Hello everyone and welcome back to another Budget Builds Episode where today we've certainly got something that people have wanted to see on the channel for nearly a decade...After far too much time I finally did it...I bought the LEGENDARY 8800 GTX...Oh and I got it for a bit of a steal too. So join me today as we find out if the "Dawn of Modern GPUs" Reputation and its 756MB of VRAM is enough to power through the world of 2026, and much much more. Enjoy!
