Someone should write a guide to finding PC “treasure” like this. I’m gonna go around my area and look for stuff 😅

If you found it in the trash then maybe it’s where it belongs.

I once came across a PC that was just thrown out of the window because the guy ragequitted on League of Legend. Well, that’s what I deducted based on the last access on the drive. I found the remains of the PC at like 12:15, and LoL was opened at like 11h50 or something like that. Had like a 1050Ti or a 750Ti, a 4th gen cpu and that’s all I could easily see. I still have it’s drive.

Had that same model, then upgraded to a 3080 a couple years ago. Great card, not bad for some 1080p games! Hope it works for you.

Gamers dumpster diving at microcenters ftw

I hope that’s not the 980 I thought had old thermal paste and still overheated afterwards.

It’s crazy what people throw away where I live. Among the stuff that isn’t pictured is: a fitbit (works), a smart watch (couldn’t find a charging cable), and dance mat (ddr?). I found a GoPro before too awhile back which also worked.
I’ve found furniture too!

Eyy this beast still can run some of the newer games on 1080p low.

I wouldn’t even care if it worked I’d love to just have any EVGA card on my shelf.

I found a GTS 450 in the trash and it works.

Hmmm. I wonder why it was in the trash.

Why don’t people do electronics recycling?

Damn 980 tbh is still a somewhat capable card if you can OC it
SumonaFlorence
I found an EVGA 660 I believe on an oval, I was very confused.
Extension_Ad6496
I just did a build with this exact model. It’s still holding up really well, especially in esports titles.
EliTeAP
did you find it with RT on or off?
Extreme_Park268
There has to be some way to work on these things…. Toxic yet rewarding hobbies?
Fastermaxx
Did you consider once it was in the trash because it’s broken? A 980 is pretty old at that point, so it’s not unlikely it failed.
It’s still a nice find as a collection piece – evga in partikular.

Some time ago I found an HD5770. Perfectly functional, It’s kinda rusty though, but after repasting it, it keeps steady 73 degree Celsius under load

I grew up following my dumpster diver step-dad sons in the summer. Fuck I hated digging through garbage to maybe find something he wanted to keep. We’d be late for baseball games and shit because he would spot a full dumpster he didn’t normally notice. Our house was full of junk hoarder level maybe someone will want it someday. He gave it all up and started hoarding guns in the early 1990’s.

Does it work?

I don’t know why but I always find EVGA graphic cards are the sexiest and most elegant cards.

Maybe a good second GPU for lossless scaling!

Do you guys just wake up around 8:42am, dangle your naked feet over the edge of the bed, stretch, and then tell yourself “I’m going to go dumpster diving today. hell yeah” ? 🤨
