Posted November 3, 2016 Hello guys! I have a GTX260, with 2GB dedicated memory (which surprised me too, because on google all the GTX260 available have 896 dedicated memory) and I wonder if this old graphic card will run some games like CS:GO, DOTA, and maybe Crysis 2? Here is a picture of this card's information. P.S.: Sorry for my bad english. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It CAN run those games, but TBH something like a 1050/1050ti, or a used maxwell/hawaii/fiji card would suit you well if your budget is low enough to be considering a 260. Just the APIs available, and the old drivers are likely to cause issues. That being said, you can expect medium-high settings at 1080p if you're targeting 60ish FPS. However, expect many more issues than a modern card due to the fact that is does not support DX11 if you start playing modern games.

Posted November 3, 2016 What resolution do you want to play at? They'll all be quite playable with a GTX 260- Dota 2 and CS:GO probably around 1080p, high settings at 60FPS, and Crysis 2 at 30. However, you won't be playing anything recent and even modestly demanding with it. i5 12600KF | Zotac RTX 4080 Gaming trinity | Team Vulcan 2x16GB DDR4 3600 | ASRock Z690M-ITX/ac | WD Black SN850x 2TB Cooler Master NR200P v2 | ID Cooling Zoomflow 280 XT | SeaSonic Focus SGX-750 | Thermalright 2x140mm + 2x120mm aRGB LG C2 OLED 48" 120hz | Epomaker TH80 (Gateron Yellow) | Logitech MX Master 3 | Koss Porta Pro Comm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 3, 2016 I can't say what games it will run, but I can say that card is not worthless. It's probably better than iGPUs on current systems, so even if it's not great it's still better than no dedicated GPU. Sorry I can't be more helpful here, but I imagine a lot of people here would tell you to throw it away and get a better card, but if you don't have the budget keeping that card is preferable to no card! Yes, it's 2871 as in the year 2871. I traveled all this way, back in time, just to help you. And you thought your mama lied when she said you were special.

Posted November 3, 2016 Update: apparently, a 260 can max out Crysis 2 at 1080p, 30FPS. i5 12600KF | Zotac RTX 4080 Gaming trinity | Team Vulcan 2x16GB DDR4 3600 | ASRock Z690M-ITX/ac | WD Black SN850x 2TB Cooler Master NR200P v2 | ID Cooling Zoomflow 280 XT | SeaSonic Focus SGX-750 | Thermalright 2x140mm + 2x120mm aRGB LG C2 OLED 48" 120hz | Epomaker TH80 (Gateron Yellow) | Logitech MX Master 3 | Koss Porta Pro Comm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 3, 2016 Author Thanks for the answers! One more question about this graphics card. It's something special at it? :)) Because on Amazon, eBay and even on the NVIDIA site I found it with only 896 dedicated memory, and mine have 2GB..

I'd use GPU-Z to verify this, but custom board partners making variants of cards with non-standard RAM configs is by no means uncommon, so this is likely just a custom variant of the GPU. Nothing to worry about at all (in fact it's a good thing)!

Posted November 3, 2016 Author I'm not worrying about it. It just surprised me :)) And yea', in GPU-Z it shows me 1792MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 3, 2016 You should really look into upgrading to an RX 480 or 470. You won't be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
