The likes of Fortnite run just fine, but this custom graphics card isn't made for gaming, but rather driving a multi-monitor setup via four HDMI ports.

    but it’s hardly what you’d call a viable proposition - not at the $198 paid for the modded GPU

    Ya. A used 3050 is cheaper than that, still has 8 outputs and 8gb of VRAM. Its cool to see this done as a hobby project but it sounds like this guy just bought it as is, so what’s the point?

      8 outputs? In a consumer card?

      Cheap practice for RAM soldering I’d assume

        The person mentioned in the article bought it like that. This wasn’t practice, they spend $200 on an old ass modified card instead of paying the same amount for a newer and better card with the same outputs and ram. It’s stupid.
