy, and the VR test have been hungry and unbearable ^^. In the hands of the computer, there is no shortage of platforms with excellent game performance. In particular, the main machine that has not yet had time to build feelings and the unfinished first machine are simply in need of a GTX 1080 to form a complete body. Don't want to look at a GEFORCE theme computer with a chassis, cooling, video card, cable, and pure silver green light? Select me choose me choose me

Main link and conclusion

It's more than just the end of the video cards, but some of them, such as the 6600GT, GTX 660Ti, and so on, will not be mentioned. The next stage is not the Intel Valley, which is to build an ITX around the R9 Nano, hoping to have some new feelings. The first main machine is more suitable for the current installation, giving the overall impression that it is oversimplified and slightly lacking in emotion. Maybe add some toy accessories or light effects can be improved, may be better to customize the cable plus some lively colors into it. All the accessories are given here, and the friends who have thoughts can completely play their part.
