Can you still use the I7 860 in 2024?

[@chadmckean9026]

wow, i upgraded from a 4690k a few years ago to a ryzen 3600, cause my boards sata port where being a pita i could feel the performance uplift in light task, i was still using a 2gb 650 ti boost, later i picked up a 1060 3gb for cheap, later i found a bargain rx 580 (sold broken cause of a bad fan) and sold the 1060 (broke even selling it) i may upgrade the gpu after the next gen launches when people start dumping there 'old' cards cheap. video editing on that rig must be painful

[@Mazendrak]

It's not that bad, but its not very good either

[@Lithium19]

Lack of AVX + AVX2 will be a roadblock.

An optiplex 790 with a GPU is actually a decent choice. It works pretty well. I used it for a few months with a GTX 1050 slim and I could play most games I wanted easily and it did not feel too slow. It is a PC from 2011

[@Mazendrak]

Yeah, office prebuilts with a gpu are usually pretty good

[@JustDoom]

@@Mazendrak Good and can be super cheap. About $130 total AUD for the base PC and upgraded parts, 8GB DDR3, 1tb hdd, and a CPU/GPU upgrade. Such a good deal

[@QckSilver]

What made me sad with this CPU is the lack of AVX... Nonetheless, i still have a "Retro" PC with a i7 870 overclocked to 3.8Ghz and a GTX 680 to play some older stuff on W7. I honestly love this CPU due to how cold it is and how effortlessly if can overclock. Played a lot of PS2 and some PS3 games with emulation on this CPU and it was always nice

[@pyierry]

Bro what I found interesting about your video is that I have a very similar spec to your pc, but with the order of the parts like ´´reversed´´, cuz i have got an i5 760 which is worse than your i7 but I have a 1050 2gb which It's better than the 750, it's a nice coincidence but i think the cool part of these old combos is that they can still provide some performance in lighter games, like in GTA V, and still be usable to everyday usage

[@happycat0411]

You can even use a Q6600 with a Quadro K600 in 2024 as long as you are doing just Office work, surfing the web, watching KZbin/movies, Facebook, online purchasing and doing online chat.... Gaming is only one single part of how a computer can be used...! To each individual person a computer has it own unique personal use!

Wow, I'm surprised every time when I see a benchmark about these old chips, btw I have too a massive x58 setup . Firstly i had a i7-930 for so many years , This year I got upgrade to a xeon w3690 and I just overclocked it to 4.1 ghz with an Rtx 3060 12gb and 20 gigs of ram and its awsome!

[@sivi151]

even for back in the day, these PCs weren’t top-notch hardware, i7 is almost but the 750 was defo a lower card, and the 8gb ram limit makes it so much worse, about 35$ you could jump huge with more ram and maybe a 1050

[@josteenmtz8210]

now im glad i have a 1660 haha

[@yokingboii]

i still have a pc with an i3 540 and hd 5450 lol but its fine if you massively lower your standards also had to put an extremely lightweight windows build on it else it sucks more

[@Mazendrak]

Just be careful which light weight builds you use or ideally build your own

[@AHX888]

that must be a bad experience in gta 5 cuz of the bottlenech and stuttering

this pc is better than my old pc it's i5 661 ati radeon hd 5750 8gb ram quad channel miss matched and it's was hard to use it on windows i optimized it now i am using unibody macbook pro 2012 15inch it's alot better than my old pc but had trouble installing windows on it (you need dvd to install windows because the bios or whatever it's called on macs doesn't allow to boot of the usb if it's legacy bios but windows on these unibody macbooks doesn't work well on uefi so you need to install it legacy bios way)

[@Mazendrak]

Yeah, the pre 2013 macbooks don't support booting windows from usb (because of EFI restrictions)

[@hoka_foka]

@@Mazendrak no they do if it's efi but the drivers on efi windows are unstable i had multiple bluescreens and the audio doesn't work on the efi windows
