I misread the title as "The GT 740 - Modern Graphics Card" and almost got triggered. :P

man, when black ops cold war started i thought you were playing the original black ops at first

man such a weird feeling being in 2021 already

Give me like 10 years to save up for this card

You know it's bad when your frametime is higher than your FPS

These videos are so wholesome I love how you haven't changed like other channels I love budget builds! People can be so creative

Ayyy, my gt730's older brother

Any card with DDR3 even "DDR4" have worse performance across the board

Glad to see Fallout 4 make its way back to the benchmarks, this game regardless of the bugs, is probably one of my favorite games. Somehow i managed to play it more than any other and its one i never get tired of.

been watching since the 75$ pc vs ps3 days,really happy for the growth of this channel!

I bought a gt 639 with $10 and its it's been 1 year that I got it. And I still use it, say happy birthday to it 😅

this card has a gddr5 version I would love to see how that performs

I am glad you included Fallout 4 I end up going back to it several times every year and i have a blast every time I want to see how well it runs on modern hardware but so many reviewers just bemchmark the newes of the new 3A games each year... a HUGE amount of pc gamers also plays games that , while not old, are a few years old , and still play them and wanna keep playing them even after an upgrade i know this video is of an older and very bad card but i would love to see fallout 4 stay in your future videos

love the content recently man been on fire, I ordered one of the Bucket Hats and it came on NYE and I have been wearing it ever since - my family may think I look like pillock but i love it 😊

I hope your New Years has been good! Your channel is very entertaining!

I love your videos man

Happy New Year! Keep up the great content.

So fast that there were no dislikes. Btw happy new year

Man love your videos Great video as usual 👍🏻

Great video 😊 I would love to see a comparison between both of them 😁

It's my MSI GT730 OC's brother. Happy new year to you and Sophie!

I really enjoy that you added fo4 back into the benchmarks :)

I suggested this!! Thanks :))

Thank u for more videos 😁

stil waiting for that video that tests a gpu that comes in ddr3, gddr3, and gddr5 variants lol

Happy new year, RGinHD! 🎇

I bought a coffee mug from your merch, looking forward to getting it! I'm a new father that no longer has the funds to buy the newest and best so I have been interested in content like yours. I just like to dabble with tech regardless if it's new or old so your content is exactly what I like. Happy New Year to you and your family! I'm fairly new to your channel, do you have links to other socials somewhere?

still watching videos since they're quite entertaining i am just happy that i got GPU (GT 1030) for my 2016 PC (APU A8 7600 with 8GB Ram)

Happy new year mate!

To be honest, it's like back in the days when you tried to run Doom on semi-modern 386 or 486SX computers. I remember playing it it in low-res mode 160x200 at around 15 fps with a window size of a postage stamp. ;) (so really 80x100px or something like that), I think it's incredible that an old lackluster DDR3 card like this CAN actually run the latest games. That in itself is impressive.

Would be interesting to review the GTX 745 which is a cut down GTX 750 with DDR3 and was an OEM only GPU found in multiple prebuilts including gaming PCs

Happy new year 🎆🎊🎈

The first laptop from my brother had a GT 740M. It was a version with 2GB DDR3 but the mobile one just had a 64bit memory interface instead of a 128bit, so it was even slower than this one but for the time we could play every game we wanted, even when we had to turn things down to low, it would run it. Man, good old memorys...

I’m honestly surprised how well Fortnite ran. Crazy how these old and underpowered cards can still pull through in certain games!

I love the classic RGinHD content, some absurdly bad graphics card being given a chance to show what it can still do. This is way more interesting to me than brand new hardware bc i could for example afford a gt 740 but not a rtx 3090

RandomPackagesShowingUpinHD

Could you include from which year each game is that you test? Would be a nice addition, to make everything look more professional.

Bro big fan of urs

Basically, the GT 740 DDR3 is like an Intel UHD 630 lol

I built a pc for less than $100, it has i5 4440s, 8gb ram, and an evga gt740 sc 4gb gddr5. It runs surprisingly well! Gta5, far cry 3,counter strike, borderlands, etc. All solid performance at medium/900p. My main rig vastly superior 3700x/1080ti, but I still think that gt740 is a great little card!

Just for the fact that Cyberpunk actually opens and plays on this GT-740 regardless of the 360p video quality, just goes to show how awesome this card was for it's time up til now in 2021. I owned this model GPU and can honestly say for it's time back then when I owned one, it was awesome.

What do you think of the 750 Ti in 2020 for most games? I got that gpu, was thinking of upgrading to something better to play more demanding games soon.

I had a MSI GTX 750 (paired with i5-4440 back in the day) in 2014 that looked the same as 740. Upgraded to GTX 1060 in 2016 and RTX 2070 Super in 2019. GTX 750 was my first "gaming" gpu and I was so happy with it.

I loved this card. I bought the EVGA 1GB GDDR5 FTW Edition back in early '15 to replace my dead XFX 8800GT 512MB ADE, but it lasted me only a year before dying, probably due to static when cleaning it outside the case, or residual damage after having to modify the plastic cover to fit my poorly-structured Acer motherboard. I didn't play anything newer than Shift 2 Unleashed, so all my usual titles ran maxed out without issue.

I've been using a HD 5750 1GB for the last few days, and outside of Vermintide II (which hates Radeon GPU's) it's been doing alright. Also have an R9 390 and that's still playing games at 1440p!! Madness.

The gt740 gddr5 was my first graphics card, i was so happy playing black ops 3 at 30fps. I still keep it as an emergency gpu lol

I am currently using an oem gtx 745. Its a pretty good gpu for what it is. Upgrading to an rx 560 this week!

If you could get ahold of the GDDR5 variant that would be cool. Im interested in seeing how well that would run.

Amazing 😎

Maybe could soon do a video about how the GTX 1080 graphics card holds up in 2021. Almost 5 years old, thats still what I use in my main gaming PC.

I have the GDDR5 730 with 1GB of VRAM. I use it on a spare PC for old games. I was using XP but I switch to 7 because everything worked on 7 anyway, and the nvidia driver works better on that. I mean for stuff up to like Skyrim it's fine but I play much older stuff than that on it. Like Fallout 1 and stuff. Interesting to see the 740 with DDR3.

I think the gddr5 is going to perform reasonably better. It reminds me of the gtx 1660 versus the 1660 super case not so long ago. The aforementioned was gddr5 and it had some nice performance but was lacking something. The latter is exactly the same as a 1660 but with gddr6 memory, which increased the memory bandwidth a lot, increasing the performance to the point of a 1660 ti which is the best you can get before entering rtx. Just that little difference adds between 10 and 15 fps at least.

I wanted to ask what program you use to view the stats at the side usage frametime etc

I was running a gtx 745 4gb ddr3 card for years. Ddr3 cards even today are not to bad. Just need to adjust settings. Even got cyberpunk at 720p medium with half Res scale getting over 30fps which I was supprised

I had a 4GB GDDR5 version that I put in a pc for a friend. You should take a look at the ddr4 version of the GT 1030

I had 2 GIG DDR5 GT 760's in sli in a gaming laptop. Was well decent in 2015!

What you should do is get some really old high end graphics cards. Like from the GeForce 6000-9000 series cards but only the top end variants. Compare some of those high end cards to very low end cards from now and yesteryear. 710,410,210, and amd offerings. You can even test sli on the cards that support it and compare it to crossfire on budget amd offerings. I remember seeing a review a while back benchmarking a 512mb high end gpu that was able to destroy a 2gb offering from years later. Even on slightly newer games as long as it didn’t run into vram issues. Here’s another idea, how much crossfire or sli power using older gpus does it take to beat a 3060ti. Stick to only games that support multi gpu, specifically ones that scale across 3-4 gpus. It would be interesting to see if 4x580s or dual 6gb Titans could beat it. Can dual 980ti? It would make for some awesome content. Especially if you can find deals on those cards or team up with someone who already has samples available.

Even with my Ryzen 5 2600 and RTX 2060 I still want to see how those old graphics cards perform😅

Do you ever OC the cards or VRAM? perhaps it can supplement the lower clock speed of DDR3

How much type of you made these videos they are amazing I love you like can you make like in something like cool an awesome view

There is also a GT 740 with 4 gigs which is a specific model from EVGA i think same how the GTX 750 4 gigs was Gigabyte specific

Good old 750TI, first GPU I bought, it has a special place in my heart.

for the ddr3 version to be able to play gta v at 1080p is quite impressive actually specially if you turn on the frame cap... and people who uses that card probably uses 18.5" monitors anyway so they're limited to 1366x768.

Good vid. I have £120 and I need a new graphics card currently I have a evga 750 ftw and I need a upgrade would you have any recommendations

I have used 3 years ago a GT640 2GB GDDR5 model, GV-N640D5-2GI (from gigabyte) and it was damn good the price I've got it. I was playing GTA 5 with 900p and a mix of normal and high settings and my FPS were around 50-60, and on fallout 4 again 900p with a mix of low-medium and I was getting 30-50 (diamond city was the place where it was dropping to 30's).

my first gpu was the gt 740m in some asus laptop it ran payday 2 well and the forest fine as long as it wasnt over 30 degrees ambient in the room i was playing it in

This card makes any modern FPS title like seige and CW look like BO2 on the 360, which i guess has its own quirk of being enjoyable!

You heard it! There is probably a big wave of videos coming!

I remember playing Dota 2 back then with this card it plays on 30fps on low-med settings which is okay for me back then lol so many memories L4D2 works okay too on 30fps target

What about the GTX 745 (OEM) you already did a video about? Also DDR3 but up to 4GB instead of 2GB.

I almost fall victim to this card last year when I tried to upgrade my budget PC. Then a lower priced GTX 660 appeared on the list, totally saved my money from burning for no performance increase that time

I've heard somewhere that Crysis Remastered has a bug where it always uses ultra textures no matter what setting is used. Anyone confirm that?

I bought a 4gb variant of this card for a pc that I am now using as my htpc about 8 years ago not knowing at the time that my hp motherboard has a secure boot issue that prevents it from working with most gpus other than what it came with. Ended up putting it in a build with a phenom ii x4 910 that I sold to a coworker that actually could handle older games pretty well. Think I paid about $50 for it when I bought it.

GT 740 4G SC ddr3 was my first ever graphics card.

I have the mobile version of this card on my old laptop it ran most games at 30 fps I didn't replace the thermal paste on it for 7 years I have now upgraded and built my own gaming pc but I accidently went overbudget and built a liquid cooled i9 9900k system sadly I have to run the integrated uhd630 graphics adapter in my I9 9900K but I am still happy since the only games I play are titles like minecraft and portal

I've got an R9 255 2GB DDR3 OEM model from an ASUS ROG G20BM...... be interesting to see how this would stand up to the GT 740 if you wanna borrow it.

I sold a i5 9400F ($140) with 16 GB of DDR4 ($50) and my old EVGA GTX 760 that was sitting in my closet with the rest of the PC built with extra parts laying around for $600 dollars on Craigslist today. If you can pair up a older graphics card with a modern CPU right now you can make some good money due to graphics cards being so rare at the monent.

i Had this in my fx 4350 build , put it together for about 250$ back in the day with sales and open box sales. Still own it to this day and mine was the ddr3. It sucked! GTA V was like 35fps low settings but with horrible stutters.

what software do you use to see the usage and fps etc

Quadro K620 came out a couple of months later with 2GB of ddr3.

I'm building a PC for emulation and I can't decide which one I'm gonna to with. I thought about going with a R9 280x. I'll probably play some retro titles on it, too. I may go with the 750..

Yeees, please compare it to the GDDR5 version. I had an argument with a friend over this recently

That cyberpunk looks like GTA VC with cyberpun mod.

Fallout 4 is a good benchmark game because it used to be said that if you can run Fallout 4, you can also run GTA 5, but Fallout didn't get harder to run over time like GTA did, and it is a solid middle ground, not too easy to run, not too hard to run.

I wish they released a 40 variant of the 30, 20 adn 10 series. Seems like a good lil spot for some who play MOBAS.

Quadro K620 has GDDR3 which was released only a few months after this.

Huh, I had one of these from Zotac in my old pre-built, only it was a DDR5 version. Strange

Whats the going rate for a used R9 NANO...it sits behind the Gtx 1660 on Tech power up..

This was my very first self installed GPU, it ran GTA V etc pretty okay

I have a 750m with 2gb dedicated with an i7 processor. How different would the benchmarks be on my setup?

im not very good with pc's but will the gddr5 with any motherboard?? cuz i have an old motherboard and the ram is ddr3 idk if my gpu should be ddr3 also

ive had this gpu from evga with 2gb of gddr5 and i have to say it did gave me a good time in games until i upgraded it

I have a Gigabyte GT740 OC 2Gig version of this card. Going to pair it with my Ryzen 3 3200g.

Mine came with 2GB of GDDR5, it was the evga super clocked edition.

I used an old gddr3 quadro mobile to edit videos and it was constantly crashing.

will u test the gt 1010 when it releases.

i still use my gt 740sc evga, i love it

I remember a friend of mine having a GT 740 4GB (DDR3) back then xD

I think the irony of putting HD in your username while testing video cards that can barely run games in HD is pretty funny.

watching him driving significantly better in cyberpunk at approax 20 fps while I'm usually at 70ish... it makes me feel some type of way about my self
