finally, a GPU I can afford in today's economy

The scrap value of copper in this card has to be worth more than 25p

[starplatinum]

i think its time you make another 1 dollar pc

[dikbozo]

25p
working GPU, shipped. works well. doesn't run hot.
Deal of the Day, at the very least.
Thanks bud. Your recent out put has been first class. And comparatively rapid fire. Quality AND quantity.

[daemonspudguy]

25p? I expect only the highest quality of potato.

[Redmage]

I love your software-render styling when you twirl the card around during the spec overview.

That card was so good I skipped the 6000 series and didn't upgrade until the HD7870 came out.

[HardWhereHero]

LOL! You got our old one I'm almost certain. I'm the only person on the planet that would re-paste a 5850 b4 selling it off. This is 100% proof that CEX buys old ebay cards.

[emuevalrandomised]

My media server PC has a 6850 and can run quite a few games from before 2010 decently. A 5850 can easily run some quite good games from the 2000-2008 era and even some more recent ones in lower resolution. No point letting a perfectly working card become e-waste.

I truly love how you put fable in every video even if it's just an into. best game ever, cant wait for fable4.

[hunzhurte]

It makes me so happy to see that you're still making videos like this in 2024. Gives me some hope in humanity.

[AbdulHannan-vxfs]

bro has everything to singlehandedly dominate the voice acting industry

[tolemem]

I did not realize you meant 25 pence when you were teasing this video, I was so confused lol

[digginguphardware_lx]

Had one. Got it from a PC graveyard, was without a fan and shroud, just the PCB and heatsink but was in pretty good condition except a pretty big bend on the PCB. Swapped it with a r9 370 or whatever heatsink and fans (with some adaptation needed) and It was solid. Sold it in a fully built system (i3 2120, 8gb DDR3 1600, 500 GB hard disk and a repaired server tin box with 600w PSU) for about 70 bucks. It was solid NGL, old but works fine to this day, let my sis use it in her first PC before upgrading her to an 6500xt. 9.5/10 card for the time and hella good under 10 bucks card to this day.

I'm so happy I ran into this channel. First of all, your voice is soooo soothing haha. Secondly, I love putting together PC's. I've likely put together over 100 PC in my life. And I especially enjoy bringing to life old hardware to see another day of life. Now you sir, you pick up older hardware than I do. But, either way, I love the channel.

The hd 5850 was an absolute monster of a card when it launched. I got mine 2 days before it launched. There was absolutely nothing it couldn't play maxed out at the time. It decimated my 8800gtx.

[lil_floofer]

I mentioned this in the last video I saw, but I can't get over the low poly models you use. They are such a simple but pleasing detail in your videos!

[iRedMCYT]

29:02 OH CMON.. I was so expecting you to say “Sometimes they can be 50/50… but this instance, it’s 5850!”

[danielfrancis]

I really like the pacing of this video. I love that you’re getting higher and higher budget now (ironically) and I’m here for it. Keep it up! :D

[SteTechGaming]

I look forward to the "25p RTX 4090" video 😉
