Now this is the AMG Radion HD 77 70.

More specifically, it's the Sapphire gigahertz vapor extradition releasing in 2012.

This $159 mainstream card would have been ideal.

For those of you who wanted pretty decent performance.

That's a respectable price.

This was the first in the 7000 Siri's of GP use to implement sapphires vapor.

Ex calling design, which features to copper heat pipes on dhe, is pretty silent overall in operation, which is always a bonus when it comes to graphics cards, this card sat between the high end at 79 90 on Dhe, the HD 77 50 the entry level Budgie option.

The average price of one of these in 2018 is $30 euros or pounds, according to the Big Boy dot net website.

And I wanted to see what this one could do when it came to running a few modern titles.

No, my media apprehension here was brought about by the one gig of Judy are five Aram because, of course, the 77 70 did also come in a two gig variant, so it be interesting to see if this can steal well, play anything with respectable frame rates on settings.

So let's get into it and find that out.

So today I decided to run through or tested game's at 10 80 p 900 p and 7 20 p.

Because, of course, the card may struggle at some of those higher resolutions in some instances.

In this case, though, with the call of duty World War two, last year's big cod release, it performed absolutely well near perfectly on the 77 70 at 10 80 p resolution, there will be a few frame drops as the action heats up.

But as you can see here with a combination of low on dat, some normal settings, the game did pretty well for itself on this graphics card, averaging between sort of 40 and 60 frames per second.

Most of the time now, there weren't too many.

It's severe stutters, and I think that this was certainly playable a 10 80 p.

Let's turn the resolution down a little bit and see what sort of difference that can make now.

All footage today was taken from the opening level at 900 P.

After dropping the resolution down, we did see a much improved frame rate of one that stayed mostly above 60 if not all of the time.

Now.

I can't speak for every level in the game, of course.

But here it seemed to do pretty well on the 77 70 which is old, considering that when I first fired the game up at an a t.

P, I was getting about four frames per second.

I kid, you know, I think one of the settings I had on obviously didn't agree with this graphics card, and turning it down or off simply solved that issue.

I wish I could remember what I turned off in order to see that massive improvement with the frame rates 7 20 people forms even better again, you'll see a pretty respectable number during this opening level.

The game will look a little worse for it, but if you are pretty keen on sticking with at least 60 frames per second or trying to most of the time, and 7 20 p will probably be the best resolution for you.

So just know that 10 80 p is more than doable, with cord World War two on Theseventy 7 70 Gigahertz Vapor Rex Edition.

Next up, it's the game Who's spelling will have Children making mistakes in their very important English exams for years to come.

This is, of course, fortnight.

That's an 80 p.

The game ran at about 50 frames per second, just shy off 60 F.

P s overall.

But of course it will depend on where you are on the map, though I have to say the performance was pretty consistent and it didn't really matter what I was doing.

40 to 55 frames per second was roughly the average here, but the exact figures are, of course, on screen.

As always, it was a pretty decent, experienced medium settings we used here.

The medium preset, in fact, with 100% render scaling too.

If you want a closer to 60 f P s experience, then you will have to turn things down to 900 p, though even then there will be a few drops below that target frame rate, especially as you get into sort of combat based situations.

It was very smooth, though I have to say there was literally no static here whatsoever.

that didn't really matter.

What resolution I was running the game.

It performed very well.

One.

This rise in 5 1600 system with eight gigs of DDR for memory.

And I have to say it's quite surprising, to be honest that what they're one gig 77 70 can still do.

If you remember, we did actually look at this card back in 2016.

We checked out a few games.

But of course, a lot has changed in the world of gaming.

Many new drivers have come out for this card on DA.

Many new games have, of course, come out as well, and they're only getting more demanding.

By the year 7 20 p, here was the only way to guarantee yourself more than 60 f.

P s with the game running closer to 80 If anything again, it doesn't look as good.

But for the best gameplay experience and ignoring a ll graphical fidelity here 7 20 p was definitely the best way to go.

Personally, I'd still play 10.

80 p and just be happy with that 50 frames per second.

It was still a very nice experience overall fortnight, more than playable on this old card.

Now some people seem to think that you've got more chance of finding a one ended stick than you have of finding an optimized, ubi soft game.

But here, assessing screen Odyssey certainly make some improvements over its predecessor.

A C Origins, for example, are no.

A C Origins really didn't like some older cards.

Yet with these 77 70 is performing Okay, 10 80 p isn't the best example to show you here, but immediately I'm going to drop the resolution to 900 p.

And while there is a slight increase in frame rate, we are still lagging behind that ideal 30 frames per second that I hope to see in this game.

Now, of course, everything is on low.

Yet the render resolution is at 100% and nothing else has been changed.

The anti Ellis ing is even switched on because with it off, the game looks pretty horrible.

On the performance.

Improvement is literally one or two frames per second.

If that so for the sake of JAG is filling up your screen, I'd rather have the anti alias ing switched on here.

If we turn things down now to 7 20 p.

You'll see that we average 30 frames per second now.

This isn't too dissimilar from how the game ran on AM these rising five AP you that we tested the other day?

So it's nice to see that the old 77 70 can still handle this game orbit with reduced settings.

My game play period here was pretty much comprised off running around this little shipping village.

I did wander into the wilderness in some instances of frame, right did improve by about four or five F.

P s, though I wanted to sort of give you a representation of how a busy area would perform.

And as you can see, I don't think it did too badly.

I think a lot of you were probably expecting a worse result myself included.

So if you want to play a sea odyssey on this card, then you could do so.

They're very mind.

You'll probably still experience a few frame drops here in there, especially when it comes to some more intense fighting scenes.

No, I initially thought that running faults of Horizon four on the one gig 77 70 was pretty much a lost cause.

After all, I did get about 900,000 low memory warnings during my game play, and when I fired the game up, I was given the option as to whether or not I wanted to continue due to the limited V Ram.

I'm glad I did, though, on I was pretty surprised to find out it wasn't a big stuttering mess, even on very low wrapped in a teepee.

We seemed to achieve 30 frames per second on average, even if there were quite a few heavy stutters here in there, especially if you joined a race with more than one player.

For best results, I've found that limiting the frame rate to 30 was ideal, considering we was only getting about 31 or 32 beforehand.

Dropping things to 900 p yielded a very similar result.

There really wasn't too much difference.

In fact, I snore a little bit more stutter.

I apologize for the footage here.

I forgot to full screen the game, but the benchmark results were taken from the aforementioned full screen scenario, so don't worry about that.

Dropping things down even further to 7 20 p and removing the 30 frames per second frame rate cap gave us today's best results, even if there was some stuttering still to be seen.

But I think this game is bound to do that.

I mean, it's a brand new title at the time of this video, almost the 77 70 years, six years old.

And quite frankly, I'm surprised Thegame did even start, so that's always a bonus in my books Now in Rainbow six Siege, I ran the in game benchmark test three times a 10 80 p 900 p and 7 20 p.

And once again I was honestly quite surprised.

I showed you the 10 80 piece settings briefly there, just to give you an idea of how the V Ram is pretty much exceeded as it has been throughout the entirety off today's video.

One gigabyte would certainly appear to cause a struggle for most games these days, but I think so far we've had pretty decent results.

I'll have to get hold of a two gig 77 70 once again, though, to sort of compare the two.

Let's go ahead and drop things down to 900 p, where we saw yet again, vastly improved frame rate.

If I'm honest, there will be some occasions where by the game does slow right down and I can only speak for the endgame benchmark test.

But all in all, I think it did.

Okay, dropping things down to 7 20 p again, keeping everything at the low preset.

And we saw another nice little boost when it came to the average 1% and 10.1% low.

F PS figures.

I can't speak, as I said, for the actual gameplay, because I did just running in game benchmark tests.

But everything seems to be pretty decent here, moving on to our final test of today the witch or three.

And here this was actually one of the most demanding games, despite it being well, I think three years old now 10 80 p weird.

They mix of low and medium settings yielded about 30 frames per second.

I apologize if the footage comes across a little bit statuary, but I hope that you can sort of see that number in the top left there and realize that the game didn't actually perform as bad as it looks.

That did take advantage of the on board really of software, which allows you to capture your game play internally much like invidious shadow play.

And that's also one of the perks of Theseventy 7 70 years old.

But it's not that old that it doesn't include some of the newest features.

And when it came to recording game pain, other games there was literally no performance hit.

Which is good here, though.

As you can see, that didn't quite work out 900 p, and we saw a vast improvement here with a slightly more stable frame rate throughout.

This would definitely be the way to play, in my opinion.

But of course, you can lower things even further if you like, We won't do so just yet.

I'll let you have a little bit of a longer look at 900 p as we explored a wide variety of both sort of open areas and city areas like Novi Grad during the half hour game play with each resolution.

Finally, that's drop things down to 7 20 p now, and this was, of course, the best way to play.

Who would have thought that it would have been the older game here to put this card through its paces.

Of course.

The which of three, though, continues to challenge even the most powerful of hardware.

Even today, it's sort of like a modern day crisis whereby you're not quite sure how things are going to run over, although I think this card did pretty well considering It's got one gigs of the Ram, and it's certainly held up in some off today's modern titles.

Despite what I went into, it thinking would happen.

I honestly thought I fire at most games and they would be one big stuttering mess.

But it's still nice to see that it's hanging in there and providing respectable frame rates at those lower resolutions.

This has been the Sapphire at 77 70 test.

I'm sure you're sick of me saying that by now.
