Congratulations, now you own a ryzen powered Playstation 3.

@@kidori121 actually no, you can not compare a PS2 to computers simply because of how much it differs from computers, which is why the PS2 is so demanding to emulate.
@@Ozzianman actually no, just buy a better CPU to have better emulation on PS2
@@Tofuuuuuu yea the GPU has to do like 0 work it's all the cpu
@@kidori121 4MB VRAM? Are you kidding? Sony says PS3 GPU (Nvidia Nvidia 7800GTX based of) is 1.8TFLOPS in their press specs... then Sony lists behind links only during release times PS4 GPU had 1.84TFLOPS. Tell me about progress there. PS2 is totally not there with 4MB VRAM to be said to be even close. The thing which separates PS3 of others is XDR Ram speed and IBM Cell cpu which power was passed only recently in raw power by Ryzen cpu's lately (if you knew how to use it).
Human eyes can't see beyond 256mb VRAM anyways
Comment of the month lmao
Human eyes can’t see beŷond 1gb vram and 8gb ram

Or 6 teraflops
Or beyond x64
Or beyond windows 10 or Linux latest version kernel
Or beyond 120fps (capped to 60)

Man, that card is freezing cold
Need to get myself one of those tiny fan brushes.
My old laptop's Nvidia 3100M has only 256MB, and runs Left 4 Dead 2 and Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion pretty good.

today my vega56 has died, now i use a gtx 275 with a ryzen 1800x
then you desperately need to upgrade rofl.... $100 prebuilt with a add in budget rx 470 or something would easily play this at 1080p high.
I'll be honest, I'm surprised some of these games launched successfully, let alone averaging 30+ FPS in HD.
When i had HD7770 i played gta 5 on 20 fps lowest without shadows 800x600
@@orion5401 That's weird. 7770 is easily faster than a 2008 HD 4890 for example or GTX 285 and GTA 5 should've run much better than 20 fps on min settings at 800x600
@@raresmacovei8382 ikr, it was from xfx my dad brought it brand new several yrs ago, i will never buy xfx
I got a 512MB GT8800 and it ram the games I tested on it pretty decent, it's kinda like a GT730 but slightly better.
If both cards can run the games that is.
@@orion5401 What's your CPU? With low settings at a low resolution, you might have ran into a CPU bottleneck.

Back in 2012-2013, my brother-in-law gave me a Radeon 4550 HD with 512 MB of VRAM and I immediately paired it with my then current build: a Dual Core 5400E and 2 GBs of RAM. I was so happy that I could run Doom 3 BFG flawlessly with some tweaks here and there. Sure, drivers' support for the card are dead now, but I still love it for what it meant to me: the chance to play some of my favorite games without worrying too much about the lack of VRAM. I still have the card but I no longer use it, given that my old build died about 10 months ago. I currently use a laptop and I have the card only as an emergency display adapter for other builds. Have a good one, everyone!
these vids never get old *unlike the cards*
So true :)
"Sometimes VRAM isn't as important as people like to point out." - Thank you. That's what I thought when I bought my RX580 4GB.
I wouldn't want a 4gb vram card in 2020 personally. its still fine today but the 8gb cards are a safer bet if you're planning to keep it for another couple of years.
@@ChosenOneDan 3-4 gb of vram is completely fine as long as you're not planning to go over 1080p.
@@TheRealWALLABI it "depends" theres games now at 1080p that can use 5gb.
I personally still believe people were insane in 2014 for buying GTX 970/980 with only 4 GBs VRAM instead of R9 390/390X with 8 GB of ram.
It's been clear for a few years now which has been the smarter buy.
@@TheRealWALLABI not really, today i was playing SOTTR on my RX570 8GB at 1080p and the vram usage would go up to 7GB sometimes
Almost makes me regret selling my Core 2 Duo + 9600 GT (512MB) system in 2013...ALMOST. Fascinating to see just how much you can stretch old parts.
I still have a 9600GT , i tought it was impossible to run gta5 with it..
I still have mine with a Zalman cooler,was an amazing, just a pity that vram limitation becomes such a big problem, maybe one day when system memory speeds catch up to vram we can put them back to use
He was using a Ryzen 7 in the video, and the Ryzen 7 has a very good integrated graphics, probably this GPU doesnt was being used by the system.

Hello Budget Builds Official 👋👋
Heyo
Budget-Builds Official give me this card I want to study it please jk dont
3:54 OMG clean that intake fan 😂
256MB? I have a card that comes with 256K, I upgraded it to 512K after sorting through several bad DIP RAM chips... the best it can do is 1024x768x16. Interlaced. A CRT is a must.
Nothing beats good old VESA mode 0x13! Just blasting pixels straight across the bus into your VRAM chips, no fancy "Graphics API's" that get in your way...
What's it paired to?
Well done review as always. However, i know 2 things which could improve the specsheet in the beginning of the video:
- Add core and memory clockspeeds (also shader clock if it's an older card).
- Add the buswidth to the memorytype. This would be a good indicator of the card's memory bandwidth.
Your narration skills are top notch,
just as always.
3:20 watching that polish up was strangely satisfying
3:56 front case fan very dusty ^^
Budget Builds Officials I love your videos!! Please keep up the good work!!
Neat test! GTA V continues to impress with just how little hardware it needs to run, although I really wasn't expecting CS:GO and BeamNG to do as well as they did!
I know this is not related to the video but your voice is extremely calming compared to other tech-tubers. Also, keep up the awesome content!!

Hey Budget Builds Official.I love your videos :)/ .Watching them since 2017.I have an request.Can you test Palit 9800GT 1gb version?
it's 3:50 am here and hey why not? Really love your video mate 🤙
Good old times! Nice video! I had the 8800GTS 512mb, 65nm 112 shaders. a beast it was! even my stepbrother used it later on in his computer.
I thought GT 210 was bad
and I was right
GT 210 with a cheap fan strapped on: GTA V at 20 FPS
8800GT with 256MB: GTA V 30 - 40 FPS
yes, GT 210 is worst than 8800

Me and my mrs go crazy when you upload. Youre doing a fine job sir.
Had something similar, but the 512 mb, which i must say was much more stable in framerate

My 7300LE would like a word with you.
Ayee great stuff my dude! You have some great vids honestly just keep the grind up and you'll be super successful I know you will! Cheers! 😁
Nicely done as always.
pls try the first card ever shown in ur channel in 2020
Hmm.. seems that card has enough power for some android gaming. How about trying it out on some android emulator like Blue Stacks or hell even on freshly installed x86 android OS?
android x86 will not start, as it would not be compatible with the gpu. tested it with a gt 8400 gs and it didn't work
Always enjoy your pc hardware videos. Coming to think of it, I've never had a 256MB graphics card. Only 128MB or lower (mostly FX cards) and only 512MB or more... I recently bought an HD3850 AGP 512MB though and it really kicks ass in Windows XP/Vista era of games.
Actually reassured me a bit, because I ordered a Dell XPS M1530 just yesterday with a similarly spec'd Geforce 8600GS, so I know what to expect when it arrives. Amazing video as always, love you man and keep up the good work!
8600GS is much weaker than the 8800GT Unfortunately. Where this can handle GTA V in 720p...Thats more of a 480p No Shadows style job
@@BudgetBuildsOfficial Really? I must've been misinformed. Thank you for letting me know. Atleast retro-gaming is still on the table!

HAAAAH YOU FOOL I USE A 64MB INTEL HD 610!!!!! (I get 2 fps with any 1080p :(. )
Ender Dragon ouch. at least I have 128mb of vram
dang, I was early
great video as always
YES I LOVE REWATCHING Budget builds lol, and i just noticed.. DID you use cologne to clean the the card ?? lol @ 2:20
Better than my gt 710🤣
No, its not
Nice job dude!
Nice video man
lights off, earbuds at 30%, watching budget builds. best time of the day
Oh yes! The mighty Poundland LCD Cleaner brush! Such a handy thing, I actually have a couple :D
Thank you for the wonderful example of what's possible with older hardware.
Nice to see your csgo skills are getting better!
Man times flying. As a young boy I could dream of the 8800GT , I only had money for the 8600GT and it got me trough some serious long nights of Modern Warfare and even Crysis.
Very good my friend, I have an old gt 8600 with 256mb vram and I was wondering lately if that card would work on my ryzen system. I'm not gonna do it on purpose, but if my gtx 1060 for some unknown reason stops working one day at least with the old one I will be able to keep using my pc untill I find a replacement. Really nice!!!
I’ve been hyped all day
I like that you had to go off your way *and went* just to run and test beamng drive.
It would be interesting to see more about this compatibility thing steam has. I didnt even knew it exists.
Oh, and If you ever dive deeper on the explanations of vram amount, could you also show how vram speed and technology (i.e. gddr5 vs gddr4) would affect it?
Awesomness to relax to on wonderful evening.
I had an 9600gt 512mb, same asus model as this with blue pcb and same cooler. I have fond memories of this card. I still have it laying around.
I would like to see proper racing games tested on these gpus.
The first time I remember having more than 256MB of VRAM was a good thing, was with Doom 3. Where having IIRC 512MB of VRAM allowed you some extra good textures.
I was remembering exactly that, when in the graphics options you could activate some ultra textures and it said somethig about 512mb required, but I activated ot anyways with 256 and had cero problems and it was a really good experience (gts 8600)
I love the smell of old pc's in the afternoon
Good work.
3:52 I think it's about time that case fan took a trip to the garden for a cleaning.
Funny you came the conclusion early in the video that it compares close to an Intel HD 520. I came into possession of a system with a HD 530; after running it through it's paces found it's close to a 2007-2009 card. Some benchmarks land it a bit below the AMD HD 4830, others close to the 2006 8xxx line you're looking at today. :)
Kind of neat that we've seen 10x perf per watt improvement the past decade. The fact the HD 530 can run games that used to take a 105w+ card to is impressive to me.
I remember having a 9800 and moving from my 360 to that PC I remember feeling so cool and that my PC was so strong lol. That was when I moved to it in 2013 so it was DATED already
Idk if you have one, but a 512 mb card would be fun to see, I recently bought a 512 mb card inspired from seeing your tinkering videos :3, love the vids!
I had a PC with 2 8800GTXs in SLI, each with 768mb of RAM. Back then my pc was a beast as it also had 2gb of system ram and an intel qx6700.
Rediscovered this channel
Will you do more videos on cards with 512MB? I'm interested in how the AMD HD4xxx series holds up.
Love my 8800 GT 512mb it was my first Graphics card ever purchased it off Craigslist in 2015 and used it up to 2017, I have it packed away the card still works but i plan on keeping it forever.
WOW! Finally competition for my garbage A8-9600's iGPU (I can't even give it more VRAM, cause I have an a320 mobo and I wasn't able to find an option for it in the BIOS. I don't think it would increase my FPS by a lot, even if I could change it)
bro just replace that garbage and go ryzen already. those A8 cpus are a big yikes... can find r5 1600s / 2600s secondhand for cheap. used rx 470 / 570s are cheap too
Good video showing that 256MB VRAM can be somewhat viable these days. But I also have a suggestion on trying out the 7100 GS or 6100 which is possibly the worst DX9 supporting GPU in my experience but its slightly better than the Geforce 2 mx400 card you reviewed years ago.
I bought my friend a 610 as an upgrade for his PC for 5 euros or a few pounds. Userbenchmark said it was a 30000% improvement
This is reminding me that I got through the game king kong gamers edition with hd 4350 256mb. Hd 4350 os performs as same as hd 4550 panting gasping really add the thrilled atmosphere and does not affect the hiccups. Micro stuttering only gives more realistic feelings in jugles. Os was windows 7 32bit and 2gig ram e7200 cpu. Via sound. It rock.
Dude my Laptop had double VRAM
Finally, a channel that makes me feel like that thing isn't a complete potato
I guess 8x the VRAM would make mine godly then... Yet it performs on par with a 750Ti which is just plain bad as well. :|
hey man its about time to clean up that machine at 4:00 :)))
That termal paste so good the card doesnt even warm up
just for kicks and giggles, you should do a comparo between the gt a Ti version just to see how much it does change things. Also, maybe do 2 8800gt in SLi mode VS a single Ti to see whats best :)
that city planning :d
What a true powerhouse.
I remember exactly 12 years ago, I bought a new 8800 GT with 1 GB VRAM. (Didn't think I'll ever need that much, but price was the same as the 512 at that deal).
Would have been fun to test it today with 1 GB. Should eliminate the huge FPS drops.
VRAM is really working primerely as a framebuffer in games, so when you need to acces system RAM, the latency on the platform (Card>PCIE>MB>CPU>RAM>PCIE>Card) is a lot higher then on the card itself. Hence the lags.
Man, that was the total amount of my once amd k6-400 ram.. Early 1998... Even at that time, it still stuttering badly when playing starlancer.. Windows 98 SE..
Nvidia's Riva 128, 32mb of vram..

Here you are, dropping a 256MB card video today, just where I am also currently using a 256MB card, an XFX 6600 GT AGP one, with a Pentium 4 3.2E Prescott and Windows XP, as of my birthday today in 2020.
Now I want to play SimCity becouse of you.... O.o
nice vid
I use Quadro 2000 in my "Ultimate Windows XP PC" I prefer nVidia, but their drivers newer than v285.58 start having some visual bugs in some games (texture flickering e.t.c.)(Tomb Raider III, Turok 2, Far Cry) So the most powerful GPU's supported by this driver use Fermi architecture. This PC also uses pretty weak PSU, that"s why I needed to use a card without external power connectors, and Quadro 2000 is the perfect choice - it is the most powerful Fermi without the connector! :)
Can you somehow solder bigger vram chips, and get a custom bios for the card?
11:51
that piano music part is from a game called SimCity 2013, right?!
i know it cuz i've been playing it alot these days
that music at one point seemed so familiar.... was it sim city?
very very very very very very very cool
i had that issue once where my int graphics were actually better than my card, then again i was pairing a 2014 Pentium with a 2010< gpu (and a whole 512 megs of dedicated vram!)
My favorite yt channel is budget builds official & Random gaming hd
It would be great to see a comparison between the 8800gt and the 9800gt
It makes it seems so absurd with "Only that little", but here am I with 32mb of VRAM. Thankfully I will soon get an RX570 4gb at least this year or the next one.
