It actually makes a pleasant change to see you looking at older hardware instead of high end gear

The most mind-blowing thing in this video is the fact that kids from 2008 are now 12/13

[h.l-a]

A barely 5 hour old video With subtitles ?
The deaf and hearing impeared community thanks you!

Seriously tho Jay. Thank you ♡

I think the reason Doom didn't run is because it requires an instruction set that the cpu doesn't support. It's something to watch out for when buying old cpus, even high performance ones.

As Jay has said before: who cares if it’s laggy or slow, if you don’t own a computer now, you’re not able to load or play anything anyway!

[rodhester]

slow today but 15 years ago it was not even possible. This is a great machine for retro gaming, the games that it was built for were fun to play and still are.

I love how you manage to come up with good and original material at a time when there isn't that much

my boy uploading on a sunday to make the day a whole lot better

[LucasJodokast]

this old content is great, getting newish titles to run well on old hardware is always satisfying to watch

I just finished off a build for my daughter yesterday, with the final piece being a GTX950. i5-3450 and 8 GB of RAM, she's ready to rock.

[Kcducttaper]

Still rocking an AMD FX-8350 @ 4.5GHz, 16G memory, a GTX 1070, and SSD boot drive. Still plays every game I want to play (The Crew, Forza Horizon, Forza Motorsport, etc) at 1080p, 60fps, ultra settings no problem. Would be cool to see Jay to a video on the 8350.

2:46 "My Little Homie" totally caught me off guard :D

12:47 Jay: "ReAlLy OlD hArDwArE"
Clint Basinger entered the chat. "Greedings!"

Me watching on my 15 yr old pentium 4. Still alive and kicking.

[chibicascade]

also, I'd love to see games running on modern integrated graphics systems

[jacobvriesema]

I was still rocking a GTX960 with 4GB VRAM and 8GB RAM up until a couple months ago. Although I couldn’t play all games on high, it wasn’t horrible.

I'm pairing an R9 5900x with a GTX 770. The 770 has been running every day for the past 9 years. It'll have to do another year as it seems, untill the prices drop.

[CAMintmier]

I would love to see a video on playing old games with new hardware. DosBox, GOG, VirtualBox running Dos 6.22 and Windows 3.1... Might want to see about getting someone like LGR to colab with you on it.

[DarthChewie]

The crazy part is that even if the CPU was 1-2 generations newer it would make this totally usable.

[xCamox]

Still sitting on my old hardware. Upgraded a few weeks ago. i7 920 with a 770fe and 9600k with a 960. Cant find anyone who wants to buy. One day I'll meet a struggling gamer and just make their day.

I had to use a q6600 when my mobo died, it got me into overclocking and I was really impressed with it’s performance in this day and age
