This Graphics Card Actually Cost Me Less Than a Potato

[@fox256]

How curious .

[@twanduvigneau5809]

Years ago in about 2012 I bought my first laptop as a kid of 12. I bought it to game a little and do stuff for school. I did'nt know anything about pc specs so sombody at the shop helped me find a laptop for me in my budget (600 euro's). Years after heaving bought the thing I bought AC black flag which run like shit on the machine. about 18 fps or so at 1024p or something simular. This resulted in me going to KZbin to find ways to increase my performance. After doing that and still not being happy I went and researched further and further. Because of the research In started to learn about hardware more and more. This resulted in me having learned a lot about the current hardware (R9 200, GTX 900, hasswell). I evantually knew enough tot build my very own gaming pc. so after having saved up money for like a year (+money from before I decided to buy the pc) I would finnaly be able to build a system. This was in januari of 2016. The system I went to build had an i5 4690k (running at 4.6ghz) + R9 380x (running at 1100/1150mhz). Skylake just released buy it was just a bit to expensive for me because of the ddr4 and stuff. After finishing the build a new world opened of 60fps gaming and having alle the performance I needed. This eventualy got me into learning more stuff about running servers to. At this time period I had to choose what I wanted to do after high school to, I wen't for IT-manager. Currently I'm almost at the end of thr first year (out of three). So to conclude all of this, Assassin's Creed Blag Flag actually made me choose what job I would choose to do later in life.

[@lubb213]

Twan Duvigneau Nice story m8. Very inspiring

[@swapnilgohil4327]

Twan Duvigneau Well almost the same happened to me, I did played far cry 3 and fifa 17 on my hd 4400 laptop but it isn't that playable. I have been researching for like 6 months now, I now know almost every new hardware and how it performs. I asked my mom to buy me but well she said NO! I'm crying now because all I searched was just a waste. A bit of twist in my story but still I'm broken now and in my country we can't work for more money(I mean even after working for hours you get some $20 a month and also the fact people don't need 11th graders to work for them). So be happy with what you already have because a lot of people just dream of having those things😭

[@twanduvigneau5809]

Knowledge is never a waste. My parents would give me some pocket money every month (every month I would get my age in euro's). But there where also other things I could get money from like my birthday and some other stuff :). Did'nt spend that much money in between buying my laptop and buying my PC. I guess I also had some luck on my side. One example my mother would not really trust me building a PC, but my father did.

[@twanduvigneau5809]

[@kas2388]

I think you're selling 6th gen *way* too short here. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Pikmin 2, Metroid Prime 2, and Metal Gear Solid 3 all strike me as quite a bit more impressive than the games that were shown on medium/low presets here (and the San Andreas PC port looks like hot garbage compared to PS2 or Xbox because it's such a lazy port).

If potatoes cost you 0.37$ then potatoes in UK are expensive...

I don't get the first point, they can be huge but price for pound/kilogram still exists (I don't know if u have some special price for bigger potatoes tbh). I thought that is price for pound/kilogram, this would be still easier than counting potatoes and divide it by price...

I finished STALKER for the first time with it. My system was AMD Athlon 2000+ processor and 768MB of RAM alongside this GPU.

Everything here seems to be under CRTL, I had one FX5200 ones, it ended up in smoke after a capacitor shorted it out just after the warranty had expired, and it also destroyed the AGP port on the motherboard.

Still got my FX5600. Just need to figure out the cooling solution, old fan is busted.

[@MakoRuu]

I remember my old FX 5200. I had to use a mod called Oldblivion to play Oblivion on low at 640x480.

Dude, look at these thicc AGP contact pads. 25p for that card probably would pay for itself in gold alone! Plus there's some gold in the gpu core itself, and also some copper in coils.

[@annetteluethy628]

some people complain about how their computer is slow and a "potato", this is literally worse than a potato. it's somehow cheaper. a lime is a little cheaper than this, but I live in belize so... limes are like $0.30 USD or $0.60 BZE

[@aletaris]

0.3 pents per potato is quite expensive, in my country it's almost 4 times cheaper

one of the only tech youtubers that reviews tech that you can afford.

[@totalrandomtechnolog]

Man, i remember that the 64bit version of the fx5200 was actually way worse than my overclocked Geforce 3 ti 200 128MB at the time. Even if stock it would beat it.

[@paolo705]

this was my first graphic card that my bro had on his pc back a long ago... that was pretty sick actually

[@ThiagoJaqueta]

This was my first Discrete Graphics Card. OHHH THE MEMORIES, I remember till this day, how happy I was to see NFSU and Quake 3 run smoothly for the first time :D

[@PaleandPastey]

I think you would have gotten better performance plugging in the potato.

[@nathanielphillips5727]

What about testing the Talos Principle? It runs on DX9 and it has a benchmark. And it's a great game.

[@Tehstroyer]

I tried to run TF2 on a netbook once, I think for some Steam Christmas sale event item or whatever. Pretty sure it actually runs better here.

[@TitelSinistrel]

I call BS on the Underground 2 FPS. I was running that game on an MX440, predecessor to the FX5200 and was getting much higher FPS and playing at 1024x768. You probably have AA or some other demanding setting on. I played that game A LOT. A friend of mine got the FX5200 when he updated his PC later, and that was running about the same as the MX440 with a bit more details from the shaders they introduced with that era. Nice video and channel BTW.

[@bombardier6033]

I have an FX5500 and that runs NFS Carbon at 1024x768 at around 30 fps on low settings.See if you can find one of those and compare it to the fx5200. maybe do an entire fx5000 series shootout

[@neilchatterjee1224]

You're right on the q6600 having a lot to do with the speed. In 2003 I ran a 5600fx (with 256mb ram - woo!) on a Northwood p4 2.67 and it sucked :( I couldn't even play halo at a decent speed. Within 6 months I got an ati radeon 9600xt, which was abou 30% faster.

[@kamil4151]

I so wanted this graphics card back then, like 15 or 16 years ago. My friend had it, and in my (first) PC I only had geforce MX440... those 64megs or ram was just the difference I needed to run Half Life smoothly... Though your processor is kind of overkill, we had like Pentium D's and Ahtlons/X2 back then. Well I only had Duron 1300.. :D
