A friend stumbled upon this ageing relic, a Cyberpower PC from circa 2012, that was actually pretty decent for its day. This is rocking one of the earliest HEDT chipsets - HEDT meaning High-End Desktop, as in the extra-core’d, extra-IO’d CPUs on an extra expensive motherboard - with this being an X79 board, and i7 3820 CPU. The graphics card though, that’s where it’s at - a GTX 670. This was, depending on how you looked at it, the second or sort of technically third most powerful GPU NVIDIA made at the time, with that confusion stemming from the GTX 690, which was actually just two GTX 680s SLI’d together on one PCB, but still. The 670 was an impressive card - but together with this i7, how does this fare in 2024? Is it e-waste, or is it still good enough for gaming? Let’s find out!
