Low End Video Cards Rant - Are they still terrible?

[@dstarr3]

If your money situation is so dire that it's impossible to save up, say, $100 in a few months to buy a decent entry-level GPU, you probably shouldn't be spending your money on the games themselves, either.

[@Koreyx]

+Dave Starr think about the kids

[@MrJigssaw1989]

+Dave Starr Well the most played games today are LoL, Dota 2 which are free and CS:GO which is 5-10$ all while delivering thousands of potential entertainment hours. + There are steamsales where you can get few years old AAA games for next to nothing - point being you can be a PC gamer without spending a lot for software.

[@CatskillOne]

+Dave Starr Arrrrrrrr matey, there be pirates.

[@saturnGEEK]

[@KagedStorm]

It's still basically the same. Don't buy anything under a GTX 750 Ti (or the AMD equivalent) if you're looking for a GPU that can do more than give more video ports and play games other than casual or esports titles.

[@ej_tech]

Need a cheap display-out card? I bought a Radeon HD 8570 (a.k.a R5 240) used on eBay for less than $20. It's GCN 1.0 so it actually has up-to-date Windows 10 drivers and supports H.264 decode acceleration. A crap ton of these cards are on eBay right now pulled from a lot of Dell prebuilts.

[@Snortthememes]

+Vanessa S then i present to you this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2Woo52PoJ16Z9k

[@Snortthememes]

+Radian Al in some cases, yes this argument may be true and 750 ti I think even supports shadowplay whereas the gt 1030 doesn't, but the gt 1030 will be supported after the 750 ti stops being supported by nvidia and it uses less power and is lower profile. Besides to get a cheap 750ti(cheaper than 70 bucks), you would often need to go to sites like ebay or craigslist, and some people don't like to use such websites to get such stuff (such as myself). in laptops, you won't even be able to find a 750 ti in a laptop. But, there is the mx150; a card that performs about the same as a gt 1030 that you can find in laptops as cheap as $500-600 .

[@MakersMuse]

Used is ALWAYS a good option if you're broke. Just hunt the classifieds and lowball everyone (gumtree for me) upgraded my GF's crapbox 275's for a gtx760 for $140AUD last year doing that. Now she can spend all day taming dino's in ARK >_>

So many people hate on used. For anything other than power supplies and hard drives I always consider used price to performance. I just picked up a used EVGA GTX 970 FTW for $205 on eBay and it works fine. How do you beat that?

[@MakersMuse]

Thing is anyone selling kit like that is either A - a gamer who wouldn't have the conscience to sell damaged goods or B - a spoiled child who probably never even used it. Sure, if its in a box with random crap and no protection you might worry but more often than not they show you it working in a system. That is a SICK price for a 970!

I have a challenge for you: Build a Raspberry pi 2 (or any other microcomputer like a Banana Pi or orange Pi) cluster, make it run a x86 emulator and play games on it. Try building it inside of a normal pc case. ^^

[@kingunicorn7353]

I would love this. they need to do it!

[@arthur5]

+MGThePro It wouldn't work well if it is even possible because games are not made to use lots of little cores, especially non demanding games

[@MGThePro]

well maybe it's possible that multiple ARM cores emulate one Big core ^^ (like 4 raspberry pi, each 4 core ARM processor emulates one fast x86 processor) :D

[@arthur5]

[@1234yayboy]

if you go to best buy they advertise the r7 240 as a gaming gpu

[@1234yayboy]

also it seems the r7 240 is not that bad because I can run arma at 50 frames on high. it's not what I would run these days but it did good when I had it.

[@tastymeatballs2783]

+Nick Howell What processor do/did you have? ArmA's engine goes more after the CPU than GPU. I could play ArmA 3 Alpha on my old GTX 660 2GB on close to ultra (minus Anti-Aliasing and etc) and get a stable 50 fps outside of huge fights and multiplayer. Not saying this in an offensive kind of way but ArmA is a bit of a bad comparison when you focus on GPUs because of the CPU usage.

[@1234yayboy]

Youre probably right I use an octocore 3.2 gigahertz processor

[@tastymeatballs2783]

Nick Howell That explains it! Tho it's a good thing ArmA works that way, as it's such a great game :)

[@LooneyPony]

+shut your face! hell, the 750 ti is 100 bucks right now, only 30 dollars more. people on a budget are saying they can't save that much? I UNDERSTAND, with inflation and all that, but still... EVGA SC 750 ti was ninty bucks just 3 weeks ago, the best version of the 750 ti. Right now the AMD r7 370 from XFX is 110 dollars. There are so many better budget cards than the gt 730 or r7 240... especially the ones you listed

[@TheJohn8765]

+LooneyPony I take it you don't have a family or a mortgage to pay? I've watched my brother have a real tight budget because his kids and his house comes first. So, yah.. I don't have a problem dropping $500 bucks on a video card, but lots of people have quite restricted budgets. Even $100 bucks isn't something they can spare (at least not for 6 months).

Tejas Shringare technology flies faster than I thought it would be, the RX 550 run mostly all esport games these days like CSGO or overwatch, and had 2gb gddr5 all for whopping $80 new

[@PicturesqueGames]

For the price/performance - it also rips to shreds any other budget card from before - gt640 in particular (that's what i had, which on itself - was almost an exact match to gtx275 in every spec aside from using shitton less watts and subsequently heat dissipation). Like literally - whole 10xx line so far was a marvel. I can't even believe the power boost between top 9xx and 10xx cards.

[@Angultra]

Also if had to go low profile, this is the most sensible choice.

[@mfnbpwnz]

Can confirm. Have the GTX 1050 low profile in a Dell small form factor case and it is an impressive little card for $100.

[@nikitazaycev8636]

I guess we need a 3rd video for 2021, especially due to gpu shortages. Imo the gtx 1060 6gb is the real sweet spot, got mine used for $120 2 years ago. For reference thats = 1650S and almost 2x compared to 1050ti.

I don't really understand how people who don't have a lot of money get all butt hurt just because they can't afford something right now. Just wait, save up money even if it's just pennies and cents it will eventually add up enough, so you can buy something that isn't garbage. Technology will always move forward and get better as time goes by, so the longer you wait, the better the stuff you buy later on will be.

[@GabrielIgnacio]

1TerraHertz Again, save up for a better card. As for the sake of your hypothetical job situation, there's always looking for better jobs though if you're in a situation where you only earn $1 per month overall, gaming shouldn't be your concern in the slightest.

[@JackPecker911]

If you can only save up a dollar each month for a graphics card, then I don't think gaming should be in the list of priorities. Also you don't have to buy graphics cards or computer parts new, it's more than likely that you can buy cards that have been in use for 3-4 years and they are still absolutely fine and are most likely on sale under 50$

Too bad I didn't know about Volta and Pascal GPUs before I upgraded ;-;

[@novideohereatall]

I upgraded to my i7 6700K not so long ago, but ive been running my gtx 660 now for 2years, and its starting to crap itself in newer games. Since a gtx 970 is basically all you need for everything 1080P (Which is what i run, scre 4K, no moneys m8) I only have patience to wait for pascal, and even then im considering a temporary gtx 680 or something... :(

[@alexr.5659]

***** :/ it would be a waste though. Pascal GPUs will cost the price of a currently high end GPU + 100$. They will cause a 100$ drop on the old GPUs (900 series for example). So, imo wait for Pascal, get a 680. It should get you 30FPS ultra on new games. You will make it to Volta and you will get something which will rape a Pascal GPU lol

[@dhgmrz17]

Makes sense, if you are going to by a $80 dollar card that sucks, and instead save a little more and buy a $100 card with more than double the performance. You don't really have yours money worth on a new GPU until you reach $100 mark then you start to get most for you money on lower end GPUs.

[@IronOreGaming]

You bought the wrong GT 730. The GDDR5 edition is far faster and within the same budget range. It's even recommended by sites like Tom's Hardware for it's surprisingly capable gaming performance.

[@Spencerwalker21]

Lol yeah right so like what 10-15% better performance making it barely better than integrated Intel GPU lol fail

[@IronOreGaming]

Spencerwalker21 You seem intelligent. That was a joke. Haha. The GT 730 GDDR5 edition gets an average of 63FPS in GTA V, 49 in Battlefield 4, and 61 in GS:GO. I'd like to see an R7 240 do that (Hint: It won't). The higher memory bandwith makes all teh difference. The only reason to use an R7 240 or 250 is if you've got an AMD A8 or A10 APU and want the extra performance with a Dual-Graphics option, which show decent FPS increases comparable to some more expensive cards.

[@Spencerwalker21]

+IronOreGaming yeah I'm not referring to the amd 240 misunderstood your comment but it's still a terrible buy if your buying a new system get a apu and save to buy a GPU fir later or buy a used gtx 660

[@tyaty]

+IronOreGaming A GDDR5 240 can be just as good, but it is brutally underclocked by default, in order to get 18W TDP. The same ( except 1 CU is not cut down) GPU on 250 runs at 1ghz by default. Oland and GK208 GPU-s are roughly equivalent with each other. And they both suck as desktop GPU-s.

[@IronOreGaming]

Spencerwalker21 That's also a viable option, I won't argue that it isn't. If you're on a super-limited budget, buying used is probably the best way to go.

[@mukerremtufekcioglu6002]

AMD CPUs (not APUs I mean) don't have integrated GPUs. When people use AMD CPUs for their home theater setups, for example, they need something as a GPU. If they are not planning to game on their home theater setup, they use these to save up a few bucks.

I watched the original video again just the other day. hahaha, the amount of people who missed the point was way too high.

[@skins4thewin]

I laugh at the ppl saying we need an updated version. For what? To just rehash the exact same points again? Nothing has changed besides the names of the current entry level cards. Just look them up! The concept is very simple - Don't pay significant money for an entry level card. If it's more than like 20 bucks or so, don't even bother. If you just need a GPU, get one of the cheap low profile ones used for peanuts. If you need performance, get something higher end that's used instead. & if you have a newer modern CPU, it's integrated graphics are very likely in line with that entry level card you're looking at & thus you don't need to buy a GPU at all! The points mentioned here will be valid for a very, very long time. Just insert whatever the latest entry level cards are in place of the ones mentioned here & you're good. This is not rocket science, this is all just very basic common sense, something that many ppl apparently lack.

[@bingo4money1]

As an answer to "what entry level GPU should I get?", GTX 750Ti. You can even get some beast EVGA ones. EVGA GTX 750Ti SSC is 119$ on amazon right now, base clock of 1215mhz, 2GB VRAM, and power requirement of 500watts, I even ran my stock 750Ti on an old 300w Dell PSU. Its better than a 660 which used to be the standard, and its cheap as fuck while pulling enough weight to almost get to PS4/Xbone levels of performance. I used a stock 750Ti for a long time very close to a PS4s performance and only upgraded to a 970 to get a jump past the PS4s performance.

[@dunkdisord3r420]

Yes i was going to say the same. Wtf are you thinking?

[@bingo4money1]

Hadnt checked up on the GTX 1050Ti, if you have a bit more money to spend I would definitely go with that. But the 750ti is still a great little card that you can find all over the place for a very cheap price.

[@jcm2606]

+xXDarkwarGamingXx The hate only roles in if you make a wrong move. Either way, they weren't suggesting buying high-end CPUs in the video if that's what you were commenting on, they simply used high-end CPUs to avoid any bottlenecks coming from the CPU to isolate any performance discrepancies to solely the graphics card and only the graphics card. Eliminating variables and making sure the experiments and benchmarks are consistent in terms of the CPU-versus-GPU performance ratio.

I use an r7 360 and it's a decent card for the price. It runs many game at 1080p but it's beginning to show its age and limitations. Newer games (like overwatch) will need to have its settings turned to low for 1080p 60fps. But if you don't need 1080p or 60fps, you'll be fine. Most of the time for the newer games I get 40-50fps

[@mongocom1735]

+Thundertube7 well i need 1920x1080 ....what gpu then ?

[@Zaeo-uw4dw]

Heres a fair point in here; 3:00. Used components. I recently sold my old GTX 770 2gb for $80. This is a card that is capable of running literally everything out there on med-high settings on triple A titles for 1080P. Certainly far from the realm of 60 fps flat(Why I upgraded); but plenty. For that price, you can buy a new r7 240, a gt 730, and *with a rebate* a gtx 1050 TI. With exception of the 1050 TI*as its performance is closer to a gtx 780* This is a deal that can't really be beat, assuming the card was well taken care of over the years. I never overclocked or touched voltages, so that is a check. I did, however, neglect to dust it out regularly. I never really had to, as the max temps it ever got to on the core was 67C while gaming, and 71C benching, even with a blanket of dust. The ACX cooler on it was just that good. But this was a $400 card in 2013 when I bought it ($409). I could even have held onto it for another year and still be able to run everything, assuming the card continued to work. That's an ownership window of 4-5 years. That said, going on another year or two would likely be as far as it would go; but who is going to stop you from buying an old GTX 970 for $80 in two more years? If you are on a strict budget, consider used before new, because you more often than not get less for your dollar in that ultra low range.

[@olivialambert4124]

There are some reasons a terrible graphics card can be a good call. People who don't care for gaming but want improved graphics like photoshop artists or people who want GPU video decoding could get something out of getting a terrible card. Also people who do play games but either rarely or only low requirement games like Hearts of Iron would benefit from a terrible card. I can't play it on my laptop computer with only intergrated graphics but newer laptops even with a worse CPU but a dedicated (and terrible) graphics card don't blink an eye. People like my dad with a poor CPU, rarely play games and would be happy with a slideshow type FPS and have the CPU struggling with 2d graphics would like the bottom end graphics cards. Personally I'm both a gamer and someone who likes high quality. I've got experience with cheap graphics cards with laptops but do wish they would follow linus' advice. Desktops I'm well out of the low end price band. However I do still think there is a place for cheap graphics cards, its just not much of one. A side note is that for that price point you want to look at the lifespan of the computer and one step up with the graphics card ultimately means you will be upgrading less frequently and spending less money. On the flip side the main market for cheap graphics will be limited by the rest of the system anyway and either don't have the knowledge to upgrade or swap between laptops, desktops, small and large form factors and ultimately can't drag the card along with them. Ie parents getting computers handed down from their children.

[@Cyortonic]

But why would you overpay for something that sucks.

[@olivialambert4124]

Cyortonic It depends on your workload. Why would you overpay even more for a gaming card you don't need if your sole usage is to use photoshop more efficiently?

[@Cyortonic]

Olivia Lambert But this card does worse than the Skylake onboard graphics, and it's $80.

[@olivialambert4124]

Cyortonic Well considering an AMD computer with this card is cheaper than skylake that's not a great argument. And since most people looking to buy this card will be running ancient computers like a Core2Duo or an old 2011 Sandy Bridge i3 I doubt the ancient Intel graphics will be relevant. Add to that the fact that I've personally been very disappointed with every Intel graphics generation I've used,currently a 4th gen i7 and the fact that even terrible and ancient NVidia cards have decoded videos and handled generic tasks for me far better than any Intel graphics solutions ever have and I'd prefer that GPU to Skylake onboard graphics any day. I recently pulled a GeForce 7950 out of my dads computer, a 2006 GPU. Do you really think he is going to need a 970 when he was happy with the 7950? Or indeed will he want the power bill and PSU stress of an upgrade? And finally the single slot 7950 with its tiny heatsink taking up less than a quarter of the card's space barely fit in his system, should I rebuild in a case which won't fit on his desk just to shove a tri-fan AMD Fury in there? No, give him something modern enough to be compatible with semi-modern drivers and handle videos and Windows Vista without a huge power load and he's happy. Comparing a pathetic graphics card with 6700k onboard graphics is as stupid a comparison as testing the two on games. The original criticism of the tests was right, they re looking at it from a gamer's point of view. If you're spending that little on a graphics card what makes them think you've got enough for a 6700k either? And if your system is that pathetic what makes them think modern games like far cry 4 are a good measure of performance? My dad runs 2d games like hearts of iron, he does the most basic work on videos and he runs windows vista and wants multiple ebay windows to work, the 730 is a better card for him than the 740 and even if they were the same price I'd take the 740. And to finally make the point I recently upgraded my system and offered him the old components. He could have had a system capable of running any current game, 70fps GTA 5 for free and he turned it down for his ancient 2011 i3 because he'd rather 2d games and laggy windows vista for ebay than a higher power consumption and larger case. The 730 has a place. Its not for us gamers but then again if you're buying a £2000 system (around $3000) you're not going to care about a $40 graphics card nor see its role. Their testing methodology proved that much.

Using the default drivers for video the latest 3d game I attempted to play was street fighter ex2 and it played flawless. Soul calibur it chugged. Ridge racer1 dipped below normal framerates but was very playable. Now because the CPU was an i3 it still worked pretty damn good for myself. I have heard through the grapevine that if you can get a mini pc with an i5 CPU it's pretty good for setting up arcade games. Also if you are fending for a card the 210 is okay as it's opengl capabilities is pretty solid. Also if the 710 is actually not stupidly priced it's pretty solid.

It's 2021, almost 2022. My GT 1030 that I overclocked can run a low-end AAA game on low-med settings at 900p and 60 fps.

[@3_pancakes767]

if you are buying a new gpu, DO NOT BUY something like the 1030, With just like ~+15% the price, you can often almost double the gpu performance,

[@wizard4599]

5:00 that's what I did. I had an i5 6400, I played games on it for a while then when I had the money, I got myself a gtx 1060 6gb by palit, it works wonders, you just have to wait and be patient.

[@zimtaria8970]

Is a 2gb 950ti good for league of legends? Could i run another game?

[@HScarlet]

Easily, the GTX 750Ti can play Cyrsis 3 at high plus settings, so a GTX 950 should be able to play anything. But the new GTX 1050 Ti is more or less directly rated between a GTX 960 and a GTX 970 at around $149 I think, so it's a better buy.

[@zimtaria8970]

DDuMas Thanks. Do you think skyrim can run on ultra?

[@HScarlet]

Possibly, not sure. But for context, the GTX 750 Ti can run Arkham Knight at 30fps really well, maybe better than consoles and that's not a great port. So there's a good chance the GTX 950 could max Skyrim, I expect the GTX 1050 Ti probably would if the GTX 950 couldn't, especially since it's a 4GB card. Can you get a GTX 950 on a special deal or something?

[@zimtaria8970]

DDuMas my budget is around 6500-7000 for a full pc

[@HScarlet]

6500 - 7000? Which currency is this?

[@Alex4SiliconValley]

[@jcm2606]

+Alex4SiliconValley Might want to make the distinction between a GTX 750 and a GTX 750 Ti. A 750 and a 750 Ti are two completely different cards, the 750 Ti is the stronger of the two.

[@JP-dm8is]

you could just get a 7970 instead of the 280x

[@Alex4SiliconValley]

+jakemichie97 The "AMD R7-360" is a good budget video card too that performs almost equal to the "Nvidia GTX 750ti".

[@jcm2606]

Alex4SiliconValley AMD offers great budget cards, and also scale better with DirectX 12 meaning when games start to move over, unless NVIDIA dedicates Pascal to DirectX 12, AMD will be a bit ahead of NVIDIA in terms of performance. The only problem I have with AMD is their drivers are hit-and-miss, it's sometimes best to sit a couple patches behind, especially if OpenGL is the renderer of your choice (so you're playing something like Minecraft or are using Linux). Though, they seem to be getting better.

[@GarrySkipPerkins]

+Alex4SiliconValley FYI, an R9 280x DESTROYS a 750.

[@deusexaethera]

I like the way this video thoroughly pwns all the keyboard jockeys who thought they knew better. Please make more videos like this.

[@fenderbender_5022]

The point in low end gpus is too usually to just throw them in a old dell for a cheap tf2/csgo machine since (in tf2s case at least) something like a gt 1030 vs gtx 1050 ti provide almost identical performance when the 1050 ti costs 70 more bucks and requires more power that a power supply in an old pre built may not have.

[@AvoirJoseph]

Im reminded that I only have gt 210 which is saddddddd........

[@asneecrabbier3900]

Duuuude i game on a geforce 730A 😭🔫

[@samuellourenco1050]

Me too. However, the GT 730 varies a lot. There is a version with a 128bit bus, that is not worth it.

[@KeaganLegit]

Just got a GT 730 for my PC build. Honestly it all depends on the games you want to play.

[@GamingSoupGames]

I thought people only bought graphics cards like this for home theater setups

[@GamingSoupGames]

+Alexander Binovski yeah I thought so because of anybody buy these cards with sole intention to play games sorry but they're stupid for misinformed lol a lot of people because motherboard normally never supported resolution so there is a place for it in the market there just thinking about it the wrong way

[@KingBobXVI]

+GamingSoup You shouldn't need one for a home theater setup. Most CPUs have dedicated video decoders now, and the GPU probably won't even get used.

[@GamingSoupGames]

KingBobXIV​ im aware of that thats why i said motherboards never usually support high resolutions until of lately and what not

[@kyzerbuhnzi6403]

+GamingSoup amd fx rigs and fm2 athlons don't have igpu so

[@GamingSoupGames]

then there we go lol

[@FPLogistic]

I would like a new graphics card, but it wont fit my motherboard... At least I dont think so

[@mystlegend9359]

If your motherboard has a PCI-e(xpress) x16, most GPUs will fit.

[@FPLogistic]

RainbowMiner2004 How do I know if it has? My motherboard is "Dell Inc. 0C2KJT (CPU 1) at least thats what I know, thanks tho

[@WyzzyMoon]

it has 1 16x PCI-e 2.0 slot, so as long as it would physically fit in your case, every pci-e gpu should work

[@FPLogistic]

***** Is a radeon hd 6670 a pci-e gpu?

[@mystlegend9359]

+FP Logistic while it is a PCI-e card, it's overpriced for its performance. I would recommend the 750 ti from EVGA if you are in the $100 price point, which I assume, as on Amazon the ASUS HD 6670 is $110.

[@ListersHatsune]

What about for low energy usage? I kind of want to go off-grid one day but I'm a gamer. A good power efficient PC that's still capable of playing modern games would require somthing that isn't top tier. Do these budget graphics not perform well in power efficiency?

[@Matt-sj4ib]

aListers Nvidia 1050/1050ti or maybe AMD 560 is your best bet for that. I've run a 1050 non-ti on a 300W psu.

[@BenjisTwoChitz]

Yes they do, the thing is the GT 730 GDDR5 version costs around 100 bucks in Canada, which uses 25W power, great right? But, the GT 1030 is only 15-20 bucks more than that and offers nearly 50% better than the GT 730 GDDR5 version, and it uses 30W of power. Then, what's the point of buying the GT 730? The benchmark was collected by myself and while I do not have both cards but only a GT 730, my cousin, who lives with me, has a GT 1030, and I'd rather save 20 dollars to buy the GT 1030 instead of the GT 730. Sadly, I bought the GT 730 a month earlier than the 1030's release...

[@kalebbruwer]

Computer power usage actually isn't too bad. The most expensive parts of going solar are the dc-ac thingy (forgot the name) and the batteries. So if you mostly game during the day it will barely impact the system.

[@animeshay847]

aListers AMD’s APUs eg. A12-9800e, 3.1ghz processing speed, quad core. 65 Watt tdp, 900 mhz clock, you’re gonna need at least an extra 4gb of RAM as it has no vram

[@coopergates9680]

You could also take a more powerful card and undervolt it, with a little down clocking if need be.

[@CozyCatte]

I remember playing Skyrim on 800x600 resolution back in 2011 when I had an AMD Phenom X4 840 and a Radeon HD 5450. Good ol' times :)

[@JohnnyReborn665]

My biggest dissapointment came from a budget GPU, a GT 730 from Asus, which is advertised with 4 GB's, but from what I can tell, it barelly squeezes 2, almost regret buying the GPU altogether...still get the kicks when it fires up and the cooler sounds like a mini jet engine.

[@realazee]

I just paired my 6700k non-gaming machine with a gt730......

[@KastDeutsch]

The iGPU is still better than a gt 730 ^^

[@nitroussquezy5048]

I have a gt730 with an i7 3770k

[@foxbox2879]

...wtf why ?

[@kennyb0y1597]

Crunchyroll is crap... Its free but has far too many ads... Also the actual most current episode isnt aired free until the next week

[@agentcrm]

+kennyb0y1597 That's why there's a premium tier, subscription = zero adds & no delay on viewing.

[@stra2g]

better than tv

[@EthelonYT]

+kennyb0y1597 What do you expect for free?

[@nou8257]

+kennyb0y1597 That's how they get you to give them money A lot of sites and stuff use that tactic otherwise they couldn't operate or pay for sponsor spots.

[@realkaibr]

Anime lab is crunchyroll but 2x the size of anime with like half the ads + premium is better.
