i'm looking through the computer shop
and i want to find
the cheapest cpu money can buy
and i'm looking through and i'm looking
through and there it hits me
a celeron and it's only 59
aussie dollars and i think that's about
45
us dollars but for this 59 aussie
dollars
can you play games on this cheap
two core two threaded cpu in 2021
well then tech citizens there is only
one way to find out and that is to go
hit the yes mobile
and go get this dual core and then put
it to the test
if you've got this annoying windows
needs activation message and you want to
get rid of it for cheap then today's
video sponsor scd keys has you covered
for as little as 14 bucks after you use
the coupon code pftyc you can get
yourself a legit
single end user windows 10 license today
links in description below and here we
are now
back with the gene 5905 this is an lga
1200 socket so you will need at least
the h410 motherboard
in order to get this cpu to work but it
does have hd
610 graphics on board two cores two
threads
and you get an included cooler so let's
see if this thing
that looks kind of decent on paper let's
see if it can actually
play some games
so we just finished up a few different
titles here with an rx 578 gigabyte
edition
and i'm kind of i'm gonna be honest
already i'm a little bit
surprised a little bit shocked actually
that this two-core
two-threaded cpu could for starters it
was playing cs go absolutely fine
and was getting over 100 average fps
actually kind of smooth
i could get frags easily with this
little cpu right here
and here's the thing with csgo and this
is going to be a general trend
in relation to this cpu and especially
that cheap price point notice cs go is
free to play
so a lot of people play it it's
competitive multiplayer but also doesn't
cost anything to buy this game
and then play it online so it was
playing it really well now i will say
one thing about all the titles i tested
here and that is
once i started benchmarking with the
capture software from the gpu itself
it did add more strength so when i was
doing the fps numbers i was doing it
without
capturing the footage on the camera so i
was making the fps essentially
what you would expect if you were just
buying the cpu and just playing games
so csgo really good then we move over to
fortnight and fortnite's a little bit
funny because
they recommend an i3 which as a minimum
has
four threads and so when they when i saw
this i3 recommendation i was like okay
maybe
the two cause is going to struggle here
and sure enough
it impressed me it was playing fortnite
absolutely fine i was getting
frags on this title with the competitive
settings and we're getting over
a hundred fps which honestly is very
impressive
for considering going into this how
apparently useless two threads was meant
to be
so that was that title done and dusted
as well pretty
good outcome so far but of course we
move into a title like f1 2020
and this is where it really starts to
tank now f1 2020 they recommend an i3 at
minimum so
their fourth thread requirement for this
game is holding true if you don't have
four threads you're going to get a very
undesirable experience where
it's just not playing the game it's
getting pretty much under 20 fps you're
going to get a horrible experience in f1
2020
then moving over to cyberpunk uh we got
past the menu
and we were trying to load up the game
and the game was just essentially stuck
in permanently loading up the game it
just wouldn't work so
the newer titles aren't working with the
two course two threads
but then going back to the popular
multiplayer titles which are all free to
play
it's getting good fps and even testing
out dota 2 we're again
getting over 100 average fps so here's
the thing with this setup so far and
that is we tested it out with an rx 570
a gigabyte which honestly you're going
to be over paying for especially a
gigabyte model
if you're in the market for a gpu
because all the crypto miners are buying
them up
what if you just wanted to get this cpu
and use its hd 610 graphics on board
would you be able to play even at 720p
dota 2 fortnite or cs go
let's quickly put that to the test and
come back
[Music]
and now we're back with the g5905
celeron right here with its onboard hd
610
graphics now straight away i'm not going
to this is not going to be one of those
videos where
we're endorsing this celeron by any
means but
i came out of this well i came into this
video first of all
thinking this thing would be completely
useless for gamers
now i'm coming out of it with the sense
of
it depends on who you are when i do make
recommendations i do make them
thinking about all different types of
people all over the world regardless of
where you are
and that's the biggest thing it depends
on
where you are in the world a celeron
g5905
might be the only thing you can buy and
looking at how
stock is and everything else in the
world right now things are totally
messed up
where i'm at locally 10 100 f's are now
starting to run out of stock everyone's
bought them up
so this seller on here might be the only
thing that you can buy
like literally and if that's the case
then it'll do the job as we saw in this
video providing
you know its limits and if the game
doesn't support those two cause two
threads
like we saw with say cyberpunk or f1
2020
then it's going to be a bit of a hard
time and after testing out the onboard
graphics for the g5905 that's the hd16
graphics
i was left like kind of not disappointed
it's going to sound weird because given
the price point of this cpu
i'm going to say i'm not disappointed in
that the hd graphics did deliver a
surprisingly a smooth experience on dota
2 at the lowest settings at 720p
and also cs go was playable as well
especially when i hear reports of
people who are on laptops and they're
only getting 15 fps
this thing was like delivering 45 to 50
fps
on cs go but then fortnite for instance
wouldn't even boot up anymore
with the onboard hd16 graphics so the
g5005
i'm not going to come out of this video
saying that this thing's amazing don't
get me wrong but
coming into this video i thought this
cpu right here this celeron would be
completely useless for gaming period
but coming out of the video now i'm
thinking along the lines of
and this is the thing when i make a
recommendation for you guys i
always think about everyone
in the world where they are and
depending on the situation that's going
on
where they are and here's the thing
about the situation right now
it's completely messed up stock levels
wherever you are in the world
you may not be able to even buy
something like a 10 100 f where i'm at
locally
surprisingly the i3 10 100 f's now are
getting sold out
and gpus are starting to get sold out
and the prices of the gpus the retailers
they
know that there's this demand that's
coming in from those crypto miners and
they're just
jacking up the prices now to ridiculous
levels because they know
these guys are looking at these uh gpus
and they're like well i want to get
those returns and
it's only another 20 days at current
rates i'll get these gpus they're gonna
it's insanely good investment times and
they're going all crazy and buying up
all the gpus that's from the crypto
miners then the gamers are like well
this gpu has been promised for x amount
of money and now it's like 50
above retail i'm just gonna wait and so
if you want something to proverbially
wait out the storm then this cpu
could be a decent choice and i will say
one thing the ryzen 3000g
if you can get that for a similar price
or even just a little bit more
definitely go for that that's two cores
four threads and it's onboard graphics
portion will give you
a boost in fps especially at 720p so
if you can get the 3000g where you are
or even if you want to go on aliexpress
and get the 3000g for
say 78 delivered then
that would be a better choice than the
celeron g5905 here
but if you are where you are locally and
this cpu is coming in at the right price
safety
you can get a cheap h410 motherboard and
you can get a really cheap graphics card
even like a
gtx 750 then this two cores two threads
are still going to do the job it's going
to play some of those popular
multiplayer titles
and it's going to do it with decent fps
so
again i'm not going to sit here in these
times and circumstances and say
this cpu is completely useless because i
don't think it is and so going forward
from here on in
this reminds me of 2017
2018 all over again where
i think the lesson here is is that
sometimes
if you've got something and it can do
what you want it to do
then you shouldn't be judged by other
people about how bad or how good of a
purchase that was
and in this case if the seller on g5905
is all you can afford and that's the
only thing available where you are
and all you want to do is play some dota
2 or cs go or some fortnite
then by all means go get it and it's
going to serve you well
and given what's going on with this
crypto situation right it's
one of those things where i've seen it
all before where the gpus were all
getting bought out in 2017
there was crypto fever everyone thought
it was gonna go up and keep going up and
i remember i was on the phone to one of
my friends and he thought ripple was
going to ten dollars a ripple he said
brian you're a fool you've got to get
ripple now
i think it was like a dollar something
and i said to him i said man like
i don't see what buying a ripple at a
dollar is going to do for me personally
and then sure enough it was like a week
later and i actually made a video on my
channel at the time
talking about the um telling because i
was i was in this
crypto stuff i wanted to learn it and
learn it i did
and i was mining a thing called zen cash
and trust me i made some good money out
of that decision that was
a really profitable thing and i sold the
zen cash
when i was like at a peak and i actually
made a video telling people to sell it
but you'll see now the same thing's
going on we've got the same
wave of crypto rush coming in and all
these coins are coming out and all these
coins are going to change the world and
the world's going to be a better place
and
what's going to make the world a better
place is if we
actually start getting some real
productivity back
which all the underlying conditions
surrounding our economy right now aren't
being truly fixed
and people are looking at crypto as if
it's the answer going forward
when the answers going forward i don't
feel
crypto is going to solve it's sort of
like crypto's a band-aid and this
massive band-aid that's supposedly going
to fix all these problems when
the real underlying causes are actually
getting worse
so what i think i'm trying to say is is
at the moment if you want to go out and
buy the hardware
to use it for gaming that the crypto
miners want then you're going to be
paying
a lot for it and you're going to be
overpaying you're going to be getting
ripped off
and you're going to be getting ripped
off to the likes that you've never been
ripped off before
however if you want to wait it out the
proverbial storm
and i think things will come crashing to
a halt sooner or later because
you've got a whole system that's built
up on speculation
rather than productivity as we said
before and when that happens
you'll reach what's called the bubble's
tipping point the bursting point
and when that happens you're going to
see all this hardware that people were
going crazy for
it's going to go back on the market
cheap because it's going to be the
sudden rush
to want to sell the hardware and get it
off your hands
before the person x sells it for cheaper
so just like there's this rush going up
there'll be this rush going down and
when that happens
then you can get your gaming pc with the
higher end specs
for a lot cheaper so don't worry that
probably will come
sooner than later judging by at least
the research i'm doing here
also one thing about this cpus is
extremely cheap it'll go really well as
an office pc
it'll do great for a home theater pc or
a media box
and that's about it cheap cpu and
sometimes that's all you need in your
life but in terms of its raw value
if other parts out there in the market
like the 10 100 f or the ryzen 3000 g
are available and they've got decent
price tags attached to them
definitely consider getting those
options instead of the 10 100 f you get
a dedicated gpu
definitely consider going that route or
even say a ryzen 3 3 100
over this right here you'll be able to
play a lot more titles you'll really
last you a lot longer
if you do hear a lot of people hating on
this cpu right here it's probably
because
they might have something better and
they might be used to playing on better
gear
and they just might not understand that
sometimes all
people need is 60 fps and they need
something
and they don't have a whole lot of money
and they just need something to get them
through
this stormy weather with a global
pandemic attached on top
anyway guys with all that aside i'll
catch you in another tech video very
soon
if you enjoyed this one then be sure to
hit that like button for us also let us
know down in the comments below
what you think of the g5905 do you think
it's
like i'm saying you think it's not the
best value option but
of course in these times it is an option
love reading those thoughts and opinions
as
always just like this question of the
day here which comes from bob
lecule and they ask so higher end pcs
are the new build metal
and recently like especially before
christmas before things got out of
control
i was building some rtx 3070 pcs and i
was doing very well in terms of
flipping those pcs and that was kind of
to me that was coming in as the new meta
definitely that was the new way to
flip pcs that was what the market was
definitely soaking up at the time
that's what i was finding but going
forward right now
the matter is if you can get a 30 70 or
a 30 60 ti if you can even get one of
these graphics cards
then by all means do that because people
are just buying them up and the prices
of them are starting to
just i've seen them in even in like the
last two days at my local retailers
the prices of ones that are available
have shot up just instantly a hundred
dollars
you remember this is a 500 usd card and
in australia they're going for like 1150
aussie dollars now for an rtx 3070 so
traditionally you can get these back
around a few months ago you get them
around
850 aussie dollars so there's your 300
profit just out the window and so people
who are buying gaming pcs generally
don't want to pay
too much for that premium and so
this whole crypto thing is messing
things up so i'm kind of just sitting
here i'm sort of laying low because i am
doing some low end builds but
they're moving a lot slower than what
i'm used to flipping pcs and i've been
speaking to a lot of people
they're saying the same thing especially
where i'm locally of course i know
some people in different markets are
having much different successes but
where i'm locally it's a very slow time
for um low budget and then high end it's
very strapped for actually getting the
parts and flipping the pc
so very very weird market i again
going back to 2017 very similar story
all over again this was
one of those times where flipping pcs
was slow back in the crypto boom
because everything was overpriced and if
you could get a gaming pc together
for a good price of course you could
flip it but even now there's this whole
pressure coming in from the used market
itself from the older pcs were sold in
the last couple of years
they're all coming on the market there
now so it's not really a good time
to be flipping used gaming pcs where i
am locally i will say that
but that's the balance and remember guys
there's always a balance and i've said
this in the past
and people were wondering why i was
going so hard last year it's like
check yes do you ever stop in 2020 i
mean i remember if my friends just asked
me like they're like dude you got to
slow down.
and i just said to a man when it rains
and pause brother so
i last year in 2020 i had the buckets
out you know in full force and i filled
all their buckets up so
i kind of expected 2021
not from crypto i didn't expect the
crypto thing to get so big
but i expected the balance to shift in
that a lot of people bought gaming pcs
in 2020
and i expected that to come down to a
downtick in 2021
so that's just the balance thing as well
never forget that
so anyway we've gone off on so many
tangents on
not just the question of the day here
today but also the video on the g5905 if
you guys like the tangents and you like
going off on these tangents
do let us know in the comments because
as always with this channel
i love discussing things about just the
the market
what the real story is on the street
and that's just i guess that's what i
love doing so
i'll catch you guys in another tech
video very soon if you stayed this far
and you joined that tech yes content be
sure to hit that sub button ring
that bell and i'll see you in the next
one peace out for now
[Music]
bye
