Now it's just about that time of year again.

Ever since I bought myself a GTX 7 50 t i a few years ago, it fast became one of my favorite graphics cards.

But I'm sure you longtime viewers a just about sick of hearing about it.

I once said, though, upon upgrading that, I would revisit it again every year to check out its performance and see how well it holds up.

When it comes to running the latest on demanding titles today, we're doing just that once again to see if this card still represents a decent budget choice.

I mentioned it in my great used GP use list a few videos ago.

So now I'll be putting my money where my mouth is and seeing just what it can do in 2018 running the latest drivers and playing some of the latest games.

Today we've got the E v g, a super cop tradition to look at and one that still requires no PC.

I'II connectors.

A huge part of why these air still so appealing, especially for those on a budget or for people with weaker power supplies, but enough chit chat.

Let's get into the games.

The first title in this video is actually the newest and probably the most demanding.

Some would use the word un optimized, but Assassin's Creed Odyssey is definitely a fun one, and I'm the less with 7 50 ti i.

I had to turn things down to medium Onda.

Adjust the resolution ever so slightly to run the game at 900 P.

Now, this didn't differ too much from 10 80 p, but it will guarantee a closer to 30 frames per second experience.

In fact, 30 frames per second was the average, and I'd recommend capping the frame rate to 30.

Otherwise it does get a little bit jumpy.

No, I chose this area of the game, um, an area that you'll discover so of in the second chapter of the story without giving too much away.

But it seems to be more demanding than other areas that I've explored on the map.

It's certainly more demanding than the first island of Catalonia that you start the game on.

So I decided to bench market around her out here.

The average of 30 is a combined average which is taken from sort of doing lots of different things, exploring the open sea, running around a few of the endgame islands.

I mean, this map is absolutely massive, so there's tons to do on your frame.

Rate will differ accordingly.

But here, overall assessing screen after about two hours of game play and we saw 30 F.

P s on average Now, when it came to call of duty World War two, the 7 50 t I managed to play the game just fine, a 10 80 p.

In fact, I let the game choose its own settings of first adjusted the resolution to 7 20 p, and I thought that was a little bit low and that we could do a lot better than that.

It turns out we could, because a 10.

80 p with a mixture of medium and high settings, we averaged 70 frames per second during the opening couple of levels.

It might be worth capping the frame rate to 60 f.

P.

S just to avoid any sort, sudden spikes in frames.

But overall, it was a very nice experience indeed.

Call of duty World War Two is rather varied when it comes to not only performance, but how it looks, depending on what you do with the settings.

So it's pretty much ready to run on even those weaker entry level cards, too, although isn't without its performance issues and some hardware.

I have had some problems with, but here the 7 50 t I two gigabyte runs it absolutely, flawlessly.

Just don't go turning everything upto ultra, and that applies throughout.

Really next step.

It's fortnight, and once again it ran perfectly high settings.

10 80 p.

The game actually also adjusted to epic settings with her 7 20 p render scaling.

But I cracked that back up to 10 80 p, lowered the settings overall, toe high, turned off motion blur and, of course, kept V sink off as well, which in turn gave us a very smooth 70 frames per second or round about four nights.

When those games that I started off really not liking and after a couple of months of playing it, I still don't really like it over.

In all honesty, it's definitely a fun ones of playing the game that will run quite well on some budget cards.

You know, some people ask me Why is it so demanding?

Or why does it run so badly on their system?

And all I can say is that it runs on the Unreal engine, which has been known Thio cause a few performance issues with some systems.

Of course, it's quite demanding Engine, and although the game doesn't look like much, it can present a few issues.

On some occasions here, though, once again, it was a perfect experience from the 7 50 t I.

The next game actually surprised me quite a bit.

Faults the horizon four here with the 7 50 t I, and we were able to hit 45 frames per second at 10 a teepee with the medium pretty set.

Now, upon launching the game, will detect your system and set things accordingly.

It will pretty much tell you what preset it's going to use, and I just went with the flow here.

I let it choose Medium jumped into the game, although you will still get a few low video memory warnings.

I thought this only happened on one gigabyte cards, but it turns out that it happens on to get cards as well.

You can just ignore that, though and I think there might even be a way to turn that off because there really wasn't any issues running this game with this GPU.

I mean, the map is quite big, quite varied, But all in all, you'll have a pretty decent time playing forts out with a graphics card like this one.

Next up, it's player unknowns, battle grounds, and we weren't quite able to achieve 60 frames per second here on average.

We did get around 50 to 55 most of the time at 10 80 p, but we did have to turn things down to low as well.

I think very low settings may have done the trick, but I'm excited to keep things at low because for me it's still run very well.

And I think for the difference in graphics between low and very low, you're better off just keeping it at a slightly higher preset and getting around 50 to 55 frames per second Instead.

That's my opinion anyway.

But of course, if you want that solid 60 40 determined to get that 60 f p s, then very low would be best for you and best for these card a lower resolution will also do the trick, but a 10.

80 p.

You should have no problems.

There was no heavy stuttering anything like that, actually saying that there were one or two instances where the frame rate dropped completely.

But all in all, it was pretty decent overall.

Next up, we have another open world racing game in the form of the crew to now, this one takes place in a completely open world USA.

It's a very fun game to play.

On the 7 50 t, I seemed to handle it quite well.

10 80 p medium settings.

Once again, we averaged 40 frames per second.

This is probably the second most demanding game then that we've tested today.

Aside from Assassin's Creed Odyssey, of course, that it was a pretty decent experience.

You can switch between vehicles quite quickly, like a car or motorbike, airplane and boat.

And on a few occasions when I did that, I did experience some frame drops.

But it was nothing too bad.

Nothing too major.

There is just a general game glitch where the airplane that you switched to will just stop in mid air and fall out of the sky but you can't do anything about that.

As I say, That's just a again problem.

An engine problem as opposed to a GPU problem.

Let's move on to the last title today.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow six Siege.

This is actually a very well optimized game from my experience, and we were able to run this one with the high settings at 10 80 p and we saw a pretty fantastic average.

I ran through the first sort of opening training level, as well as doing a couple of terrorist hunts as well, and I have to say that it was a pretty decent experience.

The benchmark test came back with a similar average f ps two up for to show you real world gameplay.

In most instances, I think it's safe to say that the 7 50 t I is still a decent budget card if you can get it for around sort of 50 to £70 dollars or euros.

The 10 30 is similarly priced in a lot of markets, but the 7 52 I will still be the better performer I've found in most instances, and it still supports pretty decent and modern features like for example.

Shadow play, which is a cent chill.

If you want to record gameplay without the use of an external capture card, for example, Shadow play.

I use it all the time.

There's barely any frame rate dropped when you do use it as well, and it's ideal if you want to make videos.

Years after launch in this car still seems to be proving its own, even in some of the most demanding titles today.

Assassin's creed, however, going back to that title for a minute will have a little bit of trouble.

But then, Assassin's Creed is known to have trouble on a lot of GP use.

Even with my 10 70 I do see some pretty horrific.

Stater's on the frame rate does drop to the thirties or forties in some instances, too.

So it doesn't matter what you're using.

The game just will.

Absolutely, I have issues.

So all that's left to say is hopefully joined me in 2019 1 will be taking another look at the 7 50 t I the two gig version.

Of course, now they do to a four gig version, but I'd have to say if you're going to purchase one or thinking about buying one right now.

Then the two big One will do just fine.

I don't think the 7 50 t I has the power to make use of all that v.

Aram.

I've never really looked into it properly, but the two gig one is the one that's most common, the one that most people go for.

Andi, as you saw that it will still do a fine job of running a lot of gains even at full HD resolution.

Pricewise.

You can find some great bargains on these now.

And if you're stuck between one of these and say a 10 30 for example, to be honest, A.

The one is a good choice.

The 10 thirty's newer but the 7 52 I will offer slightly more power, at least for my experience.

So has the ways.
