we change back to the original channel name for a reason time to test out something that makes absolutely no sense in the real world but we're just curious so we're going to do it anyway in this video I threw in a GTX 1080 TI one of the most powerful graphics cards you can currently buy into a computer that's sporting a six dollar CPU and that price is a little iffy sometimes you can find them for like four bucks on eBay sometimes as much as ten because people are greedy but if the most part its sub 10 US dollars that should say enough about the CPU right there so without further ado let's let's give it a go so this is the PC here's the CPU heatsink this very weird chassis kind of keeping things stable this is a g2 10 I reviewed this in a few videos check this one out right here if you want more details on that I've also showcase this PC itself before we've kind of done some benchmarks on it in the past but what I want to do now as I discussed earlier is replace the g2 10 with the beautiful accelerated GTX 10 atti now if you recall in a video I know if we keep pointing the cards but if you check out this video here I talked about how this is a true two slot car it uses the reference TI PCB and it's super thin super narrow so we shouldn't have a problem fitting it into the tight spaces that you see in here I just pop this one out there we go get on in there this is like the weirdest thing on YouTube right now oh yeah she's in there okay another problem I didn't think about we do not have an 810 and 610 VGA cable rather than this power supply so we're gonna have to power it using alternative methods alright so I've got this 450 watt Integra power supplied from fractal design and I'm going to jumpstart with a 12 12 10 jumper here I recommend all enthusiast PC builders have at least one of these around good for troubleshooting in the works and then of course to 810 VGA cables again this is only going to be powering a graphics card so I'm not worried about reaching the 450 watt limit we should be okay there so this will be powering the graphics card as long as this jumped and plugged in it should be feeding power at will and then when we turn PC on everything else should be powered now the only other thing we need to address here this is a super old hard drive with Windows XP on it can't run the latest Nvidia drivers on XP the software isn't compatible so we're going to have to use this right here which is just uh where's this Toshiba SSD this has Windows 10 on it so I'm going to plug this in instead just hot-swap them everything should be good to go once we do that these ribbon cables though I am so glad these are extinct okay SATA out state of power out and then this is an SSD we really don't need to mount it anywhere there there we go just stuff wrong inside that seems legit huh it works now I need to plug in the keyboard but apart from that we should be good to go alright so this is interesting I'm trying to boot into the SSD you can see it right there Toshiba TR 150 240 gigabyte it's detecting it but it's not booting into it and I'm wondering if it has something to do with how old the other hardware is on board so I'm going to see if I can select this drive as the boot drive my god this is a super old BIOS well I could not get Windows 10 to load natively on the SSD so it looks like we're going to be installing it from scratch but that's not a problem as long as we can actually test out some games here shouldn't be too big of an issue is it weird that a pentium d is sporting a 165 Hertz refresh rate right now just a little weird okay so check this out all I'm doing at this point is updating steam it looks like the computer locked up something locked up and you can see cores 1 & 2 that's it no hyper threading on this Pentium D 830 and CPU usage is pretty much above 50% all the time actually what something did freeze the whole computer froze I can still with the mouse who would is oh there we go what is going on so yeah you see pegged at 100% that is uh actually not surprising here goes almost finished any guesses any guesses on the score here Wow point seven three points mind you and i7 is doing about five so are you seeing this over 200 FPS now we're just in the loading screen mind you of left 4 dead 2 but that's really freaking high okay one thing for sure it takes forever to load anything two hours later okay so this whole thing did not go according to plan I kind of expected that if you notice right off the bat I was running windows 32-bit this is Windows 10 32-bit which is kind of an ironic setting in itself because Windows 10 is really new and 32-bit operating systems are kind of out the window by this point but they do actually offer Windows 10 32 I installed it and found it that I could not test a majority of the games that I wanted to test that makes sense though so like grabs the Tomb Raider GTA 5 a few other games would not run on a 32-bit OS which meant that I can only test either really old games or games that are just not very demanding in general so games like Minecraft and then I actually was able to get left 4 dead 2 to run I'm sorry that I couldn't get GTA 5 and other mainstream games to work although expect something like this if we had been able to get GTA 5 to run I do expect that the game would have had several artifacts issues that would have made it virtually unplayable if you take nothing else away from this video check out our cinnamon scores our 1588 C be compared to a typical i7 will score around a thousand C be you're getting 10% of what you could get from a processing standpoint that is abysmal and 11.5 yeah that's also very abysmal and another benchmark that should clear things up even more for you Geekbench 3 32-bit you know don't even look at the scores they don't even matter you're looking at an i5 7600 K and the pentium d 830 just look at how big those bars are for the i-5 how tiny they are for the pentium d that is so embarrassing so of the two games I actually was able to test with this set up minecraft was a bit of a letdown and left 4 dead 2 was just straight-up unplayable I would say unplayable I wasn't able to hold 60fps with left 4 dead 2 I expected this to be actually a pretty good situation even though the CPU is clearly a severe bottleneck in this case I expected the GPU to just kind of do its thing and not worry about the fact that there weren't many things on the CPU side taking place this game however does appear to leverage a bit of both and the CPU is definitely crippling our frame rate here nothing anywhere near 60 FPS for a majority of the experience as you can see in the top left there with fraps running that's your fraps counter up there minecraft was a bit of the same it ran a bit better actually was kind of surprised about this minecraft is a very weird game when it comes to benchmarks it's a very weird game when it just comes to gameplay in general and your experience you can change texture packs and do a bunch of things that can really either leverage your graphics card or leverage your CPU in this case just vanilla minecraft the latest updates around 30 40 fps not too bad you could play it but I can play just as fine on my ultra book and that does not have a dedicated graphics processor at all now I'm sure this wasn't a learning experience for most of you I expected most of you who are watching this channel already know that pairing a $700 graphics card with a six dollar CPU is downright stupid you didn't know that you don't mean to offend you it just it is stupid just even if you don't know anything about CPUs or GPUs or prices whatever it just doesn't make any sense but if there is something you can take away from this video it is this Czech CPU usage especially when you're playing games when you're doing things that involve both CPU and GPU horsepower make sure those usages aren't anywhere near a hundred percent if they are that's telling you that your CPU is at full load or pretty darn close to it and you should either upgrade your CPU raise your frequency or I don't know do something else on your PC with that if you thought this video was cool if it's satisfied gore morbid curiosity give this one a thumbs up thumbs down for the office to click subscribe button if you haven't already and I'll catch you in the next video this is science studio thanks for learning with us
