@@Pathos312 the nearly 600mm die size was absolutely nuts at the time , AMD basically gave up trying to compete with the high end at the time with there best offering the HD4870 trailing by 35% on average. they decided to target the upper mid range value market because they just didnt want to try to compete for the top spot.....

Yeah that and ancient laptops. Laptops in particular it gets really hard to sort things through just based on how much they vary from generation to generaiton compared to their desktop peers and it's especially hard to test because you can't just have a test bench and swap things through controlling for variables. This becomes more important when you've got people buying old used hardware for whatever reason.

I remember using a HD5870 in my main PC and a GTX 260 in my alternate system for friends until 2017. It played everything well enough until PUBG came out and games started using more vRAM.

I still have my R9 390x. Sitting in a box somewhere.

285 was my first gpu. Used it until I got a 970 6 years later. Great card.

I was on the 8800GT hype train, but I remember drooling over the 285 and 295 way back when, no doubt! Cheers!

The gtx 285 supported dx11? First time I ever heard of that

lmao you're lying The first video cards supporting directx 11 appeared only in 2010, and these were amd radeon HD5xxx and geforce GTX 4xx, but not gtx 285

Oh God lul, yeah I'd imagine. I've had some much older games where the vsync didn't work and for some reason Enhanced Sync didn't either, and so I was basically regulating my game's performance by just downclocking the GPU into something ridiculous like 0.9v and 1300mhz, and still getting almost engine breaking framerates at 1440p. I wonder how many other people have done that. Thank God for Adrenalin, being able to just set custom profiles for each game is incredible. I've got some that really push it. Meanwhile even Witcher 3, The Ascent, and Division 2 all get something like 85fps+ at all ultra settings. Very first thing I did was benchmark Ashes of the Singularity. And then it blackscreened lol. Spent a day trying to figure out which undervolt scheme to use until realizing I could just turn FreeSync off and it fixed the problem. It gives such crazy performance and is so overvolted from the factory I basically just leave it undervolted all the time and probably the only game I'm super looking forward to that'll tank at ultra is TotalWarhammer 3 (TWH2 even drops below 60fps occasionally).

I'm still running that card 165hz gaming stronk

Thank you for making mine! 😃 Always love to read these comments! Have a great day!

I have a 3060ti and I still watch cards I don’t have.

As I know 200 series had same chip as 9000 and 8000, probably top model chips from 8800 became mid to high for 200? I had 8800GTS (640 or something like that MB, not 512model but higher odd number one) and it played on top settings on display like yours except again on end levels it was getting down on FPS

8800GT @ 1024x768 on a lovely CRT monitor. Couldn't have asked for a better Crysis experience and went on to create a stellar map with the cryengine tools as well.

Turning up Crysis (same one) all the way in 1440 still takes a second or two for my 3080ti to settle in.

@@eleventy-seven The game is CPU heavy and unfortunately wasn't made to scale with hardware. Crytek assumed CPU just increase with core speed over time instead of multiple cores. So it's a game that will only ever utilize 2 cores in an era where many are 8 core. The game will forever be bottlenecked.

Its pretty funny that the CRT monitors people ditched in the mid to late 2000s are worth more now than the 1080p monitors they bought to replace them.

Thing is DXVK only works on cards that support it... In this case with GTX 280 it wont support it at all.

@@Killersnake432 Yeah, you have a good point and you are right, actually i've just given some mini advice for Zwormz for his newer GPUs (maybe for GTX 900+ series)..

I think there needs 190 or 2xx videodriver. I played like that in 2011 on gtx 460 on ultra, and has 60 fps+...with my feelings)

Exactly, I think they're perfect for people who only want to play csgo, valorant, dota 2, league of legends, games like that. They're usually pretty cheap and they consume less power than advertised, at least for the 750, it's more efficient than a 1030 somehow!

@@zWORMzGaming even I'm using 3070ti and 2060 at now, same opinion as what you're thinking for e-sports or really optimized game like GTA5, valorant. hope you'll review HD7700/7800 series or GTX745 :)

iGPU stills sucks donkey balls though. Like I was kept being told by how "great" APU's supposedly are now, and then I look at the benchmarks. :| It's playable in a sense sure, but even a GTX 770 from ages ago completely blows it out of the water. Moreso on Iris, Jesus Iris sucks. I don't think I'm taking iGPU too seriously until the new RDNA2 lineup. That might actually be powerful enough to properly game on. 720p low isn't what I'd consider "being able to play the game" especially when it's still in the 30s fps. 900p sure, maybe even 768p I could vaguely put up with on high and with good framerate results, but Vega 8 even is just shockingly bad unless it's really old. People talked about it like it was playing on a 970 or RX 570 or something.

@@pandemicneetbux2110 😂🤣

@@pandemicneetbux2110 wait what do you mean? Have you seen the Steam Deck? The AMD iGPU is decent and Iris Xe is very good. 720p gaming obviously but it's still pretty good for something on your CPU basically. What do you expect from something that small?

@@sweetsurrender815 I am saying that those bold claims about "iGPU is just as great as dGPU almost!" are copes or full of crap because I saw those benchmark reviews on things like Xe and it sucks AZZ compared to even a much much older graphics. Like, we're talking about comparisons to a dusty old laptop GTX alleged 770 tier, or a GTX 960m at best. I can't recall the stats correctly atm but basically it's a comparison between something doing 720p low settings on a brand new APU vs 1080p med-low settings on an old budget graphics card. I'm not saying 720p is bad on a small screen either obviously, wtf you need 4k on a handheld, but it's just that it's an apples and oranges thing to me. But then I am also guessing that's just because I actually used to game on just all CPU back when all the rich kids had some Voodoo whatever going on and we all had our Pentium II's. So, yeah, we're talking about playing triple A gaming on Pentiums type of memories. So if I can then go and say well here's your graphical accelerator card, and it's a 7700XT, and then here's your 13700k, or even just here's a GTX 980 vs a Zen4, and the now old af GPU is beating the tar out of the CPU then I can't really take that seriously. I'm not shitting on people on a shoestring budget mind you, nor on these advances, just that APUs got way more hype during the shortage than ever deserved, and now prices are stabilizing that even if you had a 5700g or something like that it makes sense to just spend a hundred bucks on some used graphics card.

@@pandemicneetbux2110 APUs we’re never designed to play triple A games at ultra high settings at 4k my guy, you are literally sacrificing CPU performance for the integrated gpu.

@@mxmobile5619 Thanks. I built a pc back in 2020 and it's more than capable, but I'll let my potato gamer friend know!

Ohhh ok it was this one. Yeah I couldn't remember if it was the GT 240 or whatever it was, but I do remember that tale, on how basically nVidia being nVidia tried to price gouge the fuck out of everyone and scam gamers as usual only their performance was so incredibly poor they got forced to slash the prices of their $650 flagship card to match the better performing AMD $400 card (my memory was something about AMD's $400 card being better than the $650 nVidia, thought it was 200 series). That kind of shenanigans is why despite wanting an nVidia I eventually decided to go with a 5700XT after seeing how it actually performed and realizing getting the 2070 super just for the SLI was stupid (way more stupid than I realized at the time, I did this in mid-2020 lol) and not wanting to get the lacking-SLI-2070, which many of nVidia's Turing cards just didn't look too good, not even the packaging gave a premium feel despite the price (MSI and EVGA were packaged like GI Joes iirc), and wanting a triple fan the only one that really appealed to me was the EVGA one but it cost over $600. So meanwhile the 5700XT Taichi was on sale for $430 plus $20 MIR so I could pay $160 more for the dualfan 2070s that also didn't look good, pay "only" $100 more for the featureless black brick Gigabyte, or get the ultra premium looking Taichi...and lose like 2fps at worst. Apparently it's at parity with 1080ti and 2070s. So the only other thing was RT, but performance was so abysmal on Turing you literally needed upscaling, and DLSS 1.0 was a complete joke. Really the more I learned what I was doing the more I realized nVidia's not just expensive because "it's better" anymore, it's just a scam, and even when it was actually "better" like Maxwell it was still a lawsuit worthy 3.5gb worth of scam. I also realized how much I was gaslighted by casuals because for instance I once blamed my sudden weird artifacting on a HD 7570 on "bad AMD drivers" only to realize it was because the fan was so clogged with dust it was overheating because the fan literally wasn't spinning. I cleaned it and worked fine again. I'm not denying AMD hasn't been the best but cmon, I'm going to be a lot less forgiving towards nVidia's bad drivers on a $1200 2080ti than a $350 AMD card, and it's clear to me nVidia does have driver issues, this generation more than AMD (RDNA2 didn't have driver problems but oh boy did Ampere have problems). Basically I just reached the epiphany I was being conditioned to think they had bad drivers so I'd blame any problem I ever had on AMD, despite the fact I've actually had 3 AMD discrete GPUs and their drivers were fine. Software used to suck, but so does nVidia's. Moral of the story, don't let the corpos gaslight you into paying more than what it's worth. Turing was already way overpriced back in 2019 and 2020, and the MSRP for Ampere was just nuts. They only got away with this because AMD didn't make a lot of really good high end cards for awhile, but now they do again, and people don't buy up the stack usually anyway and their lower end cards like 60's just flat out completely suck. Yes, the 3060 sucks. The alleged "RTX" 3050 mindblowingly sucks balls hard, at $360 on newegg, when a better perfoming RX 6600 costs like $250 despite the fact even a 3060 is typically slightly weaker than a 5700XT and none of those cards can properly do raytracing anyway because they're too weak. I called it in late 2020 too when I told people those TDPs were a worrying sign that pointed to feeling threatened by AMD, but I thought prices might be competitive HA. Now I look at the TDP of Lovelace and to me that's basically just like nVidia's already saying "it's over we lost." They'd do anything to keep AMD from taking the fastest halo product crown, because that's how they got people like me to rationalize buying a shitty x60 card, by wrongly associating that fast $2000 card with the overpriced 60 card. It also has to do with why they usually refuse to drop prices and instead focus on "features" like Hairworks and gaslighting people over talking about the actual raw performance, or getting people to rationalize paying $160 more "for the peace of mind of their drivers" when AMD's drivers are actually fine.

Damn if only we could get such price/performance today

I know it's always been kinda a buggy meme machine, but I really do wanna get an old af SLI system set up one of these days with the same appreciation as another guy might have for restoring a classic car or an antique gun. I think if I got ahold of someone's triple SLI I'd just refuse to touch it.
