Following up from my HD 3870 video — this time I picked up an untested HD 3850 from 2007 for $9.90. Cleaned it, repasted it and threw it at 6 games on a Core 2 Duo rig. • GTA San Andreas • CoD4 Modern Warfare • Tomb Raider Underworld • Just Cause 2 • NFS Most Wanted • Crysis Temps hit 106°C but it survived.

    Haha yeah the temps were wild! The i5-4785T is way more power efficient. The whole point here was to see if this ancient dedicated GPU could still hold up — and somehow it did despite trying to melt itself!
