I paid $10 for a Radeon HD 4850 with a Zalman cooler — only hit 53°C in 2026
Following up from my HD 3850 video — this time a Gigabyte HD 4850 with Zalman aftermarket cooler for $10. Cleaned it, repasted it and tested on 6 games on a Core 2 Duo rig.

I remember having a 4850 from MSI. That fan looked similar and was quite loud.

I would have thought this generation and beyond required recent gpus for decent emulation

Haha yes the fan noise on these old cards was something else! The Zalman cooler on this one is actually surprisingly quiet compared to the stock coolers."

Haha that's actually a great idea — might have to try that in a future video!

It would, I think the point made by rpcs3 dev is that recent bring-up for that generation's R600 driver has effectively unblocked it for use in such cases
RPCS3 now running on an ATI HD 4890 too using the R600 mesa driver. Last minimum requirements test was on an HD 5850
