QOTW: Do you use a discrete graphics card?

[3dcandy]

i have them in my desktops primarily to give me hdmi out with audio to my amp/tv setups. i don't do gaming. i usually use kodi boxes for streaming from my pc (a rare kodi user that doesn't use streaming plugings - i've used kodi since the xbox days when i modded 2 systems for myself). no hdmi in my laptops, that don't have special graphics cards, but my cheapo windows tablets give hdmi out

Been a while since hdmi has been on 99% of mobos to be fair... but hey I can see that. I don't use Kodi anymore, Showbox and NFS share to my NAS for all my duties and my ANdroid box does 1080p and 5.1 audio pretty well considering it was sub £30

Also if the motherboard you bought does not have an HDMI port for a 2200G-2400G CPU then you can get a USB to HDMI/4k/type-c hubs and do it that way. Pretty good options.

Yep, although I'm doing my best to run a Ryzen 2400G for another member of close family so I suppose the household will be a 50/50. Eventually.

Yes, XFX R9 Fury but its not very discrete when under load.

[anselhelm]

Nah, I use a continuous graphics card

On a serious note, yes, I have a dedicated graphics card in the form of an XFX R9 Fury. It's under a Morpheus II with ultra quiet Nanoxia fans, so even at full pelt it's very quiet. At idle, it's only just audible.

I only game up to 1920x1200 (1200P) at 60 FPS max, as I'm still on my seemingly-immortal Dell WFP2407 (revision A04 I think offhand). I don't imagine I'll need to upgrade it until Navi or beyond.

Gigabyte Aorus 1080 ti because I need more than one output and at 4K, but I also have an onboard card which came in handy when I took my graphics card out to water-cool it.

[OpenGT]

Yes, I do. I'm using a 5 years old AMD 7970GHz, and I would to change it for a new one, but... you know ;-)

I run a deicated GPU (currently a Radeon R9280x), though I mainly use the PC for surfing, watching videos etc so it isn't really needed...however, I do occasionally play games so it does sometimes get use. Anyway, when I got the GPU, it was with a new system to replace a broken one and the GPU cost a lot less than a console does

[Brian224]

I seldom play games but bought an R9 280 a couple of years back as it lets me run three DVI monitors without an active adapter. (I think Sapphire is the only maker that offered this facility). Given the rate at which the adapters failed, it is about half way to paying for itself.

I've also got a graphics card in my laptop, integrated graphics weren't that good ten years ago. Yes, I do use a ten year old laptop

[nichomach]

Yes, but nothing too flash; Zotac 1060 with 3GB (case is a bit cramped and a short card helps!).

[tinbin]

am still using a gtx 960 4gb would like to upgrade but am not paying the high prices for the new 1060 or 1070.... it plays all me games ok so am happy for now

[Jaffo]

GTX 960 2GB which is handling most stuff still (though the RAM is probably a bit low nowadays). Can't see myself upgrading anytime soon with the current prices.

[Jacxel]

I have 2 desktops and 3 laptops. 2 of the (work) laptops have quadro GPUs one of which i (rarely) use for video editing the other doesn't get used. My other laptop has no gpu but the 2 desktops have a gtx 980 each (Living room PC + personal rig)

[tinbin]

am running a gtx 960 4gb card still happy with it running all me games just great
no way i could upgrade with gpu price way to high....

Using the Vega 11 on the Ryzen 5 2400G at the moment.
