Old graphics card

[gipsy danger01]

I recently got an asus GeForce 6800 gt from an co-worker who had no use for it.

Is this card actually still worth something? is it better of with the trash? or is it possible to do some mining with it?

What do you guys think?

Htpc?

It's literally useless. It'll struggle with everything, even HD video or regular use of 1920x1080 screens (browsing, office, etc)

Hardly, the in-built GPU of any modern processor will outperform the 6800 GT, 100%

 

Actually, if you have an old PC that needs a GPU, or use it as a test card if your current one dies. 

Or take it apart...

The 8400GS in my F@H machine struggled with even 1080p video playback when it was my main machine.

Just keep it around in case you need to use it for a computer with no integrated video or something.

I'll just say this. My gts8800 is less powerful than intel HD 4600 integrated graphics, running 12gbs of at least 1866mhz ram.

 

And that card is two generations ahead of the 6800.

Just hold onto it for testing purposes, and to be honest the 6800 was a big jump in terms of the previous cards (if I remember correctly) so kind of cool to just have, and who doesn't want to say when your buddy is bragging about his 980, "well I've got a 6800". Trust me, it is funny especially when they don't know anything and think right off the bat 6800 is better than 980 because "logic"
