£5 Graphics Card Showdown

I bought three graphics cards for £5 (€6, $7) to see which one was the best, or least worst. All three are over 10 years old, lack modern driver support and one will play havoc with Windows 10. So let's see which of these you should avoid more than the others.

0:00 The cards and The Specs
1:25 Grand Theft Auto V
2:55 CS:GO
3:30 Fallout New Vegas
4:16 Bioshock Infinite
5:02 Battlefield Bad Company 2
5:46 The Elder Scrolls Skyrim and Conclusion

Thanks for watching :)

When your gpu looks like a radiator, you're in for a treat!

Not sure where else to notify you about this, but I recently found out that Dota 2 is dropping support for DX9 and OGL in the coming months. Frankly, I didn't even know it supported them in the first place. It might be worth running some tests to see if older cards meant for these APIs can even run Dota at a decent FPS nowadays.

I feel like doing a comparision between cpus with integrated graphics from different eras would be good follow up to this as more modern integrated gpus do better than these old cards.

Thank you for putting a smile on my face everytime I see one of your videos. I have been loving them since you were in the 5-6k subscriber range. You are a delightful person and I love how you appreciate and cover tech!

01:13 man that quote made you a PCMR legend for me

[ugh.idontwanna]

Having Ruby on your GPU adds like 10 FPS.

3:15 "Can't even count to three anymore..."
Don't worry, man. Gabe Newell can't count to three either, and everybody still loves him.

[technicalzombie]

could you keep doing this but doubling the cost each time

[FunkadelicPeach]

Wow!!! I love how this was presented and how you had afterburner centered in between each of the 3 games. The way you synced everything was super well done and this presentation was excellent!! So cool!! Love the channel. Been a fan since around 80k subs. so cool to see you grow!

[teaspoon]

Great job. I love cheap stuff getting tested from a current point of view.

[asimepuse]

Loved the shot at valve at 3:16 xD keep up the good work!

Try forcing win7 drivers to install on 10, surprisingly it helps (most of the time). I got a 6800gt to work that way once

All these HD series cards perform better in Window 7. Like, 10% or higher uplift.

[fairmania]

It's good to see you're appealing to the budget conscious members of your viewership. Thank you, your sacrifice has been noted :)

[judewhittaker]

Just realized I was not subscribed until 5 minutes ago, yet I watch nearly all your vids lol

[gtxkillers]

It would be pretty cool to see these overclocked to squeeze every last drop of power and if that would change some games from playable or not

[aleksazunjic]

4350 was a budget card when it was released, but it benefited from memory prices going down, so it has more memory then 3650 which was previous generation mid-high tier.

[frankstared]

Well done. Eminently useful during these dark days of corporate avarice.

[ZaneofAustin]

i went out and bought two hd 5770s (before the shortage lol) for 10 bucks each on ebay
i don't know why
i just love these old cards, especially the xfx blower variant, albeit the bastard child of the collective models lol
