Had to convince him he shouldn't be using windows 7 anymore to run his business. Spent a full day getting him into a windows 11 machine and getting all his files and programs shuffled to it. He told me all about his trip to Fry's electronics to get the parts for that computer. Apparently he got this because the salesman talked up how well it ran AutoCAD.

Long long time ago =)
what an absolute legend of a grandpa
The question I have: Did that card assist at the function of Auto Cad at the time? Or was that just horribly good salesmanship?
Prob ran autocad like a champ when he first got it tbh. What were the other specs? Fry’s has been out of business for a few years now.
Overall, I don’t think that specifically was the reason why it was slow.
BIG FUCKING GRAPHICS
Well, windows 7 and gtx 260 aren’t that old for a nostalgia.
I was using a GTX 580 3gb until about 4 years ago.
RIP BFG
I have a functioning GTX 285 1GB, still worked last time I used it, which was 10 years ago lol.
On a side note, you can make windows 11 look like windows 7 pretty easily and quickly if that would help his workflow. Might make the transition a little easier for him
