Seriously ?
If this isnt a joke, and I have to believe this is.

Why ?

What is the line of thinking in doing something like this ?

What purpose would it serve ?
There are 100 reasons why this is silly.
I cant think of a single reason that makes sense.

Is this a joke ?  

I think I need to look @ OP's posts to see if this is a joke.

Will it work?

Probably yes, at a basic degree but with how old your spec is, it isn't worth it.

A card like that would work more efficiently in a rig with multiple cores (core i5 or similar amd will be more optimal) and at least 4-8GB RAM

Might want to double-check that. Your mobo probably features an AGP slot.

Exactly - I was thinking PCIE in a P4 mobo ?!?!

Not to mention it probably has a 200W PSU - 
this is just bad thinking all around

OP - Maybe tell us what you are thinking as to why you would do something like this.  You have several threads about building a new system - are you not able to do that now ?

In that case, no, even if you met THE absolute basic requirements, the cpu will not handle that sort of game at high end rendering or antialiasing

OK - well - you probably dont have PCIe - and you probably would need to get a new PSU (connection reasons alone)
Also, you run into compatibility issues, the second you try to install or play a game - it will check your system specs - and see its a P4 - and you wont be able to play.

How in the world do you have a prebuilt system from 15 years ago still running ?

Why not ?  You're not using them.  What is the point of having them ?
 

I get rid of everything.  If Im not using it, its clutter - someone else can have it or its trash.  I hate clutter.

One was a gift, it moved me into the '90's+ and got me online, one has sentimental value from a passed on loved one, a couple were rescued from dumps in the hope to 'recondition' and to make a quick buck, I supposed those could go though.

Wow - see, that image gave me chills.  I dont keep anything.  I get joy from getting rid of stuff.  Giving it to someone who could use it, or in the trash bring me more joy then it just sitting in the garage, or in storage.

OP, just out of curiosity, seeing as you're willing to spend some cash on getting that card... what sort of budget do you have to play with, many here can help 'build' you a rig capable of 1080p gaming on a tightrope budget...

The only thing I keep for sentimental reasons are pictures (on cloud) and the collars from dogs who have passed.  They are in a lock box in the master bedroom closet.  I wont get rid of those anytime soon.

I have an old P4 mobo with PCIe that was running in my home "server farm" until recently with 4 gigs RAM and Windows 7 (missing CPU instructions for Win 8+)

 

He could play old games since only recently have games started to use multiple cores.

 

A 1050 has no external power connector in any model so I suspect his mobo won't power it.

 

With some Ebay searching it should be possible to find the maximum GPU that would work...

Out of that $400, are you having to get every piece, or are there some things you have ?

For instance, a case, a 1080 monitor, maybe a recent good PSU - or are you having to do everything ?

    • Google Pixel Watch 2 gets a massive 41% discount: Is it time to finally buy one?

      By zikalify · Posted

      Google Pixel Watch 2 gets a massive 41% discount: Is it time to finally buy one? by Paul Hill Are you in the UK and looking to upgrade your smartwatch or buy one for the first time? If so, then you need to check out this awesome deal on the Polished Silver Google Pixel Watch 2 (LTE) as it’s 41% off and available for just £139.72. Aside from being the lowest price it has ever been on Amazon, it’s also way lower than the £199 price listed on the UK Google Store. According to the delivery information, the watch should arrive before Father’s Day, so if you act quickly, you can get it delivered in time. If you see this deal late, sign up for a free trial on Amazon Prime and get it delivered quicker. What the Pixel Watch 2 offers If you can cast your mind back several years, you might remember that Google bought the smartwatch company Fitbit. The Pixel Watch series integrated many Fitbit features including the heart rate tracking, stress management, and temperature variations for sleep and menstrual cycle tracking. The Pixel Watch 2 is also packed with health and safety features including an ECG app, irregular heart rhythm notifications, fall detection, Emergency SOS, and Safety Check. These features protect a whole swath of people, whether it’s young people out running alone, Safety Check is there to alert others if things go wrong, or whether it’s the elderly prone to falls. While you can pair the Pixel Watch 2 with any Android phone (iOS not officially supported), Google has taken steps to ensure it works extra well with Pixel phones, tablets, and earbuds. When paired with a Pixel phone, you can screen unknown calls and get transcripts on the watch. The Pixel Watch 2 comes with an always-on display and a full-featured smartwatch operating system. It’ll be little surprise for you to hear then that this watch’s battery life is limited to just 24-hours. Finally, if you’re looking for a device to monitor your workouts then the Pixel Watch 2 could be for you with features like Auto Workout mode which automatically starts, pauses, and stops your activity logs so you don’t have to. You can get information such as pace, heart rate zones, and laps. While many people find the free features sufficient, there is also an option to get a Fitbit subscription to unlock more. If you do decide to take out the optional subscription, it costs £7.99 per month of £79.99 annually. Should you buy it now? If you’ve been looking to get a new smartwatch, given the all-time low price of this Google Pixel Watch 2, it’s definitely something to consider. Features like ECG and irregular heart rhythm notifications set this device above many of the other more affordable models. This one is more on par with the Apple Watch series. It’s not ideal for iPhone users as there’s no official support, additionally, those looking for a multi-day battery life won’t find that here. However, if you’re an Android owner, especially a Pixel owner, then this watch will integrate tightly. It’s also a very aesthetic device, so if you care about looks, this watch could be for you too. Google Pixel Watch 2 (LTE) Polished Silver: £139.72 (Amazon UK) / MSRP: £236.62 This Amazon deal is U.K. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Windows 11 finally gets redesigned Start menu and more in builds 26200.5641 and 26120.4250

      By George P · Posted

      It's an improvement overall but I'm also of the idea that they should just give users more options and let them have the menu they like instead of just going with one outline and some minor options (though finally getting rid of recommended is great). I know people who don't want pins and would rather it all be just the list/grid of apps. Others just want pins, others want them side by side and not up on top of each other. Have more layout options and let people mix and match, problem solved.
    • Audio setup question - onboard realtek + pioneer receiver (analog)

      By Izlude · Posted

      Hi all, I've got a Pioneer VSX 815-k receiver. Love this thing, however, my cat did his business on top of it and kinda recked it... Only analog works (5.1 surround RCA inputs). Normally I'd use toslink from mobo to digital in on the receiver, but the result is a ton of loud white noise over the music. Analog works just fine, so I'm forced to use the 3.5mm jacks on the rear of the mobo to the RCA inputs on the receiver. The issue I face is that there is no DTS or anything fun.. Originally, I could play all my MP3s or watch YouTube etc, and the subwoofer would be booming as I like because of the mixing from the DAC. Now with the analog, none of that is happening  I'm wondering if there's some kind of software solution for Windows to get the subwoofer to play as it did when I had it hooked up through toslink, but for analog out instead. As of now, only audio files that were encoded specifically to produce sound to the sub, will work, but nothing else. As to which onboard sound solution my mobo has, this from the website's description: 121dB SNR AMP-UP Audio with ALC1220 & High-End ESS SABRE 9018 DAC with WIMA audio capacitors Sound BlasterX 720°, the top-of-the-line audio engine solution for 4K gaming and entertainment  yea it uses that wonky SBx 720 app to change the audio effects n stuff.. but doesn't help with my issue Eventually yea, I wanna buy a new one. They're about $80 on ebay after shipping, but that will have to wait.

      By str8butta · Posted

      Serious question here. Why is the start menu such a heated topic? I can't remember the last time that I used the start menu for anything at all other than it pops up when I hit the WIN key on my keyboard before I type for the program I want to run and then hit Enter or to restart my machine. I honestly wish it would just go away, and it just be replaced with the PowerToys Run menu. Am I missing something with the Start menu? I see people always talking about installing third party replacements and such, but I just wonder what some are actually using the Start menu for that I might be missing out on. Genuine question. Hopefully not offending anyone as I know everyone has their own way to work and access things in the OS.
