Now the radio on HD 68 50 from AMG started appearing on the market toward the end of 2010 $179.

It's one gig off V RAM, commonplace at the time.

A year or so later, Sapphire released this model.

A card with two gigs of Judy are five, which certainly would have been a more tempting option for those gaming at higher resolutions.

If you stumble across one of these on the used market, more often than not, it will be a one gigabyte card, which were far more common and still are today.

I bought this card years ago, according to my mom.

Anyway, who, when helping me move house, found a receipt with it inside a plastic storage box.

I would have certainly taken the look back at it beforehand if I knew I had it, probably at a time when it would still be a more capable gamer.

But then I got to wondering how this mid range card from many years ago could handle itself as we approach 2020.

Could this 179 U S dollar near decade old investment play out in my favor.

I don't recall ever reviewing a 68 50 before on the channel, but maybe I have.

And that's why this one hasn't seen the light of Dahlia and years.

But there's nothing in my video history that's 68 50 related.

Let's start then with the games that are off the table, read it redemption to threw up a whole host of errors.

Battlefield five got to the main menu and froze every single time and rage to refuse to start not only on this card in Z on CPU, but every different process.

So if you like any of those titles which I'm sure 99.999% of you do, then I'm afraid you're out of luck.

Gives five was also sort of unplayable, and by that I mean it was totally unplayable.

I mean, I was happy to proceed with my eight frames per second, but the game said no.

I waited a while longer, a long while longer, to be honest, but my patients, just like my hairline, was wearing pretty thin.

No one on this planet would deem this an enjoyable experience, So I headed to a different one instead with the Outer Worlds, the card hardly gave us an out of this world experience a 10 80 p and the concept of a smooth frame rate seemed pretty alien.

But the fact that this title actually ran could be perceived as groundbreaking by some.

A drop to 7 20 p with the low settings still didn't give the card much breathing space, but lowering the resolution scale to 50% increase the average to infinity and beyond.

Okay, I mean, we're talking about 35 frames per second here, but it's a cosmic improvement over the experience at 1920 by 10 80 dirt, really, to my usual go to run on absolutely anything.

Game performed well under pressure a 10 80 p.

There were certainly a few minor drops, but overall, the average frame rate hovered around 40.

There was no need to turn down the resolution as I had a 30 f p s target in mind throughout, and despite the various crashes, with other games the only one crushing here Woz, as usual, May that's enough of the puns.

Now Honestly, let's move on before I blow this Mini Cooper to kingdom come Ah ho, What a coincidence Kingdom come Deliverance is up next and wealthy 68 50 came close to 30 f.

This opening level generally tends to be quite intensive on the system.

So I was surprised to see the frame rate exceed 30 on the usual of running around trying to get into trouble.

And it wasn't long before I made a complete fool of myself and had the guards running after me.

Crisis a 10 80 p Hi did surprisingly well.

Anyway, 60 frames per second was off the table, at least average wise because there were a few frame drops, but nothing too bad, I suppose.

I'm sure that if you bought one of these back in 2010 you'd have upgraded by now.

But if you haven't, then it may be worth considering.

I'm not trying to slate it, but Triple eight games will require more horsepower these days, most of them anyway.

Finally, it's counterstrike global offensive, Amore CPU intensive title which, as you can imagine, run fine.

Some of you may be thinking that because I tested this card with a Z on CPU, it's holding the card back.

The GPU reaches its maximum potential long before the process, sir really has a chance to get going.

I'm using this E 56 45 as I still have my rise and Rick packed up in a box ready for the new office.

It's still a good chip on Has six cause and 12 threads in for £5 here in the UK or $10.

It really is quite a good deal providing you have a motherboard for it, which can be expensive.

We're talking about the 68 50 and overall Well, it probably isn't worth getting one anymore.

After spending the initial £179 on it, I imagine it would have been good up till about 2016 17 and most Triple eight titles.

Well, it does start to struggles out the 68 15 2019.

Probably best left on the used auction site.

But if you enjoy this video, be short a lever like on it.

Leave a dislike If you didn't let me know if you still have a 68 50 in your system because I'd love to know how it performs in what games you play on it.

 And hopefully I will see you all in the next video.
