I Bought the Xbox One's Graphics Card...

Hello everyone and welcome to another Budget Builds Episode where today I managed to accidentally stumble across the Xbox One's Graphics Card...and it turns out its a remarkable cheap workstation unit that actually manages to keep up with modern games...Why...Well it IS the Xbox Ones GPU afterall. So join me from Red Dead Redemption through to Halo Infinite as we find out just how well does it compare to the Console itself.

I'd imagine these cards are pretty useless to Cryptominers and too old for Scalpers. Not a bad option for upgrading something like an old Dell for light gaming.

I have this exact same GPU, but mine is a DVI version where there's only two DVI ports on the GPU instead of 2xDP and 1xDVI. So far this is quite a powerful and efficient Windows XP retro gaming card, except it has some driver issues on some older games (under Windows XP) like Will Rock (crashes the GPU driver upon minimizing and returning) and True Crime : Streets of LA (slight model artifacting) despite the card working normally and fine. Not that much driver updates for XP since the last driver update was in 2012 before they abandoned XP driver support for it

I have this exact card! I found it in an old workstation that was going to be thrown away. It definitely surprised me in terms of its performance and it’s also an excellent troubleshooting card for when I need a graphics card to test a system with. Overall, I’d say it’s one of my favorite “cheap” cards that I own due to its versatility.

It might be more significantly more useful than the 1GB HD 7850 that I own when it comes to playing modern games.
Very surprised to see it outperform the R7 260 by such a large margin. They should have the same number of cores and VRAM, the only possible differences are clock speeds and memory bandwidth.

I found this card for around 5 pounds at a local selling site. It's pretty fun to mess around with.

The performance for $40 is stellar, especially considering the current GPU shortage. Great budget option.

Halo Infinite didn't treat my RX 580 as a virus, but it sure as hell treated it like it was a GT 710.

[HaonProductions]

This seems like a phenomenal card if you want to play older/indie games (ie a good 90% of my steam library) and can stretch to titles from up to a few years ago. Basically a console for 40 quid!

That's a really interesting card indeed considering how impossible gpu's (or basically anything) is to get a hold of these days, coincidentally enough I'm working on a video about the Xbox one in 2022 and how it holds up, turns out it runs better than i expected with even modern releases. it's good to know there's still options for pc and console gamers despite the market were in. I wonder how it compares to the 750 ti?

I've been running the W5100 4Gb that replaced this for a couple of years and it's actually a rather good card - totally silent in use, drivers have been stable (a novelty for AMD) and it's been very reliable. I don't do much gaming but it will run The Outer Worlds pretty well.

[ironhead]

What I love about that thing is its Win XP compatible, you could throw it into an older quad core i7 rig and dual boot. Run lower intensity modern titles in, say, Win 7, and boot into Win XP and play OG Crysis or Far Cry with everything maxed.

[chrishowington]

So figured I would come back and comment since this video convinced me to take a chance on 2 of these when the GPUs were still insanely priced. I have 2 of these in crossfire and they performed pretty well for paying roughly 45 each for these. Decided to try the Nimez drivers with them as well and saw a pretty big boost on performance with them. It registers them as R9 370x’s but they jumped from around 20fps on Fallout 4 1080p Ultra to 35-40 fps at same settings. Just a thought for anyone that might actually be using these for gaming. Cheers!

Great video, workstation cards are generally underappretiated. I got myself FireGL v5600 for some small project and it run absolutely flawlessly while newer ATI hd 5550 refused to work.

[kentoriyama]

I've had one of these for a couple years, the only problem I have with it is that Radeon Pro drivers conflict with their consumer cards. Meaning if you have any consumer AMD gpu in the same system, you will get driver problems and can't use both, including integrated graphics. Otherwise it's an awesome little card.

[TechTested]

GCN was probably the best aging GPU architecture ever made. My favorite generation by far.

[travisgatlin]

Video has been out an hour and eBay already has the prices pumped way up from where you bought it. Gotta love it.

>Halo Masterchef Edition
I can’t wait to see this. Master Chief cooking a 3 course meal.

[CraigSteelyard]

The benchmark tests are pretty impressive! I still play on my old GT 640 and most of today's games do work fine on minimum settings at 1080p. Proves you sometimes don't need to spend big bucks to enjoy current gen gaming.

[Joshimuz]

woah woah woah, you can't just splice in some Fable Any% footage without saying a word. Since when are you doing speedruns?

[SUCRA]

Hey, this is the type of video card I love to see in the works. Cheap and understated. Great video. 👍
