Does anyone have an older GPU sitting in a drawer or the garage they haven't got around to reselling yet? The kind of thing you might get some beer money for on TM but haven't got around to testing and listing...

I'm repairing/upgrading some PCs, doing my small bit to reduce e-waste. Happy to pick up in Auckland or pay postage, or throw in some of that beer money if it's a decent enough card.

Let me know what you've got. Probably not interested in anything older than 2009/2010-ish (e.g. looking for HD 5xxx vintage or newer).

Thanks.

I have an HD 6950 in my “to list eventually” pile, if that would suit?

Exactly the type of thing I am looking for! Will PM you.

Happy to take a couple more if other people have cards they want to clear out.

Are you just looking for something to use as a display adapter, or something a bit better? If the former, then from my "stripped from old PCs box":

GeForce GT 520 (low profile)

GeForce GT430

Radeon HD 5570

GeForce GTS 240 OEM

FirePro V5800

All have 1GB of vram and fall at the older end of your age range...

Thank you again @Peppery for generously giving this card to me - it's replacing a HD 5450 to turn an old office machine into an entry level gaming PC. :)

Just looking for something slightly better than a basic display adapter, something that will play basic or old games for the kids to use. They aren't old enough to need top end or new hardware. And I've become aware that a significant portion of the environmental impact of our consumer electronics is due to the extraction of raw materials and manufacturing process, so I like the idea of reusing someone else's unneeded parts rather than buying new (for now - when the kids are older they can have new stuff for AAA games if that's what they want). :)

I have a 5670 and a HD 2400 Pro… I think a GT710 also if you’re still looking

I am going to close this now as I have what I need thanks to a couple of generous GZers!

Thanks to everyone who has replied or PM'd me, apologies if I haven't responded to all of the messages yet, there have been quite a few! What a great community. 😃
