I know it’s got an i5-4570 in it and that lines right up with my old GTX 970 I’ve held onto release date wise. Stick some DDR3, a new cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212 for authenticity), and new thermal paste in there and you’re pogging out in Splinter Cell: Blacklist or Assassin’s Creed IV or whatever else we were playing in 2013
… My previous rig was a 4460 with a gtx 960, I used it till last year without issue lol. Now it’s my htpc.
what OS do you run on that thing?
Trying out Nobaru, but jellyfin playback is periodically stuttering so far. I did swap out the card to a RX5700 or 5600 that I picked up used. Nvidia didn’t want to play well with low refresh rate on the TV. I might be moving it back to Fedora or mint if I can’t work the kinks out. It pulls double duty of being a steam box too.
Actual ability of the rig is perfectly adequate, I don’t really go for AAA games now days. I have another system running an i5 4460 without GPU that runs my UnRAID server.
