could try strapping some 92 or 120mm case fans to the gigabyte cooler to resolve things. this is a cheap and effective method to boost GPU cooling, although bulky and kinda ugly, not to mention you usually have to use a constant DC input or a motherboard fan header rather than the GPU's fan controller (if it has one).

I approve of your naming scheme for those 2 cards, haha. I come to your channel for the tech but I love your comments and if something happens to the batmobil, just replace the heatsink and connect the fan to a system fan header as this a much better solution than this passive cooler. Also talking about jury rigged stuff, the fan died on my hd 5670 and it was overheating, as the only thing spare that I had was an intel cooler, I removed the original fan and left the intel one which was fixed with cable ties, but it worked. Anyway, keep up the good work, looking forward for the next video, man! :)

Hi, i have 2 of these, a powercolour with a big fan & an amd with a blower. I have to admit i really like the look of your card, thanks for showing it

Is this chip same as the one on the 5770?

At first I was surprised when you used green colour as text background than I realized why :P Anyway a lovely video as always, too bad you had to underclock it in Fortnite.

i had palit jetstream gtx 760 every time you rewiew new graphics cards i had same verzion back then

Can you use it on windows 11?

such a good card when it was new although my 780 Ti ran much warmer than i would like, made me get better case cooling for the 1st time with a mesh airflow style case. i later got a 780 Ti that was really really powerful but it hit a "wall" in some titles where i eventually bought a 980 Ti because even now the 780 Ti can crush games before DX12, but has a terrible stop in later ones. very sad there's no fixing that besides heavy driver optimizations that probably will never come.

Hypethreading is helpfull, I did comapre a 2C2T with a 2C4T CPU and the performance difference was like night and day, like you said, it was is not doubled, but it helped greatly, especially with "frame times" on windows and games.

I have the exact same model :D but only tested one game on it.

Finally I came across these videos. I had an i5-4690 that is now running my parent's PC after almost 10 years. Also back than people said that an i3 is good enough for games, an i5 is for anything else and the i7 is an overkill, but I guess that was being said by broke students :P

Does this card have feature level 12?

One of the key advantages of GCN 2, is the fact that the 7790/260x supported VOLKAN version 1.1, which is really nice to have as an extra :)

It smells of HD7870/R9 270X/R9 270 and R9 370X. Interesting how they used different coolers on on the 200 series. It seems like they created the one just for the 270 non X, the one you have but they could have just used the cooler from the 270X or a tweaked version of 260/X, what do you think? Great video as always! I was rally interested in this one as I had an R7 370 myself for my first rig where I picked the parts. As I was young and stupid, I carried over the PSU and was limited by the fact it only had a 6 pin connector, so this was the best I could get back in 2015, but I wish I knew better, as picking the slightly more expensive R9 380, it would have been a much better buy, granted I would also need a new PSU. Well the card died after 3 years of use and being stupid again, I was limited again by the PSU but I did get the GTX 1060 3GB ( I was considering rx 560 as I was fooled by the 60 naming but now I know much better). When you compared it to the GT 1030, you should have mentioned, that the Nvidia card does not have an encoder, which can be quite a turn off. It depends on the use case of course. Keep up the good work! :)

Did you recorded with capture card? or with the driver?

My favorite little beast,used to have one 1gb ver. sold it this summer, still own that asus version r7 260x 2gb & asus r9 380 4gb strix and surprisingly this little beast performed better in 1 gb or less scenario,only cons being vram & lack of second fan or bigger heatsink.Speaking of fans beware of 4 little screws holding it, if you decide to dismount fan.

I used to have the HD5670 1GB back in the day. HD5xxx is a great series of gpus. But recently the used market in my area is flooded with gpus and theres RX 560 4GB for only 30 euros. RX 560 is a 75W gpu, it has directx 12, it has a more recent hardware video decoder and more recent drivers + nimez drivers. Those i7 4770 office computers just need a small ssd and with RX 570 you don't need to change the PSU, while the end result is so much better for not much more investment. 👍

your videos keep getting better, keep up the good work :D

4:30 You're CPU limited.

what driver you use to run this card my friend?

How about amd radeon hd 6470m

i have an R7 250x 2gb gddr5. i have no complains as a 720p gaming PC. It will do for most games even today, so many years after release and without propper driver support. Nevertheless the raw power it delivers resembles that of the integrated GPU of the R7 5700g, so i wouldn't suggest anyone to buy this card in 2024, even on an extreme budget, i would suggest to wait for a 260x, or an HD 7850, or an R7 370 that pops at the correct value, and aim for that, since these cards will provide about the same "dead" Driver Support but with 2x the raw power, making them way stronger 720p and still somehow capable 1080p GPUs. As for "dead drivers" True, they are dead for new driver support, nevertheless last stable driver for HD7000/200/300 series was in 2022, and these gpus are compatible with Win11 and Dx12, so still no major setbacks despite the fact that "same era" Maxwell cards from Nvidia keeps receiving driver updates.

i love how "mainstream" tech tubers tend to consider complete beast of a GPU like the Rx 570 "close to obsolete" since it won't run a game or 2 in 1080p at 60fps average... while it still manages to do just that in most of the tittles. But yet you find much older and less powerfull GPUs that will run quite modern tittles, if you only settle your expectations in 720p for a modest legacy hardware, you can be quite happy. You might not win a tournament, but you'll play just fine even modern tittles with mid range 10yr old GPU/CPU combos like an Fx6300 or a 2nd gen i5 2400 paired with a gpu like this or maybe a GTX 570 Ti that were considered mainstream yet budget friendly builds 10 years ago. Only downside is that you MUST have 16gb of DDR3 to remove the ram limitation from an already limited PC

isn't the R7 360M or 450M or whatever it was called an overclocked version of this card? would it be a better choice as it's a bit more updated (later revision of the same GPU) and has some more VRAM? i think it just draws board power and it's quite cheap on the used market and easy to find.

i really really like how you print out the tech power up gpu specs. very well done man ! i had an hd 7750 and it was great

The latest iteration of this card's gpu line is radeon r7 450 4gb from 2018 maybe? - quite a long time in Da game for the GCN 1.0 chip:) Great content man, keep up a good work.

Great Video, keep it up, not everyone can afford the latest hardware, so it's good to see videos with older hardware. Just out of curiosity, which drivers were you using? Stock AMD drivers? Have you tried using the modified drivers? Would be good to see if the drivers make any difference, I know they add support for newer titles, but do they give a performance benefit as well 🤔👍

the RX 580 8GB had such great longevity, still kinda does. 7970 vibes definitely. the RX 480 might be slightly cheaper, but is largely interchangeable. a very wide array of CPUs over the years are "suitable" for these as well, although depending on the exact model i think the PSU might be the limiting factor since it is unlikely to be "drop in" optiplex build compatible like the GTX 750 was. i feel like a cheap skylake/coffee lake build or 1st/2nd gen ryzen works pretty well with the rx 580 and these days are very cheap to put together..

Full potato 🥔

still a decent card.

I loved the video. Great with my morning coffee. Thanks for giving me that experience. Very curious about GCN 1, 2, and 3. Actually how I came across this video. Just seeing the evolution. 2021 was interesting. Have you experience with custom drivers GCN 1, 2, and 3 drivers like NimeZ or Amernime Zone? I would love to see any video you have on that. Have a lot of GCN 1, 2, and 3 that I would love so much to do modern gaming with just to see if I can pull it off. Have not yet looked into NimeZ or Amernime Zone but just though the vine I have heard both names. Edit: Appears NimeZ and Amernime is the same thing after googling. NimeZ is now known as Amernime.

what about regular DX11 mode no performance mode

What about Overclock it

still useing my r9 280x 3gb its good still in most games at least 30fps

I'm curious how it would perform with Lossless Scaling

Thanks for this video bro, well made

Those people still on this card prob need to upgrade 😂

what we are talking about you spend so much more money nowdays on everything that if someone tells me he can not afford 200$ for a GPU then it must be a lie because you want to play games in 480p ? really ? people used that resolution back then in 2002 - 2006 at max, then we had 720p and now 1080p is standard and 1440p is comon the best performance for Visuals you can get. Who on earth will play video games in 480p or even 720p nowdays when ther phones provide better performance and resolutions ?

It would be interesting to see the performance of these GPUs with Resizable BAR enabled, this can be done with the "AMD GOP update" (which enables UEFI support on such old GPUs), "ReBarUEFI" (adds Resizable BAR support to the motherboard BIOS. It works even on Sandy Bridge CPUs) and "Radeon-ID" (a video driver with the ability to enable Resizable BAR). If you dare to make the "AMD GOP update", it would be great to see a video of this update from you. As you will be the first to fully demonstrate it on TH-cam.

I've been using this GPU for decade And im gonna upgrade to rtx 4060 after a few months to be able to play the games that are Locked behind dx 12 And you wanna know what's my CPU?? And motherboard?? Z97-K mother board/ Intel core i7 4790k yeah im gonna get 4060 and use it on my current PC And im Not gonna change my CPU until it melts (don't care about bottleneck)/ just kidding wanna upgrade the rest of the specs later Cause pc specs are so expensive in my country The 4060 itself let's say i just wanna get the GPU if i wanna consider our money to dollar It's 450$ (yaks for fuckin mid range GPU) i either have to sell my PS5 or wait a bit longer to get 4060 to be able to play the dx 12 games This fuckin error Forces me to replace the GPU Really had great time with this GPU but unfortunately it's dead ass GPU that can't run new games because i see stupid ass dx 12 error They left me no choice but to look for new GPU/ fuck i hate these gaming devs

Even after i update my hd 6700 driver, it keep saying driver out of date, so how to fix that?

To Be honest The R7 250x will be the main media driver for me(a lil bit of M&B warband sessions) if the price lower than 20$

Can you test this card on uncharted 4 and alan wake 2

I'm trying to load multiplayer casual matches with my 260 but it practically crashes at the team selection screen

HOW MUCH OSU BRO I HAVE 230 PSU WHICH OF THE GRAPHIC CARD WILL WORK?

Very helpful video, it will help reduce electronic waste because these cards can still be used for many applications with a little help. I had mine until last year. I had the problem with my HD 6850 that it had too little memory for some newer titles even in the smallest setting, it always filled up every 40 seconds, and it hung for 5-10 seconds and nothing moved in Jurassic World from 2020 as the memory was empty again. I then seriously considered switching to my integrated HD4600, which can address more memory, but was too lazy to convert it, because other older games then ran worse, and I had to look for the settings again. Because of this memory problem, instead of switching to one with 8 gigabytes as I had initially planned, I went to 16 gigabytes in order to hopefully be better equipped for it. In the past, it has been shown from time to time that it is quite good to have a little more memory in reserve, even if the card is a little weak for the amount of memory, and you wonder why it has a little too much that you don't need at first. It later turned out that many textures usually require a lot of memory but less computing power. like the successor cards 7850, which also had twice the memory and can therefore be used for games for longer.
