That might actually be interesting to someone (indie game studio or junior game dev) that wants to get into game development for the Xbox/PS*. You could install Windows or a Unix derivative (PS4/5 uses BSD I believe) and test your Unity or Unreal games on actual, real hardware that is used in the Xbox/PS. I can hear people say, use a virtual machine or emulator or something, but 1) emulators are not a thing yet for this generation of consoles, and 2) how would you emulate the incredibly slow Jaguar CPU cores and GPU combo? It is weird however that the motherboard in question has separate memory banks instead of soldered on GDDR* memory that the actual Xbox and PS uses. Makes me wonder if this "custom" APU chip is a lot more conventional that we think. Anyway interesting find and thanks for linking the videos!

It might be more significantly more useful than the 1GB HD 7850 that I own when it comes to playing modern games. Very surprised to see it outperform the R7 260 by such a large margin. They should have the same number of cores and VRAM, the only possible differences are clock speeds and memory bandwidth.

[@leucome]

Also the ROPs the w5000 have 32 and 260 only 16. So the w5000 got 26.40 GPixel/s fill rate versus only 16Gpixel for the 260. So with twice the memory bandwidth and twice the Fill rate it make sense that the W5000 end up a way faster.

[@Erik-dm6wg]

1GB on the 7850 is such a killer. I have it in a tertiary PC that I occasionally like to play games on, and its legitimately frustrating how much of a bottleneck the lack of Vmem is. With low texture quality and 720p, you can get away with some impressive visuals considering its DX12/Vulkan capabilities, but its a real crapshoot. Needless to say, I've gone with the highest Vmem version on subsequent upgrades. 8 gigs on an rx580 may be overkill, but I WILL NOT BE LIMITED LIKE THAT AGAIN.

It's essentially fueling a miniature scalping scheme that may or may not recover (imagine being clueless to this videos existance, wanting to sell your W5000, seeing the average price of ended auctions being at 60+gbp ... do you try to sell it for 30-40? nah.. you're gonna go with the flow and want 60+ for a card that definitely isn't worth that... and then nobody buys it and it rots on ebay forever like so many items do, never actually being sold cause the seller is adamant it's worth way more than it actually is)

I'm blown away that this can run GTA 5 on 2 gigs of VRAM, or that it even handles RDR2.

[@Knaeckebrotsaege]

Plenty of people ran GTAV/Online on GTX960s, also with just 2GB VRAM. Don't really see what's so surprising about this?!

Haha my 2012 MacBook Pro with 1gb of vram runs it perfectly! I just set it to go past the vram so i could turn some settings up.

past gen games are optimize to run on older cards and stable at 30 fps . I'm guessing you started at 10 series?

Gta v can make do with a lot less than 2GB, but with compromises. It's a nearly 10 year old game soon.

I can't tell if you said masterchef deliberately or not 😂 I was wondering if it would still be worth buying because of drivers, but it can run most of the games without issue.

It’s amazing how much they got out of the xbox one GPU considering this performance on PC. Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox One blows my mind.

All of that performance at 45w. It makes rx460 2gb usless and rx550 completely useless. I still think an hd7770 is closer to xbox 1 because of those 32ROPs on w5000. ROPs are far more important for performance than shaders or tmus. Thats why a gtx1050 can have the same performance as an rx560 despite it having half the shaders and tmus plus ofc more modern architecture on nvidias side.

@@gandi69 as someone who started with an R7 360, went up to a 1070ti, then down to a K2200, then up to an RX 580, then down to the iGPU of a 5700G, then up to a 3080, I can say that the K2200 is a pretty good card. Essentially a 750ti with twice the VRAM, same gpu die and all. Not to mention it's single slot and a bus powered card. I plan on keeping my K2200 around even as I use my 3080, since of how practical it is, especially for troubleshooting other systems.

[@Igbf]

Don't know if demand just exploded due to your video but... looking at both ebay and aliexpress, now the cheapest ones go for around 200€ (230$), and the only ones available at 50 are broken ones. Wanted to test one of these for a secondary pc, but will have to wait and be faster in your next awesome-value discovery ;) Nice video as always.

[@RJRC_105]

There's a whole other world of professional grade hardware out there that isn't ordinarily touched on. All I know about professional grade GPUs is that they're hugely expensive for the hardware but you are actually paying for the certified drivers and the 24/7 on call support. And for industrial power supplies you get lower efficiency but redundant modules and rock solid build quality. In fact some industrial PC motherboards still use the ISA slot because upgrading your factory to a PCIe interface would be prohibitively expensive due to having to shut down and change the whole thing and because ISA is so well known as to be all but bug free. Be interesting to run this through some productivity workloads like video rendering and CAD. With more people doing the WFH there might be a market for this sort of thing in home users systems.

[@onoffgeorg9828]

many cards will stop running mainly due to new directx 12 plus requirements, and because integrated graphics will be equal or stronger. gtx 770,1050, 780, r9 280x n similar cannot be defeated. they can run much better than playstaytion 4 decades Aaa titles. putting two 1050 ti together is like a gtx 1650,1660, and cost less

[@Dimondminer11]

OK some of the stuff that you're saying here is not exactly correct. Number one this video is about cards that you can actually get for a decent price right now and the GTX1050 is literally like a $150 to $200 right now and two 1050 Tis would be faster than a 1650 as a single 1050 ti is nearly faster than a basic 1650

[@unpotat7672]

The reason Halo infinite doesn’t work is because that card doesn’t support directx 12 properly. It supports DirectX 12 Feature Level 11_1, Halo Infinite requires at least Feature Level 12_0, there are a good number of new games now which are starting to set the base requirement at FL12_0, for example assassins creed Valhalla, guardians of the galaxy, halo infinite and death stranding(although that has a patch because it used so little actual DX12 features). This is starting to be the bane of older cards like the 750Ti and Kepler alongside first gen GCN as it’s not a case of power, it’s that new games are just unable to run at all.

[@r34ztune11]

12:50 True. My XFX RX570 8GB came stock at 1286mhz at a peak auto voltage of 1.15v. Through BIOS modding, I managed to get that down to just 1V at stock clocks and gained performance by optimizing the VRAM timings(which Polaris really loves). Overclocked to 1350mhz at 1.068v, I'm getting RX580 performance out of it. So while they are dumb cards at stock, BIOS modding can unlock over 10% fps gains with reduced voltage as well. Sadly very few will attempt to mod the BIOS and Radeon Settings is buggy as hell and doesn't allow low-level VRAM timing mods.

[@XsaviXander]

I got my RX 570 OC'd to 1460MHz stable without BIOS modding. The memory timings are automatic, and the voltage settings are set to automatic. Noticable boost in performance. Runs FH5 on ultra no issues.

[@r34ztune11]

​@@XsaviXander1460mhz at what voltage? Because you'll almost surely need more than 1.125v to do that unless you got very lucky with the silicon lottery. At over 1.125v, thermals and power consumption become big issues with these cards. Even at 1.068v and a Kryonaut + 2x Arctic P12 fans mod, my card is in the mid-high 60s Celsius in the most demanding games. Auto memory timings are nowhere near as good as optimized ones. My card was scoring 173GB/s in poclmembench on auto timings and it's now scoring a massive 222GB/s. Polaris is extremely memory-bound so unless you mod the BIOS and optimize the VRAM timings, you are leaving a lot of performance on the table. In some benchmarks such as LuxMark, my 1350mhz RX570 is even scoring above some 1500mhz+ RX590s, simply thanks to the VRAM timings.

[@XsaviXander]

@@r34ztune11 I have it on Auto. I have my memory at 2000MHz on Auto voltage. I have highest state set as the minimum (1460). I may tune the memory timings sometime later though. They are Samsung modules so I'll have to do some research.

Budget XBONE video card for the win. And I'm surprised it ran all those games as well as it did though, because I can remember back when PS3 and Shitbox 360 came out, someone stripped them down to see what video cards they used, and basically the PS3 used a modified version of the 7900GT 256MB. No matter what anybody did, they could never get PS3 level of visual and gameplay quality if they put that into a PC. But nowadays, it shows just how similar the new console architecture is to modern PC's. Hence the similar settings and performance you got most likely 😉 Great experiment as always.

Green Ham Gaming... haven't heard this name for a long time, i hope he is doing well right now. I like the comparisons with the XBone GPU, had a R7 360 a couple of years ago (paired it with a FX8350 and 16gb ram) and i was impressed, that it can play a lot of games as good or even better than the XBone, heck it ran some games even better than the og PS4. A friend of me had a PS4 back than and even he was impressed, how well my pc ran in comparison to his PS4. Later on i upgrade to a RX480 (gave away the R7 to my sister so she could work with the newest PhotoShop and Vegas Pro), now this system is the gaming machine of another friend, who got it from me for cheap, after i build my ryzen system.

[@gamewizard1760]

You should use the Nimez drivers with Firepro and Radeon Pro cards. The drivers fool windows into thinking your professional card is a Radeon gaming card. This allows you to use the Radeon drivers, instead of the professional drivers. You might be able to use a newer driver version, and that can open up a lot of games that would otherwise crash, because your drivers are too old. I did this with a Firepro W8100, and Windows now thinks it's a Radeon R9 290X, and the driver version that I am using, is much newer than the old Firepro drivers.

[@chrisbaughman9860]

Console manufacturers usually choose older gpu's to cut costs yet overall for the system u pay $450-500 for it u could theoretically build a gaming PC with the same horsepower as a Xbox one using a optiplex as the base and get twice the performance out of it because the console gpu's are under clocked to avoid overheating issues.
