Instead of being sad He died be glad that he lived the last days of his life with his daughter. He was free of that manipulative bastard and spent his last weeks with his daughter. I'm actually glad the last weeks of his 95 year old life were spent well.
I noticed the same problem in recording overwatch as you did in rainbow six. The choppy footage was worst with uncapped frames. Once I capped to my monitor refresh rate the capture was VASTLY smoother. I believe capping out the cpu and then asking it to do more is the problem.
:'( my first build was a G3258 and 750 Ti. I ended up upgrading this summer because the micro-stuttering was too much but it was great while it lasted!
at least the 750 ti kept going, that's just so suprising for what was clearly a budget part in a time period where the high end wasn't the best at 1440p.
The G3258 and h81m-p33 was my first build, along with an r7 260x GPU, it did pretty well back then, i enjoyed seeing it brought up again in this video and how it holds up today
Installed my Pentium G3258 in my HTPC in February 2015. It has been powered on 24/7 since then with no issues. Stock cooler, stock clock. I mostly watch RUclips and Twitch, with a bit of light gaming thrown in. Graphics is a Sapphire Radeon HD 7750 Silent running a 52 inch TV and a 24 inch monitor (both are 1920x1080). Some 1080p/60 videos cause some weird stuttering, I can't tell if it's the video card or the CPU, and this has started only recently.
I built my pc just before this was launched and most of the tech press where saying this was light years ahead of the used 8350 am3 set up I ended up with. Remember thinking to myself what if I had just waited n saved a bit more but seeing this I'm glad I went down path I did. 8350 definitely holds up a bit better. I'm still happy with how it dose today.
in your old videos the idea was something like: "it have no sense to pair a big graphics card with a low end processor to see the bottleneck" and now you made things like this, it's interesting but it's the same of all the others youtubers, i love your videos so it's only my opinion, i find more usefull to see which gpu can still handle this cpu without a noticeble bottleneck, have a nice day.
i'm assuming he changed it cause people were complaining about bottlenecks. there's a reason why so many youtubers do it. to truly test a gpu, you want to max out the gpu. Ideally, he would use parts that allow cpu to max out....BUT also aren't overkill. Not sure he has enough things to choose from. Like ideally he'd probably use a 1050ti or a 1060 here. But he used a 1070 cause that's his main bottleneck removing gpu.
I'm still using this processor. Been OC to 4.3GHz on the stock cooler since day one... from sometime in 2014. Has 16GB of ram @3200MHz and a RX560 GPU. Still does what I need it to do...
You should have tried battle encoder shirase to limit cpu usage or something like dxtory to limit fps to remove stuttering on games or recording. Might've helped a bit on certain situations.
Ran mine at 4.7GHz and delidded it just because I can. Mirror's Edge Catalyst was the reason I had to upgrade from it, since 2 threads wasn't just enough for it. When I got G4560 and had the same GTX 780 Ti, the game ran at smooth 60fps without problems.
Damn I thought you could only overclock it on a Z87/Z97 board. I got one of those Pentiums in my humble collection and the V2 version of that H81 board in an old PC for testing. Should play around with OCing it sometime :D
I got the G3220 at the very start of 2014 for $70 AUD.. was a good bargain back then and intel later knew that they had underpriced it. Originally used it for low wattage use then for my desktop.
I had great success using a G3258 for a bunch of 1080p60 Quake and Half-Life 2 videos; fantastic budget deal when I got it in early 2015, and I got more life out of it at stock speeds than I'd ever have expected. The low video encoding performance did wear on me, though, and earlier this year I found a good deal on a 4 core 8 thread Xeon that let me upgrade without needing the investment of a whole new motherboard, CPU and RAM at once. It's quite nice, but I must admit I still have my Pentium sitting around. I told myself I'd sell it to offset the cost of my current processor, but I just can't bring myself to part with the old girl. A few extra spare parts could turn it into a PC for a family member, though, so I have a comforting excuse. I'll shed a tear when I finally have to get rid of her, that's for sure.
Wondering why lower settings? You could likely increase settings in some of these games and likely not see a drop in performance. In fact, some games may see an increase in performance since some workload could be offloaded to the 1070.
I kept my G3258 bought a whole new pc with an R7 1800X and a 980ti. Decided to keep the G3258 going by using it to host a minecraft server (since minecraft likes the single core performance).
@@gloopington it's running but no one plays on it, I play with some friends on weekends sometimes. The ip is unplayedgames.net ironic name, I know. Feel free to do whatever, there's some special commands but nothing that special.
I think you should take a look at the G4560, one of the best 2C/4T CPUs. it would be interesting to see if it still does well these days, because games have become a lot more CPU intensive over the past 3 years.
Nice video as always, still have that same pentium in my sister's budget build at 4.2Ghz of course. What comes to battlefield 1 i have to say something that i have experienced with it myself over the past few months. Running an i7-4770 16Gigs of ddr3 1600Mhz and a Gtx 1070 in my system. The game has at some point in time just became annoying to play for me as it somehow has started being much rougher on my cpu, the game used to stick at fairly nice framerates and have about 90% cpu closer to 100% gpu usage but now when i try to play it, the game just absolutely destroys my cpu and only uses about half of my gpu, making things somewhat stuttery here and there and the framerate is all over the place, Even going as low as 40fps at times, not sure why this has started happening out of nowhere with the game. And yes, i have done multiple graphics driver reinstalls, even tried few different driver versions. The issue persists.
@FireBlaze20 No, have always had it on ultra, have had to actually decrease my resolution scale because of this issue. Same goes to dx mode, always used dx11
If while playing GTA Vice City you notice that if you let off the accelerator the car suddenly feels as if you were braking instead of smoothly coming to a stop, it's a bug caused by the high unlocked framerate, cap it to 60 with the NVIDIA Control Panel and boom, issue solved. (pretty random I know, but I'm casually re-playing all GTA titles)
Still using G3258 @ 4.8GHz paired with cheap MSI Z97 PC Mate in my HTPC with Pentium's integrated Intel HD graphics hooked up to 40" TV and 23" Samsung monitor. Runs like a mad, Win8.1 Pro 64bit loads completely within 5, 6 seconds and that's without SSD (s*it load of HDD's on that HTPC, it's my main backup/storage rig). Couldn't ask for more from this exceptionaly OC friendly CPU.
You really should try Mint Mate 19, along with Compton compositor, and the latest kernels via Ukuu, and I've had great results so far, I was on Xubuntu, but the latest update borked my system, but Mint so far so good.
With Battlefield 1 not working so well on this processor and it did before, a recent Tech Yes City video tried to replicate a claim that Nvidia were slowing down their older cards with newer drivers. Bryan on the channel found it wasn't Nvidia, but some of the Windows meltdown or spectre patches which were reducing FPS on a tested Nvidia setup. Maybe that is why the processor could have run Battlefield okay before but not now as you thought it had. You said Windows was a fresh setup (gets the latest patches?) so maybe that is what is slowing it down.
I have a similar one, and can handle some games well. Shadow of Mordor for example is playable, especially well in 1080+ resolutions. As I cant jump to ddr4 yet, I still hang on to haswell, and maybe will buy a used haswell i5 to have more cpu room
I remember everyone gushing about this chip when it came out. I'm not sure that it was ever an advisable chip to pair with anything more than a 750ti (at the time).
@@SparkysAdventure Don't get a fury they only have 4gb of vram which is just barely enough for many games and soon will be unable to keep up with triple a titles. Go for RX580 8GB/RX590 8GB or at LEAST a gtx 1060 6gb.
@@zachmdful Like how is 4gb barely enough? Did u even see the video random gaming made where he tested a old hd 7770 1gb model and it was able to make just about every game playable at a console level of performance. But hell still playable.

I think you're sort of missing the mark on this little bugger somewhat. What they're really remembered for is that they overclock to the moon and smash all i3s and some i5s from the time they game out. I'd suggest a video where you overclock it. I've heard tale that they've overclocked as far as 4 or even 5 Ghz on a stock cooler. I don't quite believe the second one, but I think you'd have much better results overall.
I have one of these with a 1060 3gb and 8g of RAM, I just play project cars and dirt 4 and it runs great in 1080, I've not bench marked it, but it runs nice and smooth
Please check and make sure that both cores are running there was a bug in Windows 10 that would not allow the G3258 to run overclocked with both cores. I kept mine on Windows 7 till I bought a i3 4130t and installed it. Then I upgraded to windows 10 and now my son games on it.
I have an H81-A/BR and managed some good OC on the pentium, still rocking it to this day, I'm waiting for the whole corona stuff go away so I can buy a Ryzen now.
I just have my dad's old (He passed away 2 weeks ago) pc on the floor. GTX750Ti, gigabyte z97 gaming 3, pentium G3528, 120GB SSD + 500GB hdd. Going to sell it here in Finland.
Mine is running as a secondary system on a Msi H81-p33, which shouldn't be able to overclock, but it's running fine @4.2 from day one. I also use the stock cooler, which has a copper slug by the way.
I retired mine this year. It was running 5.0GHz with a $30 motherboard and a $13 tower cooler- keeping up in most games and dominating emulators. All this battleroyale and early access shit is what really killed it, or in other words dealing with a lot of networking and embarrassingly inefficient games. It may be the last real Pentium, but at least AMD keeps the spirit alive. Got a Ryzen 1700 for well under $200, a $40 motherboard, and the same $13 cooler. You can bet I'll hit 4.0GHz before I'm done dicking with it.
tmmr I'm picking up a pc with a Ryzen 5 1600, 8gb ram, RX 580 4gb for $300, 100gb HDD 7200rpm. Has a very nice case. And 2 sets of gaming keyboards and mice. Sadly the psu is only 450 watt. But after I sell off what I don't need, pretty nice.
Hey do a video on if a tri core phenom is still capable for modern gaming cause i know therez a few of those out there and those old phenoms can still swing a decent punch
I still have one I bought back when they first came out. Until I can scrounge up the money for my next system it's my daily driver and I'm only using onboard graphics with it. I tend to like retro games more than modern titles so I haven't tried many of them but right now I'm playing VTMB at 1024x768 and have OBS recording in the background if that says anything about the performance I'm getting.
Have a G3258 @ 4.7 Ghz paired with a GTX 1060 3GB (yeah, overkill) and the only thing it plays is WoW Battle for Azeroth and LotRO. It does just fine with those two MMOs. More than fine actually.
i had this cpu until two weeks ago just to get up and running paired with a gtx 770 and 8gb ddr3 and it coped with games perfectly, the only one it couldn't handle was GTA 5, but if you tweaked the cpu demanding video settings you could get it to run high/medium at 1080 60 locked., i had a decent version as i was running a 4.6ghz overclock on a h100i cooler. i've since upgraded to a 4770k. yeah cool story.
@@mihailm1495 I have the Sapphire GHZ edition (the one with only 1 DVI port), 4-8GB of whatever RAM is spare and a 120GB Kingston SSD single drive solution streaming from my home server Phenom II 1090T with 5x WD Cav green 2TB drives and another 120GB Kingston SSD. I stream more demanding games from it too as it has 2x Radeom 260x in crossfire. I hope TandomGaminInHD and Phil's Computer Lab to a collab someday.
I still have my G3258 in use on my Hyperspin machine....overclocked to 4.8 (liquid cooled) and matched to a GTX960 it is a bit overkill for that use case....but that machine doesn't need anything more.
I played MGS5 with a G3258 overclocked at 4.0 with a GTX1050 and it ran pretty smoothly on medium settings. It also ran Fallout 4 okay for the most part despite some crashes here and there. It definitely seems like it's a processor that's gonna fall out of style here pretty soon, but I've had good experiences with it in my budget build, and I'd love to see what other AAA games that have come out in the past couple of years that it could run!

He was free of that manipulative bastard and spent his last weeks with his daughter. I'm actually glad the last weeks of his 95 year old life were spent well.
I noticed the same problem in recording overwatch as you did in rainbow six. The choppy footage was worst with uncapped frames. Once I capped to my monitor refresh rate the capture was VASTLY smoother. I believe capping out the cpu and then asking it to do more is the problem.
:'( my first build was a G3258 and 750 Ti. I ended up upgrading this summer because the micro-stuttering was too much but it was great while it lasted!
at least the 750 ti kept going, that's just so suprising for what was clearly a budget part in a time period where the high end wasn't the best at 1440p.
The G3258 and h81m-p33 was my first build, along with an r7 260x GPU, it did pretty well back then, i enjoyed seeing it brought up again in this video and how it holds up today
Installed my Pentium G3258 in my HTPC in February 2015. It has been powered on 24/7 since then with no issues. Stock cooler, stock clock. I mostly watch RUclips and Twitch, with a bit of light gaming thrown in. Graphics is a Sapphire Radeon HD 7750 Silent running a 52 inch TV and a 24 inch monitor (both are 1920x1080).
Some 1080p/60 videos cause some weird stuttering, I can't tell if it's the video card or the CPU, and this has started only recently.
I built my pc just before this was launched and most of the tech press where saying this was light years ahead of the used 8350 am3 set up I ended up with. Remember thinking to myself what if I had just waited n saved a bit more but seeing this I'm glad I went down path I did. 8350 definitely holds up a bit better. I'm still happy with how it dose today.
G3258+750ti build needs to happen
I've got one in a system at my dad's. I upgraded to a 7700K recently from an i5-6500. Gonna stick that in their system and use the G4560 in an HTPC.
in your old videos the idea was something like: "it have no sense to pair a big graphics card with a low end processor to see the bottleneck" and now you made things like this, it's interesting but it's the same of all the others youtubers, i love your videos so it's only my opinion, i find more usefull to see which gpu can still handle this cpu without a noticeble bottleneck, have a nice day.
i'm assuming he changed it cause people were complaining about bottlenecks.
there's a reason why so many youtubers do it. to truly test a gpu, you want to max out the gpu.
Ideally, he would use parts that allow cpu to max out....BUT also aren't overkill. Not sure he has enough things to choose from.
Like ideally he'd probably use a 1050ti or a 1060 here. But he used a 1070 cause that's his main bottleneck removing gpu.
I'm still using this processor. Been OC to 4.3GHz on the stock cooler since day one... from sometime in 2014. Has 16GB of ram @3200MHz and a RX560 GPU. Still does what I need it to do...
how did you get your ram that high ? mine only works at 1400 mhz
You should have tried battle encoder shirase to limit cpu usage or something like dxtory to limit fps to remove stuttering on games or recording. Might've helped a bit on certain situations.
Ran mine at 4.7GHz and delidded it just because I can. Mirror's Edge Catalyst was the reason I had to upgrade from it, since 2 threads wasn't just enough for it. When I got G4560 and had the same GTX 780 Ti, the game ran at smooth 60fps without problems.
Linus has a really good video on clock speeds not being the be all to end all.
I still have one with the same mobo you have. Thinking about upgrading to a r5 2600 or 3600 when the new chips launch next year.
This was the first cpu I ever bought, now on a 4690k with the same board and ram. Good memories though :)
Damn I thought you could only overclock it on a Z87/Z97 board. I got one of those Pentiums in my humble collection and the V2 version of that H81 board in an old PC for testing. Should play around with OCing it sometime :D
The CPU I will never give up on is the Athlon X4 880K.
I got the G3220 at the very start of 2014 for $70 AUD.. was a good bargain back then and intel later knew that they had underpriced it. Originally used it for low wattage use then for my desktop.
I had great success using a G3258 for a bunch of 1080p60 Quake and Half-Life 2 videos; fantastic budget deal when I got it in early 2015, and I got more life out of it at stock speeds than I'd ever have expected. The low video encoding performance did wear on me, though, and earlier this year I found a good deal on a 4 core 8 thread Xeon that let me upgrade without needing the investment of a whole new motherboard, CPU and RAM at once. It's quite nice, but I must admit I still have my Pentium sitting around. I told myself I'd sell it to offset the cost of my current processor, but I just can't bring myself to part with the old girl. A few extra spare parts could turn it into a PC for a family member, though, so I have a comforting excuse. I'll shed a tear when I finally have to get rid of her, that's for sure.

I have one over clocked to 4.2 I think. It’s in my bedroom HTPC and works just fine for streaming and emulation
Legends do indeed die, but sometimes the word or spirit lives on.
Put one in my first build! Overclocked to 4.6 and still had more.
Legends never die, they respawn.
Thanks! How about testing the Athlon X4 860k with today's games?
You should have tested it with the 750ti
i agree, for "retrospective" angles. perhaps he can remake his OC settings and use his 750 Ti back then and see how it performs today.
My rig is a g3358 and a 750 Ti
Wondering why lower settings? You could likely increase settings in some of these games and likely not see a drop in performance. In fact, some games may see an increase in performance since some workload could be offloaded to the 1070.
I kept my G3258 bought a whole new pc with an R7 1800X and a 980ti. Decided to keep the G3258 going by using it to host a minecraft server (since minecraft likes the single core performance).
@@gloopington it's running but no one plays on it, I play with some friends on weekends sometimes. The ip is unplayedgames.net ironic name, I know. Feel free to do whatever, there's some special commands but nothing that special.
@@gloopington I think it's just 1.13, I wanted bukkit but it wasn't available at the time. It's a beta version but haven't had problems with it.
I think you should take a look at the G4560, one of the best 2C/4T CPUs.
it would be interesting to see if it still does well these days, because games have become a lot more CPU intensive over the past 3 years.
Nice video as always, still have that same pentium in my sister's budget build at 4.2Ghz of course. What comes to battlefield 1 i have to say something that i have experienced with it myself over the past few months. Running an i7-4770 16Gigs of ddr3 1600Mhz and a Gtx 1070 in my system. The game has at some point in time just became annoying to play for me as it somehow has started being much rougher on my cpu, the game used to stick at fairly nice framerates and have about 90% cpu closer to 100% gpu usage but now when i try to play it, the game just absolutely destroys my cpu and only uses about half of my gpu, making things somewhat stuttery here and there and the framerate is all over the place, Even going as low as 40fps at times, not sure why this has started happening out of nowhere with the game. And yes, i have done multiple graphics driver reinstalls, even tried few different driver versions. The issue persists.
@FireBlaze20 No, have always had it on ultra, have had to actually decrease my resolution scale because of this issue. Same goes to dx mode, always used dx11
If while playing GTA Vice City you notice that if you let off the accelerator the car suddenly feels as if you were braking instead of smoothly coming to a stop, it's a bug caused by the high unlocked framerate, cap it to 60 with the NVIDIA Control Panel and boom, issue solved.
(pretty random I know, but I'm casually re-playing all GTA titles)
Still using G3258 @ 4.8GHz paired with cheap MSI Z97 PC Mate in my HTPC with Pentium's integrated Intel HD graphics hooked up to 40" TV and 23" Samsung monitor. Runs like a mad, Win8.1 Pro 64bit loads completely within 5, 6 seconds and that's without SSD (s*it load of HDD's on that HTPC, it's my main backup/storage rig). Couldn't ask for more from this exceptionaly OC friendly CPU.
You really should try Mint Mate 19, along with Compton compositor, and the latest kernels via Ukuu, and I've had great results so far, I was on Xubuntu, but the latest update borked my system, but Mint so far so good.
With Battlefield 1 not working so well on this processor and it did before, a recent Tech Yes City video tried to replicate a claim that Nvidia were slowing down their older cards with newer drivers. Bryan on the channel found it wasn't Nvidia, but some of the Windows meltdown or spectre patches which were reducing FPS on a tested Nvidia setup. Maybe that is why the processor could have run Battlefield okay before but not now as you thought it had. You said Windows was a fresh setup (gets the latest patches?) so maybe that is what is slowing it down.
This could is a legend, I got mine to 4.6hz @1.3v. Never died.
My daughters G4620 is rocking solid for her games
I think it would be best to get an external capture card or pci capture card, to show a better representation of these older pieces of hardware.
I have a similar one, and can handle some games well. Shadow of Mordor for example is playable, especially well in 1080+ resolutions. As I cant jump to ddr4 yet, I still hang on to haswell, and maybe will buy a used haswell i5 to have more cpu room
I remember everyone gushing about this chip when it came out. I'm not sure that it was ever an advisable chip to pair with anything more than a 750ti (at the time).
This chip is insane. I run mine at 4.4GHz with stock cooler, temps at max. 84°C at full load. Only 50 when in gaming
I'm still running a Celeron G3900, with 4gb of ddr4, and a 7790.
😒👍 nice classic 7790, but u shud upgrade the cpu to a 4 threader
@@MrSamadolfo I'm moving soon to an i3-6320 and an R9 Fury
@@SparkysAdventure Don't get a fury they only have 4gb of vram which is just barely enough for many games and soon will be unable to keep up with triple a titles. Go for RX580 8GB/RX590 8GB or at LEAST a gtx 1060 6gb.
@@zachmdful Well it's for $120, and I won't be using even 4gb anytime soon.
@@zachmdful
Like how is 4gb barely enough? Did u even see the video random gaming made where he tested a old hd 7770 1gb model and it was able to make just about every game playable at a console level of performance. But hell still playable. Also my 2gb r7 370 still plays everything on the market just fine and my gtx 970 wich is only 3.5gb has rarely met a match besides maybe final fantasy 15. But i honestly think that game is a resource hog as the enviroment looks really blah.
I think you're sort of missing the mark on this little bugger somewhat. What they're really remembered for is that they overclock to the moon and smash all i3s and some i5s from the time they game out. I'd suggest a video where you overclock it. I've heard tale that they've overclocked as far as 4 or even 5 Ghz on a stock cooler. I don't quite believe the second one, but I think you'd have much better results overall.
I have one of these with a 1060 3gb and 8g of RAM, I just play project cars and dirt 4 and it runs great in 1080, I've not bench marked it, but it runs nice and smooth
For a cpu + dedicated gpu budget rig the i3-8100 is the new budget king (if you find it at the right price before intel's manufacturing problems)
Please check and make sure that both cores are running there was a bug in Windows 10 that would not allow the G3258 to run overclocked with both cores. I kept mine on Windows 7 till I bought a i3 4130t and installed it. Then I upgraded to windows 10 and now my son games on it.
This chip is still perfect for a Steam Streaming PC pair that with GT 1030 & Steam OS and you will have an amazing steam streaming system
Overclocking on H81?
totally possible on the G3258. i have even seen some H81 motherboards overclocking an i7 4790K.
that Was the best mistake that intel made, i overclocked mine on a MSI B85
😒 1150 is weird, i believe that some of the non Z boards can overclock, not alot because of crappy components but u can do something with it
h81 and g3258 here on 4.3ghz easily
I have an H81-A/BR and managed some good OC on the pentium, still rocking it to this day, I'm waiting for the whole corona stuff go away so I can buy a Ryzen now.
You should try AgaueEye for FPS on screen and sensors, it's doesn't require MSI afterburner and etc.. it's easy to use :)
Dat LOL reference XD
Btw, imho, u should crank up the graphical settings when the cpu is bottlenecking, sometimes it'll help balance things out a bit
I just have my dad's old (He passed away 2 weeks ago) pc on the floor. GTX750Ti, gigabyte z97 gaming 3, pentium G3528, 120GB SSD + 500GB hdd. Going to sell it here in Finland.
:'(
Im sorry for you. I hope you're doing fine. Greetings from Germany
Mine is running as a secondary system on a Msi H81-p33, which shouldn't be able to overclock, but it's running fine @4.2 from day one. I also use the stock cooler, which has a copper slug by the way.
I retired mine this year. It was running 5.0GHz with a $30 motherboard and a $13 tower cooler- keeping up in most games and dominating emulators. All this battleroyale and early access shit is what really killed it, or in other words dealing with a lot of networking and embarrassingly inefficient games. It may be the last real Pentium, but at least AMD keeps the spirit alive. Got a Ryzen 1700 for well under $200, a $40 motherboard, and the same $13 cooler. You can bet I'll hit 4.0GHz before I'm done dicking with it.
Hey RGHD i think you should do a review on budget monitors.
tmmr I'm picking up a pc with a Ryzen 5 1600, 8gb ram, RX 580 4gb for $300, 100gb HDD 7200rpm. Has a very nice case. And 2 sets of gaming keyboards and mice. Sadly the psu is only 450 watt.
But after I sell off what I don't need, pretty nice.
I still use this core, over clocked and everything and it performs admirably, but I just can't ignore the frame drops in Subnautica :(
Hey do a video on if a tri core phenom is still capable for modern gaming cause i know therez a few of those out there and those old phenoms can still swing a decent punch
Why did you stopped the video there? I was so immersed in watching the GTA Vice City Gameplay after a long time 😂
I still have one I bought back when they first came out. Until I can scrounge up the money for my next system it's my daily driver and I'm only using onboard graphics with it.
I tend to like retro games more than modern titles so I haven't tried many of them but right now I'm playing VTMB at 1024x768 and have OBS recording in the background if that says anything about the performance I'm getting.
My wife still uses it, even at stock speeds it performs really well in office work and photo editing. She doesn't game so it's all good.
They've mostly been overclocked, which afters their life-span, I guess that why they're so rare and expensive now.
Have a G3258 @ 4.7 Ghz paired with a GTX 1060 3GB (yeah, overkill) and the only thing it plays is WoW Battle for Azeroth and LotRO. It does just fine with those two MMOs. More than fine actually.
I still have the locked down version of this in my drawer. It's the G3250
i had this cpu until two weeks ago just to get up and running paired with a gtx 770 and 8gb ddr3 and it coped with games perfectly, the only one it couldn't handle was GTA 5, but if you tweaked the cpu demanding video settings you could get it to run high/medium at 1080 60 locked., i had a decent version as i was running a 4.6ghz overclock on a h100i cooler. i've since upgraded to a 4770k. yeah cool story.
I have a G3260 and its still good for a HTPC paired w/ a 1GB Radeon HD 7770.
Theophilus Thistler , haha, similar buid here. G3420, 7770 vapor x 1gb, 4gb hyper x, 120gb ssd hyperx, 500hdd, 450w thermaltake. guess its gonna be vintage from 2019 onwards

I have one for sim racing pc. Dirt Rally and Assetto Corsa run like a champ on it, combined with a R7 360.
Do another video but try it this time with the resolution upscale to 1440p. I wanna see if that frees up the cpu a little more.
Did you make this video after my ranting comments last video or just random chance? Or I wrote them as BluesClues, dont remember.
Bf1's performance is kinda weird with this benchmark, I've seen core 2 quads getting close to 30 fps on low
I still have my G3258 in use on my Hyperspin machine....overclocked to 4.8 (liquid cooled) and matched to a GTX960 it is a bit overkill for that use case....but that machine doesn't need anything more.
I played MGS5 with a G3258 overclocked at 4.0 with a GTX1050 and it ran pretty smoothly on medium settings. It also ran Fallout 4 okay for the most part despite some crashes here and there. It definitely seems like it's a processor that's gonna fall out of style here pretty soon, but I've had good experiences with it in my budget build, and I'd love to see what other AAA games that have come out in the past couple of years that it could run!
Have you ever considered getting a capture card? I believe this would alleviate your capture issues when benchmarking.
I remember how excited I was to get this CPU as it was hyped as the budget king and then be absolutely let down by it's awful performance.
bought one 2 years ago it was a beast 4.4 ghz on stock cooler with decent temperature sold it for 25$
