That is amazing that i7 2600k playing AAA titles in 2025

[xforcepc]

Oh, my brain said 12600K...then I realized it was the 2600K.

[DalePhile-xr]

I have 3770k and belive me it is amazing in all AAA titles on medium settings

[Goreck]

I'm surprised that you can still play new games at 2600k, albeit with overclocking

[blakeguillory]

2500k overclocked was the best processor I ever had for the time

[OneTwoWolf]

The 2600K is still surprisingly usable, it even has a good stab at some of the most CPU demanding games around in 2024, truly a legendary CPU!
That said, I wouldn't recommend buying it in 2024 for gaming, even a 4th gen i7 should be better due to additional instruction sets and 6th gen intel or 1st gen ryzen better still with DDR4, if you're looking to build something on a very low budget.

My pc have the 2700 😂😂 512ssd, GTX 1060 3gb and 32gb ram ddr3, still rocking!! 😂 😂 😂

[JimProfit]

Well, at 4K the difference wouldn't be as wide at least.
Sandy, Ivy and Haswell are real troopers that's for sure.

[thedigitallens]

Since mobile upgrades have peaked and aren't see big upgrades, this should be the next segment for companies to focus on if we are to get closer to hologram tech.

[thedigitallens]

I think the next best is 4790k which still runs new games decently.

[MadridistaFrieren]

Intel didn't send you B580?. My notifs got bomb by their review and all lol

[BNR_]

There's probably more of a platform limitation rather than just the CPU itself i.e. PCI-E Gen 2, no M.2 support, no TPM module (native win 11 support).

[accord]

Thanks bro for this test 😃😃😃😎😌👍 2600 is legend 😉

[danielkline]

My comment, same videocard however old processor not utilizing the cards full potential.

[mr.Dragonbiceps]

Big sir i rly appreciate your work since years your doing this helpfull videos and help a lot of people thank you sir

[weskirkland]

Back in the day of 2600k if you got a solid 30fps you were doing excellent. nobody was getting 60 back then unless sli or something like that.

[ivey]

For so many gens\years the difference is terrible to be honest.

[_Glory_to_God]

Man I want to see your bench on battlemage

[odinomniscient]

Sorry, I had a question. I sold my h 110 and i 5 7500 motherboard and bought an i5 12400 and a b660. Do I need to reinstall Windows?
