I had the XFX HD7850 1GB in my main system from May 2013 to Dec 2020. I was happy with it for over seven years. That is until: I purchased Red Dead Redemption II and wanted all the eye candy at 1080p. Stepped it up to an RX580 8GB which was a huge step up. That worked perfectly from Dec 2020 until Oct 2022 when I wanted a bit more frames. I stuck with team red and purchased an RX6650XT which about doubled the performance again. Last Nvidia card was a GTX 280 over ten years ago. Thanks for the video NoaB!
Yead back then ATI/AMD with HD GPUs were always the little bit ahead implementing the newer Direct X, so although they are on Legacy Drivers they can still run many newer games a similar aged nVIDIA will fail to launch.
I had a HD 7770 GHz édition last year and i ENJOY playing valorant on it it was my first graphics carte untile l found a nice pc with a GTX 770 for about 100€
In unreal engine 4 titles, you can force the textures to load by forcing ultra texture settings. Weird but true. Works on star wars jedi fallen order, kena bridge of spirits and hellblade senua sacrifice.
In 2008-2013, I played the hell out of contemporary games with 256mb vram. GTA IV, Skyrim, Mafia 2, Just Cause 2, Fallout NV, tons of games that you'd think just wouldn't work at all. I wish I could see now how it looked back then. 😂
I got this exact card a year or two ago for 20 bucks complete in box to use for a retro XP machine. Although these days I use old MacBook Pros and boot camp for retro stuff. They use much less space than a full PC and a 2008-2012 Unibody MacBook Pro still can look great today and are powerful enough for older games especially if you get the 15 or 17 inch versions with dedicated graphics.
I had the 1GB Sapphire card. Got it off Newegg for $180 in 2013, It came with Tomb Raider (reboot) and Bioshock infinite! Was a great little card, this was the last radeon card i had until my most recent build a few weeks ago using a 7900xtx.
I was using this card's big brother (7870 GHz edition) until last summer in my main rig and until a month ago in my secondary PC (moved to an RX 580). My kids were consistently playing Fortnite, Cities Skylines and Genshin Impact with no complaints. They could have played on the PS4 or Xbox Series X in our house, but preferred the 7870 PC experience.
I think this GPU could be a good idea for anyone that want's a emulation pc.For example making a custom arcade cabinet and put a decent pc in it with this GPU to run old arcade games and others with arcade sticks like a Mayflash Arcade Stick F300.
I have a small collection of OG video cardz, but have not tried to use them with modern games. I have a couple 1gb cards in a similar era, an XFX 6850 and a BFG GTX 275. I may have to setup a test rig and see what they can do. I have not tried them in an OS newer than Win 7. I bet if I turn off all the Windows Aero features I could boost performance. Neat video and I was surprised to see some of those games even run, like Cyberpunk 2077 and that Harry Pothead game. Another thing to note is that AMD's EOL GPUs got support from them a lot longer than those from the Nvidia. My guess is that you compare your 7850 results to a GTX 560 and the AMD would possibly preform better and, OC run cooler than the Fireme of the 500 series.
Had a club 3d hd 6970 as temporarily replacement for my gpu, it got 93,5 degrees (celsius) while playing ark and it had the same sound as a vacuum cleaner. Was fun tho
G'day Danny, What you were saying about prices is very true, either no one wants them so effectively they are worth $0 or... these items are still wanted in the Retro Gaming Market so worth something but what 🤷♂??? so yeah for sellers it can be confusing. Here in Australia the Multimonitor GPUs get down to about $10-$20AUD, but Gaming GPUS will only drop to about $30-$50AUD depending on how popular they are, also along with those who try to offer STOOPID Low prices to those selling there is also the opposite of sellers listing for STOOPID prices. I have been looking for a 650Ti 2GB to pair with a C2Q6600 for a DELL Retro Gaming PC so have been keeping an eye on them lately, on Ebay today there are 39 GPUs if you search GTX650, they range from a Galaxy 1GB for $27AUD Delivered through a list including 650 2GB/Ti/Ti Boost models up to an ASUS 1GB $170AUD Delivered, Yes $170 for a 10yr old base spec 650 1GB & it has rusty screws & I/O ports 🤦♂WTF.
I owned a HD 7870 back in the day. Currently have a collection of hardware, I like to mess around with the amernime drivers and my 7850 4gb, 7870 4gb, 280x 4gb and compare against my other polaris cards.
My first build PC was in 2011 when I bought an i2500k with a GTX 560ti .. awsone card used it for about 5 years or so ... then upgraded that card to a 980ti with same CPU then to a 1080ti with an upgrade to Ryzen 1600 then upgraded to 2080 super, which i just recently upgraded my CPU to a 5800X3D for $300.. so maybe in a year or two upgrade that GPU to whatever card gives me the best value for my budget at that point and what i ended up doing was buying a B450m for the 1600 and paired it a RX590 FatBoy edition for $50 which gives me 1080p high to ultra settings.
My friend had 7770 1gb and it were beast. Everything ran just fine. Battlefield 4 were nice with ultra exept AA but it were bad and making things unclear anyway. Also cybersport titles still running is pretty nice.
I still have my 560Ti from way back, that was part of my first PC build that I pared with a 2500K cpu, I haven't used this card in a few years but was thinking of putting it back together and doing a small server for movies and games but not just haven't research enough to make this happen, that 560ti was rocking for a few years till I pull the trigger and upgrade to a 980Ti and notice the huge difference, then came the 1080Ti and upgraded to Zen1 1600 and then upgraded to a 2080Super and a few years after upgraded to 5800X3D cpu, Then I bought rx 590 Fatboy because I wanted to try AMD and like it so bought the 6800XT and pared it with 5800X3D , pared the fatboy with my old 1600 cpu and I sold my 2080S for AMD 7600Xt and bought 5600X3D ... This has been my GPU journey, main pc in living room .. mid pc in my bedroom .. and low-end pc in my garage and use it mainly as a Steam Link and this works great and get excellent picture quality from my main pc with hardly any latency .. and having a Microcenter near by is the only reason I was able to afford all these changing of GPUs their in-store warranty is freaking awesome
On Ebay (Australia) I could get the 2GB model for less than a 650ti. Not that I would because I bought the 650ti OC 2GB back in early 2014 - which at the time I only bought because it was new and had a VGA connector - which was the only input my 1027x768 monitor/TV had other than A/V and S-Video.
Where i live there is a marketplace that you can pay it forward so someting like this would fit that maybe someone needs just a basic display card so you can give it away and so on.
5:00 I feel like there was a missed opportunity to not use custom community supported drivers here, I tried them myself on a HD 7850 recently and they perform a lot better and new games can run on it.
have you tried the modded drivers? im using them with a 7770 2gb (rebadged as the R7 250x) and it runs stuff decently, even God of War, Doom Eternal, and the like
@@bhxlegend look up NimeZ drivers for AMD. FSR worked running GoW. Also with the modded drivers, any crap like the texture issues in Doom Eternal went away. damn card surprised me. Can't run anything that is strictly DX12, sadly, so Metal Hellsinger crashed every time, but those drivers WILL breathe new life into older GCN cards. Mind you, im running a lot of newer stuff in 900p or 720p but they play and its a blast. im doing up an old parts PC for my 11 yr old niece for Roblox etc and i can feel more confident in throwing in a card like this now, and not worry if she wanted to start playing Minecraft, eSports etc.
I do use an R7 265 - identical to the HD 7850 - from time to time. Currently though I'm playing around with something old enough to have it's own ID - an HD 6670.
I used to own this exact gigabyte model of the HD 7850 bit it was the 2gb version. It is still pretty decent if we're talking about 900p or 720p gaming or even 1080p in eSports or older titles
I have the R7 260x, although it has less shaders dan the hd 7850, but it run even more games due to directX 12 support. . Mine can even start on resident evil village. In unreal engine 4 titles, you can force the textures to load by forcing ultra texture settings. Works on star wars jedi fallen order, kena bridge of spirits and hellblade senua sacrifice.
I still keep my gigabyte GT630 2GB DDR3. Even when my friend borrowed it few months ago, it could played genshin at playable fps, albeit very noisy. But I know it can run World of Tanks with more than 60fps on low setting full HD
"Yes, one gigabyte..." Bitch, I remember when PC's were lucky to have an EGA video card. My very first 'real' video card (Back when they were still bragging about '3d acceleration') had all of 1 MEGABYTE. Of course a ten year old video card can't hack today's games, esp if it's a midrange or low end one. Occasionally, a 'best of series Top Dog ' card will surprise, but even then it's usually limited to decent frame rates at lower resolutions and with many or all extra effects turned off in part because it tends to have no driver support and is a generation or two behind in the graphics APIs. Anyway, I like your channel, but the way you acted like "only one gig" of video memory was sooooo scandalous and unbelievable was funny as hell.
My very first dedicated video card was back in 1999. It was the Diamond Stealth III S540 with 32MB "frame buffer." I loved that system. It was such a beast back in the day. I just try to imagine what the specifications for these pixel pushers will be in another twenty years when everyone it nostalgic over the 1080ti, another wonderful period "accelerator." Enjoyed your comment.
Man I have the mobile 1gb variant of that card (7800M) and damn that card is still running good. Well I think modded drivers and a lil bit of overclocking could help ig
At that point maybe you can get the RX 6700 XT for more VRAM (12GB) or the ARC A770 with 16GB. With ARC A770 actually being affordable with the current discounts.
I ran an r9 290 for 9 years and have run my 5700xt for 4 years now. A gpu only needs upgrading if your needs require it. This isnt apple, we arent sheep and do not need the latest and greatest money pit if it does not meet our needs. Cheers for the content. Our son has used an rx 580 since release and it plays elden ring fine for him. Then again we dont follow trends, stream, edit or need ray tracing. All laughable garbage for majority of gamers. Im sure plenty of white knights will say my 5700 xt is not good, even though they arent me. I did pick up an hd 7850 2gb for 10 quid to put in a windows 7 retro build i did and wish I had just used my super old r9 290 which still played triple a games up to 2021
Would be good to compare with its nvidia rival at the time 650ti and 660... AMD fine wine with future technologies etc... I got my son a 7870 2gb as his first gaming about 5 years ago!
Your system with DDR4 is definitely relieving the memory bottleneck with the card. When the card goes over its VRAM capacity, it'll start using the regular system memory as VRAM. It'll definitely perform worse if the system memory was clocked any lower or if you used a DDR3 system.
This kind of makes me wonder. The HD 7850 ran Metro 2033, a hard to run 2010 game at 1080p at 40fps. And it now runs CP2077, a hard to run 2020 game, at 15fps. That sounds bad, but is it really? Consider that the 3050 runs CP2077 at 110 fps at Medium. Will it run the most stressful 2030 game at 40 fps? Will it even have the featureset to run a 2030 game? Will we look back at the HD series and wish cards aged as good as those have?
Love it that is actualy a Gigabyte card hahaha. Last 1g card i owned was a GTX 460. And i too got rid of it because 1gb vram was already not enough seriously... and that was like 9 years ago?
$200 from 2012 is worth at least $500 . Inflation calculators are garbage. Real inflation is much higher. Also 7850 (2 GB version) was considered PS4 equivalent . Even this 1 GB version runs PS4 games fairly well if you have fast RAM (3200 MHz ...)
I wonder how a 5870 (crossfire and single) or even a 8800 GTX Ultra (SLI or single) would do? If it is good enough for FartNite, and web browser games, the kids will be happy enough.
I just played 10 years on my gtx770 with an Intel I5-3570k and it was doing very fine, it could always play the new titles with medium settings on decent fps but now I feel that this is no longer the case in recent titles and its finally time to retire my old friend and upgrade. I just got a Asus rog strix 1070ti 8gb very cheap (120 euros) from a friend and I will put it in my rig this weekend, cant wait, jumping from 2gb vram to 8gb will be such a huge upgrade! Then I thought with a new graphics card I also need something better than my old Intel I5-3570k so I ordered a Ryzen 5 3600 for 80 Euros and a B550 Motherboard for 100 Euros because my old one doesnt fit the new processor and some 16gb ddr4 ram for 40 Euros (I was still rocking 16gb ddr3 1600 from 2013) and I basicly have a brand new PC for 340 Euros. I will keep my power unit with 600W and my two hard disks and the case basicly. so if you want to upgrade to the next gen it can be done on a budget, maybe at first a used 10 series card for 100-150 bucks may be enough for you. GL
1GB? weak. I still have the gpu from the old pentium 4 single core pc that's rocking a solid 32mb gpu now that's a beast 😂 In all seriousness tho that gpu is holding on stronger than I expected. Seeing the difference and the technology advancements made really blows my mind.
Hey, I know you won't notice or care, and other subscribers probably think I'm a massive asshole for even mentioning it but I'm unsubscribing because of the hogwarts legacy. It's been good, I genuinely wish you the best of luck with your channel but on principal I'm out.

Wouldn't really call them playable
I have this card and it works great for older games. I use it in an WinXP and Win7 dual boot build.
In 2008-2013, I played the hell out of contemporary games with 256mb vram. GTA IV, Skyrim, Mafia 2, Just Cause 2, Fallout NV, tons of games that you'd think just wouldn't work at all. I wish I could see now how it looked back then. 😂

I had the 1GB Sapphire card. Got it off Newegg for $180 in 2013, It came with Tomb Raider (reboot) and Bioshock infinite! Was a great little card, this was the last radeon card i had until my most recent build a few weeks ago using a 7900xtx.

They could have played on the PS4 or Xbox Series X in our house, but preferred the 7870 PC experience.
I see this card often cited as "the console GPU", and this just proves that.
I'm using Nvidia GT 710 1gb right now.
Playing PoE, WoW 3.3.5 private server, Diablo Immortal and Archeage.
Also 1600x900 resolution.
Even in 2011-12 my GTX 560 Ti felt limited in some games by only having 1GB of VRAM.
I think this GPU could be a good idea for anyone that want's a emulation pc.For example making a custom arcade cabinet and put a decent pc in it with this GPU to run old arcade games and others with arcade sticks like a Mayflash Arcade Stick F300.
I had the XFX HD7770 on my system, but I replaced it to Sapphire HD6950 for more FPS on games..

G'day Danny,

these items are still wanted in the Retro Gaming Market so worth something but what 🤷♂??? so yeah for sellers it can be confusing.

Did you test also with 3rd party drivers like nimez drivers ? I would like to see if it make a difference
I just "Upgraded" from a GForce 670 to a 1050Ti. It's not a huge upgrade, but it does the trick for the little gaming I do.

get the 6600

Would've loved to pair a 7850 with 13th gen intel in 2012
You should try the 2gb model
Theres a driver mod called NimeZ which can run new amd driver on older cards
I think you forgot to mention, that the 7850 normally hast 2gb of vram and the 1gb was the low vram option
work great for my windows 7 retro game
My first computer had 1mb of video memory. I thought I was a boss when I upgraded to 2mb.
Would be good to compare with its nvidia rival at the time 650ti and 660... AMD fine wine with future technologies etc... I got my son a 7870 2gb as his first gaming about 5 years ago!
Your system with DDR4 is definitely relieving the memory bottleneck with the card. When the card goes over its VRAM capacity, it'll start using the regular system memory as VRAM. It'll definitely perform worse if the system memory was clocked any lower or if you used a DDR3 system.
That's impressive.
Trying to install the amernime drivers for mine
This made me appreciate my trusty rx 580 4gb more
wonder what the top 10 of 1gb cards would be
But use nimez drivers and you will get the last one
This kind of makes me wonder. The HD 7850 ran Metro 2033, a hard to run 2010 game at 1080p at 40fps. And it now runs CP2077, a hard to run 2020 game, at 15fps. That sounds bad, but is it really? Consider that the 3050 runs CP2077 at 110 fps at Medium. Will it run the most stressful 2030 game at 40 fps? Will it even have the featureset to run a 2030 game? Will we look back at the HD series and wish cards aged as good as those have?
i love this kind of video it reminds me of zwormz
I was not prepared for that necromorph skin in Hogwarts Legacy.
Idk but I am almost certain it is leagues above my integrated AMD graphics (A12-9720P)
Love it that is actualy a Gigabyte card hahaha.
Last 1g card i owned was a GTX 460. And i too got rid of it because 1gb vram was already not enough seriously... and that was like 9 years ago?
1GB is great for older games and some older emulated games.
This video really made me feel like I can juice my 1050 2gb on some few games medium settings.
old gpus are good for people who want to add a multiple monitor setup.
$200 from 2012 is worth at least $500 . Inflation calculators are garbage. Real inflation is much higher. Also 7850 (2 GB version) was considered PS4 equivalent . Even this 1 GB version runs PS4 games fairly well if you have fast RAM (3200 MHz ...)
I wonder how a 5870 (crossfire and single) or even a 8800 GTX Ultra (SLI or single) would do?
If it is good enough for FartNite, and web browser games, the kids will be happy enough.
I didn’t know you could play as a Dementor in Hogwarts Legacy.
Im also still using a 1 gig Nvidia geforce Gt 610
Quite crazy we now have mainstream gaming GPUs with 24 GB of VRAM (its great though, I have zero issues with low VRAM🤣🤣🤣)
Um what? 3090, 4090 and 7900 XTX are mainstream cards? I thought those are enthusiast level, halo cards.
Can it run dark souls 3?
I remember when these 1gb cards were considered "uselessly overpowered"
When the required VRAM is nowhere near enough how on earth do the games still work? 🤔🙂
I guess they run the graphics overspill from system RAM.
2gb I got it still do can't sell it😢
14:34 when Hogwarts Legacy releases on Switch
these gpus are still powerful but they use the software to tone it down to crap performance ,so that they can sell the new ones more.
par a wallr 🤩🤩
With important to you you can replace the
The memory is 8 GB
dang. i would pay $5 maybe $10 tops
So for 600php(10$) i can play lots of games with an average of 60fps,damn bro gaming is getting cheap
anybody else still making it by with a GTX 750ti?
I just played 10 years on my gtx770 with an Intel I5-3570k and it was doing very fine, it could always play the new titles with medium settings on decent fps but now I feel that this is no longer the case in recent titles and its finally time to retire my old friend and upgrade. I just got a Asus rog strix 1070ti 8gb very cheap (120 euros) from a friend and I will put it in my rig this weekend, cant wait, jumping from 2gb vram to 8gb will be such a huge upgrade! Then I thought with a new graphics card I also need something better than my old Intel I5-3570k so I ordered a Ryzen 5 3600 for 80 Euros and a B550 Motherboard for 100 Euros because my old one doesnt fit the new processor and some 16gb ddr4 ram for 40 Euros (I was still rocking 16gb ddr3 1600 from 2013) and I basicly have a brand new PC for 340 Euros. I will keep my power unit with 600W and my two hard disks and the case basicly. so if you want to upgrade to the next gen it can be done on a budget, maybe at first a used 10 series card for 100-150 bucks may be enough for you.

@@Gaphalor yea my old baby is def gonna be retired soon. i still have a i5 6400 along with everything that came w my asus prebuilt lol.
Surprisingly it still kinda worked after 10 years. If I'm going to build a very low budget gaming machine, this might be my pick
huuuhh people use less amd card today? gahh damnn
bro be haopy yoi have 1 gigs card. My laptop donot even run😂
Hogwarts Legacy PS1 version
my gpu is gts 450 512mb 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
1GB? weak. I still have the gpu from the old pentium 4 single core pc that's rocking a solid 32mb gpu now that's a beast 😂
In all seriousness tho that gpu is holding on stronger than I expected. Seeing the difference and the technology advancements made really blows my mind.
i have 128mb 🗿💀💀
i still got a xfx hd6870 2gb inuse Vs the 1gb model the 2gb definitly helps it limp along a little longer.
also still using a r9 270 thats been oven baked Thrice back to life. gpu runs hotter then normal but it lives in a shed.. soo the heat is welcome lol
Fortnite came out 6 years ago? 🤢
aka the ps4 graphics chip
Hey, I know you won't notice or care, and other subscribers probably think I'm a massive asshole for even mentioning it but I'm unsubscribing because of the hogwarts legacy.
It's been good, I genuinely wish you the best of luck with your channel but on principal I'm out.
You a feminist?
