How well do flagship graphics cards age? I compare the Nvidia GTX 285, which was the most powerful single GPU graphics card of its time, against the Vega 3 integrated graphics of one of the cheapest CPUs available today. Let's see who wins in a fight, a modern $55 APU or a 12-year-old flagship graphics card?

I've got a 16:10 27 inch LG from 10+ years ago and it lacks HDMI also , but my 1080p 27 inch monitor that sits nex to it aint better compared to it, and IT HAS hdmi (both IPS monitors)
My 1440p 27" IPS monitor only does DVI-D. And it's holdig up really well on a modern system. Only thing really lacking, is high and variable refresh rates. Which is what my 8 year newer, far inferior-for-color and angle, 1440p 144hz VA monitor is for.

@@webbie7503 I still use an i7 2700K today. Sandybridge was insanely good.
Remember GTX 285 is limited to DX10. Even the Vega 3 has support for DX12. One of the biggest reasons why most modern titles will not run at all on the old 285.
Side note: I still have my Xfx GTX 285 and love this card still. The most latest title I could run was Killing Floor 2, but I had to force it to launch in DX10 to make it work.
Now this is something I'm into. Keep doing these throughout the years. Earned the sub.

Had my Radeon HD 7950 from 2012 running for a while this summer because my other card died. 1080p games ran well, 1440p kinda worked.
So I would say in the 4 years between the GTX 285 and HD 7950 there was a lot of improvement.
Same for my 7850, which still sits in my 2nd pc
i have a 7870 atm and I can run Dying Light at max graphics at good fps… Moore’s Law was actually a thing back then
The Radeon HD 7- Series emitts so much nostalgia from simpler times
It's because the 285 doesn't have meaningful dx 11 support and doesn't have tessellation acceleration. Using a 580, you wouldn't have seen the same issues and if would have outperformed the apu by a large amount
This is a great video! I dig the comparison, I just upgraded from an I7 950 which I buiilt like 10 years ago with a GTX 460 to a Ryzen 3700x with an RX 580 4gb I got used for $90 from Kijiji.
The old system gave me 10 great years, mostly for photo editing but now... I feel relieved! So I really love seeing these comparisons.
Would like to see this on a newer APU, something like the 5700g. If I remember correctly that athlon cpu is based off AMDs older design before ryzen, which means it's horrible.
athlon 200ge is based on zen1, same as the rest of the (ryzen) 2000 g-series.
also same as ryzen 1000
There's no real point testing iGPUs post 3400G
Their performance increase is hardly anything to mention
It's just that newer APUs are no longer much slower than rest of the Gen chips with same core count
@@MaxC_1 well there are now the 6000 series mobile APUs and they have updated iGPU architecture from Vega - although you can extrapolate that would lead to an even more severe thrashing
the 5700g has equally hot garbage integrated graphics. the good news is that you have 8 decent cores with hyper-threading, but the iGPU is useless for anything more than a video signel.
“This motherboard is pretty terrible” me who currently has it installed: 😐
Dawid: Yeah 1 GB of VRAM is the reason for stutters.
Me: Wow so smooth with my 512 MB VRAM on my laptop APU.
an actual gpu or apu uses the ram as vram.
@@McLeonVP Well no and yes. While an APU does use the main system RAM, a GPU has it's own built in VRAM.
@@thatnongayfurry5063 of course but if you're using 4gb of 4gb of vram. Like a gtx 1650
If you exceed this. You're gonna have lower fps of course. But not stutters.
Cuz the system always share ram as vram.
For Ryzen the best ram is 3733mhz . And for intel 4400mhz or 5333mhz
@@McLeonVP One thing is that I was quoting David, the other thing is that you said that if I were to use a GTX 1650, then it would use the RAM from the main system which is not true as GPUs have their own seperate VRAM, atleast that is what I understood from your message.
@@thatnongayfurry5063 If shared memory doesn't exist. (in windows at least)

I actually use the B450M DS3H on my Ryzen 3600 build. I even overclocked my RAM from 2400 MHz to 3466 MHz.
"some" Gigabyte motherboard
@Mark Penhall he said it's a B450M Ds3h
I hate that damn motherboard.
Out the box had boot issues until one day it just threw a tantrum and decided to never wake up again.
Honestly, just get an MSI B450 tomahawk, sure it's an atx but by the gods, it's worth paying $30 more for.
That B450M DS3H is a nice motherboard :/ "some motherboard" ..
I own 2 of them, fantastic boards after you update the bios. Even managed to get some ancient 2133mhz ram to run at 2666mhz with nothing but the speed changed.
U know youtubers bruh. If it doesn't cost atleast $300 then it's terrible
@@randomusername1112 LowSpecGamer wants to know your location

I have a R5 3600x on it and it runs pretty well, now im not sure about manual overclocking but i use ryzen master with the auto overclock profile and it runs under 70°C in all my games while keeping boost clocks up
I like these sort of comparisons because, at least I'm my area, a lot people listing 10+YO tech still seam to think it's worth a lot. This is a really good example of how it doesn't age all that well after a certain point, and shouldn't be fetching such high prices.

Im still using gtx 295 in my secondary pc, what a beast even today. The only issue is directx 10.
The only issue is it can't play modern games without stutter lol
Tech with humor is a solid combo. Keep up the excellent work!
Lol dawid predicts the future with mike tysons next boxing match
i think the stuttering on the 285 could be because of the slow CPU core clock on the 200GE i bet it would happen with like even an i5 or i7 from those times or even a newer one just to see what the GPU can do with no bottlenecks
Yeah, I also thought that, but remember the Half-Life 2 was designed to run on WAY slower CPUs than the 200GE and it still had an issue with stuttering.
My nearly decade old HD6670 1 gig Gddr5 still outperforms Vega 5 but loses to a Vega 8 in test conditions. Driver Issues is a Major factor as I can confirm my old GPU has actually improved in performance with driver updates. (Esp in multiplayer titles)
Interesting comparison. Great video Dawid.
Thanks for watching. 😃
I see you replying to comments so I want to say Hi 🙋♂️.
Hello :D
@@DawidDoesTechStuff hi
Great video but HL2 runs great on a legacy system from 2007 i have so I'm sure a driver issue is holding it back.
it's a newer version of the game, same with gta 5
I had a GTX 280, which is the 285's slightly older and slower brother. If memory serves, it did OK for a 2008 graphics card on the 1280x1024 monitor I had at the time but it was quickly overshadowed by newer offerings. It's still lurking in my closet biding its time.
HOW DO YOU ONLY HAVE 66K SUBS. I'Ve been watchin ur vids and they are GREAT!! Keep up the good work! :)
Thank you very much. I appreciate you watching. 😃
Great video as always! Could you do another video with a Ryzen 3400G and a GTX 750Ti? Thanks 🔥
That sounds interesting i will look into it. 👍
@@DawidDoesTechStuff yes please!
As a 3400G owner. Vega 11 APU are great for 60FPS at 768P at high/ultra settings... (If Overclocked and with 3000mhz RAM) Im waiting for Vega 20/21 APUs which it comes on 2021.
If not ill skip it to Navi2 APUs on 2022
Probably i assume those 2 APU specially the Navi2 will make gaming dGPUless at 1080p. I expect gaming based NUC PC around
My dad's computer got these exact specs lmao
did you change the thermal paste on Nvidia dinosaur? Its dried rock solid years ago, and if you did not, some of the stuttering you experienced might be because of it, the GPU thermal throttling...
I changed the thermal paste when I got the card. :D (Not that long ago)
@@DawidDoesTechStuff good to hear, so then it just was the low VRAM and very outdated drivers that caused it, like you said in the video.
@@thiscouldntblowmore Yeah I think it is really badly optimized on Windows 10. Even on the deskop it runs pretty badly.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff Turn off Aero it requires DX11 that card only supports the feature level of DX10. For half life 2 it definitely wasn't the ram it uses under 400mb of vram on my system.

Wow, I got this recommended the day this video turned a year old, thats coincedencial.
I've ran the GTX 285 with the AMD Phenom x4 9650 cpu. Seems they were quite high end in 2008 back when Windows Vista was the latest and greatest operating system out there. They actually do a good job running games from 2013 or earlier.
I am currently using an AMD Phenom x4 9650. This gpu has aged really well, this thing can even run doom 2016 at constant 70 frames

Do a part 2 with the newer ryzen apu :)
hell, even with something of the same age, but more powerful, 2400g

3400g would smash a 285 :)
@@DawidDoesTechStuff might i suggest a evga gtx470? vs the latest amd apu?
Well I started putting together PC's back in the early mid 90's when I was at uni. Then didn't have the time because of travel/work etc and picked up again mid 2000's. Then because of again new career had to move to a new country stopped for a while and picked up this hobby again just last year. Every time I start again I had to take around 2 weeks to read up on all the new tech and it's always amazing.
This test should have been done with the new 3000G APU instead. It's about the same price as the 200GE, but it's relatively faster. I heard it overclocks pretty good too. Only problem is that it seems pretty difficult to get a hold of.
I'll be here in 2 years for the comparison between the GTX 1080ti and a 60 dollar APU fro 2026
Dawid Does Tech Stuff : dude, you made me laugh like crazy with that intermezzo "dom platz" of yours suddenly in the middle of being serious....that was some straight up freestyle stand up ;) !!!!
😂
Great video and you make an excellent point, most people only get to see high end tech and higher fps and overspend for it. You can make very good builds for very cheap and in a few years you aren't shelling out more big $$$ to keep everything at a point you are used to.
dude i played doom 2016 on that with atleast 32 fps so it worked good for me
I mean 500 dollar phones are now more powerful than most modern computers from 10 or even 5 years ago. It's actually fascinating to think about
I feel like it would have been more fair to use a GTX 480 or 580 simply for the DX11 support. But I guess it wouldn't have been a as interesting as the APU would be left in the dust hahaha.
You missed the point
I've been messing around with a 2200g here recently on a b350m board from MSI. Some things to know about these APUs;
Regardless of what spec the ram is that you put with it, unless you specify memory settings in the bios these APUs will default to running the ram at 2133mhz. Double check with cpuz and speccy, if they show 1067 on the ram clock you're running at base ddr4 frequencies and there's a pretty good performance lift when you force it to run at 2933 (1450mhz as reported by cpuz\speccy.) The ram I have socketed is corsair vengeance LPX at 3200mhz. I used the memory try-it to force it to 2933 cl16-18-18-36, it runs great.
The Vega 8 igpu can also be overclocked, quite easily since you're on an aftermarket cooler. (The better the heatsink you have, the more consistent performance you'll get.) Mine is at 1500mhz and 1.2v with the cpu section set to 3.7ghz and 1.35v.
I wonder if the people who mod Nvidia drivers got something that could still work... Although I don't think a better driver could fix the stuttering.
That would be really cool to see. I think the most important thing for them to fix is the terrible game support. :)
Does this card even support dx 11
@@JudeTheUA-camPoopersubscribe It doesn't support dx 11 so most games won't run anyway

My brother and I built a PC for the owner of the company we worked for in 2009 with 4 of those Nvidia GTX 285s. The Intel Core i7 was a new thing at the time, and we used whichever one was top of the line in the first quarter of 2009. Also, it had 4 Intel SSDs (which were considered the best SSDs at the time, and were the most expensive) in RAID 0, and Windows 7 Ultimate, which had recently been released to manufacturing. The amount of RAM, if I remember right, was 8 GB (it was at least 8 GB for sure; might have been more). I don't remember what the motherboard was, but it was obviously a high-end one. I don't remember what the case was either, but it was an expensive, sound-deadened case, and the first one I ever worked on that mounted the PSU on the bottom of the case rather than the top.
The funny thing is: he had no real need for such a powerful PC. He didn't play video games, but he did want 8 monitors to have all of his stock market pages open and visible at once, though that could have been done with 4 cheap video cards. However, he was a multi-millionaire who knew next to nothing about computers and just told us (we were in charge of his IT department) to build him the best PC we could, without regard to cost, so that's what we did.

Yeah, but this is a tech youtuber, and this B450 is in the bad side of the chipset. There are B450s that can be a better option than some X470s because of VRMs and stuff, but some B450s are pretty much A320s that support overclock.

It's a good budget motherboard, just not so good for high overclocks, which you might want to do considering it's a B450.
I love looking back at old hardware in comparison to new, cheap hardware.
I run a Phenom ii X4 810, 6gb of DDR3, and a GTX 260 (and only a hard drive as storage) as my travel system, because it's just good enough to do some grinding in GTA Online at 720p throughout the week while I'm away for work...

You've started it now, how about pushing on through the years, trying to find the earliest gpu that clearly surpasses the 200ge...
If the 200ge is not quite an upgrade for your existing gpu you have to wonder about the other components as well.
Well it's slower than a 2200g/2400g. And those are close to or near gt 1030 performance. Early cards that were close to that are gts 450 which is basically a gts 250...then there's 550ti that was an upgraded 450. Radeon equivalents were something like hd 5770, 6770... a 7850 is alot faster!
Also interesting to note... the gts 250 was actually a revised 8800gt die. LOL so nvidia rebranded it through lik 4 generations. What a legendary piece of silicon!

@@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou as you said a medium end pc a low end pc is = or faster than a console for 500-600$ aswell ontop of that we are not limited to psn shit service or Xbox live games are cheaper for us we have support for kb/m and any controller everyone needs a PC of some sort aswell and there's so much more... Like graphics settings higher fps list goes on
@@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou Well yeah, but the PC does a lot more than a console. You can just game and maybe see movies on the console, but with the PC you can edit videos, draw, create music, use Facebook (:v), you can even emule older consoles with it. For example, I've never had a console in my life, yet I've played Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, Mario Kart, Pokemon, Higurashi and Umineko when they cry, Paper Mario, God of War, Mortal Kombat, Smash Brothers, Crash Bandicoot, Luigi's Mansion, Star Fox, etc. Of course, I can never play the new releases, I have to wait a few months or years :'v
Whobwould have thought the Tyson analogy would hold true in 2024 😂😂

Probably not tbe classiest use of a compassion to the handicap kind of a bad move David I know it wasn't malicious but still my man bad look I'd advise shying away from it in the future please
Great video! Im still suprised how a 1050 compares with a vega 11 apu
classy using the handicap as a butt of your joke dude
Sjw alert
On paper, HL2 should run flawlessly. I suppose all of the constant source updates are making it more and more optimised for modern hardware.
It could also be the CPU section of the 200GE, although the game should run perfectly on even slower CPU's.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff Exactly! I ran it on a single core Celeron with ATI Radeon 9250 back in the day... yes it was DirectX 8.1 mode, but ran perfectly smooth.
Could always just run gtx285 contemporary hl2 versions
4:55 thank me later
Agreed, kinda hard to find that sweetspot where your not overspending, but you can still get the full value of the GPU for its timespan...
first maybe?
Yup!
Yeah, I think you got it. :D
I bought a GTX 280 launch week in 2008 ($650 yikes) used it for many many years. If anything it was not liking the cpus at the time, but paired with a nice CPU it does pretty good.
Doing an entire video just to show how it was stuttery in GTAV is a bit narrow sighted. Should have at least benched Bioshock Infinite due to DX9-10.
I don't know if you would ever read this, but...
Did you tried the GTX 285 with the athlon or a different one?
Personal experience: I used to have a FX6300+GTX960 for a while, but mobo died. Due to assignment panic, I bought an Athlon 3000G as a cheap replacement with a good upgrade path.
In paper, performance should be comparable to the FX, and it was on CPU workloads.
The problem, for some reason the GTX960 was getting bottlenecked, probably something to do with PCIe lanes or something else like cpu cache, idk. When I upgraded into a R5 3600, those problems disappeared, so something with the new Athlons hinders graphic cards performance
I just found an old Gigabyte Radeon HD 4850 1GB in a old box hidden away in the back of a room when I moved, and I was wondering if it was any point trying to use it for something. It was released 2008 and the Nvidia GTX 285 was released 2009, so it will most likely be the same story with the HD 4850. I will just try to recycle it as e-waste or something instead. Your video helped me to take that decision! Thank you!
Nice video. Should do a follow up video using all of the Other AMD ( Ryzen ) Apu's to see how this card fairs against them.
I actually ordered a GTX 285 for a "retro" ultimate Windows XP build I put together, sadly the card turned out to be DOA. I'd love to find another one, preferably working this time.
