Dual-GPU nostalgia fills JayzTwoCents' retro-tech week
Seven uploads span vintage graphics cards, decades-old thermal paste and a desktop machine put to work cutting metal.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
TWO GPU's in ONE card?! #gaming #tech #pcgaming
JayzTwoCents reached into PC hardware's more extravagant past, and viewers answered with memories of cards they haven't quite parted with. Under "TWO GPU's in ONE card?! #gaming #tech #pcgaming," the conversation is full of old graphics hardware kept in boxes, displayed in offices or remembered through sprawling multi-monitor setups.
That upload is the week's most watched new release, approaching a million views, and it also carries the strongest daily momentum. Jay's description supplies the mood: he misses an era when, in his view, hardware brands had more room to have fun. The comments make that nostalgia unusually tangible. Some people remember the games; these viewers remember the boards that ran them.
The retro thread continues in "This GPU was the HOLY GRAIL 20 years ago...," featuring an EVGA GeForce 8800 Ultra. Its chapters move from unpacking to a cooler swap and an attempt to use it on a modern system. A separate upload examines thermal paste left in place for decades, while a RAM-slot reminder brings the week back to everyday building mistakes.
There is new workshop equipment, too. "Desktop CNC's are reaching Professional Levels!" examines the ToolDance X1, its software and metal-machining capabilities. It is the next strongest source of daily views after the dual-GPU upload, giving the vintage components some decidedly modern company.
Across the channel, daily views are roughly double their usual level, although the subscriber count was unchanged over the week. Nearby in tech, The Verge also has a sharply elevated daily audience, while Techquickie and Dave2D are running below their usual levels. Jay's particular mix remains hands-on: even a collectible graphics card gets a cooler swap and a modern-system test.

I still have ARES and MARS cards in my boxes as a reminder of greater times.
@eirikheggelundSee it on YouTubeWhen I ran three 2560x1600 screens I would use two of the dual GPU cards of the time. Gaming at 7680x1600 was something to see especially back then.
@TheCrazyCanuck420See it on YouTubeStill got my GTX295 displayed in my office, was the single PCB version with the GPUs either side of the fan

God those were the days so much cool stuff was made back then.
@nerdedkyle3515See it on YouTubeI had a 9800GX2, loved that card. When it died years later, EVGA gave me a GTX 280 to replace it, o7 EVGA.
@darthfoozSee it on YouTubeI actually had one of these, but from EVGA. Its probably still in a box somewhere
