$550 was out of reach for a high-end graphics card. We all miss those days.

Hey man quick tip. The CSGO benchmark you usually use seems to be cpu bottlenecked, and thats why it never usually scales with your overclocks that much. To fix that problem try to use a higher resolution like 1080p which should put more demand on the gpu which then should lower the cpu bottleneck and show scalimg with the overclock! :D good video as always.

That explains why I've been seeing similar results between a lot of different cards. I'll definitely run it in 1080p next time, thanks for the tip man 👍

My XFX 7950 is one of my favourite cards ever! Next in line is my 280x. FSR has also helped this card out massively making cyberpunk playable at 1080p low which is madness. I also play COD at 1080p low 60FPS as well. Great video thank you 🙏🏼

Always happy to see a fellow content creator also using a 3770k in their main PC like myself. These older Intel chips hold up a lot better than most people think, even at stock speeds. Plus it's the perfect bridge hardware, having support all the way back to Windows XP. Great video as always! Love these older cards. DX11 is still going strong, and the open-source mesa linux drivers / modded Windows drivers are both welcome to keep these machines more relevant (although in my experience driver support matters a lot less than DirectX support. I've very rarely run into situations where games won't run because of drivers, but have definitely run into more issues where games won't run because of D3D Feature Level support (or lack thereof). Of course, driver support does help ensure that games are taking full advantage of the hardware.

Awesome that you're still rocking a 3770K! It's a great CPU, especially when overclocked. It can lag behind a little in heavily threaded workloads, but still packs quite the punch in gaming. I've paired mine with a GTX 980 Ti and it's been a really nice combo. What card have you paired yours with?

Good video. I can verify several "smaller" GCN cards can be overclocked to the next tier. R5 240 -> R7 240, R5 430 -> HD 7750, HD 7770 -> r7 260x, r7 260x -> r9 270. The only card I can't push till the next tier was HD 7750 to HD 7770 becuase it lacks the extra 6-pin connector, even after pushing it to 1.3V and bumped up the power limit to 75W. All had FPS gains in excess of 20%. Oland cards had fps gains in excess of 30%.

I have this card!! I love it! It was a beast a few years back when i used windows and overclocked up to 1250 [MHz]. Handled itself phenomenally, running my modded skyrim and War Thunder without issues and the Sapphire Dual-X cooling kept it under 80C entirely. Thought with no overclocking capabilities on linux, ive recently decided to upgrade to a Sapphire RX580 but I will never be getting rid of my HD7950.

Still rocking an HD7790 a.k.a R7-260X, which is basically a halved HD7950. It's not a beast, not by a long shot, but it can throw punches with the 750Ti in certain titles and generally performs better than the 750 vanilla which isn't too bad at all.

The support for these GCN cards is ongoing in the Linux ecosystem, with some games performing significantly better than on Windows (with the same .exe)! If you're looking to expand your content with this card, consider doing some benchmarks utilising a distro like PopOS! Steam and Proton. You might be pleasantly surprised....

I love these old GCN cards, they come in really cheap everywhere. I just bought a Sapphire Nitro R7 370(R7 265/HD7850) 4gb for $55, way better deal than buying a GT 1030 for $60 especially since the 4gb vram helps on the games that I play. the GT 1030 doesn't even have a video encoder for some reason. though I am planning to buy an RX 580 once I get my Xeon E3 1230 v3 setup running in a few months.

@@mubindaghost eh I would stop at the 1070 part, the drivers and performance per watt of the 980Ti differs drastically from the 3050, and in most cases, the 980Ti outperforms the 3050 despite having slower onboard memory and a higher TDP. The 1070 also in most cases outperforms the 3050, and as someone who had a factory overclocked 1660Ti XC Ultra and had the pleasure of testing a 3050, the 1660Ti beat the 3050 in most games when not utilizing the lastest DX12 versions (including DX12 ultimate) and leaving off features such as DLSS (which is brilliant software) So yeah you could make that comparison but due to how many differences each card you listed has, I would compare it to a single generation successor and leave it there.

Half the games he benchmarked were 2018 or newer titles, with 2 of them being 2020 or newer. Phasmophobia: Released September 18, 2020. Monster Hunter World: Released January 26, 2018. Project CARS 3: Released August 28, 2020. And as for older games, Crysis is iconic and many people still use it for modern benchmarks even if it may be a bit obtuse to do so, and CS:GO is one of the most popular games released today, so it's fully relevant in the conversation. Your comment is moot.

Unfortunately the only game I own from 2021 or newer is Halo Infinite, so I felt that I needed to expand my library of the latest titles before testing with the NimeZ drivers. Even so, three of the games tested in this video were from 2018 or newer, and the older games (except CS:GO of course) had their settings cranked way up, so I still think that proves the card has been aging well. I will test the card with the NimeZ drivers and a very modern test suite in another video though. Appreciate the comment
