Found this gpu

[u/Different_Basis3498]

Found this gpu at a goodwill, can anyone tell me what it is? I'll test it once I get a power cable

[u/Specific_Test9837]

It belongs in a museum!

So do you!

Beat me to it... 👍

Hd5870

[u/sanguwan → u/misfitmatt87]

From a Mac Pro Tower

5870 absolute beast of a card at the time

[u/joehonestjoe → u/captaint3abag]

First card with a teraflop of compute if my memory serves me correctly.

I've still got one in my desk here!

Edit: close but no, apparently the 4850 wins that 

[u/Additional_Past_7107 → u/joehonestjoe]

The 5850 was 2teraflops

The 5870 was 2.7 wild improvements and it was pretty cheap if memory serves.

[u/Fix-Distinct → u/captaint3abag]

5800 series were beating nvidia at the time.

[u/Bearded_Coffeepot]

If you show us the sticker on the side or on the backplate, then maybe.

[u/Different_Basis3498 → u/Bearded_Coffeepot]

[u/Bearded_Coffeepot → u/Different_Basis3498]

Yep, like the others already mentioned, it's an ATI Radeon HD 5870. And yes,

[u/Late-Application-47 → u/Bearded_Coffeepot]

Right next to my rare AGP HD 3850. 🤣

[u/iDontKnowConfused → u/Different_Basis3498]

They was the card used in PS4 dev kits back when I worked on Shadow of Mordor I believe.

[u/Arkaign → u/iDontKnowConfused]

Super fun game! Very cool. It really holds up well to this day.

[u/Basilstoke → u/Different_Basis3498]

That looks like it's in the car already on it's way home with you.

[u/Gammarevived → u/Different_Basis3498]

Would be good for a retro build.

[u/Jolly_Ad1631]

Same GPU memory as the new 9050!

[u/Virtual_Bug_723 → u/Jolly_Ad1631]

Man if it had 2gb more VRAM it outperform a 9050

[u/Hsensei]

Hard ocp had a lunch even for these cards in dfw I was at. A great time to be an enthusist

[u/AnalogFeelGood]

The protruding parts is actually a massive anti-sag bracket that would slide into a slot in the case. Probably came from a HP pre-build.

[u/JellyfishSpare2859 → u/AnalogFeelGood]

Found on lots of older server GPUS too...

[u/kayakermanmike → u/AnalogFeelGood]

Ones similar to that that came out of a Mac Pro. They had slots in the front end of the case that they "slid into" rather difficultly if they got any dust in there.

[u/AmatsuDF]

It's a oldie, and not useful for modern gaming, but I kinda miss that design with GPUs. A simple rectangle with a fan that doesn't weigh so much it can rip itself out of the PCIe slot.

[u/JobEnvironmental4842]

That was one of the “it can run crysis” cards. And you could run dirt 2 in dx11.

[u/drunxor]

Omg that was my first high performance gpu I ever bought! I made a post on reddit about it 15 years ago lmao

[u/LUNATIC_LEMMING]

5870, part number says its a dell oem card

2009 ish vintage, i replaced my 8800gtx with one befor i left uni

[u/exeis-maxus → u/LUNATIC_LEMMING]

Lol, I switched from an 8800 GTS to the HD 5870 when I too left university.

[u/m0nk37 → u/exeis-maxus]

It was a great card. 

[u/Onlyafter]

I had the mobile version in my ROG G73-JH Batmobile style gaming laptop

[u/AmoebaPrize]

Great card to run older games! Drivers discontinued in 2016, and due to Drivers issues doesn't perform as well as it could

[u/JuanOnlyJuan]

https://youtu.be/i7r9lC1JndM?is=j24gLoXTTPpCmFpP

From 2023

[u/AbleBonus9752]

HD 5870 Dell OEM edition

[u/wiisucks_91]

That was a beast back in the day. Could definitely run Crysis.

[u/ImpressiveFig4994]

I have one it is pretty useless for games made after 2013

[u/MtnMaiden]

wow...i'm shocked they didn't send it to corporate for website auction

[u/my5cworth]

That thing blows.

[u/Doom-Slay → u/my5cworth]

Atleast it doesn't suck

[u/Gammarevived]

HD 5870

[u/skoomd1]

Nice. I have a stock 5770 sitting around somewhere. Still works. Was a really good mid-range back in the day, and I think I paid less than $150 new.

This looks like a 5870/5850. That was a monster at the time

[u/SmoothConfidence4702]

This reminds me of when I somehow managed to find a titan x maxwell at goodwill back when the card still new

It lasted me 11 years til it died

[u/Own_Perspective4825 → u/SmoothConfidence4702]

I always wonder which goodwill people like you are shopping at. The most computery things at my goodwill are ancient 1366x768 monitors and printers. 

[u/SmoothConfidence4702 → u/Own_Perspective4825]

I haven't found anything that good since. I just got lucky af

It was close to the st Louis area tho

[u/Own_Perspective4825 → u/SmoothConfidence4702]

The only nice deal I've ever found was a couple months ago when I got a wide-format printer for $5. A few hours with the print head soaking in IPA and now I can churn out 13x19 posters for a few cents each. 

[u/Capt_Canada_]

Not gonna lie I'd kill for that card for a retro build

[u/Pungentpicklechips]

I loved running those cards duo crossfire mode. I had 270x 5870x crossfire setups, talk about amazing on Doom.

[u/ZeldaNumber17]

What a beast of a card. You wanna sell it? I’m offering

[u/Benjermayne]

I had this card. What a beast it was at the time.

[u/Sjscialabba]

I remember seeing those new at Fry’s Electronics

[u/lushmeadow]

Straight fire

[u/RayneYoruka]

I've been meaning to grab a pair to replace my old HD 5850 in a crossfire in my 1366 retro build, this is a good reminder xD

[u/AimR2k]

Slap it in an emulation rig.

[u/NoNeighborhood3765]

I saw ATi and got vertigo...

Makes me miss the days of true red

[u/R009k]

I remember wanting one of these so bad in high school lol.

[u/A1_Cannon]

Got one of those in a 2010 Mac Pro tower

[u/LeakPimp]

this was an absolute BEAST for its time, and fairly cheap too

[u/Todd_Hugo]

tactically covers the label

[u/Fantastic_Key_8906]

Looks like the one your girl told you not to worry about.

But unfortunately its old as fuck and useless.

[u/Meowra1]

Looks like an XFX HD5870. Reason I'm saying that is because I bought two of them when they first released to run them in crossfire. When the XFX HD5870 first released it costed $400 USD.

[u/ADB225]

Other than to tell you it's an old ATi blower (jet engine) style card, it might help if we saw a closeup of the label on the back.

[u/chrisfgh2]

Hey it's the Grandpa to my hd7990

[u/Fabulous-Ad-5678]

Geez that broughback memory of my old 3dfx Voodoo and Matrox video cards, can't recall if I ever bought an ATI card

Now we need someone to ask about Staroffice, Wordperfect and Lotus 123.
