I used to have a 2GB version of this, served me well back in the day. Interestingly though i saw around 50 fps in GTA 5 with more settings on high and FXAA on and the game itself actually set reflections to very high. I'm guessing the i7 2600k i had in the system at the time helped out there.
Sean Frederick Heh, you would be so amazed how legacy proccesors are being resold as "cheap Dedicated servers" online for rent. (Usually for cloud services, like Websites, Databases, Game servers etc)
Tried GTA V with a 2 GB 660 Ti and it ran fine. the game is surprisingly well optimised. It also does nice on a R7 250X, which is basically the same as the HD 7770 tested here. But a good point that the old i5/i7 prebuilds are handed out nowadays. Sure since about 2017 a quad core is not really "gaming" anymore, but they are still capable of running alot.
Damn I got this same GPU back in 2012 when I finally built my first actually decent gaming pc. Paired with FX-4170 and 8GB's of ram it did very well for the time! BF3 ran stable 60fps on High settings :)

I don’t see WarThunder being mention a lot here. Cool. I used to run it on 14-18 fps ultra low back in my cheap laptop, now I can at 120 fps high, and I do have to say, I sorta improved.
I had an intel HD 2000 and upgraded to a GT 710 and soon enough i'm going to upgrade to an rx 570 soon enough around september, i've been doing massive upgrades each time. Goodluck to any of you low end gamers!
I play Assetto Corsa Competizione with 260x 1gb, I7 860 and 16gb ddr3. I play online with more than 20 cars on track. I get 30-45 @1080p downscaled@80%, textures on ultra and almost everything else on lowest. I can definitively enjoy the game and set decent times on the track. The bottleneck is in my driving skills, not the hardware ;). Now I just bought a quadro t400 brand new @116€ and it's a huge step ahead with 2gb gddr6; I had a few races and the fps is more than double. Next week I'll get an I3 10105 and the rest of the system

Really like your channel - like that you use old hardware and go through it in different scenarios - I've got a similar dilema with my i5 4670K and 1080 setup... been playing Metro Exodus and my CPU doesn't seem to like it even clocked at 4Ghz.
Been watching your videos recently. They’re great! Haven’t got no friends and watching your vids been helping me through making it feel like a friend is talking to me 😊
That CoD looks like how I remember Battlefield 2 to look like on my old 7300 GT back in the day. But hay, I still own a R7 250X, which is basically the same as a HD 7770. Not sure what to do with it nowadays, but maybe with a upgrade from my aging i5 I can hand everything down and give it a purpose again.
I remember using a computer that had like 500KB integrated graphics. And and no hard drive, floppy boot only. Now I'm typing this comment on a phone that has an 8 core processor, 8 gigs ram, 128GB internal, and a 256GB SD card, and is literally thousands of times faster than that computer. Even faster than hundreds of cray supercomputers that were around at the time.
so, did anyone else identify? I currently play with a GTX 750 1GB. I have an I7 9700K and 16GB DDR4 2666mhz and you can play smooth, some games at least with low resolution. I can play Watch_Dogs 1, Watch_Dogs 2, Sea of Thieves, GTA V, Forza Horizon 4 and games that require 2 GB of video, some are a little difficult but in general everything runs cool
My Radeon HD 6970 was able to play many modern titles (drivers aside) without issue and at medium to medium high in 1080p. This card was paired with an FX 6300 and 16 GB DDR3 RAM. I was running this setup up until early 2019 when I did a completely new build with a Ryzen 5 2400G and Radeon RX 570. Since then I have upgraded to a Ryzen 5 2600 and Radeon RX 5600 XT.
I like this guys videos. He doesn't knock old (haha) hardware as much as most. The takeaways I get from this video are that Red Dead Redemption 2 may be the new Crysis. Everybody still uses First Person Shooter's to gauge the viability of a graphics card (considering they have been since Quake 2 is not surprising) However, not everyone is into FPS's. How does one gig run a sim or pixle stuff that seems so popular? The Ryzen is an over hyped processor, I bet he would get pretty much the same results with a duo with the exception that a duo would probably run at 80%+ and make a person feel their computer is running in sync rather than bottle necking like crazy. IDK but it certainly seems like the Ryzen should be doing more to take up the slack than it is. But then, it could be that the FPS's are so graphics focused that the processor has little to do but be a background trinket. Thing is, 1gb cards are really not that old, and even a 16gb card brand new will likely be considered old five years from now when they come with 64 or 128 gb. Yes, considering that I remember just getting a VGA monitor was a significant graphics upgrade, I have noticed the trend will never change. At what point though are we going to have holographics as a common household feature? Considering they have been around since the '90's and conceptual since the '50's, when are they going to quit poking gbs into a card and change the way we see graphics? Oh, yeah, we got raytracing now... Which has been around since the '70's and now they are calling it like it's some new tech when they should have advanced that long ago. And I won't get started with "virtual reality."
As a 7850 1GB owner, I still kick myself for cheaping out and buying it instead of the 2GB version. A lot of games would be playable on it if not the lack of VRAM.
I remember struggling with a similar gpu a few years ago when I was getting into pc gaming ... playing high end hardware demanding games was a pain in the ass very frustrating ..now playing all those tittles with a capable gaming system it is so enjoyable ..hahha
On the topic of super budget 7000 series cards... 2GB 7850s, especially ones you can OC the nuts off of like the MSI Twin Frozr ones, can still rip surprisingly well in 2020.
To those saying that they have 128mb of VRAM because they have Intel integrated graphics, no. Intel Graphics work differently, for instance a UHD 620 has that ammount of vram but it's performance equals to a Nvidia GT 610 1gb or 710 1gb depending on how much RAM you have. So If u have a laptop u might consider upgrading to 16gb of system memory or going all the way and purchase the GPU dock .
I had the 7770 GHz edition from sapphire for a long while. In 2015 I upgraded to R9 390 8GB (also from Sapphire) to play Fallout 4. What a difference it made! Today I'm running a 1080 ti.
one thing you also have to realize with modern systems like with this graphics is paired with a ryzen 3100 is that once you exceed vram on the gpu your going to go to system RAM and if using 3200 megahertz ram that's going to be a lot faster then ddr2 or DDR3 hence why you see better averages
I had a gt 440 and could play mb warband, skyrim, civ 5, lol, witcher (except 3 :P), bioshock series, gta 4, bf 3, mafia 2 and a lot of more games. It sure handled well.
my rx 570 died a few months ago so I had to resort to using my old gtx 750 1gb. Surprisingly it could run every game I play (with reduced settings of course). I honestly would have kept using it but a few weeks ago I bought an rx 580 to replace it.
I wonder how much the performance changes with the transfer speed of the system RAM. When dedicated VRAM is full, the system will extend the graphics memory pool into system memory. You can see this in task manager, where it's labelled shared GPU memory usage
4:07 Vega igpu works because it sets a part of your total ram for itself. Even If you only used only 4gb of of ram, the Vega iGPU would still take 2GB for itself, that's why the game works.
The integrated gpu can run RDR 2 because it use RAM or SSD as a Vram replacement APU's dosn't have own Vram so it makes sense that RDR 2 can run on this type of hardware.
I owned both r7 250x which is the refresh of 7770 and r9 270 second hand. I suggest going for a r9 270/x or the 7870 instead of the 7770. It made such a big difference for such a small price increase in the second hand market.
I have two of these around. XFX edition, though. It's nice that they are still supported, but getting one today is just not worth it. I upgraded to RX 570 from it, like a year ago and difference is drastic, so getting something like that would be a good choice.
I used a 2gb HD7770 for a couple years. It ran basic games alright but any game I had after 2015 was pretty much unplayable. So I upgraded earlier this year to a GTX 960 which was a huge improvement. 😄
I have this card on my family PC! Switched the i3 2120 it had for a i5 3570S and upgraded to 8GB of RAM which I found (CPU and RAM) for 20€ and still can game kinda well! My brother kinda complains on heaviest games but now it's way better with the i5
I used to game on a laptop with a 1GB VRAM AMD dGPU(Radeon HD 8750M 1GB GDDR5) between 2017 to 2020, drivers were dogwater if I remember my brother complained about bad framerates because of the drivers making games run somehow worse. Before that I used Integrated graphics(pre Intel HD Graphics like G41) and after that on a laptop with a 2060(6GB), but still had a blast with the card.

And CSGO (mid 130 fps)
Ps my screen resolution is 900p....
I’ve got an OC GTX 550ti and a 19 inch 720p monitor and honestly the 1gig vram isn’t an issue at all in csgo and gta v
@@e46m3s i think when you have 1gb or ram the best thing you can do is to play at 900p or 720p because 200mb of vram are occupied in plus only by 1080p
I don’t see WarThunder being mention a lot here. Cool. I used to run it on 14-18 fps ultra low back in my cheap laptop, now I can at 120 fps high, and I do have to say, I sorta improved.
I had an intel HD 2000 and upgraded to a GT 710 and soon enough i'm going to upgrade to an rx 570 soon enough around september, i've been doing massive upgrades each time. Goodluck to any of you low end gamers!
hd 2000 to 710 is fairly... mhe, non gtx cards sgould be avoided, same goes for amd sub x60 series
@@arencorparencorp2189 For me, it was a massive upgrade because i was able to play csgo and all the esport games that i wanted to play.
5:06 definitely a hacker look at the killfeed
I play Assetto Corsa Competizione with 260x 1gb, I7 860 and 16gb ddr3. I play online with more than 20 cars on track. I get 30-45 @1080p downscaled@80%, textures on ultra and almost everything else on lowest. I can definitively enjoy the game and set decent times on the track. The bottleneck is in my driving skills, not the hardware ;). Now I just bought a quadro t400 brand new @116€ and it's a huge step ahead with 2gb gddr6; I had a few races and the fps is more than double. Next week I'll get an I3 10105 and the rest of the system
“I can’t Breathe” that 1GB graphics card is saying..
kek
Used to play Doom 3 at about 10FPS on a GeForce 2 MX400, so that RAGE footage brought back some memories
I want his voice instead Google assistant 😂
These videos go to show the strong points and weaknesses of each video game engine. Some get you terrible fps AND graphics and others good performance AND graphics at the same time on the same hardware.
6:55 When Cod MW release on PS3..
I was just testing a 1gb GTX 460 I had sitting in my closet. Was surprised to see how well it did in a wide range of games.
I hate to see technology become e-waste, so it's nice that these cards can still have some sort of purpose
10:41 is the end, you're welcome.
why would i want that

i had that very same card... it is now a decoration in my classroom at school... i have an fx8300 with 28gb of 1600mhz ddr3 ram... i just upgraded a month ago to a rc 570 8gb card for under $200... i kno last year it was cheaper but now i had the money and it was almost 350 bc of the virus... i went from 45fps on low to off settings in fortnite to 75fps on epic settings, the turned down shadows to low and then i was pushing 95+... i know it isnt competitive gaming, but i feel i can now have this comp for at least 2 more years making it 10 years on the pc... that makes me happy... plus my monitor is only 60hz, so i locked the frame rate and it looks absolutely amazing and buttery smooth, for 60fps at least
Hello what is the best GPU for VR on a budget?
I whould say gtx 1050
Fab1_03 thank you :)
RX 570 hands down.
rx series
@@pax124 shut up
Really like your channel - like that you use old hardware and go through it in different scenarios - I've got a similar dilema with my i5 4670K and 1080 setup... been playing Metro Exodus and my CPU doesn't seem to like it even clocked at 4Ghz.
Been watching your videos recently. They’re great! Haven’t got no friends and watching your vids been helping me through making it feel like a friend is talking to me 😊
I don't have friends either. Stay strong 💪
RandomGaminHD: plays warzone
Me: remembers warzone taking 5 and a half GB of my 1070’s V ram in the menu
I remember buying my voodoo 2 blackmagic with 12mb and Gaming at 800x600 with 20fps.
I cant imagine where pc gaming will be in 20 years from now.
That CoD looks like how I remember Battlefield 2 to look like on my old 7300 GT back in the day.
But hay, I still own a R7 250X, which is basically the same as a HD 7770. Not sure what to do with it nowadays, but maybe with a upgrade from my aging i5 I can hand everything down and give it a purpose again.
I remember using a computer that had like 500KB integrated graphics. And and no hard drive, floppy boot only. Now I'm typing this comment on a phone that has an 8 core processor, 8 gigs ram, 128GB internal, and a 256GB SD card, and is literally thousands of times faster than that computer. Even faster than hundreds of cray supercomputers that were around at the time.
so, did anyone else identify? I currently play with a GTX 750 1GB.
I have an I7 9700K and 16GB DDR4 2666mhz
and you can play smooth, some games at least with low resolution. I can play Watch_Dogs 1, Watch_Dogs 2, Sea of Thieves, GTA V, Forza Horizon 4 and games that require 2 GB of video, some are a little difficult but in general everything runs cool
My Radeon HD 6970 was able to play many modern titles (drivers aside) without issue and at medium to medium high in 1080p. This card was paired with an FX 6300 and 16 GB DDR3 RAM. I was running this setup up until early 2019 when I did a completely new build with a Ryzen 5 2400G and Radeon RX 570. Since then I have upgraded to a Ryzen 5 2600 and Radeon RX 5600 XT.
I like this guys videos. He doesn't knock old (haha) hardware as much as most. The takeaways I get from this video are that Red Dead Redemption 2 may be the new Crysis. Everybody still uses First Person Shooter's to gauge the viability of a graphics card (considering they have been since Quake 2 is not surprising) However, not everyone is into FPS's. How does one gig run a sim or pixle stuff that seems so popular? The Ryzen is an over hyped processor, I bet he would get pretty much the same results with a duo with the exception that a duo would probably run at 80%+ and make a person feel their computer is running in sync rather than bottle necking like crazy. IDK but it certainly seems like the Ryzen should be doing more to take up the slack than it is. But then, it could be that the FPS's are so graphics focused that the processor has little to do but be a background trinket. Thing is, 1gb cards are really not that old, and even a 16gb card brand new will likely be considered old five years from now when they come with 64 or 128 gb. Yes, considering that I remember just getting a VGA monitor was a significant graphics upgrade, I have noticed the trend will never change. At what point though are we going to have holographics as a common household feature? Considering they have been around since the '90's and conceptual since the '50's, when are they going to quit poking gbs into a card and change the way we see graphics? Oh, yeah, we got raytracing now... Which has been around since the '70's and now they are calling it like it's some new tech when they should have advanced that long ago. And I won't get started with "virtual reality."
As a 7850 1GB owner, I still kick myself for cheaping out and buying it instead of the 2GB version. A lot of games would be playable on it if not the lack of VRAM.
I remember struggling with a similar gpu a few years ago when I was getting into pc gaming ... playing high end hardware demanding games was a pain in the ass very frustrating ..now playing all those tittles with a capable gaming system it is so enjoyable ..hahha
On the topic of super budget 7000 series cards...
2GB 7850s, especially ones you can OC the nuts off of like the MSI Twin Frozr ones, can still rip surprisingly well in 2020.
Reminds me of old Amiga games running at 10fps. Chuggy game times that I don't miss, and avoided.
To those saying that they have 128mb of VRAM because they have Intel integrated graphics, no. Intel Graphics work differently, for instance a UHD 620 has that ammount of vram but it's performance equals to a Nvidia GT 610 1gb or 710 1gb depending on how much RAM you have. So If u have a laptop u might consider upgrading to 16gb of system memory or going all the way and purchase the GPU dock .
The fact it runs better than my gpu is just insane
I had the 7770 GHz edition from sapphire for a long while. In 2015 I upgraded to R9 390 8GB (also from Sapphire) to play Fallout 4. What a difference it made! Today I'm running a 1080 ti.
When you realize the video was not a clickbate
The problem with this HD7770 was initially designed for single-slot but for some reasons so many vendor makes 2 slot version. I hate that.
I just upgraded to my first actual graphics card (4gb) after gaming for like 5 years on integrated 1gb graphics. Feels good man
I had the HD 7770 1gb, got it back in 2014, i was so excited i cpuld play GRID and Tomb Raider 2013 at HIGH graphics
one thing you also have to realize with modern systems like with this graphics is paired with a ryzen 3100 is that once you exceed vram on the gpu your going to go to system RAM and if using 3200 megahertz ram that's going to be a lot faster then ddr2 or DDR3 hence why you see better averages
1:58 if you use dx 10 and use Frame scalling to half, you can get bellow 1 gb. Rocking gta on my GT 425M
I'm still rocking my 748MB 8800 GTX I bought back in 2007....£400 big ones that cost me. Still going strong.
I had an intel 5000 series GPU for a while and just got an RTX 2070 Super, what an upgrade...
I had a gt 440 and could play mb warband, skyrim, civ 5, lol, witcher (except 3 :P), bioshock series, gta 4, bf 3, mafia 2 and a lot of more games. It sure handled well.
my rx 570 died a few months ago so I had to resort to using my old gtx 750 1gb. Surprisingly it could run every game I play (with reduced settings of course). I honestly would have kept using it but a few weeks ago I bought an rx 580 to replace it.
you should do some rate or roast my rigs. keep up the good work also
Very nicely done video,I enjoyed it left a like and subscribed.
Hello Bro... Please make its 2021 version, eagerly waiting for 7770 HD version of 2021
Can you make a video testing a single GT 710?, you tested 2 in the past but i would love to see how a single one handles modern games.
Probs not good, as that card is even less powerful than this one
Imagine a quad channel gt 710 sli setup
@@theprotester5171 Probably still not that good.
@@magenta3712 ik but it would probably provide the performance of a gt 730 at a fraction of the cost
I wonder how much the performance changes with the transfer speed of the system RAM. When dedicated VRAM is full, the system will extend the graphics memory pool into system memory. You can see this in task manager, where it's labelled shared GPU memory usage
The gtx 650 1gb gddr5 team is here!!!!
4:07 Vega igpu works because it sets a part of your total ram for itself. Even If you only used only 4gb of of ram, the Vega iGPU would still take 2GB for itself, that's why the game works.
The integrated gpu can run RDR 2 because it use RAM or SSD as a Vram replacement APU's dosn't have own Vram so it makes sense that RDR 2 can run on this type of hardware.
Nice little retro card I expect,should play loads of older consoles\PCs.Get a few cheap one will always be useful for troubleshooting as well.
Good stuff Maynard , keep up the good work
Love your videos, keep it up. Greetings from Guatemala.
I owned both r7 250x which is the refresh of 7770 and r9 270 second hand. I suggest going for a r9 270/x or the 7870 instead of the 7770. It made such a big difference for such a small price increase in the second hand market.
I have two of these around. XFX edition, though. It's nice that they are still supported, but getting one today is just not worth it. I upgraded to RX 570 from it, like a year ago and difference is drastic, so getting something like that would be a good choice.
I still have a 560 in my current build.
I'm buying an RX 5700 XT tomorrow so it's going to be a huge improvement!
I used a 2gb HD7770 for a couple years. It ran basic games alright but any game I had after 2015 was pretty much unplayable. So I upgraded earlier this year to a GTX 960 which was a huge improvement. 😄
I have this card on my family PC! Switched the i3 2120 it had for a i5 3570S and upgraded to 8GB of RAM which I found (CPU and RAM) for 20€ and still can game kinda well! My brother kinda complains on heaviest games but now it's way better with the i5
vram doesnt really matter if u have fast ddr4 dualchannel ram, this card struggle a lot due to lack of processing power
That’s not true at all. Ddr4 ram doesn’t make up for lack of enough Vram.
Still gaming with a GTX 760 192-bit (1.5GB Vram) which works fine for even the most modern games if you adjust the settings.
“YO YO YO WHAT ARE YOU DOING GET OVER HERE WERE GETTING DESTROYED”

I used to game on a laptop with a 1GB VRAM AMD dGPU(Radeon HD 8750M 1GB GDDR5) between 2017 to 2020, drivers were dogwater if I remember my brother complained about bad framerates because of the drivers making games run somehow worse.
Before that I used Integrated graphics(pre Intel HD Graphics like G41) and after that on a laptop with a 2060(6GB), but still had a blast with the card.
I have that exact same card in my old eMachines case with an AMD X4-750K at 4.4GHz
my brother still uses this GPU even today and AMD R9 270x 2gb model should be enough to compare it with HD 7770
The 270x is much more powerful. It’s an overclocked 7870.
Don't be cowards, I used to be able to run GTA V in 4K on AMD Radeon 200 series
