  • I paid $9.90 for a 19-year-old Radeon HD 3850 — it hit 106°C and still gamed

  • Haha the old rig is intentional — it's a retro build for testing old GPUs. That's kind of the whole point of the channel!

  • That's a fair point about the premise — but as a nerd myself, I'd still click out of curiosity. Not just 'does it work' but HOW does it work at 106°C? And what FPS does a Core 2 Duo at 3.8GHz actually push in 2026? That combo is what got me curious enough to test it. Also, thanks for taking the time to give detailed feedback — genuinely helpful for improving future videos

  • Fair point, I appreciate the honest feedback. Still figuring out what works best. What kind of thumbnail would you prefer for this type of content?

  • Haha fair enough, it's AI generated. The real card looked way less dramatic but way more dusty

    Tested CoD4 and Crysis 1 on a 19-year-old $10 GPU in 2026 — results were surprising

  • Haha a keychain from the die would actually be awesome! And yeah, when that display corruption showed up I genuinely thought it was dead — was shocked that a clean and repaste fixed it. The oven bake trick is impressive, glad you got your data back!

  • Oh wow, that's actually a cool piece to keep! The ATI logo on the die looks amazing up close.

  • That 5770 is actually on my list to test! Stay tuned — it's coming in a future video

  • Funny you mention that — the 3850 is actually my next video!
