I like the utilitarian design. Reminds me of the old graphics cards from the 90s and early 00s.

I find it's always best to pair these older graphics cards with monitors that are 1366x768 native and not to use 1080p or higher resolution monitors. That way the 720p settings look a little better due to pixel density.

It's really interesting with the more "off the cuff" commentary rather than the more polished script you usually use. It's great to see your thinking in real time about what settings to use, and the honest surprise to the card's performance. Good video. Edit - pretty sure Roach is a girl (I think every horse Geralt takes on is a girl and he calls each Roach for simplicity, but happy to be corrected)

I had a R7 370 2Gb for like 4 years and a friend of mine is still using it now. Dont really know how much difference there is between it and the 360 bit still does what we need. Love the videos and older hardware

Looks to be roughly equivalent to a Vega 7 iGPU in a 5600G. Performance was pretty good for a 2015 entry level card.

This card (well it was a Gigabyte R7 360 OC) was my first GPU. It was either this, an Rx460, or a GTX 550ti. Ive still got it running in a secondary computer 7 years later. Its good to see that it is still somewhat capable in this day and age!

Been using this card ever since it first released back in 2015. I wouldn't ever recommend anyone picking it up now, and I only just recently did somewhat of an upgrade to the R9 380. That being said, the card holds up surprisingly well. Don't ever expect it to run any newer games, say 2019 and upwards, but for games from around its time, at low settings it can produce a decent framerate, and responds really well to overclocking.

A comparison against the 750 ti would be nice, or even some other comparisons from back in the day like 480 vs gtx970

While using Nimez Drivers you can also enable Resizeable Bar/SAM on these older cards. Might squeeze out few more fps in VRAM heavy games.

Surprised you found the one with DP instead of a VGA output. Usually these came with VGA, DVI, HDMI.

Excellent review as always. I've been considering getting a Radeon card from this era, as a collectors item and to experiment with hardware.

I'm liking the consistent uploads gives me stuff to watch while I should be doing homework 😅

I run this bad boy on my minecraft server

I had an identical spec Acer PC as the HP prebuilt you got, impressive performance for what I paid; $300 canadian on clearance at staples which when I got it was a fantastic deal.

what I like about this card is it's a GCN 2.0 card which has full DX12(12_0) support which is probably why the R7 360 runs better in modern titles compared to my R7 370 which is only a GCN 1.0 but technically has more horsepower

Have a R7 360 (mine has two fans and is a little fancier looking) still after all these years. It is in the backup pc and still works surprisingly well as you have detailed! Guess that $85 bucks 7 years ago was a pretty good deal better than I thought it would be at the time!

I bought an RX 550 from Ebay to upgrade my old PC that had ran with an old HD 4670 for far too long. I was quite pleased. The performance per dollar bros don't want you to know that a playable gaming experience is more than half as good as an experience with double the pixels.

I've got a HP GTX 1050 that come out of a Omen machine that looks identical to this

I have an RX 470 4GB card, and I recently installed Hogwarts Legacy. I can tell you, FSR saves the day. In the beginning of the game it ran the shader config, ran a quick benchmark and used the recommended settings. It certainly looks like mud for me a lot of times, but if I wait and stand in one place for a few seconds, the textures are loading up properly and it looks incredible. It's true that I've installed it on a 75% health HDD (wih quite a few bad sectors) instead of SSD and I can clearly see that sometimes that's contributing to slower loading assets. All in all, if it was not for FSR, I wouldn't be able to play the game, and I was a huge Harry Potter fan in my childhood, and since I've avoided all spoilers before, didn't see any videos, didn't know what to expect, and I can tell, I'm in love with the game. I started playing at 7PM to see what it looks like, the next moment I checked the clock, it was 3AM 😁

Would you consider doing a video on using multiple graphics cards? It'd be quite interesting to see how viable an option it is these days, even if it does have to be aimed at slightly older games

I really like the visuals of cyberpunk2077 with these settings. Looks like a 20 years old vintage legendary game.

I have the XFX model of the R7 360 this model includes a 6 pin which definitely helps for overclocking it which helps so much.

I was running one of these in 2015 at 900p, impressed me back then and seeing it do surprisingly well these days is impressive for being a cheaper card

Keep up the work man!

just bought this card, thx wanna test it myself :)

One of these was my gpu for the longest time until I moved out and got a gaming laptop as it's more convenient at this point. For whatever reason on the most recent drivers, the screen recording would not work no matter what, so I had to back it up a few versions. Other than that, it's a gem. Not sure what the problem ever was. Now it's set up as the family computer for my sister to use 😄.

I love your videos, have since years ago. It would be awesome if you also overclocked all the stuff you review a bit (doesnt have to be to the limit), just a quick OC. Have a great day :D

Did you ever consider Euro Truck Simulator 2 as a benchmark? I find that it runs quite good on low end hardware because of the many settings you can use, such as render resultion and DirectX settings! Would be interesting to see for me, but I don’t quite know if many people would find such a game interesting:)

It's amazing how much you can squeeze from old hardware with custom software.

Unexpectedly good results, and worm free!

I upgraded my GTX 750ti to an MSI R7 260x back in the day. It was a surprisingly capable card for the price point.

I am still using one of these R7 360 in my HTPC w an AMD Athlon II X4 and as I use it for mostly video playback it meets me modest needs very well.

The Witcher 3 suffers from an issue called "shader compilation stutter" where it basically compiles shaders in real time as the game is running. This is, to my knowledge, entirely dependent on the CPU and even a 13900K shows stutters in these games. This is only something that can be fixed by the developers with something like a long shader compilation on the first game launch. Also you forgot Doom Eternal 😀.

I have had that card for ages, only upgraded in 2021. It did run well on most less-demanding games at 720p/1080p. However if you wanted to play anything more demanding it was really bad.. I played ARK with it and it did not go well but I enjoyed the game so much that I just continued to play despite the horrible framerate.

maybe do a video on the twin frozr r9 270x 2gb... seems like a good budget card

I like the cut back simplicity of it.

I'd like to see you try out more realistic games for the cards age like 2010 dx9 titles

Do you think you will make a update video on the Arc A380?

The 750 Ti competed with the R7 260X but after AMD's driver improvements it pulled ahead, making the 260/360 the 750 Ti challenger, but with higher DX12 features(DX12_0 level compared to GM107's DX11_0).

I bough one 1 year ago, for around 60€ as I needed a GPU to put on a system and sell it, it run surprisingly well, it was an Asus version so it looked like a proper card 😁

Harry potter part reminds me of an old lowspecgamer video when he made the evil within to look like ps2 port of that game

Impressive - given this (today) would be installed in a ultra budget pc and using maybe a sub 1080p display (those old ewaste lcds) you could still play something supporting fsr on lower resolution and not notice it so much.

Wow. That cyberpunk result is pretty amazing

We gamers on a strict budget appreciate all your videos thank you

You need a patreon, my dude. I actually looked for you and was disappointed that I could not find one

7:25 There is a secondary quest in B&W where Geralt can temporarily speak with Roach where he's suprised about Roache's gender himself

And can you do an intel arc pro a40 video? Would be interesting seeing a single slot 6gb arc card

Terrible looks? I'm not sure about that. At least it looks like graphics card and not a console (the 4090 is as big as the Series X). ;) I have a sentiment for the basic design from the 2000s. And I also like when you can actually see the PCB, I enjoy seeing all those tiny components.

Where did you find the custom driver? I appreciate it.

Amazing video as always, continue doing this. Made my day had had me die laughing

That was an exceptional performance in CP2077, a 0.1% low above 30 FPS is insane for such an old card. Those custom drivers seem to be bringing the most out of the card. Turning off SSAO if possible in SpiderMan Remastered would probably help the frame rate too.

I had one of these for a few years I used it as a back up for me and other family members and it surprisingly hold up well, better than the GTX 750 but a little less than the rx 460. I sold it in a spare part pc last year on fb market with a i7 2600 the new user also was surprised and used it!

I have one of these in the Linux box I built. I also have a 750 ti, would be interested to see a head to head comparison.

Wow this is pretty impressive how well it held up

It’s giving those serious early 2000 aesthetic vibes

Tbh I’ve been fortunate enough over my 25+ years of gaming to be able to purchase higher end gpus such as Nvidia 70/80/80Ti / Radeon 580/6700XT gpus and have loved my high fidelity graphics and quality settings ….. but I do appreciate seeing these more entry level budget gpus even at lower quality settings etc for builds for my nephews PCs and family/friends who only play e-sports or older titles such as OG Skyrim etc and need a cheap GPU to get by. I’ve actually played some more recent titles, at varying times, over the past few years at lower settings and still enjoyed a title which has a good story line.

love the channel but i have no idea how you got that working in rdr2, i cant run it on my laptop that has a laptop rtx2070 gpu

As always....great video. This is 2 or 4 gb? Cheers from Chile

I put custom drivers as well but some games very low fps in valaront as well

You said a while ago that you ordered a Steam Deck. Any update on that?

A10 7800 with that gpu, do u think it will be a great combination?

This was my secret go to card for turning an old office PC into a decent gaming computer for cheap. I hope this doesn't drive up ebay prices, hehe.

Very interesting. I dont understand why it doesnt have a external 6pin. I have an r7 360 from sapphire, and it has a 6pin and draws something like 100w under load. Its was marketed against the 750Ti but performed a bit better, so i went with it. It turned out it actually dont in most titles. The 750Ti is just better supported by games apparently and drivers has been really iffy most of its life. Theres still issues with GPU scaling in AMD drivers, and its a shame, since it seems like it will keep running reliably for a long time

@Randomgaminginhd I need an advise plz. What graphics card shall I put with i5 4460, 8gb RAM?

From what I understand. The card is a renamed hd 7790/a variant of the r7 260x. It was supposedly a bit worse than the GTX 750ti while its brother the HD 7850/r7 265/r7/r9 370 was a bit faster than the 750ti but with higher power consumption I have the exact same board design on an HP GTX 1050. It's a slight irony that the"green team's" card has a red PCB. It has the same display outputs with the only difference that the DVI port is DVI-D and not DVI-I. If you search online for hp GTX 1050 you will see the similarity

I love red PCBs for some reason. Of course nowadays, you don't get to see any PCB of any color. I like the new styles too though.

This channel is the antidote to any upgrade bug you may have….. Should I upgrade to 13th Gen & 4000 🤔…. Meanwhile on the r7 360, a great time is being had somewhere. Really puts things into perspective.

not gunna lie when i saw it play cod at 60fps avg, i was kind of surprised i might buy one for a small pc build im planning :)

I bought an rx460 that is basically the same board and heat sink/fan set up. Cost me 40 dollars shipped. Should have ordered a couple more. Great value as the rx460 is still supported.

have you tested hogwards on the 750ti? i'd like to see how much of a competitor the 360 is.

these things are great for business systems for multi monitors

The R7 260x was my first GPU and has a solid place in my personal PC history

You can enable sam on this card with a registry change.

You had the VRAM maxed out almost at all the games. The card is capable of a stable 30fps, but with a little more of memory available

This is my special device i have in my sock drawer. 0:05

When benchmarking (assuming Riva/AB) how does your loading and deaths not affect the 0.1% - I benched marked SotTR and got a decent framerate etc but the 0.1% starts high near 10FPS (avg 60//min 1/max 62/1% 50/0.1% 2.9) every time I pause to view an object it lows the FPS but the gameplay is smooth.

Looks like Frankenstein if you ask me :D cool

Wow.. So what cpu is this best paired with and what should one pay for this card? Always looking for an affordable way to eventually build a pc for my nieces.

I can't recall which brand offhand, but I'm running a R7 360 2GB too. Kind of cool to see it can actually still play a bit if paired with a modern CPU. Mine is paired with a CPU of it's time, the FX-8350, so it's not a monster gaming PC for sure. ;-p Luckily for me I only play old games so it's just fine.

A shocking showing from the r7 360, hats off to the the driver maintainers.

When you are not able to choose and you have to select based on the money I think this is a good choice. BTW the GTX 1050 OEM looks the same. i keep confusing them 😅

Looks like my asus HD 7750 with the shroud removed :)

I suppose in some cases FSR stands for Fully Strained Retinas....

The look reminds me of my 512mb Palit 8600GT I had, back in the day. I think I saved up a whopping £90 for that bad boi.

I have the RX460 OEM and works great too.

..or maybe more about TEAM GREEN and their view on drivers for OLDer GPUs?

Have u found the more rare r9-360? Its cost around 60$ in my country

Elden Ring at 720p low settings looks like how I'd imagine it would have been like were it released in the 360/PS3 days.

I have an old 6770 1gig by xfx (i guess oem one) It runs 98°c due to the shit cooler I Wonder if theses drivers can help

It looks somewhat like my 1050 ti that I had in my previous computer. Alienware R7

I remember a time where if your graphics card had a fan, you had one badass system.

Cyberpunk has turned out to be such a great game in the end! As far as performance is concerned it runs on a lot lower spec hardware than I thought could be possible, by a lot!

As long as it works, it's a good design

The R7 370 has 4gb models. Try one of those next imo.

I bought a used R7 360 in early jan 2020. Right before the pandemic for only $25 locally. It served me well for about 4 months. Played HUNDREDS of hours of GTAO on it at med-highish 1080p. Also played like 25 hours of vermintide 2 on it. Never had an issue with it. Once the u.s. govt sent out the first wave of stimulus checks i bought an eVGA 1650 Super for only $160 (this was like weeks before all gpus were sold out or doubled in price) I managed to sell my 360 for $40. Got a few hundred gaming hours out of it and turned a $10 profit lol.

The Witcher looks similar to valheim with the video settings you had

did you use custom drivers?

Does Hogwarts require to restart the game for changes to apply? Or perhaps it's the "Material Quality"

At first i thought, that it would be impossible to use a card this slow, but then i remembered that my GPU is about as fast as this one 😅 I just don't notice because I've gotten used to playing older games.

Always cool to see these old cards hanging in there. Still irritated and dropped official support for them since modders who are doing it for free are managing just fine
