Gamers Run Modern Titles On DDR3 Systems
|
4.9
In a recent video, maker Gheeotine demonstrates that two budget DDR3-based PCs can run modern games in 2026, using an x79 motherboard with an Ivy Bridge CPU paired with an RX 6600 XT 8GB and a z97 board with an i7-4790 and RTX 4060. Tests show most titles remain playable at 1080p—sometimes dipping into the 30s FPS—indicating DDR3 remains viable for cost-conscious gaming builds.
Scoring Rationale
Practical demonstration informs budget builders but limited novelty and single-source testing reduce broader impact and lacks rigorous benchmarks.
