Comment from : @serdarcam99

Still run my 2013 rig with i7 4770k, 32GB DDR3 ram and GTX 1080 Ti (used to be two GTX 780 Ti's in SLI)

Fps high quality 4k upscale Scam lies I remember when ppi hz specs native an a socket sending hq surround sound 4layer mb studio sound n gfx mattered now we can't even do minimum we did 10 year ago we low snd than cd n less colours leggy on bad scrap to sell lies n shares profit as factories stopped n make nothing but sold binned rejects to taiwan
Comment from : @ScoopDogg

To be fair if you bought that PC in 2014 and upgraded the GPU to a GTX1080ti down the line, that platform would have been decent value over time
Comment from : @benjihutch24

13:14brbrDoom: Hmm, it seems you're a multi-GPU setup, I don't really like multi-GPU setups all that much, Whis! Get the multi-GPU setup killer!
Comment from : @CrocoDylianVT

I worked at Microcenter at this time I got my 5930k From intels Retail Edge program Ran Dual 970s but that was my first "clean build" i still miss SLi Two cards just looked cooler
Comment from : @iDaRkkO

In 2014 I built my first ground-up PC, with an FX-8350 and an R9 290 It was far from "ultimate," but is was fine for my needs at the time I outgrew it, though, and in 2016 I replaced it with a 6850K and 980T twins A rather massive upgrade I still have both, and they still work
Comment from : @rangersmith4652

that gta joke got me XD
Comment from : @ShadowTheLight

I own a PC with a mismatch of parts from the later 2010's, Its on an MSI B-something with a Radeon RX480 8GB OC to 1400MHz, Ryzen 7 2700x, 32 GB of RAM It still hangs in new titles without bumping below normal settings ive never been able to touch those framerates in GTA5 for some reason though
Comment from : @nickott01

I did own a computer like that lol But it was a 6 core cpu
Comment from : @SlyNine

Future proofing is bullshit
Comment from : @katje61

I used my 4790K for 8 years, it was an absolute beast, I got it overclocked to 48 ghz all core, I managed 49 but getting that stable and not show me blue screens every minute was next to impossible
Comment from : @ninetenduh

I had an i7 2600k OC with a 970 in 2014 60gb C drice ssd I got in 2011 Chad shit

Dislikebr4 way SLI exists
Comment from : @FatheredPuma81

That cooler master case brings back memories
Comment from : @BertSimsen

are you ai interpolating the framerate on your videos?
Comment from : @Katari_Kityama

I still miss the Quad-SLI era Price per performance? Shit Power and thermals? Shit Case and board compatibility? Shit Still want? Yes
Comment from : @Windows98R

BRING BACK SLI and CROSSFIREbr4090 SLI would be so ridiculous !
Comment from : @ZERARCHIVE2023

In 2014 there was no 3200 MHz memory
Comment from : @marcosmerino7637

for a cpu like this, what is the best modern mid range gpu for it
Comment from : @khalyl7282

Still using my 5960x for my backup rig Its held up rather well for some tasks
Comment from : @pederstrmKollenborg

doesnt really make sense to me that you buy one GPU and sit on it forever Its the easiest part to swap out None of my PCs over the last 15 years kept the same GPU for too long
Comment from : @willywonka6487

my 2014 build used the 4790K with a gtx 970 shit was beautiful it serves as my home server now
Comment from : @RayRayIsCoolio

The case alone is nostalgic
Comment from : @cyberleone00

abandoned castle is a banger
Comment from : @raul1642

why not the 6950x?
Comment from : @falloutboy1234512345

Makes you realize how little power those components drew at the time even though they were top of the line
Comment from : @michalsvihla1403

still faster than the 1050 ti system I own today 😎
Comment from : @stuff_

This build reminds me of 2012 TotalBiscuit's PC and how "mad" he was in 2015 that a PC at a fraction of the cost (pretty much this but with 980Ti IIRC that Jesse or Crendor built) can keep up with his dual Titans PC I kinda miss those days It's incredible that in titles like Horizon, Steamdeck is like "nearly" there Yes, it did run at like 35-40FPS on medium settings but that is kinda my point, if you told me 10 years ago that there will be a handheld with the power of high end PC (not top of the line like in the video but clearly an i7-4770k and a GTX 980 are near comparable to steamdeck), consuming like less than most common lightbulb (at the time LEDs were not still out, we have had incandescents and most common was a 60W, the high end PC would take about 280W with great PSU) available for like 500 USD, and to top it off made by Valve I'd wonder about your mental facultiesbrbrSadly VRAM hunger will kill Steamdeck eventually too But hope that next gen of Steamdeck will have much larger RAM pool 32-48GB with 8-12GB dedicated to VRAM would be cool IMO
Comment from : @VanBourner

Back in 2014 my family had a Pentium Dual Core E2160, Intel GMA 3100, 2GB of DDR2 RAM and a 20GB HDD, which lasted 8 years from 2008 to 2016 Now my PC RAM is higher than that HDD lol
Comment from : @phamquanghuy2222

Next time you test Fallout 4, PLEASE install the "high fps physics fix" mod, it has over 23 MILLION downloads on Nexus and almost everyone who plays fallout 4 on PC uses it as it uncaps framerate but keeps the physics in check so it all runs perfect, seriously like 99 of people even if they dont like mods will at least install the high fps physics mod for that reason
Comment from : @ruinfox4108

such a well made video it was quite interesting
Comment from : @jinx8624

Got a ryzen 5 3600x, 3060 ti, 16 gb ram, and a new noctua cpu fan My AIO was shot I dont remember what my pcu isbrbrThis video makes me wonder just how long it will be until i absolutely have no other choice but to upgrade Especially since this dinosaur still playable for the most part for most games
Comment from : @AuthorHoshiChan

Old School baby <3
Comment from : @INTEL_CORE_INSIDE

Me with still using i5-4690k (OC'd to 45Ghz), Asus Z97-A Mobo, 16Gb DDR3 and GTX 1070 (upgraded when fans died with my gtx 960) and Fractal Design Define r4
Comment from : @late244

SLI was already dead in 2014 it NEVER worked correct on ANY Game i tried
Comment from : @hanswurst3811

In 2014, there was underappreciated technology called Nvidia 3D Vision (used to this day) that is demanding as it needs 120fps for a steady 60fps per eye
Comment from : @Sir_Saul

I wish Stable Diffusion utilized SLI
Comment from : @Vile-Flesh

Somehow when i think of a powerful beast PC this comes to mind
Comment from : @arianrashidzz

I love videos like this Good job, dude 👍🏻
Comment from : @Pawcio2115

I still run 8 cores, 16 threads and only got 16gb of DDR4 RAM lol

I Had 8800 ultra sli back in the day to play Crisis :') around 2006 , the guy from my local pc shop thought I was insane or something :')
Comment from : @evofreak1304

Im still behind this pc
Comment from : @NawyLoeb

The fact that I have better PC but nothing close to the history and nostalgia of this PC A PC that could shock any PC enthusiast to their knees a true marvel of course as expected from Ice
Comment from : @IStillSmileYT

Could you do a 2016 one brI know your kinda saving it for when 2026 happens but I’m intrigued as at that time I was going to build a high end pc but ended up not doing so
Comment from : @MrFaleh1129

"overpriced, key" The secret to saving money is, crime
Comment from : @erdemeebilgee3584

From 2014? Goodness this is genuinely amazing seeing how well it kept up! If I had this beast I would have still been happy! Absolutely no complaint
Comment from : @MUSiCK9

Sli is too unstable in results, makes sense why it died out as gpus became more powerful

I'm running a fx 8350 and a 980 ti extreme waterforce from gigabyte, all mounted in a crosshair v formula z brbrBest gaming pc era
Comment from : @jorgealbertomantillagongor2033

just built my first "real" pc , with a 7600x and a 7900gre I can play any game (cyberpunk , starfield etc) at extreme framerates utilizing my high refreshrate monitor , so i couldnt be happier I would go for a 4070 super for 50$ more but i wasnt going to use much raytracing or upscaling , so better performance was worth it for less money spent
Comment from : @allex975gaming

This machine would still hold up quite good for 1080p with a 1080ti or 2080ti (just not to overkill the gpu) My laptop what i bought in late 2014 (and what i still have) has a 980m with an i7, but only ddr3 memory, and its still "decent", and absolutely usable The only things i upgraded was the hard drive to one sata ssd, filled the m2 slot with a 512gb module, and doubled the ram to 16gigs For casual games it still does perform pretty good, but compared to anything just 4-5 years newer, especially desktop stuff, its absolutely powerless 😂

good salvage report mb
Comment from : @mikebruzzone9570

I had an SLI of Gtx 970’s and had exactly the same issues as you mentioned in the video
Comment from : @UranusfromBrussels

NVIDIA always had this VRAM issuebrFallout 4, released just one year after the 980, would stutter and drop below 30 fps in some areas with 4gb cards if you downloaded the official HD texture pack
Comment from : @Augusto9588

this is the exact case i use even today!!
Comment from : @MkwRa

I came here to see modern games, idk why you only tested three of them However it still seems to be pretty capable of 720p 30fps in new games, so that's very impressive to me for a 10 year old system
Comment from : @RotcodFox

And trust me, the got some top-notch gear you're gonna want!
Comment from : @LapNgo-h9u

huh? retro games are things like the snes and sega genesis, the wii and ds are still pretty new
Comment from : @feminaproletarius7815

Gotta say, you've been cranking out some really high quality content, particularly over the past six months or so Keep it up!
Comment from : @DraftySatyr

my old build was an x99 build Asus rampage V edition 10 32gb of ram paired to a i7-5960x and 1080ti
Comment from : @TrollDenied

Still dream for me, still have fx 8320 x r9 380 nitro
Comment from : @Kakihara2206

I bought what was a high end system early 2014 (4790K and GTX 780) and it wasn't long before the 780 fell of a cliff in performance Kepler driver support was officially dead in 2021, but already in around 2017-2018 it lost a lot of performane compared to 980/970 It seems Maxwell is one of the best generation ever released (even tho people praise Pascal more)
Comment from : @cluthz

My Dad's PC still has a 4790k and a GTX 970 It runs good for the most part but I'm looking to upgrade it at some point He doesn't want to reinstall Windows though so that's a challenge
Comment from : @m8x425

Fallout 4's frame rate cap is tied to the refresh rate of your monitor; so 144fps is possible on a 144hz monitor without breaking the physicsbrbrBut you can disable v-sync on the ini file, which brings those physics problems back
Comment from : @Moissanyte

I'm hobby builder and I routinely use 10 year old parts in used PC flip builds mid to high end 10 year old parts still chew through games of today, you need to go Xeon for the cpu core count but there's a heap of life left i this gear Moore's Law is dead
Comment from : @alexlynch4473

GRID Autosport is very cpu boundbrMy previous Ryzen 5600X was faster about 50 in it, than my last Intel cpu, that was an i7 8700

In this era I had a i5-4440 and a GTX760… Ah, man… what a gaming monster that was…

I'm watching this on my i7 4790k & gtx 1080ti machine :) (this board supports a 2nd gpu LOL)
Comment from : @Wierie_

I had a 4790K and SLI 980s back in 2014 SLI ended up being a bit of a crapshoot and got replaced with a 1080 Ti before the system got retired
Comment from : @Trash_Lord

so what your saying is just build a mid tier pc every 5 years unless your rich like iceberg got it

Comment from : @Homme_Pur

pretty sure there are mods that fix over 60 fps in fallout 4 now
Comment from : @Tracenji

Great results!! I think it holds up fairly wellbrbrDespite how beastly it is right now, for some reason I doubt the 4090 will hold up as well to games in 2034 We'll see
Comment from : @MrHav1k

THIS is why I never bother with low end or Mid Range Gpu's they age much quicker than high end models
Comment from : @mistermystery819

Wasn't there a dual 290x? brbrI remember Linus reviewing one, nevermind they called it the 295x2 all I remember playing back in 2014 was Battlefield 4
