The beast of burden. (Aka Nehalem Beast)

So....here's my rig, who says old hardware can't handle new games?
The CPU which is 7 years old is as fast in Cinebench as a i5-4460, the GPU is 4 years old (The GHZ version which I have is 2 years old doe)
And it was...500 euros...made out of 2nd hand parts....and it's not very dependable...and it likes to break down...and to make noise that resembles a vaccum cleaner...and the video card bends more than a Iphone 6...And it lights up like a christmas tree at night..but that's my fault.
Okay, It has it's flaws, but it runs GTA 5 on very high and BeamNG on max soooo....Good enough.

That's some intense video card sag. When I build a box I always run the power cables so they're supporting the gpu to prevent sag after a few years of heating and cooling etc.

 

Cool. My laptop has an i7 920XM. I can crank that baby up to 4GHz. (Throttles back to ~2.6GHz eventually while benchmarking though.)

 

If it really does perform like an i5 4460, then it should get about 60FPS with the cement mixer thing. (I have that CPU btw, so it should be accurate.)
You might actually get more FPS though, since you have 3 times as much VRAM as me.
