Thanks sverek^ I'm gonna get this game no matter what!.....I bet it runs good on my old stuff!...(40/70)...@1080.... yee-haw.... [youtube=MdbSc0c3Dx8]

It would be sweet if the boss had some old 2600k's and 4790k's and overclock the heck out of them and see how they really game on modern games....(time-consuming as heck)....would be sweet though...love you Hilbert!...:D I love my 2600k(stock).....she's a dam good match with my 480/4G.....Game time...:D

My best friends has my i7 3820, exactly the same as a 2600k but more pcie lanes. It does 4.5ghz, I could test my R9 Fury in his rig against my my rig. He only has 2x GTX 650ti boost 2GBs cause of the BS with the GPU market right now. Still does quite good in alot of games @ 1080p. Mostly medium settings with reshade.

Wonder how my "dinosaur" Xeon 2683v3 (14c 28t @ 3ghz) holds up. Had it for for a couple years in my workstation and people keep saying that games love speed, but honestly I can't tell the difference (*without benching*) between my slow 14 cores vs my old 5820K at 4,5Ghz. Actually I think in games that are multicore aware (R6 Siege for example) I *feel* like it hase better/more stable FPS then the 5820k. Rest of the hardware all being equal (mobo, mem, gpu, ssd's etc). Yes there are OLDer games that I know it IS way slower, Path of exile for example when the entire screen get's full of stuff, the 5820 was always able to keep my 100fps vsync stable, whereas the 2683 massively caves in sometimes. However, as time goes by and games get more and more multicore aware, I think the 2683 will be the eventual winner :P I have to add - I play at 3440x1440, so I guess that's also a factor considering the GPU generally becomes more important then the CPU at those resolutions 😀

My 2600k still holds up well in many games, but it's overclocked quite abit. Even the auto overclock on the board get's it to about 4.5ghz. I do think modern open world games are where it will fall behind newer CPU's though. My lack of system memory will also causes issues I imagine, as will vram if I want to downsample from 4k, even if SLI scaling is spot on.
