The official youtube channel of budget construction has launched Minecraft on a 2005 video card with only 8 MB of Video memory (VRAM). According to Tom's hardware, the experiment was performed on the old PC with Windows XP, AMD Athlon 64 and 1 GB of RAM. 3D Phantom XP-2800 Video Card from Thong technology with SIS 305 chip has been used.
To launch Minecraft Alpha, the first version of the game, I had to reduce the resolution to the minimum and turn off most graphic settings. The result is about 18 frames 20 frame per second (FPS). Modern Minecraft requirements include Windows 10, 2 GB RAM and Intel HD Graphics 4000.
8 MB is a negligible volume compared to modern maps, of which dozens of Gigabytes have become the standard. The success of the experiment is compared to the launch of the destruction on inappropriate devices, has become a kind of challenge.
