ATI's "Platinum" Powerhouse | The Fastest Graphics Card of 2004

[@wm505gaming4]

my school has one of these on display in the IT department. Its labelled as "Advanced Graphics Card with dedicated Cooler."

[@f.d.3273]

Atleast your school owns some GPUs :p

[@wm505gaming4]

+Ahmad Saghier Is it though? If he got it for $7 I'd think it wasn't that rare.

[@sumitupadhayay2270]

Just wow!!!! Back in 2004 1080p was not even a mainstream things and this thing does 60+ fps on ultra settings on this resoulution. No wonder people were going mad for this thing back in the day.

[@joselemusjr6451]

Sumit Upadhayay yup i think 1600x1200 was the rez.

[@inverz6102]

Sumit Upadhayay You're right! It's AMAZAING!

[@ramdrivesys1869]

DoubleBubble28 Lol no, I had a 20 inch CRT that could do 1600x1200 max.

[@ramdrivesys1869]

+DoubleBubble28 Early LCD monitors sucked compared to high quality CRTs. Carmack had a 1600x1200 CRT in 1997. LCD has fixed pixels, a CRT just had to be made with a good electron gun, phosphor screen and high dot pitch to support a high resolution.

[@R_.709]

No you don't know anything 8k was out in to the 1990s And people played at 1080p in 2009

@@RandomGaminginHD Alright 5 years later I can't help but beg the question, how is that going? Have you collected enough, is there a display already? Maybe future video idea here.

[@SpeedyMarioPony75]

Windows 7 killed the 2gb ram, you should use XP for 2000's cards

[@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis]

EspidiHuevos, or just use more RAM if the system is 64-bit capable, since DDR2 and 3 RAM is so cheap these days anyway.

[@R_.709]

[@smallmoneysalvia]

I had an x800gto2 reflashed to an x850XT PE back in the day. I literally downloaded shaders. Loved that card, 35% over clock got it flying. 5900 in 3dmark05!

[@cashraccs]

Did you download the latest patch for GTA 4 that rockstar released recently because that patch optimises the game REAL good like 24+ FPS for me

[@RandomGaminginHD]

Shad0wWalker yeah 1.08 I think? made sure it was updated before :)

[@xx7543]

lol that patch didnt do jack shit for me

[@RodrigoGomes-ek2ft]

Make a video about the legendary Nvidia 4400Ti or 4600Ti!

[@LuanRNunes-zb9pg]

Rodrigo Gomes Up

[@GraveUypo]

yeah, i had that first one. i consider it by far and away the worst gpu i've ever owned. overpriced as fuck, outdated at launch (this shit wouldn't run battlefield 2 when a radeon 8500, a card from the previous gen, would) and got steamrolled so hard by every one of ATI's 9xxx series it's not even funny. my brother's 9500pro he bought 6 months later was about half as expensive and twice as fast in most demanding games. my fucking 4800ti was only faster in outdated dx7 games. FUCK THAT CARD. the only nvidia 4000 series card worth the money was the 4200ti

[@joeygreathouse3029]

4200Ti 128MB was the sweet spot - the others were too expensive to be worth the slight performance increase

[@joeygreathouse3029]

Heck yeah, I remember getting the 128MB version of the 4200ti on sale, for the same price as a 4400 at the time Made Morrowind run much better at 1280x1024

[@keylock32]

4200Ti is the legendary, almost $100 less than 4600 and easily ocable to 4400/4600 performance.

[@tommarnk]

nice blast from the past video, keep them coming :)

[@anthbobo2783]

I remember how pissed people were because it didn't support shader model 3.

[@Cathode_Days]

Used my student loan to grab one of these in 2004. HL2 and CSS all night every night.

[@AKman231]

Same here!!!

[@keyboarding5593]

But can it run Minecraft? (Legitimate question not a meme)

[@astrotechstudios228]

Not as fast as a Windows 95 machine

[@MystPlazma]

Keyboarding thats more cpu intensive and not gpu

[@DragonProtector]

i ran minecraft on 64 mb card and geforce 6200

[@CooperThief]

anikanbounty97 BS Minecraft 1.8 - Present need a full 128mb of video memory and 4gbs of ram that are not shown here

[@DragonProtector]

Nope ran smooth on a 512mb agp GeForce 6200 on multiplayer lan mode lol 2gb of rambus ram. Dell dimensions 8200 desktop upgraed. Also ran skyrim smoothly with mods to help performance.

[@AVINIDE]

2:51 is this the pre-2007 version of the HL2? Models look less detailed

[@ABaumstumpf]

For this kind of card i would really like a comparison to modern iGPUs.

[@DragonProtector]

ikr

[@davidburke4101]

Even the igpu's have already left this card in the dust. Today's intel igpu is equivalent to comparing a gtx 1080 to a gt 210

[@kajokiko]

My 6500 onboard graphics could run GTA 5 low settings 720p while I was waiting for my GPU

[@Psythik]

My i5-4670K's IGPU could run Overwatch on Low and maintain 60 FPS (and that's a 3-year-old CPU). I doubt a 13-year-old GPU could pull it off.

[@azminek7154]

The card itself in raw power should be around the better Sandy Bridge IGPs, but without SM3.0 and Direcx 10 support.

[@GTFour]

I used to X800 or 850 pro/XT (I don't recall specifically) with a Arctic Cooling double slot rear exhaust power cooler thingy and it played Farcry like a bossss :D

[@D347h54rg3n7]

Exhale when trying to hold things still for the camera, your hands won't shake as much

[@RandomGaminginHD]

PyotrOnline haha I usually stabilize the shot but it was messing up the rendering

[@Mini-z1994]

You should give the last generation direct x 9 cards a go as well. (On the higher end side ofc not something like the last 512 mb graphics card video :P) GTX 7900 if you can find one along with ATI X1950 pro or GTX 7800 & X1900 from ATI (be wary of one thing though, the ram chips on ati cards of this era (early gddr3 or 4 i believe ?) doesn't like heat too much so make sure to either put on heatsinks on exposed ones or aim a fan at the card.) if you can find one with a third party cooler it probably has enough cooling on the vrm's & memory while the reference doesnt have the best cooling on that part. Got a gtx 7800 256 mb here myself & keeping it ofc heh its a nice reference card from a sort of forgotten era of cards on an api that was well used at that point. But no decent powersupply to make use of it in other then my main rig. Id love to pair it up with the asus p5vdc-x motherboard + pentium 4 660 + 1 gb ram i got here for 3dmark 03 to 06 benchmarking. (Currently a radeon 2400 pro with a slow fan on it. (Stock one was super loud for no reason & with this slow fan it keeps itself at 39c no matter what load i put on it & no matter how long heh.) Runs passively up to 71c when i tested without the fan but the cpu cooler is louder then the card itself so might as well cool it down.

[@Afn3u13u]

Thanks for the tip i just got into photography!

[@mcwopplays3935]

I have to say this one thing, i love your channel. I am a huge fan of green ham gaming but unfortunately he just doesnt have enough content which is why i love your channel. so thank you and keep uploading!!!

[@gordoneuomolibero363]

Despite this card was the fastest in 2004, sadly it's not able to run a PC game came out just 4 years later (indeed, 26 fps everything low is not even close to be playable) ... but nowdays with a medium card of 2012 like the GTX660 you can play a game like BF1 with everything betweem low and medium at 50-55 fps. Am I the only one who thinks this is actually amazing?

[@gordoneuomolibero363]

***** I can figure out it, with an integrated GPU generally is not possible to play any game smoothly expecially open world games like GTAs ... plus usually laptop processor versions are less powerful than desktop solutions

[@LexDashP]

Gordone Uomolibero your actually right.....It's called "Moore's Law"

[@gordoneuomolibero363]

I'm going to read something about, thank you!

[@moriart13]

No its not, dis is due to consoles

[@gordoneuomolibero363]

moriart13 On a console you can get a better optimization so it's out of question, plus the X800XT version plugged into Xbox 360 could use 512MB GDDR3 Ram instead 256

[@Heru3005]

I remember having the All-in-wonder version of this card back in the day and it was an absolute monster. Spent many a day playing Battlefield 2, EverQuest 2, and TES4: Oblivion on it. Good times.

Wow you're so rich You probably use a rtx graphics card now Or if you're amd fanboy You use rx 69

I played the first Bioshock on a X850XT.

[@Twiggy163]

While I have a nice pc, these videos with older and, now, very cheap hardware are great! Please keep making them, I've subbed.

[@segaboy9894]

So you can't play a 2008 title on your top-tier 2004 video card? Everything was looking great until GTA IV was shown.

[@shebeski]

He keeps saying GTA4 was badly optimized, but it's more a product of the limitations of DX9 under CPU demanding scenarios. Given the API the game runs great. GTA5 is an example of what a new API can do.

[@MartinDimitrov0]

Yes indeed.Some of the higher end older gpus run gta 5 better than gta 4(no joke here).

[@DragonProtector]

$2 ps2 game I bought couldnt even play on my ps2 emulator directx 11 m7820 gpu laptop now got desktop direct x 12 gpu amd rx460 and it plays smoothly now

[@Corthmic]

+anikanbounty97 That's because PS2 emulators are actually more demanding than people expect.

[@azminek7154]

It also can't run anything built on Unreal Engine 3 since the card doesn't support SM3.0. The past 10 years was pretty convenient for PC gaming. A once high-end PC like something with an i7-870, GTX580 and 8GB RAM is still able to run modern games to some degree. Before that 5 years and your PC was absolutely obsolete trash. Just imagine a Pentium MMX 233MHz, 64MB RAM and a Matrox Millennium 2 backed by a Voodoo, both 4MB around 2001. Or a 1.5GHz Pentium 4, 512MB RAM and a 64MB Geforce2 GTS in 2006.

[@talison4634]

I'm loving your videos man ! I'm very interested on the peformace of older hardware, from back in the time i started playing on pc. Back them at 2005 i had a pentium 4 2.8 Ghz , 512 mb ddr ram and a nvidia's MX4000 and i knew my system was not top quality, but i did not knew how weak it was if compared to the best hardware.

[@TheDarkPog]

Where are you buying a week's groceries for $7.50, RGHD?

[@misterscratch7]

he was talking about the system as a whole not the gpu only....if you count the gpu, ram, mobo, cpu and case with a cheap psu the price would be around the week groceries.

[@Trainboy1EJR]

10lb bag of oatmeal is $7.50 depending on how much you can force yourself to eat every day, it will last 1-2 weeks. And trust me, you will have to force yourself to eat that plain! Add a tea spoon of pure cane sugar to each bowl if you want to survive. 1lb sugar lasts about a month. You will also need a 1-a-day multi vitamin if you want to live. So yes, $7.50 for a week of "groceries" is possible. But not sustainable past 2 months unless you are morbidly obese.

[@joeyhillers9460]

Literally cheap soda and a lot of ramen

[@MattisProbably]

I remember this card! It was the holy nerd grail on the schoolyard, we all wanted to have one! Someone I knew had an X800 type card with all the pixel pipelines available but deactivated so when he tried to flash the X800 Platinum bios he essentially turned it into the Platinum card. Such great times

[@CaptainTriton]

Doom 3 better optimized for Nvidia cards, funny how the tables have turned XD.

[@GraveUypo]

it's more like "ati has always sucked at open gl". that still stands.

[@azminek7154]

I remember that Doom 3 was demonstrated with the R300 before it released, so the statement that it was optimized for NV was probably as wrong as claiming it's hard to find drivers for the X800. Then again, Far Cry also ran better on ATI cards until Nvidia pressured Crytek to patch it so it'll run worse.

[@raresmacovei8382]

GraveUypo Back in the day, GeForce 5 sucked at ALL APIs vs Pixel Shader 2.0 ATI 9000 series.

[@ArturBernardoMallmann]

@@raresmacovei8382 i had 2 Radeon 9250, and man... My first 9250 was a rocket, 128 MB 128 bits of memory bus. Nfs underground 2 near of maxed out on 1024x768. Geforce series 5 didn't saw the plate. But than my gpu stopped work and as "warranty" the store gave me a shitty 64 bits model and my experience turned to agony. Less than half bandwidth if you consider the clock was smaller too

[@jayranks3724]

I remember really wanting this card at the time but i couldn't afford it. I ended up going for the GTO version which had four fewer shaders but was still a beast and lasted me pretty well until my next card the almighty Nvidia GTX8800 gts. Again a cut down version of the 8800gtx but nonetheless maxed out all my games still. Love your channel btw, especially all the retro cpu/gpu stuff.

Nice video, beast of a card to back in the day on the 8xAGP bus. My last AGP card was a radeon 3850HD, that was a great card also and the last of the mainstream AGP models that was massed produced. Had the 3850HD for many years and it happily ran world of warcraft alongside my FX60 dual core skt 939. Only upgraded to a PhenomII x4 965BE and a radeon 6870 PCIe card when Mists of Pandaria released XD

[@BigJoshGaming]

It's hilarious that this video popped up on my feed today as I have this very card sitting on my desk from cleaning out my computer closet. I was planning on throwing it into one of the retro gaming builds I'm working on. Great card I always thought it was really cool looking.

[@R_.709]

You were planning on throwing it into garbage

[@isunshin999]

This is awesome. I built my first pc in 2004 with the ATI X800 Pro. Doom 3 and Half Life 2 were the big games that fall.

[@AurioDK]

My two greatest pc investments in the years gone by, the card in the video and the GTX 1080. The X800 XT did somehow end up with corrupted memory and started failing shortly after WoW´s release, got a new one that ended up with artifacts without any overclocking. The third AMD replacement card then lasted for about 4 years, played WoW mostly during that time so didn´t actually need such an expensive card in the first place.

[@RetroFan]

This was the first graphics card my friend had in his first custom built pc. I'll never forget how cool it was to play Fear, Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Far Cry and others. He of course had a 4:3 CRT monitor, so the games looked beautiful and ran without any display lag.

[@SNLionStar]

I really love your channel, you always cover some of the more experimental PC Gaming topics and I find it really helpful, 100% sticking out of your average tech channel just covering the usual hardware reviews- keep up the good stuff!

[@TechGamesAU]

I had the x800 pro back in the day, I upgraded from a GeForce 4. The performance improvement on far cry was phenomenal, I couldn’t believe I could run the game at max settings with AA turned on at the time. Plus I was the only person among my peers able to run Doom 3.

[@TkoPunches]

[@geeknproud321]

I remember getting my X800GTO2 for $150 and slapping an aftermarket cooler on it and BIOS flashing it to an X850XT-PE. Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego bought used(later a 4400+ Toledo) both overclocked to 2.4Ghz, Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard, 2 x 1GB Corsair XMS DDR-400. All on Windows XP Pro. It actually multitasked great as applications were a lot more memory conscious back then and 2-4GB was considered a gaming/poweruser amount still. It was a good time to be a PC gamer on a budget. Modern resolutions have made games much harder to play well for the budget builder. Half Life 2, Doom 3, Far Cry, Battlefield 2, Rome Total War, etc all ran great. Those were the days. I miss the old "Next-Gen Shooter" golden era when pixel shaders really hit their stride and games were still really ambitious. PC Gaming was magical and relatively pure and not bogged down with DRM and DLC like it is now.

[@adamclark9552]

This was my first "flagship" GPU I ever purchased and it sure could fly. UT2k4 on ultimate ran flawlessly (there was some tearing, but I didnt know about Vsync back then.) due to moving I had to leave everything behind and start from scratch. I purchased a computer with an athlon 64x2 2400 and NO GPU and it ran better than I could possibly imagine lol.

[@ashleymcgovern7687]

Ati was considered by most industry rags to be the higher end of the GFX market back then. In fact when I got into building my own rigs about 2004, NV was seen more as the budget option. Also when Far Cry was released AMD Athlon 64 & X2 CPUs were the highest end CPU until Core2Duo.

The old PC i just pulled out for old school gaming goodness has an X800XT in it, non platinum. Never looked into why it would overheat back then, forgot that it did, clean installed XP, played some Soldier of Fortune 2 and it overheated shutting down my system. Protip: Clean your GPU fans/fins out every so often. They were completely covered up with accumulated dust. Cleaned it out, ran SoF2 just fine then...although temps were hitting about 70-71C for the 20 mins I played.

I hope you guys know, in 2004 no one play games at 1080p. 1024/768, 1280/1024 resolutions was most popular and 1600/1200 was something like 1440p/4k today. It means, performance was much better :)

I think it would be more appropriate to pair it with a Prescott Pentium 4 HT , since it came out in 2004, rather than a cpu from 2007 And i think that for 2004 the most accurate resolution to test would be 1024 x 768, to give a more accurate representation of what games in 2004 would actually play like

2004 cards could run 2004 games at 1080p. Just recently we started to go up a little to 1440p, getting good framerates.

I've got a 256mb AGP X800 GTO that I found in a car at a scrapyard. It needed a bit of dusting but it works fine
