- Hello and Welcome to another Budget Builds Episode where today we'll be taking a look at the cheapest graphics card on EBay...Which cost me a whole 51p. Allegedly being a HD4550 it turned out to HD3450, so not only was it cheap I ended up getting scammed. But can it game, and for 51p do I even really care about it.

CPU: Ryzen R5 1600 @3.7Ghz
GPU: HD3450 (With an OC)
RAM: 8GB DDR4 2666Mhz
Finally! A GPU i can afford!
if you can find one
All the miners bought them out! I've heard they are even sawing Intel chips in half for the integrated graphics, they leave nothing alive!
hd 5850 is better!!! 60$$
It is to expensive for me
SAME
This card is amazing!!! I’m totally getting one for my 240p monitor 😑
Great video 👍
+F2F Tech: Maybe then we can play GTA V with scan lines.
F2F Tech I need this, my RX470 totally doesn't do my 1080P monitor justice.
lol! ive been playing cs go with scan lines for nearly a year xD
I'll stick to my 1080p monitor
This is too new for my display, do any of you have a GPU that support Gas Plasma displays.
I love one thing about this card...
I can say, MY INTEL HD IS BETTER!
My Intel HD4400 is better than this 51p graphics card and can't get above the teens FPS on Low mode playing F1 2015 :D
@@TheSpotify95 My HD7450 Still better than 3570 and intel hd 4400
My rx vega 11 is better 😉
my hd 4600 runs gta 4 at 30fps
My hd3470 is worse than this tho
240p :D
Yeah, that reminds me of the broken laptop he got that he also had to play GTA5 on in 240p :p
it's like old dos games...
my pc can't even handle youtube on this resolution
Hello back '90s PS1 gaming! :-D
stevan i feel your pain, i just moved and should be getting it set up by like next week, the pain is finally over!
WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS
82F GDT wait the ps2 star wars battlefront is in this video???
82F GDT yay!!!
You know it's bad when you have to lower the resolution all the way down to 240p, well at least it was cheap. ;)
Edit: also I felt like I've seen a HD3450 before and yes I've, I actually own a HD3450! Though luckily for me I got it for free. I've only used it once.
Dedicatings I remember 2 years ago when I used my grandmas older Vista PC which is also from 2006 and It was painful since it was really showing it's age, which was understandable since was filled with dust for over 8 years. Though at least it ran Sims 2 fine and a little less fine with Minecraft with the lowest settings + optifine around 30fps with dips.
ComputerCatGaming I've got a 3450 as well, and it did fairly poor when I tested it in a video
BootlegScarce actually my family had a Vista power house (3GB RAM, 2 X 500GB HDD,some good AMD cpu, GeForce GPU) and it kicked ass so my relation to Vista is quite good ;) sadly it died from overheating, should've cleaned it. *RIP Vista powerhouse 2007-2012*
I upgraded from the HD3450 to a HD4550 way back in 2009. 80 shaders v 40 shaders made a big difference and was able to play L4D at 1280x1024 quite happily. Unfortunately the card died a few years back - served in another pc for a few years for it's media playing abilities.
Interesting in the fact you had to fix it first with the oven fix. Performance wise, if you can call it that being compared to a 210 GT is pretty sad.
I need to know is it legal to emulate in the uk? If not I’m reporting you to the police
Cmd56000 haha what
+Cmd56000: Emulation is completely legal, as the code is completely open source... Even Nintendo used emulation on the SNES and NES Mini, aswell as working on a port of the games for the Nvidia Shield.
No coppers today
Cmd56000 emulation is completely legal as long as the emulator does not copy the bios or os components from the actual system (which is usually considered a copyright infringement so most emulators either require you to provide the bios yourself or they replicate the functionality of it in their own code) the part that can be illegal is the rom files you play on them (distibuting the rom files can be considered piracy but at the time of writing this its still kindof a grey area) however the common mood i see is its fine to play the rom files on emulators if you already legally own the game
Should have reported it as a scam and got that 51p back, you could have brought a pack of chewies with that.
Can he refund his sanity?
Not sure how Chewy would feel about being valued that cheaply. Wookies have bad tempers and are easily offended
Chewies are a sweet but do have the occasional hair in them.
Exactly!!!
I love seeing old tech being cleaned up and repurposed and touched up, this video was amazing.
Only on Budget-Builds Official does one use ancient cables more expensive than your graphics card.
Guthrie Glasgow DMS-59 is still used frequently today in business workstations for people who need multiple monitors at once e.g. stock traders.
240p is the good ol resolution for N64
TheLastPerez even n64’s res was higher
N64 was i think 360 or even 480p
N64 didn't do 480p but 480i (with the Expansion Pak as mentioned). That means it still only rendered 240 lines every frame, just alternatingly between the odd and even lines to still make up a resolution of 480p (but blurrier and with interlacing artifacts).
This thing is a massive disappointment, almost as much as my gt 540m
HoppsTech oh,the gt540m was not bad at all,the problem is that the guy 540m is available in two versions, a64 bit bus which is slowly,and a 128 bit which is much faster,I have an Asus x53s which has the fast one and it is very good for it's age.
Groza Adrian I have a Sony Vaio F Series with an i7 2630qm, and 8gb of ram. It's a massive bottleneck, I'm just hoping to find a way to jerry rig up a gpu box
In your case I think you are royally screwed because Sony has a very nasty habit of changing the GPU in such a way that standard drivers do not install,so you have to wait for Sony to deliver drivers (which happens almost never).
I remember my first 'gaming laptop' with my gt 555m I mean, it was good for league?? haha
My GT 540m is a dud.
Once I got all old PCs from my school and all in them had this graphics card (HD3450) in it like in the video, now I have 20 laying there and waiting until they sell!
Yes I got very lucky, and as always like I write every video great job man I love your videos! I am so happy to be one of your first subscribers. It just feels like an achievement to me!
I love your channel, and with your accent is just a perfect combo, thanks.
Didn't even know you could play GTA 5 in 240p
JakonDeluxe Me either
I configured it manually in the ini file.
@@UrbanLetsPlay 240p is just 1/4 of 640x480, at a resolution 320x240
@@UrbanLetsPlay You can - go into the INI, set shadows to 0 (disables them), find the resolution and change it to "640" and "480" respectively. Then go back in and set 0.5 resolution scaling.
Should give you 240p with no shadows (and everything else turned off).
If your PC supports Direct X 10, it should run the game at those settings.
@@TheSpotify95 yuck... Lol
You pitting that gimp GPU in such a beast of a rig is such a wawa moment.
GTA V look Like GTA III
lol, i cooked a flatscreen smart tv's mother board in that i found the microwave to make it work, it completely fixed the problem and gave me a new 50 inch tv lol
Hey! You benchmarked battlefront 2! Thanks!
Dimentios It's good that he didn't benchmarked the new disaster by EA
Laughing Joking Numbnuts thats mean, i dont think hurricane harvey would be happy with that comparison.
The GT 1030 and RX 550 look like gods compared to this :D
Alexander Yordanov the gt 1030 overclocks really well
+Alexander Yordanov: Now I kinda wanna get an RX550.
IMHO both rx 550 and gt 1030 are overpriced for what they are. 15-20 dollars less? great replacements for the legendary 5450 and gt 210 (:D )
I beat yo ass on an old ATI 5770, Ornstein. :)
To be fair, my current GPU is a Fury :D
I mean that I beat Dark Souls (Ornstein is a boss there) on a 5770 (which isnt hard as the GPU eats the game fairly easily).
Great video! I was impressed by Fable’s framerate and how great it looked.
I wish I could overclock my HD 4670 like that. I can overclock the memory though, which was what helped the computer.
It’s great that this channel is still doing great. The reason I am not active, is because simply I had lost interest in computer stuff. However, I’m going to Berlin, Germany and I will build a new PC with GTX 1060. So, I am interested in PC stuff once again. The reason I am not active in the discord is, I don’t use discord often. You can get rid of the admin rank that I have if you want. I do try to moderate when I come on, but no one is breaking the rules.
I would like a special role because I’m a special snowflake
+kakoka1pro: We will give you a special rank man, keep up the good work, good luck in Berlin!
51 pence when this card went on sale was actually the price of new car. Also the original drivers were in black and white with subtitles. Nice video. My uncle in China say tanktdu vuru mutch.
just got 5 nvs 295s for 1.2 pounds each today, and i listed them for 6 pounds each. student life, man.
Still remember when you used to have lke 800 subs. Awesome growth dude! keep doing this amazing content.
I had it 15 fps 240p gta 4.
*I COMPLETED THE ENTIRE GAME ON 15 FPS THO*
Skap lend me some of your patience man
Your pc shit mane
Me too. With a X1550 Series on 640x480 resolution, Framerate: 15-25 FPS (The 1550x Series have a 66 passmark average).
mine got 15-7 fps on nfsmw 2005 and I beat the game
I remember back in the day, there was the HD 3450M (laptop version)
Not a bad graphics card by all means, good for budget 720p gaming in the e-sports title at the time.
Once again a smashing fucking video. I LIVE for this shit
btw thanks a buttload for that end screen dude seriously you don't know what that means well maybe you do idk
I freaking love TechTubers who review low-end garbage and fake tech. Instant subscribe!
gta V at 240p looks like a ps1 or ps2/xbox game.
VasbochGaming
I Know...
Amazing how it scales though
Yeah.
But Xbox looks better (1080p/1080i on component/VGA cables)
Great stuff! 😆😂
"I've never shouted at a card so much" 🤣
i LOVE the battlefront 2 part :'D
Thanks man, I got caught up playing it.
Budget-Builds Official I mean, it is amazing, and i can't find a reason for the lootbox hate, havent found them yet :^)
Machsten du hier xD
NayronFX Kuhl sein B-)
did you know that this one is the classic battlefront 2 (2005) and not the 2017 one right?
I'm so happy you put in your main system. Any other system may have bottlenecked this beast.
They look like PS2 games now.
GTA V looked like it was on Nintendo DS....
@@mchacker2234 nope
@@nathanmead140 ya it did
@@mchacker2234 no because the ds/dsi has a small screen so those games look better on a real DS
After watching this, I am going back to watch it in 240p. I think it was a good deal, considering it was never a high end card. For people who like Old games, and are building PCs for that purpose, instead of using VMs, it looks like a very good deal.
i like the new intro music
CalculatinGenius it’s always been that you idiot
No. It changed instruments. It used to be different
Look up "I wouldn't want to be like you" by Alan parsons
Next time when you clean a cpu, remove the fan, it had 3 screws, and a 3 wire plug to undo, then behind the cooler here should be a sticker with a optional rubber ring, peel half of the sticker and remove the ring (if any) then take a needle and put a few drops of fine machine oil, the one use in mechanics such as sewing machines for example, DO NOT use any other lube type, sprays, wd40, alcohol etc. Spin the cooler a bit, add more fine machine oil but don't over do it. Put it back together and it will reduce the noise considerably, it did winders for my 2008 GT 9500!
When the cable costs more than the card
4:07 Time Attack from SEGA GT 2002. Oh my god the memories it brings back! *tears*
I think its worth more in scrap plastic .
Probably
it's*
I just picked up a 6450 1Gb card for $12. You've inspired me to try out a few cheaper options just for the amusement of watching them struggle.
God I remember buying some of these years ago for my SFF pc Ahaha
For an SFF maybe it'll work... If you like 240p gameplay or only play older games ;D
All good ahaha, ended up finding a 750Ti (legit one) cheap.
Dude, these freaking things were OEM in my schools old computer lab. I never thought I'd see one outside of there, crazy.
That ati was used on wii
+enrique navarro: The Wii used a chip similar to the X1550. Which is a different architecture completely.
I've seen so many of those things at the E-recycling/Refurbishing place I work at. They're pretty much junk, but they still sell, so we don't send them straight to the reclaim department. You can get DMS cables with DVI connections, but that won't improve much, if anything.
I managed to buy a hd5570 from CEX for 1.5 pounds the sapphire 1gb DDR3 version
I got a gtx 480 for £6.50 last year
Andrei Bolo make a video on it XD
I would send it to our reviewer to test it, if he would send it back :D
Andrei Bolo i wouldn't then say that. Someone gave me a free gpu
FINALLY!!! Someone showed the "classic" Battlefront!
In the middle of building a budget build.Wish me luck.
Good Luck!
I've got an i3 550, 4gb ddr3 ram and a hd 7770 (2gb version). I will also be my first pc so I'm a little scared. any advice?
Get 4Gb more DDR3 ASAP, you could have saved some money by getting the 1GB Version of the HD7770, but aside from the lack of RAM looks good
BigStarGamer ground yourself and don't build on carpet. If you could try getting 6gb of ram could be useful.
Cheers. You're always so helpful in the comments.
Just picked one up from charity for £5, love it!
What was the temperature in the oven?
Just in case... I'm going to build a Pentium 4 with a 3dfx Voodoo3 3000... Hehehehe 👌😉
Dank
If it has a pci e x16 slot one of these could work
Hey for £15 I got 2 sockets 775 motherboards the first has a basic Pentium 4 and the second has a Core 2 Quad q6600 which was pretty cool. I also got an HD 5450, 7800 GTX, fx5200, about 6 cd drives, 2 audio cards, 3 ide cables, a modem card and a wifi card.
As soon as I got it it smelled horrifying. Everything was covered with a layer of sticky tar and a lot of dust. I got all of it even the power supply striped it all down and soaked it in the bath for an hour. the heatsinks were the worst and I found that Mr. Musle bathroom cleaner works well to remove tar. Anyway, after all that everything smelled a bit better but not much I can do about that. I put everything together after drying it with a hair dryer and letting it sit for a day. Everything worked. :)
(All thermal paste was replaced with arctic mx-4 and i have some new thermal pads for the gpu coming in the post)
Nice steal
Better than my graphix card it has 264 mb 😂
One redeeming quality of this card is it is running on the same architecture as the Radeon 2000 series. The Radeon HD 2000 and HD 3000 series processed 2D graphics completely differently than more modern cards, and some windows-embedded-based japanese arcade games were coded around this 2D processing. One great example is the Konami rhythm game 'beatmania IIDX'. Version 18 and 19 of the series used PCs featuring the Radeon HD 2400 cards. Those weren't actually very common or cheap around the time this game was being hacked/cracked for personal home-use. The HD 3450, however, was just a slightly boosted 2400 card, and was way more common to find lying around and for a lower price. Without using a card from this series, the games graphics feature diagonal slices through them and other minor distortions. So these cards are actually a welcome addition to anyone who wants to run those older versions of the game and other related games that used the same type of cards in their builds. Believe it or not the mini-DIN/S-video also comes in handy for when someone wants to use this on a proper CRT or arcade monitor from that era. (especially combined with appropriate component/vga/s-video conversion cable)
But can it run no mans sky...i give up on jokes
but can it run Crysis?*
FTFY
Why do you not have over 100k subs yet? Your channel and content is great!
To be fair the channel is not even a year old... Give it time...
and i think my radeon hd 7470 is bad ...
Гот
I find it ironic that the cable to use the card is more costly than the card itself.
On a side note I work in IT for a large company, and we have tons of these basic display adapters laying around totally useless but they dont want us tossing them.
When GTA V showed up I thought it was San Andreas
Same
That game looked better but only on ORIGINAL XBOX
This is useful for people like me who are setting up servers. I don't need the best graphics card for a computer based server
@cjffjgj gjdhxfhd I'm not planning to run Windows, I'm gonna probably run a Linux server.
"...or 70 cents for those of you who use real money"

You can crossfire this with several AMD 7xx chip sets with integrated graphics. May get a small performance boost that way.

As soon as I saw the S-Video port I knew it was from a Dell. The 9300GE from an OptiPlex 780 I used to own also had one
i woke up with ur this notification and its 3 AM! the least you can do is pin me. . . . . . . . . great vid BTW! hehe.
wow wp friend
Berend: Not the nicest thing you could have said...
Budget-Builds Official sorry my friend I’ll delete it, I think it’s just really annoying that everyone NEEDS to have a like or a pin!
+Berend: Its cool man, a lot of people do it as a joke on these types of channels.
Budget-Builds Official oh ok I really enjoy your videos btw! :D
You should post more often. I watch these videos a lot, and one day, I realized that I had watched pretty much all of them : | Feed me.
Liked! and First
240p?
Ah, the cinematic 2006 CZcams classic resolution!
Its time for africa
I've had experience with this card after finding one in a scrap optiplex my uncle gave to me. What a beast.
Why even bother selling it for that much
In all honesty I didn't think I would get sent it.
Edmundo studios to build reputation in eBay, maybe
Daniel Lee Probably not good feedback though if they sent a lower end card than advertised.
Yeah I'd probably claim item not as described, especially given it had to be fixed before being usable!
Try an HD 4850 for $0.01. When I won that auction I said, "What the hell?"
just found this channel, you've earned a sub my friend, great voice over, great presentation... i'll link you on the linustechtips forum aswel, some on there will love this channel
+One80ukmusic: Glad you enjoy it man.
I love that they blurred the guy out on the toilet though he clearly didn't pull down his pants lol
I had this graphics card for years. I lived with the struggle of the card for such a long time that it low-key hurt me seeing how poor it performed in your tests. Oddly tho i remember Skyrim running much better than that. Being somewhat playable. Oblivion ran much better however so personally I played it more.
I was really surprised by the gta. If i still had that card i would've been perfectly fine playing gta like that lol. This card taught me that 20fps is playable if you want it to be.
The song that was playing takes me back to sega gt 2002
seeing that 240p GTAV took me back to my Playstation gaming days and gave a weird nostalgia vibe, I might actually try those settings out for some casual play (Although I am capable of Ultra since I upgraded my GPU last week)
I was actually quite supprised to see software inc in this video as usually these smaller indie games are never mentioned
i have this exact card on my desk right now, pulled it out of an Optiplex 7010 that I'm dismembering for parts at work :P
Ok so I’m genuinely curious, why did he put it in the oven?
This sometimes reflows some of the solder connections which may have become marginal.
this is the first videocard i ever used in a self built pc. a mainboard with cpu, fan, ram and this card cost me 10€ back then
00:40 that's some smooth editing man.
Cheers man
fun vid, one game i test on old hardware lately is sonic mania, fun to see what works and what doesn't.
MSI has a option in afterburner for AMD cards "Extend overclocking limits" I wish I had found it sooner 😭 but it extends the limits of those sliders! I found the same thing, I was maxing them out and I wanted to know if there was a way to make it go further. Sure enough there is! I wish there was a way to increase the power limits until the card basically fries, but I have yet to find a way of doing that on my ancient card. I'm currently using the first graphics card I ever bought when I thought all I needed was a "graphics card" to play games 😆 Radeon 6450, it's junk but it works, i'm just happy in outputs to a 1080p ultrawide at 75hz for normal day to day tasks.
I thought that was a toy screwdriver whenever you first put it on screen 😀😀😀
That GTA V gameplay gave me San Andreas throwbacks… 😭
I put it in the oven and to noones surprise it worked fine. This is the most correct thing any computer hardware enthusiast could ever say
loving these videos totaly fun and randomness great stuff
totally*
so this card worked after in the oven, must be some secret trick to improve gpu performance. let me go try it on my titan x
It is to fix poor or broken solder connections, as the heating re flashes the solder. Your last sentence make me think you were joking however.
I have a evga gtx 1070 ftw...but still watching!
That's some epic discount! :D and it still carries the ATi logo :') more memories
I would pay $1 to you for saving me from this heap of bollocks.
Wow. I'm actually impressed.
Very reliable card if you ask, never have problem running old game and emulator under window xp (Resident evil 4/5 ,paladins for example )30-40frame oc 600mhz/600 mhz and playable...!!
This was great, really liked the vid :)
lmao I remember playing games in 360p splitscreen and squinting so hard
I think I have one of these at home.....mine works. Tried it in an old HP optiplex. Weird output for it. I had to get a cable online and the screws don't extend to the card to let you secure the plug very well. It does work though. It's fun to see this terrible card featured here. S video is a decent option if you have a monitor that supports it though. I was able to emulate gamecube games on it somewhat decently. I actually played Wind Waker on it as well. It worked fine although when you get to the lava/fire heavy dungeon near the beginning of the game you get some weird graphics glitches with the "heat wave" effect they use.
Okay, GTA V in 240p actually looks like a really cool retro title for the PS1.
Very good video, keep up the good work
I think that this card can run just fine games like Monster Truck Madness 2 (1998), Motoracer (1997), Deus Ex (2000), Willrock (2003), Titanic adventure out of time (1996), and Motocross Madness (also from 2000), still plenty of games this card can run. I wouldn't run any games with this card newer than from 2005 though.
Me: oh that sucks!
Me after hearing GameCube emulation running smoothly: *I N E E D T H I S !!!* And while I'm at it buy, a $10 desktop!
I'm eBay. And you've been scaaaaamed
