Once upon a time, you were able to get SLI/Crossfire with ATI gpu and a nvidia gpu.
The software that allowed this was never heard of afterwards.

And then there were some stuff that allowed you to use nVidia card as a physX card and a seperate (AMD) card as your main GPU. nVidia later prevented usage of that in their later drivers, but with certain driver versions, it's still possibleIppE wrote:

There was also a driver that enabled SLI on Crossfire motherboards like mine.
It still exists and works with new cards. :3c

NVidia Riva TNT2 M64, 32MB
Ok, that was ten years ago, i'm using an overclocked Gigabyte GTX560 right now. Still, that TNT2 was an amazing card.
Why would you even buy a GT610? I'm kinda curious about how much it costed you and what card you were using before.
I'm serious, low end graphics cards aren't really worth even the 30/40$ you spend for them.

,if i sell my house i can buy one too Intel HD Graphics 4000.
Shouldn't this be in General Discussion? Threads of "post your x" generally hang there. Not that I'm complaining, but hey, it just crossed my mind.

Why!? may you ask
Well I use it to run third (and maybe 4th) monitor on it. (It doesn't need any more power than to run them in 2d mode at 60hz)

Now THAT'S something like what I want to get later on, but for now, I'll stick with the GT610. It runs better than my integrated graphics at least. I can even run fullscreen 3D games at around max resolution with near max graphics settings with only some spike lags, rather than requiring to be in OpenGL (in this game) or DirectX 8 (games like TF2) at lowest graphics settings possible, and STILL have major FPS lag.RBRat3 wrote:

Integrated graphics is bad, but you have a LOOOOONG way to go before you can even grasp what a horrid comparison the 610 is to that 6950.eternityglacier wrote:

And with the exception of Valve, the only games you may actually be running maxed out on that card would have to be at least 5 years old. In fact, it's not really "max resolution" because that would have to be 1080p, so your card can't even handle the modern Valve games on "max". Like, I don't want to get you sad or anything, but a 610 is nearly at the bottom of the ladder, with the only things slower than it being older iterations of x10's, AMD's budget counterparts, and iGPUs. Heck, the shiny new HD Graphics 4000 is probably better than your card by now. Your GPU isn't even using the latest Kepler architecture, it's just a rebranded 520.
The 6950 (stock) is 14 and a half times as powerful as your card. The more recent nVIDIA 680 is almost 20 times as powerful as your card. Hell, even the graphics card that I have in my laptop right now (GT 540M) is almost twice as fast as the graphics card that you have.
So does that give you an idea of the whole scale of everything? Please, to avoid making yourself look like an idiot next time, don't go making GPU threads when the brand spanking new GPU you just got is a bottom-tier, budget card. Or if you did all of this thinking your card is freaking fantastic... and you still think it is after reading this, then I'm sorry but you are a moron.

This graph gives you an idea of how it can work.
On games like Borderlands 2 and such, I get over 80 fps. Games like WoW I would get around 60, cause it seems to cap there. (Not sure if you can set some sort of limit on fps for that game)
On Skyrim, I get over 120 fps. So, the 690 is really a work of art.
Radeon 6950. The card is dying though so I'm probably gonna get a 7XXX series soon.

No I understand that my card is not the best in the world. I was just stating that it is better than my integrated graphics, which by the way is from around when Vista was released (2006). And at the time I got the new card I didn't have the money for a 680.Kitsunemimi wrote:
