Get used to it, takes longer to sign up for an account here than it does to type it in Google.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_7_Series#GeForce_7800_GTX
The GeForce 7800 GTX (codenamed G70, and previously NV47) was the first GPU in the series, launched on June 22, 2005 with immediate retail availability. The GeForce 7800 GTX supported the highest specification DirectX 9 vertex and pixel shaders, at the time: Version 3.0. It was natively a PCI Express chip. SLI support had been retained and improved from the previous generation.

and is it able to run the latest games on medium settings ?

No. If you are planning on getting this for any price, don't.

not going to game with it, i'm just curious to see if the older cards from 2005 and 2006 could play the latest games on low settings or medium depending on the game, not that many people use them anymore so i can't find that many videos of people using it.

They dont use it anymore cause its 7 years old. Its like Xbox 360 technology.

i know, it's just that some people say that older PC's back then can't play the latest games like the consoles can and i just wanted to see if that's true.

 

[vrumor]

They cant. Console games are built for very specific hardware. PC game makers have to make games for a million different combinations of components in order to maximize their profits. Thats why console games are years behind PC games in terms of high end graphics, the consoles are still DX9 if im not mistaken.

I had one of those so long ago I had forgotten. No it will not play the latest games on medium. Many of the latest games require more card than that for low. For example BF3 requires a 8800GT minimum.

There's no harm in there. If you got it & you got the rest of the parts to test it with, why not?
