This may be the worst card I've ever tested
DISCORD: / discord
Today we'll be taking a look at the AMD HD 7470, focusing on benchmarks and its practicality in 2023. Spoiler alert: this card is very underpowered for modern-day applications, as this card sports only 1gb of GDDR5 for gaming. I was able to, launch, and kinda successfully play counter strike global offensive (csgo), dishonored, Valorant, Borderlands 2, Beamng drive and RUST. Realistically, this card would be best suited for an older system, or low-end system, but may still have some usage as a budget graphics card.
Although the graphics card in question is the hd 7470, much the same can be said about the rest of the low end graphics cards in the HD 7000 series, such as the 7350, 7450, 7510, 7570 and the 7670. These lower-end cards were mostly intended to be used as a display adapters, and gaming on these entry-level models prooves difficult. All these cards lack support for direct x 12 and encounter similar issues regarding modern compatibility. Additionally, the 7470 has 1gb of vram, while many other cards from the time period had 128mb , 256mb , or 512mb, so at least it has that going for it.

This is a $9 graphics card that ill be overclocking far past its limit. Its the hd 7470 and its basically a display adapter that was never intended for gaming but, I was able to get a fair few to run. So stick around to figure out how I did it, and if you should to.
To provide some context this card came in 2012 as part of the HD 7000 series that competed with nvidias gtx 600 GPUs. But the 7470 wasnt built with performance in mind. Its an OEM card, and shipped in prebuilt systems as a display adapter. Even when it was new it wasnt powerful and was never intended for gaming, but with the power of overclocking it might run them slightly less terribly.
I got this card in a lot of 31 gpus I paid $90 for, so the card cost me about $3. And to put it nicelyt, it has a lackluster amount of power. The Caicos processor it uses only has 160 shading units, along with 8 TMUS, 4 ROPs, 2 compute units, and a core clock of 750mhz. But at least it came with a full gigabyte of gddr5 memory, which runs at 900 mhz. So, gaming, or really doing anything beyond displaying a video is going to be a disappointing experience.
But its not all bad. The 7470 does support direct x 11, so it can probably start most modern games. It also only has a 27 watt tdp with no external power connectors, so you can throw it into just about any system without getting a new power supply. The video outputs are decent as well, and it comes with one DVI and one DisplayPort version 1.1.

Now I wasnt able to find alot of prebuilts that used the 7470, but I did find this one. It has quad core a8, 8 gigs of ram, and the aforementioned graphics card. It seemed normal, but one guy was not happy with his purchase, stating that he received the mobile edition of the card. But, the picture it shows a dedicated GPU, not a mobile chip soldered on the motherboard. So either hes a little confused, or theres someone out there soldering mobile chips on a dedicated pcb. Either way, something seems a little off.
The test system well be using has an i3 4130, 16gbs of ram, and windows 7 running on an SSD. None of it is particularly powerful but anyone whose going to be using this card isnt going ot be pairing it with the latest i9.
Couldn't fit the rest bc of character limit
