i7-4770* + GTX 1060 6GB | 16GB | Uniquity PCs | # 0009 - Benchmarks

Was using a 4770k myself, from 2013 until just 11 days ago, but with a 3060ti GPU. There isn't a game on Steam I couldn't play at 1440p with medium-high settings. Most games don't seem to require any modern CPU, and are significantly more reliant on the GPU... either that or the 4770k is just a god among CPU's.

The 4770k has definitely aged quite well, it still has many more years to come!

I have a slightly modest version of this same rig with the i7 4770, 1050 ti and 8 gigs of ddr3 ram which has served me really well through the years....few nights ago I ran Helldivers 2 on this rig and was surprised to see how good it looked even on the lowest settings while hitting playable framerates which goes to show that game devs CAN really optimize a game to look good AND play well even on supposedly low-end hardware if they really wanna... nowdays I feel game devs are hand-in-hand with companies like nvidia to pressure consumers into buying new-gen hardware by making them feel like they cant run newer games on their supposedly e-waste systems no more through poor optimization done purposely, which is just disgusting. I did get an RTX 3070 laptop down the lane couple of years ago by spending a bomb (which I regret) but even THAT is considered outdated tech now (looking at you, Indiana Jones and STALKER 2). Pardon my rant lol I just wanted to get this off my chest and anyways mate good vid, cheers🍷

I can agree with all you say, it’s a big reason why I enjoy using older hardware because of how they hold up today.
