Can your Retro Hardware hang in 2020?

I put her together with mostly old parts I had but didn't want to discard.

I've got my laptop from 2018 (12GB Ram, i5-8300 & 1050GTX) around here; just using it as a media centre in the living room now. :]

 

 

 

I don't have any of the older parts/PC's from yesteryear.

That's Core i9-9900K and 2080 Ti hardware next to the hardware I listed.   You should run the benchmarks above on your laptop and see what scores you get.

I've never run a 3D Mark, or benchmark that was outside a videogame benchmark - apart from Intel's XTU to underclock and stress test the undervolting to ensure stability; in all the years I've messed about with computers. I suppose at several times, I have run diagnostics to see if a stick of ram, or harddrive was functioning, but yeah...

 

 

My current laptop: 16GB Ram, i5-9300, and a 1660Ti runs everything I've thrown at it on Ultra settings at 1080P with a 120hz refresh rate. Farcry 5 was probably the lowest FPS I got which is around 65-80 FPS depending on the situation in-game.

 

Death Stranding for example runs around 104-115 FPS.
