- Today we're unboxing a magical GPU from ASUS. Why is is magic? Well I'm still not sure, but it certainly made my smooth frame rate disappear!
Thanks for watching :)

Those dust tornados are called “dust devils” here in the Mojave. Sometimes they can get pretty big and ruin your carefully arranged lawn chairs.
That’s the word I was looking for haha
They also make me wish for a nuclear winter.

The good old days when Crysis was on its way and little did we know a 13 year old meme was in the making.
in apr 2007, still Oblivion and Stalker was big deal.
Crysis is an absolute masterpiece
@@warrax111 Stalker needed some real heavylifting back in the day
But does it play music or not? :D
It should just like the others u own
Hay, I watch you!
New meme: but can it run music?
Hello
I’m your subscriber
imagine being the graphics card. Never opened, thinking that this is your time to shine and give someone good memories and good graphics, just to come to the realization that your time was over before it even began.
Bro I'm sad now, that's how I feel as a gamer
Damn bro, your imagination is right in the feels.
Oof. That's a bit sad.
Hit me right in the heart
ah yes, back when putting anime girls on your gpu immediately made it a gaming machine
I miss those days of illustrations on the GPU shrouds. Much better than the cooler designs of today.
Juan Ignacio Aschura the older agp cards all had that, back when the pcb was red or blue too. Very early PCMR!
There really new how to market to gamers back then sees hot girls on box he have all my money XD
Ranger Danger I do miss the awesome boxes though, packaging is so boring now haha
Palit has some interesting box designs, I remember my Palit 9500GT having a robotic frog on the box lol
4:08 the RGB back then din't even need electricity. ;)
was just scrolling the comments to see if anyone else was thinking what i was thinking
Ikr😂😂
@@MrOrangeSmash same with me
lol
Yeah, too bad today hologram stickers need electricity.
3:38 you can see his hand shaking he definitely was waiting 13 years
Hhahaha, spot on bruv
He might have essential tremor
Just overclock it a little and it can be a competition to the rtx 3090.
Utmost Best Greatest Joke 2020
Are you kidding me this thing is 13 year old older than most kids
this card wasn't that great anyway even back in 2007.
Probably beat it actually 😂
@@kings2020 At least older than 12 year old kids.. ;)
Hey man, just wanted to thank you for the videos. Your content has made me a lot more budget minded PC-wise.
Recently my girlfriend was looking to buy a new laptop, but I talked her out of it and made a parts list that even managed to cut below her intended budget for a new PC. We're gonna build it together (I'll try to teach her how to do it) and I believe it will be very fun.
I wouldn't have come up with such a nice budget build if it weren't for your videos, so thanks man.
No one needs a 512mb graphics card.
- Me, 17 years ago.
what the fuck do i even do with 2gb of vram?
-Me 8 years ago
Remember in 04/05 when we thought single cores were all we needed?
I remember spending a whopping £150 to get the 1gb ram en9800gt for future proofing...
@@mongocom1735 they plan for 20gb coming out....
@@campkira I thought the 3090 already had about 30GB?
Opening an old gpu that has never been opened just has a weird nice feeling.
You are opening a brand new (read Unopened) item. Everyone have this feeling!
The Item was made for some purpose (even if it is slower side by modern standard).
Edit: 'Unboxed' changed to 'Unopened'
Ohh I remember this one. While in uni dormitory, one friend had it in his desktop PC and it made him a celebrity. We came there to play (or at least watch) Assasins Creed 1, Elders Scrolls Oblivion (I think) and Stalker. HW was a luxury back in those days in this part of world...
Cool, which part of the world are you from?
@@isunshin999 East Europe
Stalker. Love it

All of these games run on my integrated core i3 3rd gen, intel hd 25000
“Rock Solid • Heart Touching”
😂
this needs a comeback :D
Rock Solid, wallet killing
“In search of Incredible” is not much less strange tbh
@@amyfranchuk6704 "In Search of Incredible" is WAY better. "Rock Solid - Heart Touching" always had a very "Engrish" quality to it. I believe in between they used "Inspiring Innovation, Persistent Perfection," which is sort of eh, like they were just determined to have something alliterative.
Just take me back to the 2000s fuck sakes.
Ah, back then when even the mere thought of a 1GB of video memory was mind blowing.
I remember the 256MB cards were just good enough, and when most decent cards were $200-300.
5:55
Me: Oh wow, it can run GTA 5 fine like that!?
*Few seconds later*
Me: Oh...
Still impressed 👏
I was using this GPU just 2 months ago. It died. ☹️
RIP
I'm still using a GT440, which is more or less on par with that thing, if it makes you feel any better!
the geforce 8 series was very faulty my 8800gts died in 2012
Im sorry bro hope you can upgrade
RIP
That's actually sad, seeing such a badass card missing out on gaming .. rip little one
i bet the thermal paste on that thing after 15 years is just lovely lol
This guy in 2030: hello everyone and welcome to anotha video now this is the gtx 1080ti back in the days its superior...this channel is lowkey but i still support this guy
this makes me remember all those graphic cards back then.. you know with the "I dont know who is this supposed to be" characters printed on the box..
The magic of opening up a classic graphics card that has never been opened is always great.
Good videos! Hope you do more like these
32 shaders man that's a beast i remember when you could unlock shaders on the gt6600 and turn them into gt6800s
Haha, you’re so old, that must’ve been 16 years ago! But you’ve been infected by the nvidia switcheroo with the GT, it used to go on the end back when GT actually meant something.
Also, wasn’t the unlocking for 6800’s to different 6800’s? If I remember correctly the 6600GT was a completely different GPU than the 6800GT, at that time it probably would’ve been 8 pipes for the midrange and 12 for the high end. I do remember it was possible to upgrade “standard” (no GT/GS) to GT’s for some 6000 series cards, I think the 6600LE was a good one to try. And oh man, the memory OC on some of those 6000 series was awesome! 6000 series was so awesome, especially after the failure of the 5000.
@@Lolzilol123 good old days
I wish t knew that as I owned a 6609
@@timothygibney5656 i cant remember the exact thing but you had to use rivatuner to unlock hidden cores and made a huge difference in heat output so you had to have better then stock cooling and at that time we had to get quite inventive to cool gpu's down
i also remember something not talked about much now but when AMD first started beating intel with there athlon XP chips i used to have a mobile athlon 2600+ that had unlocked multi and you could overclock that very well with good cooling.

RGHD : LLOAD THE BEAST
Nice find there. I also have a 8600gt found inside a dell inspiron 531 which i bought for about 18 american dollars. It's really quiet, but runs really hot even under a windows desktop.
My first GPU!! 🙌
Well, actually I had the 256MB VRAM version but still I have the fondest memories! This graphic card actually saved me more than 3 years ago when my newest GPU, a Radeon R9 270X, broke after 1.5 years since I first used it and I had to use some momentary replacement. And it still worked pretty much fine after 9+ years..
5:07 Awww, Asus wanted you to have the reference 8600 GT experience, so it played fan noise over the speakers instead, how thoughtful!
Harder to get hold of than the RTX 3080 😂😂
I get more enjoyment from low end and old components on this channel then cutting edge tech from other channels.
Tyler Millaway yes even I do
Ooh, this brings back memories. I had an Inno3D 8600GT back in 2008. Good old days of playing S4League, Half Life 2 episode 1 and 2.
I think the card is somewhere in my parents' home, still working. Would be fun to take it for a spin some day
4:07
Wow ASUS knew that RGB improves the performance by ten folds, they're way ahead of their time
If you get a driver install issue when using drivers made for old windows os. Try installing the driver in compatibility mode for windows xp sp3 for example.
It was in this period that I learned to choose video cards. Cards with GDDR2 tend to feature more video memory than their GDDR3 counterparts, but also run slower.
That mid 2000s design. You're making me feel old!
Retro PC tech has always interested me.
This channel is the UA-cam equivalent of St Jude - the patron saint of lost causes. I love it.
Seeing those good ol' GPU box art once again is *heart touching*
it hit me right in the kokoro
It's a holy artifact called G.E.C.K.
Any graphic design on packaging and gpu's from the 00's, actually looks like its from the 90's
Hey RandomGaminginHD, love the vids. Follow up coming for the sandybridge overclocked comparison? Request for side by side benchmarks for realtime results, love from NY. ❤️
P.S. shave the pre pubescent beard, thx
I owned a 8600 GT, it was bought brand new by my sister, and later on she gave me her pc, because she was getting a new one. I must say, my childhood was powered by this card, titles like nfs most wanted, or even call of duty modern warfare had no trouble running on this hardware, and this is why I remember it so well. It was also the first card that I tried to OC, and failed miserably, because I didn't know much about it when I was young. Turns out running your card at +500Mhz to the core wasn't the best idea, oh well, had fun so no regrets
6:48 This is legitimately what it feels like playing online on ps4
I am waiting for the ps5 😭
@@thealien_ali3382 same, but lololol I can't afford it, I'm gonna have to wait about 2 years
Playing Online shouldn't really do that by itself.
@@jessesmith4044 sell one of your kidneys, you won't wanna be alive in the next 10 years.
Here is to hoping next gen consoles can play last gen consoles games with a decent frame rate online, because current gen consoles certainly cant.
Imagine being that graphics card, being run for the very first time only to get smacked with a freight train of future shock.
Bruh, who needs RGB lighting when you have a pearlescent finish on your fan that does it for you. That was actually pretty cool
I am using an 8600GT in my computer to watch this since it was the emergency card I kept when my 650 quit. Naturally I cannot even look at my BIOS to check that other parts are set correctly, so the fact that I can get my PC to read the correct drive is a blessing. My games are not even installed because none of them will even load with this card. EDIT: I just realized it's an Asus too. So for all I know it was labeled Magic! Mine does have GDDR3 though.
I really like ur jokes from time to time. U don't need to feel sorry for saying them that's what makes ur channel great to watch
It was not a sealed box but just a few PC builds ago I wanted to test a new build before ordering a new GPU but my older HD7950 died. So I dug into my closet of old PC parts and found an ATI Rage 32. The board had a legacy PCI so I checked to see if it could install windows and even make it to desktop. It most certainly did, in glorious 16 color mode. I did not test it out by trying to run old or new benchmarks but I was just stunned it still worked at all.
That was an intense unboxing moment for a 13yr old card, I just stopped eating me breakfast and watched excitedly lol. Also,
noice puns
I still actually run one of these paired with an Optiplex 780 Core2Duo E8500 machine. Pretty much using it as an on-demand video storage server and sometimes running Windows 7 specific apps these days. I did game on it for the lulz in the past. Although it never was my main rig, but much later "thrash to treasure" finding from work. The card is an MSI DDR3-variant, but with only 256MB of VRAM. Passive cooled though with a beefy heatsink, stays at pretty tolerable temps.
When I was in high school, I actually had a Pentium 4 540J Prescott system (later got an Athlon64 X2 dualcore upgrade), paired with another MSI 8600GT, can't remember if it was DDR2 or DDR3 but 256 megs too I'm pretty sure and active cooling. We also bought a few of those NEW with my school friends to use at school, since we had a gaming space arranged to our locker room with old hardware bought cheaply from the Internet and "borrowed" from school (mostly Athlon64/AthlonXP stuff, but also some Athlon X2 machines with PCI-E). The reason for buying those cards new was that they sold those online for 38 euros or something like that. It was a decent little card for the time with a tiny cooler but not too noisy and didn't overheat, MSI did a great job on it. Much better gaming experience still than some integrated chipset stuff or AGP systems we had.
Performance was what it was, but personally I bought one for myself so my Pentium 4 rig could decode HD video with GPU, I think 8x00-series was the first to have ability to decode stuff with GPU. Still have that card inside of some older computer at the basement, and my friend uses one of the cards he acquired when the school ended to test suspicious systems with shady PSU:s and such. Still modern enough card to test other functions and does not take a lot of power.
Didn't really enjoyed some latest videos, but this one is fantastic. Exactly why I subscribed to the channel!
That bag opening...why does sound with no static sound so satisfying? Wow!
I remeber seeing all those wonderfully rendered characters on videocards boxes when I was a kid and my brother worked in a tech shop, man I was so fascinated, in particular the Hercules brand with all those cool box designs
If you have one, and if not track down one, take the 8600GTS for a spin in modern games. Had these in SLI. Great at the time.
I remember back in 2007 when my dad bought a prebuillt mid-lvl media pc and i desperately tried to run my all time favorite game Test Drive Unlimited (which was pretty new at the time) but couldn´t get further than the starting screen because of the weak 128mb integrated graphicscard. I went to a very small pc shop in the next village and showed the owner the required system specs to run TDU, which was atleast a 6600GT with 256mb if i remember correctly. So he ordered a Gigabyte 8600 GT 512mb with a passive cooler for me. I was so excited and happy when i got my pc back after some days and was finally able to play TDU. So, as far as im concerned the 8600 GT is alright eventough it´s not the most powerful card. Even back in the days. But i have some nice memories connected with this card. So thanks RGinHD for making a video about the 8600 GT :)
Gotta love the artstyle on the old graphics card boxes.
"Superior Cooling Efficiency"
I had this exact same GPU in my prebuilt system from 2008. It died some time in 2015, but until then it did its job like a champ. I was able to run some new-ish games at all low settings, and as a kid I was more than content with that.
OMG! I paid $400 US for my 6800GT when they came out, 100 fps in TeamFortessClassic was pure Heaven.
I remember the first ever card that I used in my home PC. It was a 8500GT with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ and 4GB DDR2.
So good memories playing MapleStory, Grand Chase and Perfect World... All of my friends impressed because I was the only child able to play those games at 60fps before 2008 hahaha.
If u are not subscribed to this masterpiece tech channel. Doggo will find u and steal your fridge👹
I had the exact same model in 2008. Nostalgic!

It's nice to see a graphics card of this era without dust caked between the cooling fins
I saw a similar one on eBay, but it read Nvidia gtx 3090 with a pricing of 90$

Nivida 8600 GT: *SCREAMING*
I had same card but "silent" version by Asus. Worked so well for almost a decade before ending up on attic and failing due to corrosion.
Dude I love this kind of content! Im entertained! Thank you!!
I still have this exact 8600GT from Asus back in 2008. Just stumbled upon it last weekend, made me want to try it in 2020. But then I remembered why I replaced it after 5 years: it developed a green line on screen, and then displayed wrong colour the next week, and finally dying altogether after a month. Throughout my 25 years of building computers, this and the TNT RIVA2 were the only 2 that eventually failed on me.
5:56 best joke ever lol it got me somehow idk why
I remember a cybercafe fit all their PCs with the 8600 series. It was good enough for decent gaming. Monitors were not full HDs, and most of the patrons were school kids playing warcraft dota and cs 1.6.

Nice Video,thanks for remember this one 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍nice Greets Frank, Germany
Just think in 13 years time someone is going to look back at the 3090 with disgust at its measly 24 GB of memory and wonder how could they think this was impressive. I remember buying my first decent graphics card, the Riva TNT with 32 MB graphics memory and thinking how will I ever use all this power. The rate at which technology advances is truly a wondrous thing.
i had 9600Gso from Asus in 2009 , it's great for it's time. lt could run crysis in playable graphic and FPS .
Why you are in school uniform
ayy this was the graphics card I had in my first all new pc. I got it after I ran an old family computer gateway into the ground playing such demanding titles as "Battle for Middle Earth II" and "Command & Conquer 3". Literally, I played those games until the computer would overheat and shut itself off, I had no idea what was happening at the time.
This bad boy could run L4D on a mix of medium settings at a decent framerate, as long as you kept your flashlight off. What a time
I just noticed you have the same speakers as I do. Another solution to feedback is If you put them on their own usb power supply. It should eliminate unwanted noise.
The first game I played with my brand new 8600GT was Clive Barker's Jericho. It was still around the beginning of the 7th gen of consoles, and my 6600GT were starting to really struggle.
Remember when every Asus video card had some picture of a dude in a horse in it? Those were strange times.
I remember when GPU boxes looked like this... back even when Software Etc and Babbages (pre GameStop) had shelves full of these types of cards.
I have one in my cupboard for super emergency backup video card. Saved me a few times over the years with trouble shooting.
amazing mint-in-the-box find!
I have an FX 5500 PCI that is unused, but that I recently unboxed. Got it for 1 dollar at my local flea market. It has 128mb of ddr1 and was released in 2004. Lemme know if you’re interested and I might be able to send it to you for a review and benchmarking.
This was my first gpu, I bought an XFX special edition with 1gig of vram which I thought it was insane at the time. Oh the good times.
heart touching?? Truly a masterpiece of marketing
what you dont know about this kind of cards is, you can aktivate core and lane's with software to increase grafikpower
The fact that you also released an 13 years old air :)
What you heard in the speakers was the actual card cursing for sitting a decade
