Not worth it. Back in the time even if it was supportet you didn´t get more than 560ti levels out of it. Every 7850 will eat it for breakfast. Thats without the Problem that not every 7750 did come with the connector for the crosfire bridge
The 7750 is one of the rare cards that does not require a bridge, when paired with a matching 7750... It only needs one when paired unmatched with a 7770, etc.
Not sure in which scenario this card can worth 20 bucks. Its outperformed by a vile Ryzen 2200G, which Is an IGPU.. and you can buy It for 30 bucks ? right now. If you hace already an old working system, no sense to keep wasting money in obsolete hardware. If relatively knew, well, buy a proper card.

A mate of mine had one of these in his "covid-special" pc (you know, built with the cheapest components in a shiny box) and I figured it was just going to be another GT710 type card but I was stunned how well it played his games (mostly gta5). I've got a soft spot for them now.
The early days of GTA5 I managed to run it on outdated cards but eventually the game got patched and with each 2nd or 3rd patch the performance was worse and worse to the point I lost few cards and eventually we all quit playing GTA5 anyway. Today I bet you need some silly high end CPU with 30+ RAM and some electricity hog of a GPU just to run it on mid settings ... Didnt touch that garbage in years, it was unplayable even back then. Usually people who say things like there is nothing wrong with PC games are blind or massochists or combination of both. There are always some issues and performance drops that basically can fry your eyes and brain.
@@minmogrovingstrongandhealthy Not sure why you posted this as a reply to my post. If you need to know how well GTAV runs on low end hardware, watch zWORMz Gaming. He regularly shows GTAV running just fine on low-end systems. Or not, up to you.
This wasn't actually that far off from the 900 series. GCN1 was what the last gen was based on, and GCN1 was competing with Kepler and Maxwell. (Yes, the Switch is Maxwell. That's because the TX1 was already old when they made the Switch, so that one is basically 10yr old tech still being manufactured rn.
@@zxcvb_bvcxz If you think that is ancient you must be young. For me it's just a few years ago. Ancient has to go back at least to like Riva TNT cards and Voodoo and ATI Rage. And even that can mostly be called old instead of ancient.
I always perfer high settings over frame rate. Even with my GTX 1070, I always use the highest settings and go for a 30 fps target. You were talking about how some people think anything below 60 is unplayable, but even paying $100 for my GPU a little back I am completely fine with 30 fps.
I play games like Fortnite and Minecraft with shaders at around 30-45 frames a second anyway (GTX 1060). I too prefer high settings and fancy visuals over framerate a hundred percent of the time. I'm even so used to it that when my FPS actually goes higher than 60 in Fortnite, I actually perform WORSE at the game xD
Great video, GCN proves its longevity once again. It's definitely showing its age, but a lot of GCN cards are far from unusable today. Even AMD cutting off the driver support couldn't stop these cards 💪
Good to see you return to RUclips and that performance from that card really wasn't bad at all given the price! Even if not for their main system, I can see people wanting to build an older system for slightly older titles have no problems at all with this card. I wouldn't recommend it for modern gaming though as I'm pretty sure the box said it was DX11 only, and a lot of modern titles need DX12.
As far as I can tell VTX3D was a brand owned by TUL, the same company that owns the PowerColor brand, VTX3D as a brand was shut down about 7 years ago.
Hey! I love the HD7750! Have a half-height low profile version of the Sapphire card, absolute little trooper took me from all minimuims in a lot of games to max for about a year at the time.
Really appreciate the BeamNG benchmark. It's been my game of choice for absolutely years and was the sole reason I decided to upgrade my PC recently so I could max the game out.
I checked my email archive... I bought a Radeon 7770 HD back in May of 2012. I quickly updated to a 7850 less than a year later. Thanks for the nostalgia.
2:06 Wow, just wow. I remember seeing the big side info floating card getting replaced with a much sleek, minimal card is really cool. Like, it's old enough you've been using the old style then boom new one and it's good.
The 7750 brings me back so many memories. Used it for my little brothers budget built I made for him back in like 2018, overclocked it a bit and he was happy playing games on it even if it was on the lowest resolution. My sapphire HD 7750 had relive working and hardware accel in Linux although it looked horrible. Idk how the situation with current drivers is
"Many of You never heard of this brand." I still have their (kinda broken right now) HD4850 1GB GDDR5 version (Yes I know it's weird because of that GDDR5 VRAM). It was loud but - it was also quite cheap at the time - I paid like 60-70€ for a new one in 2011.
I still have a VTX3D HD6670 with 1GB GDDR5 in my ITX SFF retro box.I bought it new but heavily discounted as it was already outdated at that point (about a decade ago). It was the most powerful slot-powered single-slot GPU (at the time I built it) that would fit in the extremely tight case I was trying to cram everything into (Chieftec BT-02B), in terms of thickness, length and height (how far it extends above the slot bracket)
I recently bought an HD 6770 for a PC with games contemporary with that GPU and paired it with a Phenom II x6 1055T, I would have liked to have had that PC in 2011, By the way, it's good to see you again.

I have been following this channel for years, and while I was a hardcore PC Master Race snob from 2011 - 2023, this channel always takes me back to my Apple days from 2003 - 2011 where I would buy a "new" G3 iMac or G4 eMac every couple years or so for $100 - $150 and it was always an incremental upgrade.

It can run later PS3/360 games (Bioshock Infinite, Arkham City/Origins, Human Revolution, and Tomb Raider 2013) at console settings, but 1080p, and average mid 40s fps. Hell, 3D Vision certified games run at console settings, 720p (so 360p each eye), and is still well above 30 fps. That is more than good enough for me due to the age of the hardware, and I am a 3D fanatic. Booting it up and testing some games on it (final Fermi drivers from May 2018) gives me even more appreciation for this channel. Basically, if you're not a resolution or framerate snob, if you bought something like the 680, 980, 1080/Ti, or even the 2080, amd you were happy with at least console settings/resolution at at least 30fps, you would be set for at least roughly 4 or 5 years.
Good to see you back! I think this has probably been said already but people like you are absolutely sorely needed when times are tough, just to prove some fun can be had even with cheap crap. Keep up the great work!
I have a Sapphire 1GB GDDR5 varient I got used for $20 Canadian back in 2020 to go in a old HP Pavillion from 2007 with a Q6600 & 8GB (4x2GB) DDR2 RAM, I plan on selling it at some point as a basic use/office PC that's capable of playing decade old games at 720P such as Tomb Raider (2013), Sleeping Dogs, GTAV & Sims 4 for example.
Had 5770 once, the only card i had to actually underclock and undervolt because i blew all my budget on it and that meant no new psu. Still worked great.
Welcome back You reminded me Star Wars Fallen Order in order to play it I had to use DXVK because the stuttering on DX11 on UE4 was mess regardless of the settings, still using similar method on other games that are stubborn when you can't wait forever for a patch from the developer/company anyways, most games for the most part are working okay but in this scenario is the worst case we talk about here.
I bought the GDDR-5 version in 2013...and it is still happily purring away in my backup box paired with an equally ancient Phenom II 925, you really couldn't kill those things.
@@gabrielv.4358 Because GPU tech hasn't been progressing nearly as fast as CPU tech? Look it up on Tech Powerup, here is what they say "Launched Feb 2012, 1Gb GDDR 5 GCN 1.0"
Comparing benchmarks with this card between windows and linux might be interesting. Because gcn 1 is still actively supported on linux through mesa whereas it's been dropped for a while now on windows
@@rustyshackleford3053 You have to pass a kernel parameter to get the more modern 'amdgpu' to work on the oldest GCN cards. "radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1" for Southern Islands/7000 series, and swap 'si' for 'cik' for Sea Islands/8000. Or heck, just do both si and cik to be sure. You can also do it in an /etc/modprobe.d conf file like "options radeon si_support=0 (linebreak) options amdgpu si_support=1". The older 'radeon' driver still technically works but it's completely unmaintained as you know, and I'm not surprised that some distros don't really work with it. And FWIW, on my own system with a weird GCN 1.0 mobile GPU, doing this makes it work fairly fine, definitely better than radeon even for these early cards. Not sure why it isn't the default driver other than people working on the kernel not really caring about these over 10-year old GPUs, which is fair but still sucks
All good 😊My first thought was, well that card is great for Windows XP retro gaming and I love buying something that is brand new, so a great find, thank you for sharing.@@BudgetBuildsOfficial
i love GCN 7000 through vega . it aged sooooo well and m mainn card is a rare radeon pro SSG 2 technically vega 10 but 12nm with 24gb vram and 2tb ssds
For some reason I feel all warm and fuzzy - it must be nostalgia. Thanks for the review. Idle curiosity: Have you reviewed a Tesla P4? Yes I know it's a 'compute' card with no output! But they are pretty cheap for what they can do (up to 50% faster than a GTX 1650 for me with more RAM and the same power draw) and with a little fiddling you can game on them.* *GRID Driver, Regedit - Search "AdapterType", Delete that Key, then add 32bit DWord EnableMsHybrid = 1. Carefully Superglue a 40x40x10 blower to the end of the card (maybe with a 1k Resistor), and Bob's your significant other once Windows is set to use it for 3D stuff. PS: The K80 is a bit slower with much more RAM for the same-ish price at the cost of a 300W vs 75W power draw.
5 years ago I bought a VTX3D HD 7970 X-Edition off my local market for $40 usd. A year later I sold it during the mining boom for $100. Really nice card.
7750's are great old cards with bugger all power draw. I remember looking into them WAY back when I was upgrading from a 9400GT 😛 It's really cool to see older companies keeping these cards going, because there's definitely a love for them. Back then I opted for a 9800GT by another lesser known company called Jetway. Good card.
good one! always love your videos! if i may, i'd like to suggest a video about external gpus, then ones you connect to the usb-c thunderbolt port in laptops. That way you could "revive" an old laptop! keep up the good work!
I've got to admit I did not have even mid expectations when I clicked on this video...however! For a measly £15 This card has shockingly decent performance. Honestly pretty solid value for what you're able to get from it. I actually want to pick one up now just for the fun of putting together an ULTRA budget build hah.
Had a VTX3D HD5750 1GB GDDR5 in the first PC I built back in 2011. It was quite capable until around 2015 when the 1GB of VRAM became too big of a limitation. Early GTA V in 2015 was playable (30-40fps) at 1080p Normal with the sliders half-way, paired with an Athlon II X4 650. It has more shaders than the HD 7750 but it's on the older Terascale 2 architecture, so it's just a bit slower than the 7750, tho obviously the GDDR5 would've pushed mine above a DDR3 7750
VCE works in two ways, hybrid mode where the GCN compute units are helping figure out the intra frames and motion while the VCE hardware figures out the minutia of the bitstream and then preforming the encode, then there is fixed mode where you don't really have much if any control over intra frames and motion detection because the VCE hardware is doing all of that itself. Those low spec GCN 1.0 cards don't have enough compute units to make hybrid mode work and despite having the physical hardware to do the fixed mode encoding AMD just never enabled it. That and they went from having everything run though AMD Media Package (codecs) which they shitcanned for AMF aka AMD Media Framework (API) which leaves it more open ended and easier to implement. A whole lot of less than ideal for the job but still capable (or capable at some point) with zero support for AMF or any kind of VCE support at all.

So pretty much Medion tier.
Welcome back
You reminded me Star Wars Fallen Order in order to play it I had to use DXVK because the stuttering on DX11 on UE4 was mess regardless of the settings, still using similar method on other games that are stubborn when you can't wait forever for a patch from the developer/company anyways, most games for the most part are working okay but in this scenario is the worst case we talk about here.
Lets go! hes back!
really glad to see you again! My man, you should make audio books of public domain titles...you'd make a fortune...great speaking voice.
Welcome back!
And when everybody needed him the most... He returned.
Welcome back!
Welcome back to the internet sir
finally you are back ❤🎉
it's a blessed day, new budget builds hardware video
Welcome ! I missed you !
You're the real OG of budget builds and pc hardware 💪💪
I bought the GDDR-5 version in 2013...and it is still happily purring away in my backup box paired with an equally ancient Phenom II 925, you really couldn't kill those things.
how could in 2013 exist gddr5, and we are in 2024 and ggdr7 is not even a thing?
@@gabrielv.4358 Because GPU tech hasn't been progressing nearly as fast as CPU tech?
Look it up on Tech Powerup, here is what they say "Launched Feb 2012, 1Gb GDDR 5 GCN 1.0"
Nice to see you back 🙂
Comparing benchmarks with this card between windows and linux might be interesting. Because gcn 1 is still actively supported on linux through mesa whereas it's been dropped for a while now on windows
How? I had to replace my old GCN cards with a GT210 years ago.
@@rustyshackleford3053 You have to pass a kernel parameter to get the more modern 'amdgpu' to work on the oldest GCN cards. "radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1" for Southern Islands/7000 series, and swap 'si' for 'cik' for Sea Islands/8000. Or heck, just do both si and cik to be sure. You can also do it in an /etc/modprobe.d conf file like "options radeon si_support=0 (linebreak) options amdgpu si_support=1". The older 'radeon' driver still technically works but it's completely unmaintained as you know, and I'm not surprised that some distros don't really work with it.
And FWIW, on my own system with a weird GCN 1.0 mobile GPU, doing this makes it work fairly fine, definitely better than radeon even for these early cards. Not sure why it isn't the default driver other than people working on the kernel not really caring about these over 10-year old GPUs, which is fair but still sucks
He's finally back!
The Return Of The King.
Sorry, the page you requested can not be found:(
They must have clocked onto the video rather quickly. Shame that, I’ll try and find some more. Hope you’re doing well mate
All good 😊My first thought was, well that card is great for Windows XP retro gaming and I love buying something that is brand new, so a great find, thank you for sharing.@@BudgetBuildsOfficial
i love GCN 7000 through vega . it aged sooooo well and m mainn card is a rare radeon pro SSG 2 technically vega 10 but 12nm with 24gb vram and 2tb ssds
love these videos, never stop!
I've missed your content, it's always a delight.
I've missed your videos, please make more!
I'm an old tech addict!
For some reason I feel all warm and fuzzy - it must be nostalgia. Thanks for the review.
Idle curiosity: Have you reviewed a Tesla P4?
Yes I know it's a 'compute' card with no output! But they are pretty cheap for what they can do (up to 50% faster than a GTX 1650 for me with more RAM and the same power draw) and with a little fiddling you can game on them.*
*GRID Driver, Regedit - Search "AdapterType", Delete that Key, then add 32bit DWord EnableMsHybrid = 1. Carefully Superglue a 40x40x10 blower to the end of the card (maybe with a 1k Resistor), and Bob's your significant other once Windows is set to use it for 3D stuff.
PS: The K80 is a bit slower with much more RAM for the same-ish price at the cost of a 300W vs 75W power draw.
5 years ago I bought a VTX3D HD 7970 X-Edition off my local market for $40 usd. A year later I sold it during the mining boom for $100. Really nice card.
Great to see you're still alive!
7750's are great old cards with bugger all power draw. I remember looking into them WAY back when I was upgrading from a 9400GT 😛
It's really cool to see older companies keeping these cards going, because there's definitely a love for them. Back then I opted for a 9800GT by another lesser known company called Jetway. Good card.
good one! always love your videos! if i may, i'd like to suggest a video about external gpus, then ones you connect to the usb-c thunderbolt port in laptops. That way you could "revive" an old laptop! keep up the good work!
I've got to admit I did not have even mid expectations when I clicked on this video...however! For a measly £15 This card has shockingly decent performance.
Honestly pretty solid value for what you're able to get from it. I actually want to pick one up now just for the fun of putting together an ULTRA budget build hah.
budget builds is back!!!
Had a VTX3D HD5750 1GB GDDR5 in the first PC I built back in 2011. It was quite capable until around 2015 when the 1GB of VRAM became too big of a limitation. Early GTA V in 2015 was playable (30-40fps) at 1080p Normal with the sliders half-way, paired with an Athlon II X4 650. It has more shaders than the HD 7750 but it's on the older Terascale 2 architecture, so it's just a bit slower than the 7750, tho obviously the GDDR5 would've pushed mine above a DDR3 7750
Aww man the link's down! For a second I thought I might have had an incredibly cheap successor to the HD5450 I've got on my Pentium e5200 😔
VCE works in two ways, hybrid mode where the GCN compute units are helping figure out the intra frames and motion while the VCE hardware figures out the minutia of the bitstream and then preforming the encode, then there is fixed mode where you don't really have much if any control over intra frames and motion detection because the VCE hardware is doing all of that itself. Those low spec GCN 1.0 cards don't have enough compute units to make hybrid mode work and despite having the physical hardware to do the fixed mode encoding AMD just never enabled it.
That and they went from having everything run though AMD Media Package (codecs) which they shitcanned for AMF aka AMD Media Framework (API) which leaves it more open ended and easier to implement. A whole lot of less than ideal for the job but still capable (or capable at some point) with zero support for AMF or any kind of VCE support at all.
