T3X4S Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 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.

The Evil Overlord Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 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 TAZMINATOR and +Raze 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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