They are often full of dust,worn out,not taken care of,since they are used 24/7,and have a special mining bios which you can later on 'remove' and get it back to normal.

Edit:Mind sending a link to the GPU?

Ta graficka nije namenjena za gaming,nego za rudaranje.Obicne gaming kartice kao https://www.msi.com/Graphics-Card/geforce-gtx-1060-gaming-x-6g mogu da se koriste i u svrhe rudarenja,ali ta koju si nasao je striktno za mining svrhe.


This graphic card is not intended for gaming, but for mining. Ordinary gaming cards such as https://www.msi.com/Graphics-Card/geforce-gtx-1060-gaming-x-6g can also be used for mining purposes, but the one you found it strictly for mining purposes.

u will need integrated gpu for video output and then u can use high performance gpu mode in games to run on it, latency wise, no idea

nice i have a intergrated gpu (Intel hd 4400) and i thought that it will be useless after i buy a new one,how do you do that

go to bios, set you GPU boot priority to integrated, save it and shut it off
insert GPU, monitor plug to mainboard, turn it on
install GPU drivers, reboot (if needed)
then follow guide posted above for using dedicated GPU for games

 

[neojack]

just watch the video i linked sooner. if you think it's worth it go for it. you can enable subtitles if english is not your main language
PS you need a special firmware on the GPU

 

[Dj0gany]

I think its a better idea to pay 20$ more for a normal gaming GPU than mess around with that stuff,but whatever he wants
