Hi folks I feel I should pin a comment. I’m in no way reviewing this card as a recommendation to go out and buy. It’s more of a what can it do if you just happened to stumble across one in the wild. Yes 3GB isn’t recommended in 2024 I know that but will it get you by? Answer yes in my opinion! It’s a better card than the 1650, 1050ti etc and will play lighter/esports titles completely fine. If you’ve got £200 please go and buy an RTX3060 and not 4 of these as door stops 😁

I retired my 8 year old R9 Fury (4GB HBM for 1440p...) 3 weeks ago for a 7800XT whilst keeping my i6700K. Yes, games were still running, it just was not pretty with an increasing problem frequency lately (e.g. fps break downs in Palia, a game not exactly known as a graphical firework).

If you are playing point and click games yeah sure. Have fun. Seriously anything 5 years old or older would likely play fine on it. Game developers are more interested in making a pretty picture than making a fun game anymore.

I'll give my 570 4gb to my brother. I could give him my spare 3050 8gb instead, but he only plays Valorant, and GtaV. 570 should be more than enough.

Had one for 30€ and put on my "couch" gaming PC.
Holds older AAA and indie games Flawlessly 💪💪

I loved my little 1060. I could fit that thing in any case cuz it was so small.

[Kornwitt]

Great content. I subscribed. The video is perfect without the game audio, please never include ingame audio.

[forzaflyracer]

Paired with a 4th gen i5 it works ok. Hell from my test there's many games where the i5 still bottleneck the 1060 anyways.

Sir I have the same GTX 1060 3gb zotack but my temperature going to 80 to 82

I had a 1060 3GB and it was always within the margin of error territory compared to a GTX 970 in gaming benchmarks in regard to performance.

[AndyDarkKnight]

Im still using this trooper and it runs all of the latest games at medium settings with upscaling tech 🍻

[shengyi]

I have this card but it’s 6GB. Only thing still working after my Mb and PSU both died.

[jhonm]

I play on this gpu, it's way better than expected on most games.

[ProYamYamPC]

I had this exact same card but in the 6GB flavor. I generally recommend the RX 580 at this price point as it tends to perform a bit better. Either way, excellent video mate!

[IndellableHatesHandles]

The entire lower end of the stack had anaemic VRAM counts in retrospect. I'm glad that they figured out the 1060 6GB and higher, though

[eday]

I ended up getting two gtx 970s for 40 bucks for my family members r7 1700 PC and found that even though it was slightly slower than the 1060 3gb I had, the 1 extra gigabyte made things like low end vr (roblox, HHHvr on potato, beat saber) and helldivers playable as there was simply more headroom. I legit dont miss that card

[CHLL-BLTZ]

I honestly do wish i went for the 6gb version only problem is i live in canada so if i bought one it would atleast more than 140 which is bs i already had to pay atleast 120 for the 3gb one

[lanelesic]

My R9 280X had 3GB of vram back in 2013. 😆😁😂

[Dragnulls]

As an owner of this card for 1080p 144hz gaming I can say this card just barely works and has aged like milk I wish I got the 6GB one and didnt cut corners several years ago

[MarcusLong-Plays]

my rx 6400 4gb uses 3, 8 gigabytes of vram in any modern video game at 1080p, having 3gb is 100% not sufivient vram
