I have a bunch of cards laying around that I took out of old PC's. Most are from old Dells. Was wondering if any of them would be acceptable for some modest gaming. Also, if not then wanted to know if I shoud even hold onto them. Considering how old most are I'm pretty sure none of them are even worth putting in any future builds. I think they are all workstation cards and most if not all support dual monitors. Heres the list....


    ATI Radeon x600 PCI-e 256MB(I think?)
    VisionTek Radeon x1300 PCI GDDR2 256MB
    ATI FireGL v7200 PCI-e GDDR3 256MB
    ATI Fire MV 2250 PCI-e x1 DDR2 256MB
    PNY Quadro NVS285 PCI-e x1 128MB(I think?)
    Quadro FX 570 GDDR3 256MB (have 2 of these)
    ATI Radeon HD 4550 PCI-e GDDR3 512MB
    Nvidia Quadro FX 3450/4000 SDI GDDR3 256MB
