£1 GPU + Modded Drivers = 1080p Gaming?

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

For anyone not wanting the hassle of attempting to get these to work, there is a set of modded drivers that happen to be much more stable, and the performance is similar in most titles: forums.guru3d.com/threads/13-1-reloaded-driver-for-legacy-users.374236/ Just found these, which also work great: drive.google.com/open?id=1zJMtCm6-h37vRf0PoZntcPTrYF7OU-9N

[@jakeparkinson7695]

You can use dx11 on these cards, try wineD3D for windows. Basically, its a wrapper for dx11 games which translates them into opengl. I have had some success on older intel hd graphics, managed to run fallout 4 on first gen hd graphics, though it was not a good experience.

[@Madgemade]

I tried using wineD3D with Watch_Dogs and Battlefield 1 and V beta but the games crashed before opening. I don't have fallout 4 but if it works with that then it could be great for anyone with GTX 200 series or below which don't have dx11 at all.

awesome work mate

[@_RedsTech_]

I'm sure this is a complicated question to answer... :) but do you think these might work with the old direct x 10 & 11 integrated gpus. I'm super close to running some AAA games on old AMD A8-3510MX (HD 6620g graphics). I've already overclocked the processor to 2.8 all cores (from 1.5 base/2.5 boost) and the igpu core and memory which is also maxed in afterburner. It's been running that way for almost 2 years :). I can get Star Wars Battlefront 2015 to run between 20-35 fps but I feel like these drivers might do the trick! Thoughts?

Great work, I certainly wouldn't have guessed performance like this. Makes you wonder what other older cards could do nowadays with proper driver support.

[@amzytheking]

Also makes you wonder how much better new cards could be with proper driver support. This card almost gets 2/3 of the FPS I get with a 1050Ti. Crazy.

[@edgyman7752]

Kuinn Can the 1050ti still run games nice? Like 2018 games on decent setting?

[@amzytheking]

I don't play any modern titles, but I get about 170 on Rocket League and 180 on League of Legends, 130 on Overwatch, that kinda deal. It's a good card but has been mined recently so you'd be better off spending another £40-50 and getting a 1060 6GB.

[@JonathanDeane]

I bought some 1050 Ti factory overclocked card with like 2 fans and extra power connector. At the time I didn't expect much but like every game I have thrown at it runs 1080P no problems. I usually just run emulators and play video on it but it's nice to know it's there if I want to use it instead of my main PC.

[@amzytheking]

I have a single fan non-factory-OC 4GB card, and I just OC'd it in Afterburner by a few % and set its fans to 75-80% -- I never go over 65c in any modern title I do run such as fortnite. You can get some really good performance out of a 1050Ti. They're great middle ground cards for starting off with newer titles. If you're more into the newer games, I suggest a 1060 6GB or a 1070Ti.

[@WhiteGreenFox]

I wasn't expecting Leshcat's drivers to be mentioned. I used to use the drivers extensively a few years back on my laptop! At the time it was the only way for computers with 'switchable graphics' to have up-to-date drivers. Very sad day when he had to stop supporting them!

[@pietrekk1]

The last best (Official) drivers were 11.11c which had the best performance for them. Since 13.x drivers AMD moved hd 2xxx/3xxx/4xxx to legacy support thats why it was so slow on 13.x

[@likeclockwork6473]

I had really good luck with old 2010 drivers and 2011 drivers with my HD 6950 which is weird because that's before the card released. It improved my frame rate in the original Far Cry by like 300% and higher. I really think gamers should get really creative with custom operating systems and their drivers for certain eras. GTAIV is a great example of this. I remember even though the textures still had the unloading and reloading problem the game ran a lot more stable on its initial first year release. Some updates help games, others bring it down. Better off trying to run some games on older hardware with really old pirated software (if you already own the game of course). Games like GTAIV would refuse to start because the updated services are completely incompatible with the previous launcher of the original version

It's sad how drivers can limit such decent cards as that one. I once had troubles with my previous GPU the R7 360 but in the end it only had issues due to how I had disabled windows update so it was lacking some very important update or something. Took hours to notice after countless of drivers...

[@mynamefrank6567]

[@F2FTech]

Hey...um, so can a one pound card run CRYSIS? 😜. Great job man. Seems like the drivers work rather nicely. Great deal on the HD 4890 BTW 👍

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

Cheers man, feel free to give them a go, but to say they're temptemental is an understatement... Still nice performance boost in most titles.... Shame that the 13.4 Drivers are so poor.

[@F2FTech]

I would, but the fact that I switch out so many cards on my test system would make them very time consuming to install. Maybe when I get some time :) Oddly enough, I'm finishing up on my next video, which has a HD 3870 in it. I'm using Windows 7 which helps a little, but unfortunately frame times are still terrible with the 13.9 drivers...

[@khizerrizviofficial]

Are there any drivers that are compatible with the 4850 ?

[@johndoumba6965]

yes i have run Crysis and its expansion maxed out onall settings (except AA had it 8x instead of 16x) on my Ati Radeon HD4890 (8gb ram ,Phenom 965BE) , it was a beast of a card unfortunately it didnt have dx11 support or else it would be perfect for games like dying light,alien isolation etc etc, dont know how these experimental drivers work but im gonna give them a try

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

It can run crysis pretty much. Around GX 260 performance is good to run it fine on the (then) common resolution of 1280x1024 maxed with 4x or 8x MSAA On 1600x1200 it gets a bit tight but with reduced settings should be "playable" And yes the HD 4850, 4870 and 4890 are almost identical from a technical standpoint, one driver should fit them all.

You're limited to old games for that 4k options. Modern titles are almost impossible to run on 4K max settings (60fps) except for 1080ti. If youre running at 4k medium decently, you could've gone for high at 1440p which looks better

[@aredditchanneltopissoffapa6940]

Holy crap. The 4K pennies idea would actually be a pretty great idea. You could actually get a gtx 750 for about $40 on aliexpress (m.aliexpress.com/item/32854134267.html?pid=808_0000_0101&spm=a2g0n.search-amp.list.32854134267&) and seeing as that is about as powerful as a gt 1030 4K even on modern games but at low settings should totally be possible. Also, if looking for a deal, you could probably get a better card at the same price.

[@AvroBellow]

I remember this card. Not because I owned one but because a very good friend of mine did (looking at you Hellfighter!). I had the HD 4870 and when it came time to upgrade, I just decided to get a second one because Crossfire would be viable for a long time to come. The idea that you got this card for one pound sterling four years ago blows my mind. Whenever I see things like this, cards for so cheap, it's almost always a a card that was never great to begin with but this card was one of the most powerful single-GPU cards in the world when it was released. That's pretty impressive.

Just gotta remind you that Competitive gaming settings only care, really, about the resolution. Turn off the shadows next time. To give people the TLDR of if this card is good with that done right, it is actually fairly alright considering i got about 60fps at 1080p with my 4870 1Gb 10 year old card. Just enable a 4:3 ress that is smaller and you got yourself a very very cheap entry-level competitive GPU for 60Hz. A bargain, despite the driver hassle you are forced to go trough for them with Win10.

[@ifyouwantmoneythengivemeev8094]

for csgo, shadows can actually make a difference. because shadow blending can indicate the presence of a player, and this effect isn't shown if shadows are under medium.

There are still cards around that might offer better supprt and/or performance in CS:GO Basically anything that was supported for longer then the HD 4000 series. I've seen GTX 460's go for under 15€ and they should offer way more performance. Same goes for HD 5830/50's. (They even run on Catalyst 15.7.1 and Crimson 16.2.1 beta) But for that low price the HD 4870/90 should be instant Win. Just maybe not under Windows 10.

[@slideman4689]

You and randomgaminghd uploads on the same day. You guys are the best!!!

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

slide man: Cheers mate

[@elfedorausado]

This card is now going for $75‐$90 in US eBay this days... thank you, scalpers snd miners...

[@robbutterill1426]

and to think i thought i was getting a good deal buying a radeon rx550 for £25 but this, ONE POUND?!?? its entry level gaming and older titles on high/medium settings at acceptable frame rates. its the one of the best value for money i've seen since... the last HD4890 video you did :)

[@markthometz4403]

You should do a video just on how to clean a graphics card. Like, step by step...If you have, I've missed it. Good work, btw!

[@scorp4770]

Hi, I know, this video is 1,5 years old, but still, in case somebody is interested. Linux has a good support for all ATI/AMD GPUs made in the last 15 years. You even have Vulcan for most of them. And due to amazing work of many people (and Valve) in the last year, we got the DXVK in a good shape to run many Windows games great under Linux. So, if drivers are indeed your single issue with this card, give Linux a try. It should run out of the box.

@9:37 Tom braider.. that's how i read Tomb raider when not separated between the words

[@buffhorses]

Yea they Have Modded Drivers for the AMD 5000/6000 Cards as well. Its like catalyst AMD 16.7.1 and it does work very well

[@mvShooting]

I remember being able of playing Tomb Raider (2013) with an HD4850 and a Phenom II X4 965 without major issues under Windows 8, though. Terascale still not entirely dead!

[@pixels303at-odysee9]

What is the site for modding drivers? I have a 5750 and a 6950 which use the old drivers, which I would be interested in testing with new drivers.

[@maherjl9201]

me to i have hd 5770 last driver 2015 and it is strong card

[@TheWarmotor]

What is the state of community Radeon drivers in Linux? In my experience when the community takes the reigns on legacy drivers support lasts basically forever.

[@sssplllattt]

So glad you're uploading again.

[@gaiustrollius9920]

I knew that drivers are pretty much 50% of a graphics card's performance, but this is a pretty nice improvement.

[@RoxusRemo]

Gotta love the cup of tea in every shot of your vids. We do love our tea.

[@Johny40Se7en]

What did you do to clean the main board of the card, it looked like you did indeed spray it with water 😯😅 Enjoyed this great experiment, ta for sharing. Very in depth, and I love the music throughout, nice one.

[@HoloScope]

Wow performance mode released last year in Fortnite would probably get you like 100 fps!

[@mr.brokendreams9721]

Bless the Open Source community for their service.

[@jake3111]

Hey I'm curious to see how this card would run games on Linux since linux usually has great support for old hardware and especially old AMD hardware as their drivers are open-source. Do you think you could try it out?

[@Clazzette]

Every damn time I eat my food, your vids are often in my recommended. Seriously love your vids. P.S. I often loved that part where you dry your washed parts on that humble little shed roof, every time you wash those PC parts.

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

Gotta love the shed

[@EdgyShooter]

Always love the videos but if you do another before and after could you show the previous FPS scores? :)

[@IronicTonic8]

Did you oil that fan to get it working? You can usually revive the fan with a little bit of sewing machine oil, assuming it's not completely fried.

[@DannyWilliamH]

This is actually quite shocking! To get almost 60fps on any HD resolution and "normal" settings in GTAV on that card is truly shocking. I still have no issue gaming at 720p. I do it all the time on my GT 1030 because I'll take a lower res with higher effects over the inverse all day long. This is an older video but I may try this just for the fun of it. Maybe grab one for my old desktop that's using onboard from 2006 (lol) when not collecting dust.

[@internziko]

I love your music choices

[@MrJamesonStyles]

My go-to DX11super-budget card is an HD6870 or HD6950. Both usually available on ebay for around $40 US and just fine for 720p-1080p gaming at medium settings for a lot of games. Next step up would be a GTX670 2gb.

[@sillystoic9252]

It's amazing how cheap cards are out there. Here, even a gt 710 costs 25$ :/ .

[@MirkWoot]

Doesn't seem THAT cheap when looking on ebay, .. few can maybe be found tho. Very cool, makes me wonder what other cards actually would work better with other drivers.

[@mramir1238]

Have a suggestion. Could you build another PC with the same kind of processor and ram used when the card was new? Doesn't specifically have to be this card, but with all "low" end cards you test? Great video by the way :)

[@Russell970]

Hello Budget-Builds Official! I have a suggestion for you. I shall presume you have seen systems for which do not have any form of PCI-E connector for a graphics card, but, they probably have a PCI connector. So, I improvised an idea: You can get PCI to PCI-E 1x adapters on Amazon. Because PCI runs at a lower voltage, you'll need a 1x to 16x riser, for which has a power connector for the PCI-E connector so that there is no voltage issues. Thus, with this setup you should be in theory, capable of running a graphics card with a full 16x PCI-E (Of course though, not with that sort of bandwidth, just the connection!) connector on an older computer. There are some limitations, like the bandwidth of a PCI connection, and the CPU. I hope you take this suggestion into consideration, as it would make for a very interesting video I don't doubt! :D

[@1oneguythat]

this is alot of what i wanted to see. subbed.

[@unknowjondoe]

Not sure if recognizing the streets of sim city ost is a good thing or a bad thing... I may have played way too much of that game.
