[FishOnAComputer]

Is the evga gts 450 1gb 128 bit gddr 5 good for $32.11?

i got it for 25 but with shipping 32 i mean its going to be used for gaming but its more for budget gaming like its the best i can get for $25 no?

[MyNameIsJ3ff]

I feel like its pretty slim pickings from that price point. So yeah I'd say its alright, just know you get what you pay for.

apparently it was used for business mostly so just some cosmetic wear  i know its nothing crazy but just something that can run games like the isle and ark survival evolved

I got a GTX 460 for $50 and free shipping. It's considerably better than the GTS 450.

I mean the GTS 450 supports SLI so just get two of them. Lowball an offer like 2 GTS 450s for like $40. SLI bridges are cheap, like $10 and free shipping.

Hahahaha. My 580 ran Fallout 4 at Low at like 30-45 while I used it.

I agree, it was just a suggestion though.

 

Get a used 750ti. They're like 70 bucks on eBay and a little more on Amazon.

sli 580s fared no better. the 1.5gb vram made it unplayable tbh. even on medium 1080p in diamond city for example it was just stuttery even tho the fps was okay. fraps would say 40fps or so but it would just be a slideshow because the vram choke

I honestly expected a bit more from the 580, but my 460 did fallout 4 better than my 580 did. Strange, but it might just be cause nVidia fucked up the 5xx series.

i don't want to run ark or the isle high or even medium specs just enough that it runs smooth and i can be able to tell what's going on i'm okay with gta san andreas graphics like i have no standards

How did they manage that? I have owned/ran both SLI 570's and 580's and I just assumed it was garbage because it's a dead architecture that really shouldn't be in use by anyone in 2017. Scaling was non-existent in 50% of the games that supposedly support sli.

no like the 450 will literally run ark on low 720p with 15fps. it would be unplayable you may as well click through microsoft powerpoint really fast

i had a gigabyte gtx 1060 but i sold it because i bottle necked it so bad like my cpu was crap so i decided no use in keeping it since i cant afford a cpu might as well not keep it

CUDA was very poorly implemented in the 5 series. Games like Fallout 4 actually use CUDA for physics calculations. Power management was a joke, especially with the 580. Dual 550ti's run Fallout 4 and Skyrim fairly well.

My 460 ran Fallout 4 at 1600x900 on Medium at 30-50 FPS, and 60 in some less dense areas. But you're right, the 450GTS is still garbage. People are still trying to sell GTX 280/295s for $80+ on Amazon...you'd have to be a mook to buy those.

... what cpu do you have ... and why did you sell a 1060 because the bottleneck was too big? Lmao ima go sell my r9 fury bc my fx bottlenecks it by 10% and use a gts 450 instead? no. you should have just held onto the 1060

That was a mistake. My 1050ti FTW bottlenecks my E3-1240 by like 50-60% and I'm not selling my CPU and getting a weaker one...Hahaha I got it for $95 and it usually goes for $300+. I'm saving up for a GTX 1080ti or whatever comes next. GTX 2050 lol

Yeah DX11 is pretty much a necessity for A+ games these days, or even Vulkan. Vulkan wasn't even being developed when the 2xx came out.

Is it AMD or Intel? Just go to System Properties or run CPU-Z.
