The issue the One X has isn't graphical power, but CPU. The lackluster AMD Jaguar CPU wouldn't provide enough juice to get 30FPS on Starfield, nor does it provide a high enough throughput for the SSD. So in the end, it would look fine but run at 10FPS or less.

@@JosMyOpinion No way Belive me even Cyberpunk 2077 runs on a older Xbox One with Hdd , if they Optimized Starfield for the ONE X belive it will run amazing even if 1080 P , iz a Shame from MS when the one X came out at the launch Spencer lyed about No one will left behind but Xbox ONE X users are left behid.

That sucks! Hopefully it can hold on until you are able to replace it. I ordered a 5700 XT for $130 to replace mine since for the price it's the best performance I could get.

Correct! I just sold that PC 2 days ago, and before I did I replaced the thermal paste and benched Warzone again with the competitive settings and FSR on and it did 68 on average in Al Mazrah.

@@JosMyOpinion damnnnn good ✌️

It definitely taps out somewhere around 70-75 FPS at 1080p. That's the benefit of the AM4 platform though, sell the 2600X and throw in a 5600, that issue goes away.

Fallout 4 released in 2015, a year before the 1050 Ti. If those are the games you're playing, and you already have one of these, or find one super cheap, then it makes total sense to use it for that. If you need a new budget GPU, it's best to look elsewhere to get more for your money. A $75 8GB RX580 is a much better buy.

@@JosMyOpinion I have a 1660 ti in my main pc. I am waiting for the prices to go down a bit more before i upgrade. As far as the 1050 ti , i'm not looking to upgrade that system, i don't use it for any heavy gaming , it is where i keep my games like fallout 4 and on my main games that are a little more demanding like Cyberpunk , Halo Infinite , Black Desert , etc etc

@@JosMyOpinion I dont know where you got that price but a new one right now is between 140 and 190

Definitely a good idea to wait for prices to come down a little more before deciding what to upgrade to. You can find used 8GB RX580's for $75, sometimes less, and new ones for $90 on eBay, Amazon, Newegg and AliExpress.

@@JosMyOpinion the search i did the cheapest i seen was 141.99 and the highest was 190ish

That's awesome! A great introduction to gaming for a 7 year old. 🎉

I hope yours lasts too, having it fail abruptly was a pain in the ass.

You know, absolutely no one, even me, has made that point yet and it's a very solid one. Maybe they just enjoy the game of cheating and the thrill of not being caught.

Great points. If it's included in a build that you're practically stealing, get it, use it, whatever. Otherwise, not worth buying when the RX580 exists. Even more so, for around $100 (not sure if you can find them in the UK at equivalent prices) you can get the 5500XT as well, which also has the added benefit of the RSR driver based upscaling if you are struggling to get performance in a game that doesn't have FSR included. 8GB of VRAM is going to be fine for quite a while for 1080p medium settings, but when we cross the threshold of 1440p having more share than 1080p, 10-12GB at medium will not be uncommon.

😂 I was waiting for someone to bring that up. Not yet, "reballing" doesn't tend to work either and the smell can be obnoxious. I'll try it at some point, but I already ordered a replacement GPU so this one can sit on my display shelf for now.

It did appear that the 2600X had at least one loaded core and was causing performance issues, but given that the VRAM immediately failed at the end of this game session, I can only assume that it had something to do with it.

Ooo a white one, those look slick. Agreed, if you just want to play great looking games and 30 FPS is fine for you it's still worth it. I have it in my living room just to play when I want to relax, and it looks and feels great from that distance.

My opinion the Series X is next gen compared to one X Series X games on A 4k display looks near photoreal.

I probably won't get an external capture card for GPU stuff, only for the consoles. I'm not trying to be scientific, just give an idea of expected performance for builds, etc... 😂 That's pretty funny though, accurately capturing the TH-cam comments section. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. Your 970 lasted a very long time for sure. I just made a community post if you wanted to drop some ideas for games to add to the benchmark roundup!

Modern games are struggling on modern hardware too. I think anything over 3 or 4 years old is really going to see the end of its usable life soon very soon, which will make it cheaper for those who don't want to play the most demanding titles, but will mean minimum settings for modern games.

@@JosMyOpinion If the devs put in effort then the games will run fine. The recently released dead island 2 runs at like 150 frames at 1440p maximum settings on the 4070ti.

@@JudeTheTH-camPoopersubscribe Absolutely I can get 170-180 quite often with my 6900XT, but given how common the issue of optimization is now, I don't anticipate it getting much better. I hope I'm wrong but ... I doubt it.

You know, that old Bulldozer system isn't the worst thing you could be stuck on. There are many priorities above PC gaming, but when you get the chance to do that thing for yourself, you're going to have a fantastic time. If I can make a recommendation, I suspect you'd have a HUGE leap forward if you were to do something like a B550, Ryzen 5 5600, 32GB 3600 DDR4, a 1TB NVMe (plus your current storage), and either a 6700 XT or a 7600 XT if that has 12GB of VRAM. You could keep your same case and PSU if you wanted to, otherwise there are so many budget options for both that are great as well.

@@V8_SSP Change the CPU to a 5600 or 5600X as the 7600X is not compatible with the B550. Change the RAM to 32GB of 3600Mhz for improved performance. And, this is personal preference as Nvidia vs AMD tends to be but an RX 6700 XT or RX 6750 XT, even an RX 6800, is going to be a much better buy for longevity than an RTX 3070. The 6700 XT is slightly weaker but has 12GB of VRAM, the 6750 XT is slightly better, and the 6800 is a monster for the price. If you only want an Nvidia card, see what the best priced 12GB card is (except the 3060). Hopefully that helps!

@@JosMyOpinion i got the go ahead to treat myself!! this is what I am getting.

@@V8_SSP That seems like an excellent system. I'm going to assume you use it for more than just gaming as well?

@@JosMyOpinion i play a few games, im not into online gaming really, ocassionally dayz, or elite dangerous but my goto is gr wildlands and arma 3. I do have cyberpunk but have never been able toreally get into it as my gfx card means very low settings and crappy gameplay. not much else really, Perhaps I will do a build video and put it up, who knows. Thanks again for the help and advice most appreciated.

Because who's buying games in 2023, they're all broken? 😂 I'm only kinda joking. I'm building a PC for benchmarking stuff like this and it will have updated games on the list. Got any games you want to see?

You're the man! 🔥

Thank you! I got the 5500 XT ready to start working on it. You know, that's a great point. There are probably some GPU coolers that even with proper pressure don't spread the paste across the die evenly. I've not had that issue with any of mine up to this point, but it makes me curious enough that it might be worth at least a short video. Not sure how many GPUs I have, 12 maybe? That might be enough. 🤔

@@JosMyOpinion my GPU cooler died, so I had to replace it with an arctic accelero 3. It was an unwanted upgrade 😅 However… I had that thermalpaste problem with such a heavy and big heatsink. I use the RX 5700. The rival of the RTX 2070 😅 I hope your channel will get more attention because you deserve it👍✌️

Ahhh, that would make sense. If it's a large, heavy, heatsink but only attached by the 4 screws it might not apply pressure evenly. Do you have a 5700 non XT? I'm probably going to buy a 5700 XT for around $150 to replace the 2070 since they're still going for more than that.

@@JosMyOpinion absolutely still worth it. I have the non XT. I can play everything at 1440p or with some optimisation 1800p (the sweetspot between 2K and 4K no one talks about for whatever reason)

You know, I've never thought about playing at 1800p. I have a 34" 1440p Ultrawide and a 27" 4K monitor. What panel are you playing on, and what games do you play at 1800p? I'm going to have to try this out.

It's still pulling its weight that's for sure!

@@JosMyOpinion do you use that graphic

@@siardemaj393 Not in any of my personal PC's, I'll be doing a build to sell with it in there.

@@JosMyOpinion ohh beacuse I was gonna get a pc I have a low end laptop and I thought if you dont use that graphic if you can help me to give it to me but its alright

@@siardemaj393 Ah, I understand. Hopefully you can find something near you that works out!

I'll be building a PC specifically to do testing with and will update the games list then with the help of you guys! Thanks for watching. 😃

Thank you! 😁

That's exactly why most of the popular multiplayer games don't even support it. DRM / Piracy / Cheating is a primary concern for publishers with launching titles on Linux.

cyberpunk and that was version 1.3

@@EinSwitzer I've had a lot of feedback saying that my 1070 wasn't performing as well as others, likely due to temperature limits. With the fact mine was adequate, I'd assume anyone who's getting optimal performance is still really enjoying it.

@@JosMyOpinion burn in break in and testing . also check capacitors they can be hard to solder with how they function with energy / paste pad overclock to 1.9 or 2ghz / ours are mining burn outs silicon soaked chips

It's going to be the same for anyone who bought a 3060 with 8GB vs 12GB.

Jeez, £110 in 2017?! You stole that card, especially if you're still using it today - what a deal. I'm assuming that the reason your card is probably able to perform better is because this one kept running into its thermal limit as set by MSI Afterburner which was 83C. This will drop the clock speeds to keep the temperature in target rather than maxing out performance. I still haven't had a chance to tear it down and see if there is something causing the heat like dry thermal paste, missing thermal pads, or bad fans. Thank you for watching and subscribing, I really appreciate it.

110 GBP after 1 year was a very very friendly deal. I have that same card, I'm taking it to a 13600K system :)

Thanks! That's a weird outcome of enabling FSR in a benchmark. I've seen that happen in certain games and I have to restart it for the issue to go away. I agree with benchmarks not being a great indication of actual gameplay either, I don't even use any outside of trying out weird undervolt / overclock combinations.

💯 It really surprised me how well it continues to perform even in 2023. Someone looking for what this card offers will really be able to enjoy it still.

😂 Just for you

I completely agree, cheap and cheerful performance. The R5 3600 is also very versatile for upgrades and productivity, I use one in my wife's PC with an RTX 3070 for 1440p gaming.

Thank you! I hope you continue to get information out of it and it's helpful 😁

Send me a DM on Discord or Instagram, links are at josmyopinion.com 👍

Thank you! I find it genuinely astounding it still even manages to perform at any respectable level in 2023. I'll probably be keeping it around to go in a super low power server just for the NVENC.

@@JosMyOpinion yea it is still suprisingly strong still but its more of a esports gpu if anything at the moment more for the cheap premade pcs like the dell ones any i5/ryzen 5 is a good choice even lowered spec cpus

Thanks so much, it's really appreciated. Hopefully you continue to enjoy it as I improve along the way. If you have ideas for things you'd like to see, let me know as well. 😁

@Jos My Opinion this is an odd request, but if you're able to, could you possibly do Virtual Reality benchmarks with low-end gpus? I personally play VR on an i7 4770 with a gtx 1660 6gb, which many people say they would not recommend doing. And yet, I play it perfectly fine, and everything ends up looking good.

@@DiamondDepthYT I've wanted to buy an HP G2 VR headset for a while now. This might be just the excuse I need. 👌 I'll see what I can find for one.

That sounds horrible. Didn't Ubi announce they had a solution for physical input altering devices now too, though? I played Siege a few times a couple of years ago and didn't like it because it felt like there were a bunch of cheaters, so I gave up.

@@JosMyOpinion They might have one in the works. I haven't heard about it. I will have to research that. I've only ran into software ones like hit box registry and aim bot.

@@The_Nintenjones www.pcgamer.com/ubisofts-mousetrap-works-and-console-players-are-dancing-on-cheat-hardwares-grave/ Hopefully this helps detect more cheating events across games in general.

@@JosMyOpinion That's awesome it will help on console but I am on pc so I only run into mouse and keyboard players

@@The_Nintenjones I wonder if this "Mouse Trap" will also help them gather data on PC cheaters as well and improve that situation. It's just a pain in the ass trying to deal with the constant development of cheats that circumvent systems already in place, so I can see a defeatist attitude rolling through some of the devs. 😞

Apparently the GTX 970 was a fan favorite. This video has done really well for engagement, and with lots of fond memories being told. 👀 Gigabytes cards are great, the only ones I think that looked better than the G1 Gaming versions were the Windforce.
