My first "proper" card was a Righteous 3dfx Voodoo 1 with 4MB of memory. I'm getting old lol. EDIT: hey I found it in my old box of computer stuff lmao... along with some EDO ram and a SB16 card...
I remember being an uninformed novice around 4 years ago attempting my first pc build. I did a lot of research and this card was mentioned everywhere online as the go-to budget option. I ended up going for the 7870 instead as i managed to squeeze it into my budget which was very low, I've since upgraded to a new build with a much bigger budget but it's nice to see these cards still hanging in there!
I did not expect that card at all, the results were very impressive too 😃 Its actually very on par with my R7 360, though your HD7770 got a better performance per watt. 😅 Also I can't wait to see your next big video! 😊
i think you should try to get with random gaming in hd and do a scrap yard wars where you have a low budget and see who can build a better computer. like this so he can see it
Had one until not a few weeks ago. Served me well for well over 5 years. Upgraded to a 970 and im in a whole new world again... But having such an old card in 2018makes you appreciate medium settings
Amazing card, awesome video! I have this one but a Sapphire OC edition with 1150Mhz core stock. I loved it! It was a very good replacement of my HD4870 which a faulty psu killed a VRM. I used the HD7770 for several months even when i bought my Ryzen 1700X with 32 gigs 2666 HyperX Savage and X370 Gaming K4. After that for a short time i had hd7950 windforce by Gigabyte. Then when buying several rx580s for my miners i thought that i want to see some FreeSync and 90+ fps on my LG 34uc79g so i bought one rx580 which i currently use for around a year.
My first GPU was a XFX HD 7850 with 1 GB VRAM, I got it a year before the new consoles and it was amazing having graphics on par with the next gens a year before. I remember battlefield 3 and diablo 3 had just come out and I grabbed physical copies and was so mindblown by the graphics!
Great video, that gpu is the card i'm currently using, I've not bought any 'big' name games since I've come back to pc gaming because I was afraid it couldn't handle it. Thank you since you've shown me I don't need to upgrade the card to play the games I want to.
I began watching your videos when you had not even 800 subscribers and now there are nearly 43k. Congratulation and good luck, you're on the way to 100k :)
I got the sapphire variant of this card for my first ever PC build and it's served me well on any game I've ever wanted to play. Battlefield 4 it was flawless on medium to low, Fallout 4 it worked great again on medium to low, DOOM it was fine on low, Killing Floor 2 which is one of my favourite games works like a charm and any esports titles like CS:GO and DotA 2 work great even on high settings. The only reason I got a new PC is because I had birthday money and this card struggled with PUBG. Although I'd say a lot of that comes down to optimisation.
I totally agree with this card being the budget sweet spot. I just recently bought two of the 2gb variants pretty cheap on eBay. I have them crossfires with a Xeon 5650 overclocked to 3.8 GHz. I'm telling you that this older hardware still kicks ass.
I found a HD7770 at my local thriftshop for like 8 euro's ( around 10 pounds ) and was wondering about it's performance. So this video is very helpful and satisfying to watch! Thanks dude!
My first card Radeon HD 4850. That thing ran in the red for years with me. Then did three more years with an improvised cooler (after the screws for it broke) in my friends old gaming comp before it finally died. 2009-2016 with no brakes. What a bad a$$
i am running a card from this series, although a bit later, in main rig right now, its a msi r7950 tf and i got it for €70, also a very nice budget card
This was my first graphics card that I bought with my own money. It ended up getting me my first job working at a local computer store and life long love of computers. I just installed it in another computer and it still works great.
still run this card. in 2012 when I was building my PC i bought a 7750 as it was the best value, especially comparing to the GT640 it was competing against. after the price of the 7770 dropped i sold the 7750 and upgraded. i was planning to do crossfire (these cards worked pretty well in crossfire and was a pretty popular thing to do!) but that never happened, i ended up finding a good (*really* good) deal on a GTX590 not long after. 4 years later, in march of this year the 590 finally kicked the bucket and ol reliable 7770 comes in to save the day. great card.
I've bought the HD7770 for about $100 Canadian Dollars used back in 2015 for my very first low-budget gaming PC. Despite me recently upgrading my GPU and CPU, I still have the trusty old HD7770 on my shelves. I'm glad to see that this card is still capable of running some games quite well even in 1080p. =)
I had this in my old rig. It was amazing when I bought it new, I used it up until a year ago. Mine was the 2gb ASUS variant, I loved and still do love it
I remember wanting one of these when they came out.. But there was a lot of questions about my pc at the time. Since a cheap power supply I had went out, seemingly taking my video card with it (GTX 260) I ended up getting Radeon 6870 which worked for about 5 minutes then I got a black screen and it wouldn't show any video afterwards, until I put back the Geforce GT 430 I hastily bought along with a new power supply to just get the machine working again. I was never 100% sure if the card was faulty, or it was something more serious like my motherboard, since it did become more temperamental after the power supply, Nothing major, but it did seem to freeze more, and a few times hanging when loading windows. So rather then sinking money in to a dodgy and out of date core 2 quad machine, I just ended up saving up and building an entirely new system, by that point I ended up getting R9 280, which was a great card for the price.
The 7000 series seems to be performing really well considering how old it is. My 7870 lasted me 5 years and the only reason I had to replace it was because it died. If it didn't, I would probably keep using it till it blows up
I just picked up this card for my garage PC for $31 (canadian) and $18 shipping. I don't expect the world, but for $50 I think it'll do the job just fine, I may even look for a second so I can run them in crossfire. That being said, I would love Budget-Builds to do another video of this card in 2022, but with 2 in crossfire.
The 5770 was my first actual add in card (not counting the 5450 that came in a bundle at some point). Was super impressed by it, and the x770 series was a fantastic mid ranged offering
If you guys don't know, you can get more fps by locking anisotropic filter and anti aliassing on 2x you can also set the quality/performance to max performance.
Also my card of choice for my first "built" PC. It still works, have it in second PC that has i3, 4GB RAM (just random stuff that was left after me or my brother upgraded) and plays movies, UA-cam or Heartstone for hours every day.
tip for cleaning for cooling fins, get a can of compressed air, works awesome on gpu fins and cpu cooler fins, you were using a metal implement, that worried me lol, love the vids
Love this channel, I have a pretty good PC but since I started watching you I have wanted to build a budget PC just for the hell of it! Great video man!
In 2012 when I could first time build my own computer, it had FX-4170, 2x4GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz and this EXACT GPU :p damn it was so awesome to play BF3 with fresh build with mostly Ultra details. In a year I did buy MSI GTX 660 2GB from sale and saw a pretty huge bump in fps compared to this good ole 7770, but this card did really show me the for the first time what quality and fps I could get from good self built pc!
I can agree, ive got an APU(where the graphics card is disabled because i got a new GTX 660) with an AMD Radeon HD 7660D Worked really smoothly, 7770 would be the non dedicated version which should be pretty good too. Minecraft run really well on it before the 1.0 Release update.
I ordered one 3 weeks ago from ebay (the sapphire version wich is heavily overclocked from the factory) but my post office is painfully slow and its 3 weeks in the airport waiting to be sorted out. I cant wait to upgrade to this from my r7 240.
I have asus HD7770 2gb and its a really good card and i paid £35 for it about 8 months ago and it comes with a 2 year warranty too! plays gta v 60+fps at 1080p all day long with no issues, would recommend this it to anyone on a budget
Nice video. They’re only £15 on ebay now. And if the worst comes to the worst it will make a better door stop than 2 Parhelia’s stacked on top of each other. I might just get one of these. Thanks again for entertaining content! -Even if you made it years ago. If you see anyone in the street waving two parhelias at you, that will be me.
You should do a video comparing the effect of cleaning out GPU's. See how much more performance you loose by having a dirty card/how much performance you can gain by cleaning out the heatsink and replacing the thermal paste?
Held up surprisingly well for a 1GB card. I always went middle of the road with my ATI/AMD HD cards. 4850, 6850 and finally the 7850. Never had a bad word to say about any of them. I did buy the 5770 when that generation came along , unfortunately my Vapor-X version ran as hot as hell.
I'm still using this card today. Not exactly the same but I have XFX HD7770. It is still kinda alright, just don't expect 60 fps in new games, but it is still useable. For example, I tried running Doom on it, and it was stuttering all over the place, from 80 fps, dropping to 20-30 all the time. I would really only recommend it today if you really, really need it, or just want to play a bit older games and esports titles. What I really see as a limitation is only 1GB of VRAM.
Still got a R7 250X around, which is basically the same card rebranded. It's a HiS Model and runs happily with 1120 MHz Core and 1337 MHz mem (see what I did there) Although it has not much use to me today, it is still a nice card that I like keeping around.
The fact that this performs way better than my rig makes me rethink my choices when buying these parts. An i7-7700HQ, 2.8GHz stock speed, a GTX1050 Ti 4GB version with 8GB of DDR4 RAM. Games like GTA V or Witcher 3 never make it to the 30FPS mark no matter how low I turned down the settings.
I have a laptop with the same specs and have no problem running even mafia 3 and Watch Dogs 2 (low /medium of course) above 30 fps at 1080p. Don't know the problem with your system.
AFanOfAction™ You're probably on integerated graphics. I have similar specs but with a 1050 instead of 1050 ti and I can run gta 5 with most settings on very high and can get a locked 60 fps.
at the time I bought my first GPU from the 7000's I bought a 7870, i still have that card today and use the system its in to play tons of older titles.
I love how ASUS called their budget-saving cheapass "heat pipes directly contact with the DIE itself" DirectCU technology. Still makes my day every time i'm watching it.
i have been waiting for someone to do a 2017 review of this card, though mine was a 6770 with the identical cooler design(7770 is pretty much a rebrand of 6770) and i bought it way back 2014 and right now even though i already upgraded i gave my old build to my younger brother and so far even today this thing has been ripping through anything @720p mid to high! very happy with this card and of course this review!
I still have my original HD 5770. I should take it back out of the box someday and fiddle around with it. Same goes for the old GTX 260 I have. As for your statement about the 7770 being a rebadged 5770. That is not true because my 5770 doesn't have GCN support on it. That didn't show up until the 7000 series of cards. Plus anything older than an HD 7000 card I don't think I could use Wattman because AMD stopped supporting the older cards. Which sucks, but oh well, can't support something forever. :)
good one. I bought a used 7790 for 45€ used last year and flashed it to an R7 260X for e-peen reasons. Still I was surprised getting 100-120fps on 768p in Overwatch with high textures-
I picked up my 550ti for $34, which yes, is more than this card, but I can get up to 300+FPS with Shaders on Minecraft with it. Also have yet to see any screen shearing while playing Borderlands 2, while recording with OBS at the same time. Speaking of Shaders, I'll recommend the BBEPC Shaders, since they don't turn everything black in the nighttime, and so far has been the only one without that high contrast between light and dark areas.
I use one HD7770 sine decmber of 2012, all i can say that this card is amazing. I mean it's not an extreme gaming card, but hey, you can still run modrn games i mid-low settings and it make a nice ~60 fps. I use it lately with 3 monitors set up in eyefinity, all i can say ts stable as hell. Never tried to overclock it.
You should do a video on the GTX 550 TI. I still use it and I can still run Arma 3 on high, ARK, BF4 with no problems with all games on high or medium settings. It can even run COD WWII but since it's so terribly optimized there's framerate problems here and there. They're cheaper now so you should check them out.
My first "proper" card was a Righteous 3dfx Voodoo 1 with 4MB of memory. I'm getting old lol. EDIT: hey I found it in my old box of computer stuff lmao... along with some EDO ram and a SB16 card...
I found my parents‘ geforce 256
Reminds me of my first GPU, the 2GB HD6670.
+32megabytes: Ive never tried one of those... I may have to at some point.
+Budget-Builds Official my 1gb hd 6670 can run some pretty new games so I am definitely curious about the 2gb versions capabilities.
Bhume: I shall see what I can do
Same lol
mine was AMD ATI Radeon X1650 Pro 512MB AGP for my Emachine
I remember being an uninformed novice around 4 years ago attempting my first pc build. I did a lot of research and this card was mentioned everywhere online as the go-to budget option.

I did not expect that card at all, the results were very impressive too 😃 Its actually very on par with my R7 360, though your HD7770 got a better performance per watt. 😅
Also I can't wait to see your next big video! 😊
A R7 360 is pretty much a 7790 rebrand.
Ayeee I got a r7 360 too
Hey dude! I was just talking to you on discord lol
what is his twitter/discord?
@@GrockleTD vid. Discription.
Pretty awesome performance for the money.
UKVamp Undead yet it's not even close to this price
canaconn23 this is preown value, i picked mine up for 23$ on ebay a few weeks back
360p for days boiiii
I gotta love this view ♥ 0:20
Also the Graphics card is Ultra decent for gaming, And what a very good price.
Yep, great card for the money
nice rainbow reference
Great video!
Tip: Some kerosene makes removing old thermal paste easier, it won't smell like roses but it gets the job done.
i think you should try to get with random gaming in hd and do a scrap yard wars where you have a low budget and see who can build a better computer. like this so he can see it
Tobin Elliott he isn't Linus tech tips
that would not be original but I want to see it
Cool. Had one of these bad boys back in the day lmao
Its an amazing card even today, i'm glad I owned one.
I have it till now... Its not amazing XD
It runs most games I play 50 fps and higher, this includes dayz, csgo, overwatch, and pubg (though pubg is rough, 720p mostly 40 to 50 fps)
You should do a budget PC build off with RandomGaminginHD! :D
AV2893 he already did if I recall correctly :)
+Claude Kenny nope he didn't, he did a showdown with TechThrowdown
Watching the GPU getting cleaned is satisfying
I still have an HD7970 (bought it at 300€ IIRC) and it's still amazing today with most games.
i wouldn't be surprise if cards like this are back at their release price now
Had one until not a few weeks ago. Served me well for well over 5 years. Upgraded to a 970 and im in a whole new world again...
But having such an old card in 2018makes you appreciate medium settings
Amazing card, awesome video! I have this one but a Sapphire OC edition with 1150Mhz core stock. I loved it! It was a very good replacement of my HD4870 which a faulty psu killed a VRM. I used the HD7770 for several months even when i bought my Ryzen 1700X with 32 gigs 2666 HyperX Savage and X370 Gaming K4. After that for a short time i had hd7950 windforce by Gigabyte. Then when buying several rx580s for my miners i thought that i want to see some FreeSync and 90+ fps on my LG 34uc79g so i bought one rx580 which i currently use for around a year.
I'm loving all the UK tech channels appearing, it's great
My first GPU was a XFX HD 7850 with 1 GB VRAM, I got it a year before the new consoles and it was amazing having graphics on par with the next gens a year before. I remember battlefield 3 and diablo 3 had just come out and I grabbed physical copies and was so mindblown by the graphics!
Why is watching someone cleaning a graphics card so satisfying?
Joshua Metzner because if he fucks it up by scrubbing too hard, we're not responsible.
Good binge watch budget hardware channel... tend to end up watching a few on autoplay after an upload.
Love old hardware
Great video, that gpu is the card i'm currently using, I've not bought any 'big' name games since I've come back to pc gaming because I was afraid it couldn't handle it. Thank you since you've shown me I don't need to upgrade the card to play the games I want to.
I began watching your videos when you had not even 800 subscribers and now there are nearly 43k. Congratulation and good luck, you're on the way to 100k :)
Anastasius Roadstar: Cheers man glad your still enjoying it.
I got the sapphire variant of this card for my first ever PC build and it's served me well on any game I've ever wanted to play.

The only reason I got a new PC is because I had birthday money and this card struggled with PUBG. Although I'd say a lot of that comes down to optimisation.
I totally agree with this card being the budget sweet spot. I just recently bought two of the 2gb variants pretty cheap on eBay. I have them crossfires with a Xeon 5650 overclocked to 3.8 GHz. I'm telling you that this older hardware still kicks ass.
I live for graphics card maintenance footage and old graphics cards. Good job on this one 👍
Made me giz my self from the title alone
get out of here kid
Davidog69 right lmao
I found a HD7770 at my local thriftshop for like 8 euro's ( around 10 pounds ) and was wondering about it's performance.
So this video is very helpful and satisfying to watch! Thanks dude!
+Tjip Tjoerie: Hope it helped, its a great card
Damn, DirectX12 for $30?? And this graphics card is still amazing today!
My first card Radeon HD 4850. That thing ran in the red for years with me. Then did three more years with an improvised cooler (after the screws for it broke) in my friends old gaming comp before it finally died. 2009-2016 with no brakes. What a bad a$$
but can it run... age of empires
Megabyte Gamer can it run plant vs zombies tho?
Confirmed running like ass with 5 frames per second, especially on AOEII.
You get it? Because it runs in ~5 FPS.
I remember having a HD5970, it was quite the powerhouse back in the day as well!
i've had the same card but with 2g of vram for about 4-5 years. It served me really well
Here in Brazil the 7770 is still sold for $70 used and $152 new, believe it or not
Same thing happened in Ukraine
LOL @ your badass walk while you were strutting away from putting your GPU on the roof! Smart way to dry things off quickly haha
i am running a card from this series, although a bit later, in main rig right now, its a msi r7950 tf and i got it for €70, also a very nice budget card
Man I remember when you just only had 5000 subs and now you have went up to 50000. Good job man
This was my first graphics card that I bought with my own money. It ended up getting me my first job working at a local computer store and life long love of computers. I just installed it in another computer and it still works great.

I was literally taken aback by how well it preformed once you went on the first GTA benchmark

Worked really smoothly, 7770 would be the non dedicated version which should be pretty good too.

Your videos be getting better and better :-) Great work!
unfortunately can't any at 20 pounds shipped to my country :( .. cheapest is around 70USD no shipping

good work!
these budget build videos are totally cool!

Did it make water VAPOR?
Omg i have that same hd 7770 in my main pc, Sasha. I gotta admit, I LOVE THAT CARD❤️❤️❤️
I really like the aesthetic of this card. :) Simple, yet elegant.

I have a laptop with the same specs and have no problem running even mafia 3 and Watch Dogs 2 (low /medium of course) above 30 fps at 1080p. Don't know the problem with your system.
Dude did you Plug The HDMI or DV-I into the Motherboard you are supposed to plug it into The Video Card /fp
You are probably using the integrated graphics or something, there is no way you should be having those issues.
AFanOfAction™ You're probably on integerated graphics. I have similar specs but with a 1050 instead of 1050 ti and I can run gta 5 with most settings on very high and can get a locked 60 fps.

Im getting old my first card was a Voodoo 3 lol. most memorable card was a 9800 Pro 256Meg. it was so expensive to me at the time. Good old days!
I love how ASUS called their budget-saving cheapass "heat pipes directly contact with the DIE itself" DirectCU technology. Still makes my day every time i'm watching it.
Omg cause of you I'm going to build my first custom PC thank you so much
Gtagamingcz: Good luck with it man, im sure it will go well.
Budget-Builds Official Thanks :) i have enough of my laptop it has only 1. 86 GHz CPU that i overclocked to 2ghz definitely going to use this card
As I said on the discord server can you do a review on the Radeon HD 4850?
I managed to get mine for $3
+FreddysBand87; Got one for £4, review on the way

Thanks dude BTW my discord is Gran Turismo Geek
I just see you commenting on all my favourite videos. (Kliksphilip, rginhd, 32megabytes and more)
damn, i remember when i bought my first graphics card. It was a sapphire 5670, and it still works in my backup pc.
i have been waiting for someone to do a 2017 review of this card, though mine was a 6770 with the identical cooler design(7770 is pretty much a rebrand of 6770) and i bought it way back 2014 and right now even though i already upgraded i gave my old build to my younger brother and so far even today this thing has been ripping through anything @720p mid to high! very happy with this card and of course this review!
The HD6770 was a rebrand of the HD5770, this card is based on the newer GCN Architecture, however I will review the HD6770 should I find one.
oh ok sorry, what was the performance difference between a 7770 and a 6770? YES PLEASE DO A 6770 REVIEW!
this is better than my current GPU. goddamn I should upgrade.
Running one on my i7 920 since about 2014, after my original card crapped out. It was about $100 U.S. when I got it
I still have my original HD 5770. I should take it back out of the box someday and fiddle around with it. Same goes for the old GTX 260 I have. As for your statement about the 7770 being a rebadged 5770. That is not true because my 5770 doesn't have GCN support on it. That didn't show up until the 7000 series of cards. Plus anything older than an HD 7000 card I don't think I could use Wattman because AMD stopped supporting the older cards. Which sucks, but oh well, can't support something forever. :)
My first GPU was the Fx 5200 128mb
then a Gtx 6600, then a GTX 8600, then a 6790, then a HD 7970, then a R9 290X and now a GTX 1070
Use pure alcohol for cleaning of Thermal Paste. It's clean in 2 seconds.
This was my first gpu i bought, paired with amd phenom II x965 black edition back in 2013
Still using this with a 7700k until my new gpu arrives
Can I get your old card? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Bro make more videos like THIS one. we need an old gpu reincarnation for 2017
This card actually aged real well as time went on...still pretty good for today especially for the 2GB GDDR5 model.
Had the 7790, was a great card. Later it got rebranded as the R7 260x so it has full driver updates and support :))
good one. I bought a used 7790 for 45€ used last year and flashed it to an R7 260X for e-peen reasons. Still I was surprised getting 100-120fps on 768p in Overwatch with high textures-
I picked up my 550ti for $34, which yes, is more than this card, but I can get up to 300+FPS with Shaders on Minecraft with it. Also have yet to see any screen shearing while playing Borderlands 2, while recording with OBS at the same time. Speaking of Shaders, I'll recommend the BBEPC Shaders, since they don't turn everything black in the nighttime, and so far has been the only one without that high contrast between light and dark areas.
+Ace McCrank: Trust me.this card is better than a GTX550Ti. However not bad.
I use one HD7770 sine decmber of 2012, all i can say that this card is amazing. I mean it's not an extreme gaming card, but hey, you can still run modrn games i mid-low settings and it make a nice ~60 fps. I use it lately with 3 monitors set up in eyefinity, all i can say ts stable as hell. Never tried to overclock it.
Can you review the GTX 720?
WHAT THE HELL I was saying to myself "I bet it's a 7770" because I had one in my first PC build. When you said it I felt like a genius.
Pulse/Krilium: Seems to be everyone that chose one made the right choice.
Have a Radeon HD 7970m in my Alienware laptop, works great and a Radeon HD 7970 desktop would be a recommendation for a budget gaming computer
You should do a video on the GTX 550 TI. I still use it and I can still run Arma 3 on high, ARK, BF4 with no problems with all games on high or medium settings. It can even run COD WWII but since it's so terribly optimized there's framerate problems here and there. They're cheaper now so you should check them out.
Nice vid. Not every PC, some OEMs only give 30W through the PICe
true budget= pound land cleaning kit haha! keep up the great videos!
