I Bought 25 Untested Graphics Cards For £50 ($70)...

- I placed a bid on a "job lot" of untested graphics cards on eBay, and before I realised I had won they turned up at my door. Today we're going to take a look at what's inside this mystery package full of possibly faulty GPUs.

8:37 I like how the nVidia card had green line artifacts, while the AMD card had red line artifacts that went perpendicular to the nVidia ones.

Ohhh was hoping to see that 5970 working :(
I bought one a few months ago and it was also broken, maybe it's for the best, crossfire is always a pain 😅
Yeah hopefully I’ll revive it with a heat gun or something, even if it works for just an hour or so 😂
My two favourite RUclipsrs!!!
I just bought one too! €35.. I had some issues with it losing image when I was trying to play GTA V and Cyberpunk wouldn't even start... but I'll try it again on a clean install and different hardware, maybe it helps :)
if you hope they work they will always be dead when you think there broken for some god reason it will run better then ever
how did they turn up without you realising you had won the auction, before you paid...?
Wow a GPU in stock
Wow a broke boi without decent pre-order mindset
Always hasn't been

Your comment, pfp and name are like time capsules from last year.
Owh, i think it's Joe :(
I absolutely love how UK youtubers have this intentional "low budget" feel that becomes their charm and "thing". Like Ashens, guy has over million of subs and he just reviews random stuff on his sofa, just brilliant.
I love Ashens’ videos!
@@RandomGaminginHD me too, he's amazing
Everytime I watch RG vids , I think about Ashens and the sad onions.
New channel name: RandomUnboxingInHD
Damn
it might become a separate channel if he continues too do this
Well, channel used to be interesting back few years ago, he is clearly out of ideas... Not that much viewers aswell.
@@voicecrackerman5307 Yep
im down
Mom , can we have a 6800xt?
No, we have a 6800xt at home.
6800xt at home: 2:14
im sure there is a gamer that asked exactly this and got the old 6800xt as a present!
John wick let’s collaborate on a future movie you’ll star in.
seller : that's the OG version kido 😏
It would actually be a funny joke to give this old card to a gamer for his birthday
Just put it on ebay and see the prices go UP... If the buyer complains, just tell him he got a 6800xt!
If there's one thing I've learned from eBay it's that if someone says something is untested it usually means they know it's fucked and just want to get rid of it.
Yes you're actually saving them the cost of paying for WEEEaway disposal - anyone with 50 graphics cards to sell is probably a business that is more than capable of testing them.
i bought an untested xbox 360 that was only fucked because it was full of dust and because the disc tray belt was fucked. its now fixed and being sold
On an individual basis, 50/50 shot.
With batches of items, it's either somebody cleaning out their garage, or they purchased stuff at auction and are just flipping it.
I've been pretty lucky, in that i've only gotten totally screwed a couple of times.
then i just turn them into shelf decorations. lol.
@@Dedubya- capable?, maybe, but is it worth it?
For a business, setting someone down and testing this many cards would be the better part of a day, for maybe a few dollars.
The emphasis being 'maybe'. Unless all the cards sell, you could be out more in labor cost.
I've got a couple boxes of gpus i've accumulated over the years, and i wouldn't even bother trying to test all of them if i was going to sell on ebay.
And i do have the ability to test every one. It's just not worth it, financially.
Got an "untested" motherboard. Took a punt and discovered 2 socket pins just needed straightening. All good!
2:06
Bro, you got a 6800xt for £2!
Lol
He could sell it on Ebay for like $7,000 like everyone else is hah, jokes.
@@thephoenixking1086 and because it is technically a 6800xt, eBay wouldn’t make him refund 🤣
I was just about to comment that xD
Beat me to it *cries*
Exactly!
I bought my first guitar for £25 on ebay. It was 6 cm long, which I wasn't aware of until the package arrived.
Yoooo it's tux

If it works it was worth it tho :D
Oh boo hoo, let me play a sad song on this tiny guitar
Something fairly similar happened to me i accidentally bought 25 kids ill be testing the performance tommorow
do GIVEAWAY!!!
Wtf lol

The oven trick sounds like the old Xbox 360 ring of death, "wrap it in towel" technique.
Probably works as well too.
@Larry Bundy Jr for Xbox 360 tricks, it's probably more of the open case use hair dryer on motherboard components.
yeah its kind of the same concept, just sort of a cheap and iffy way of reflowing bga chips. Most people don't use any flux or add new solder, but if it works, it can be ok. Most of the components can handle heat, but I never like heating up capacitors.
it does!
lol i actually stuck forks in the fans of mine after repasting to fix it...worked for another 8 months
2:20 he finally found a 6800XT! Wow, what a lucky guy! Have fun playing Cyberpunk with RT on!
Sophie: what are you doing with oven?
*RandomgaminginHD with a oven tray full of gpu's*: nothing
What do you got there?
A smoothie.
"accidentally bought 25 untested graphics cards" yeah man i always hate when that happens it happens every time
3:36 One thing I love about Quadro GPUs are these designs, they're so nice!
2:15 now you can say you got a 6800xt and everyone will believe you
haha yeah good point
@@RandomGaminginHD wow i cannot believe you replied im so happy
@@RandomGaminginHD Lol you could make a video titled "6800XT on a budget"
Stewie don't put your tongue up his pipe
@@PeterGriffin-vn3us what if I do?
Man I really love your work. You make the videos so much fun and welcoming, that I feel like I am having a chat with my friend or someone familiar. My comment has no other point than expressing my very positive opinion about your channel. Keep it up. We love you
super wholesome, can't wait for the follow up videos going more in-depth, some great tech history right here!
Thanks :)
Would love to see more of this content, along with some repair attempts!
Damn I feel so old, I remember looking and dreaming to have those GPUs in PC Magazines and now they're almost trash tier. 😭
Anything under a 380 is pretty bad for today's standard, the 480 is already 4 1/2 years old, let that sink in lol
@@fran2911 *rx
@@OutOfRangeDE well duh..
@@fran2911 how old is the 750ti gddr7?
Wasnt watching ur videos in a long time, now coming back to it. Love it!
gd to have u back...u are my number one budget pc hardware benchmark channel
7:01 that card is a fx 5200, says it right on the pcb actually above the cooler & on the sticker on top of the what I'd guess is the s-video port.
ah thanks, my terrible eyes missed that haha
@@RandomGaminginHD The numbers on the sticker (9105210434) apparently mean that it's an AOpen branded card.
i used an fx5200 on my Pentium 4 :D good old days! gave me a solid 99 fps in cs 1.6.
It's more like printing than a sticker.
Wasn't that card infamous for being pretty crappy? The 200 in its name implies it already, but back then there was a great leap in video game graphics and if you wanted to play any new games the lower-tier cards were a very bad idea.
I just bought one of those 780s. I thought it was faulty at first as I couldn't get any display on an x570 or b450 board even with csm enabled. I tested it on an old fm2 board and it worked perfectly. I changed the vbios on the card to one that supports UEFI boot and it's working perfectly on the newer boards now. It's quite a respectable performer for the price too!
I appreciate all the work you put into your videos man, keep up the good work!
You really got the best PC content here. So many interesting ideas, realistic challenges.. Awesome.
Just about to jump in the shower, then saw this uploaded.
I've got my priorities straight.
Don't jump in the shower! Sounds like a miserable way to go
Slippery when wet. You're right, better sit in front of a pc than lying in the hospital...
Don't shower, think of the fish, they need the water more than you
Wow, you watch RandomGaminginHD while showering? - You're dedicated!
So wholesome that your sister makes merch, i like that
Wow! I have to say I'm impressed with the production quality of this video. Keep up the good work!
Love that you went all out on this 😂 but DUDE! I forgot to tell you congrats on 400k Subscribers that is absolutely sick, you'll be at 500k in no time...your sister is awesome btw for making merch for you so shoutout to Sophie
Damn you scored big! A 6800XT is like $1000!
Looking forward to the "6800XT" Review
Great video mate! I love how you can unbox some random GPU from the 2000s and instantly tell what it is, it's really impressive. Anyway, keep up the great work, Cheers.
I'm so glad i stumbled upon this channel, it's become my favourite tech channel right now.
Ah... the legendary 8800 GT
I love it 😁
I bought a gtx 980 about a week ago, it arrived today and it's amazing! One of the reasons I bought it was because of your videos! Thank you! :)
I've just rebuilt my rig and now have 2 980ti's to sell there great cards for 1080p. Don't want to scare you but make sure you save all the drivers and maybe get the back catolog of them nvidia tend to start fading out support for card over 6 year old and you nearly there I'm afraid.
@@martinblanch5828 yup, I know that, but at least I'll still be able to use it...
@@martinblanch5828 thanks for letting me know! :) , although I dont think they will phase them out for another 2 years because they are great performing cards and alot of people still use them
I'd love to see videos on all the savable ones!! The process the struggle etc.. And even a video of the fails xD
Wow,my favourite stuff!!!
Keep on,mate!!!
Love those 8800 coolers, myself - got the ones of the type you showed last...
Man this guy is so chill and generally looks like a nice guy. Man i like people like him
7:55 the poor capacitor on the card on the right
This is great! I cannot wait to see all these videos' to come! :)
Way to go. Looking forward to the future vids.
Very well done camera woman.
Just don’t use the oven method with an oven you cook actual food in, you don’t want to give yourself lead poisoning. The heatgun method could work as well
Absolutely, and the fumes would be quite toxic too.
I want to give myself lead poisoning. Thank you for the suggestion
No lead from any recent board (ROHS compliance), but many nasty stuff you don't want in your kitchen oven anyway
@@marco56702 yup part of the reason we have to even bake or heat gun cards is due to non lead based solder, doesn't last as long through hot/cool cycles.
There is no lead in modern electronics.
Reminds me of an Only Fools And Horses scene
Del: They're not ordinary lawnmower engines
Rodney: Yeah?
Del: No, they've broken lawnmower engines
I haven't been about to watch your videos recently but smashing job on getting verification lad. Big up!
Thank you for your content. Would love to see what happens next after the oven method. Cheers!
Next video:
"My video card addiction!"
Your sister is awesome, my sisters would never help me film.
Dude I love that Ghost Recon 8800 GTS, I was trying to remember what game that was, went and looked it up and I was right. What a cool video, thank you for making it, your channel is one of my favorites!
look forward to seeing how you get on, and how well you do selling the ones you do end up selling. I believe from watching other videos the theory of the baking them in the oven is to re-solder any dry joints on the pcb, not sure if it will fix the chips on the pcb themselves hence it being hit and miss as to if it works.
I don't mind long videos as long as they are fun like this one
0:55 The Box (video part)
Me: EEE OOO
Oh boy, you're stepping it up a notch and getting lots now.
An interesting bunch, hopeful for the next video where you will likely test their performances and such.
2:30 I have that exact card in my XP gaming rig. Bought it for 20e.
I think i have one as well in my fathers Pc...with a core 2 duo :)) good enough for Yt..
@@Szilagyicsabaistvan Nice
Did you say gaming rig? lol Nostalgia is great (～￣▽￣)～
Full XP gaming rig.
5:54 it's pronounced "DDR4 GT10thiddy”
So...a journey it is then! :D Good luck getting these to work :)
I really appreciate this channel...makes me feel good about my old hardware.

No! It will always be Cameraman Woman
Well technically it's correct, since the man in cameraman actually means human and not a male human.

RandomDiscodServerInHD?
me watching the video on 144p and still don't even have a card lmao
Looking forward to the end result of the whole box and all the bits in between :)
Honestly this is lovely, maybe you could stream some of that testing (RUclips/Twitch)? I would call that session "RandomGraphicsIntheAfternoon".

Next week "I build a mining rig...."
Always so much care with the viewers time, what a G
Looking forward to the results!
No wonder why there's gpu shortages 🤣
This is cool, I clicked so fast
So many video card memories in one video, even though seeing AGP cards makes me feel ancient!
Such a shame that the 5970 isn't working, that card was a monster when it first came out!
2:24 what a steal, the undercover RDNA 2 card
Watching your videos reminds of the days when I first got into PC gaming this was around the time of HL2. I remember not realising you needed an Nforce board to run SLI and had to make an embarrassing return to my local PC shop. If you can find an Asus P5N-SLI board that should be a good pair with the Quadro's.
I want a full hour of per card gameplay and repair video!!! That would be great! :D
Really excited for videos to come after these many older GPUs in older titles to see how they hold up
2:06 OMG I had that one! Had the AGP XFX one with the green translucent fan! that was a beast of a card...
When you get those artifacts/bands on cards, do you try all the ports as well as spraying into them with Deoxit or some other electronics cleaner? Sometimes it is just the connector, I find especially with DVI ports this can happen.
very nice content, please keep it up!
just when i thought i couldnt watch anymore older gpu content this actually catches my interest on pont! lol.
can we see the oven method filmed please? i have a few gpu i want to try it on as a last resort to maybe save them from the scrap pile
I love seeing all these old GPUs getting some attention, I own a XFX HD4870 that I bought back in 2009 right at the Crysis era.
THE BEST TECH RUclipsR I KNOW, YOU'RE MY FAV DUDE!!
Good video I'm looking forward into next one.
I'm officially jealous! Nice find!
I Can't wait to see how you use those Quadros, I don't know much about them.
Oh man, I might find one of these too haha. Beautiful Shelf art to be sure.
I think the Firepro's fan might be recoverable, sounds like a typical sleeve/journal bearing. Chances are that you can pull it right off the bearing with a little bit of work, clean up the old gunk and stick some grease in/on it. I've personally noticed that sleeve bearings that are in that condition are typically willing to come off their socket with not too much force. It's worth a try for a fan that would otherwise be replaced, right?
Under my main PC resting place (still a beast 2 years later) rests a magical setup that includes a Core2Duo E8500 resting inside the 775 socket of an EVGA nForce 750i SLI and my beloved GTX 260 with a whopping 2 GB of that famous purple label DDR2 ram at an astonishing 800 mhz. This particular setup still holds a Sound Blaster audio card from the times before, slotted in a PCI slot. This setup holds so much sentimental value and is dripping of classic PC so hard I can't possibly bear to do away with it. How many of us remember being able to barely run Crysis with the hacked DX10 setting not that long after the game released? The nostalgia alone is worth a whole lot more than money could ever account for.
Ok i think this is the video that we all want, pt 2 ASAP pls
I LOVE THIS NEW VIDEO FORMAT!!
2:16 woah you actually managed to get your hands on a 6800XT?! incredible
Around 3:55 you say something about the metallic fan, and I immediately think about my old Hercules 3D Prophet 9700 Pro, with its copper fan. Sadly, when I looked for it and found it, I found out it's just a plastic fan with copper-coloured paint... I absolutely love the aesthetic though!
Oh man I have a 8800 GTX with the same cooler as your GTS, and it even works. My old workplace just had it sitting around and they allowed me to take it. At the moment it's just the best ever shelf decoration. It's just too nice to have an iconic card like this
Nice video bro, can't wait for the next one.
"Defenders of the gaming world"
Haha that's an amazing tagline 😂
