10 years from now: "Hello everyone and welcome to another video. Now this is the RTX 2080 Ti which retailed for around a thousand dollars US but can be found nowadays for around $50"
Wayyyy cheaper, from 10 years ago I bought the worlds most expensive GPU ($2,799 which cost the same as 4x GT8800 SLI, or quad Titan RTX of back then). It cost me $40 mint and brand new in sealed box.... You think the 2080ti will be above $20? Dream on! There is a reason a GT8800 only costs $10 max (or free), haha $50, ha!

20 years from now: welcome to LGR, we are seeing a old pc from 2019 with a old i9 9980xe, 2080 ti, 8 tb of storage, 128 gb of ram, a asus deluxe x99, cooler master fans, cooler master case, cooler master cpu fan.
Why a 4870? That's barely better than the 4850 currently in it. I think you should get at least a Radeon HD 5870 or a GTX 480, because they have DX11, meaning they provide a real upgrade.
I always loved this kind of machines! I had a Packard Bell with a Q8300, 8GB of DDR3 ram and a 9300 GS (Later 9600 GT), it was my first gaming pc and I used it to play AAA games from 2011. I still love the lga 775 platform, it's flexible and still up to date in normal tasks, loved this video reviewing this kind of computers.
I still have that case sitting on my shelf, love how huge it is, mostly metal case and the aesthetics of it. When I ordered mine it came with 4 gigs of ram, winxp (I remember paying extra to install XP over Vista), 2x9800GTs in SLI (thin ribbon SLI bridge came installed) and a core 2 quad, (2.8 ghz I think) on an nForce chipset equipped mobo. I still have all the components sitting around here. Can't remember, but I think it was around $12-1400. Service tag still works at dell, HQRRLJ1, but it doesn't have the config on it anymore...
I'm watching this video on a 2010 Dell Studio XPS 8100. Got it from a client a couple years ago when her father went into extended care. I'd like to meet the guy that sold a 95 year old man an $1100USD gaming machine to check his email. This is a Core i7-870 2.93, currently running 12GB of RAM, WD Black 1TB and Seagate 4TB HDs, Gigabyte GTX 1060 3GB video, and Windows 10. Triple monitors round out things with a 32" Vizio HDTV, HP 23" and VieSonci 24" LCDs. Been very happy with it. Thanks for the video.
I grabbed a couple of XPS 8100, think they where used by an architect firm. Just laying on the curb. The white and black theme like you said, with the XPS pressed into the metal on the sides. Haven't touched them in a bit cuz my laptop died and win 10 is torcheres to get back on.... Like that's news, lovin the old school stuff. Sadly haven't seen many streamers doing it much lately. Enjoy the cooler weather while it lasts.
I'm still rocking with my over 10 year old gaming PC. BSEL modded Intel Pentium E2160, vmodded ATI HD4670, 2x2GB RAM and 19'' 1280x1024 monitor. I can play AAA games like The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion/Skyrim, The Witcher 2, Mass Effect 1/2/3, Dragon Age 1/2/3 and Fallout 3/NV/TTW. Too bad I can't play Fallout 4 or The Witcher 3 because my GPU doesn't support DX11, but I can watch ''Let's play'' videos and it's almost like playing the game. I have my studio tour and gaming setup video on my channel.
I have an XPS 8100 as my gaming rig. Rocking a similarly striking white and black color scheme from factory. Core i7-2600 non-k. Originally had a 500GB HDD, Radeon 6990 1GB GDDR5, and 8gb of ddr3 1333MHz it was certainly a capable beast. I bought it with a dead GPU for $70, and set to work. Now it's rocking a GTX 1060 6GB, 2x 4TB HDDs, 120GB boot SSD, 32GB Geil EVO Corsa RAM, and it was cheap! It will still do VR and anything else you throw at it. My only complaint is that these old Dell BIOSes and motherboards do NOT support newer R7, R9, and RX series GPUs. Definitely something to consider.
My main rig right now is the Dell Studio XPS 435MT (x58 chipset from around 2009) that I have upgraded with 18gb DDR3 1333mhz ram, PNY GTX 750 ti 2gb, Xeon W3580 4c/8t 3.33mhz cpu, and an EVGA 600watt 80+ power supply. The computer was given to me, but I have slowly over time bought all the upgraded used parts (except for the power supply which was new). Can't overclock with Dell's bios and can't use the higher core count xeon that the xps 435T can. With that said, I'm able to play Far Cry 5, Far Cry New Dawn, GTA5, Dishonored, Dishonored 2, Assassin's Creed Unity, etc. with respectable framerates @ 1600x900 resolution. I can't afford to buy or build anything newer than that and it is a decently pleasant gaming experience.
I actually buy these to take the power supplies, they also had the same model with lower tier options, it came with a core 2 duo, and an 8800 GT 512MB. They were pretty sweet either way, also the core 2 quad Q6600 ones actually came with 2 mechanical drives in SLI, im not sure what the storage all added up to, but they ran as one GPT partition in Raid.
They were great machines, I bought mine in 2008 with the QX6850 and dual 9800GT Nvidia cards, came with Vista upgraded to 7 a few years later bumping memory to 8, upgraded graphics to a 3gig Nvidia and a ssd, continued to use for gaming until 2015, still runs and use for things other than gaming, was over $2000
I have a 512mb version of HD4850 as a backup/testing GPU, and I have no problem running it on Windows 10. The driver installer doesn't work, but you can install it manually from the Device Manager, just point it to the .inf file and it installs without any compatibility layers. Even the 1080p resolution works natively, although the monitor does run via a DVI to HDMI adapter
8gb of DDR2, a 2gb R7 360 and you have a pretty solid esport PC. That really tells a lot of what is the real lifespam of a flagship CPU. Can't wait to i7 2600k 10th year aniversary... with 8 threads and up to 32gb of DDR3 it can be quite a beast, after all, there's only a couple of games that are going to give problems to the old i7. Hell, even Fx8350 will still perform "kind of" ok in 2 years
Love the look of these particular models from 2008-2009 and the quality from the case and components is superb, very heavy though. I have a 730x which I picked up last year for about 100€. Converted it to a modern gaming rig with all the latest components. Trickiest bit was to find an adapter for the controller board which powers all the case LEDs. Luckily someone in the states makes one as the stock controller draws power from a proprietary connector which comes off the power supply. As mentioned in the video if you find one of these pick it up and upgrade, you wont regret it.
My first gaming PC was the XPS 730. With a Q9650 core2 quad. And a GTX 295. It had the H2C liquid cooler. Was a beast for it’s time. I still have the pc been sitting for years in a closet.
I still play MW2 online on PS3 in 2021, never have trouble finding a match on Team Death. Most other game modes are empty of players. My favorite of the series, right at the peak of COD imo
About to passive cooler. My first PC was a Dell precision with a Intel Xeon inside. And I was also a bit confused about the passive cooler being on it until I opened it up. I ended up switching out the fan inside for a noctua one. This prove to be a big pain in the butt.
I bought a Dell XPS 720 h2c for €35,- a few months ago. It fully works (although the AIO is not as good as it used to be because the cpu can get hot af) and I upgraded it to a point that it still plays modern games kinda ok. It's fun to play around with hardware from that time period, but i kinda hate the bios because it's locked down to a point that you can only increase the multiplier to overclock and a few other things.
Enjoyed the video. reminded me of my old Dell I paid 700 bucks for back in the day and must have been earlier than this because XP was the newest thing. I thought I'd bought a great system. There was a Dell # you'd call and they'd help you spec out your PC over the phone because most of us didn't know anything other than what we wanted to be able to do with it. Mine could burn CD's and I started retiring my cassettes. What a day
Just plop a cheap GTX960 or an R9 280 in there and maybe a Q9650 overclocked to 3.6GHz if the mobo supports 400MHz FSB, and voilá, modern gaming for and additional €100 or less. I'd love to see that, man! Great video as always! Oh, and another pair of 2GB DDR2 800 dimms for the cool 8GB, of course. If you could do this gpu + cpu + ram upgrade for 100 of your British pounds it would be a very interesting video indeed!
The gem was if you could find a XPS 730x from 2008. In 2008 they had the Core 2 Quad version but they also offered the very pricy Intel Core i7 model aswell.
I actually was given one in a pawn shop. It still has the power supply and motherboard but whoever had it before to the GPU, ram, and storage. I want to rebuild it as a new modern PC
that tower cooler is probably my favorite part of that whole system, my LGA775 core2 Extreme gets SOOOO hot but I can't be bothered to get a better cooler cause I don't actually use the machine anymore....
I have a problem with my xps 630i where it would often crash and the only way to start it up again is to hold down the power button and then turn it on again. I have yet to find a fix.
This is pretty cool since I started to upgrade mine a bit just for fun. Got 8gb ddr2 q9650 OC to 4.2ghz and a gtx 960, runs everything I throw at it short of modern titles
$100 for that is a great deal. Those XPS systems from that era are extremely well built and with those specs you've got some breathing room. You should be able to overclock both the CPU and GPU decently well and then add another 4gb of RAM and end up with some pretty good performance.
My mum used to have one of these but she painted it purple and sadly last year when we found it last year in the back if the garage it had suffered mager water damage we still got £30 for the case though...
I gutted mine few years back put a corsair 850w power supply, all new fans ,msi m power mobo, 32gig ram, 3770k and a GTX 680 then upgraded to 1080ti FE. Going to completely upgrade when the 3080ti or whatever comes out.
That psu looks a ton more high quality than any Dell psu even if it's not Sleved cables with a black psu makes it look better in general Also I wish mw2 didnt cap at 90fps in multiplayer
@@iiiiii7680 Yes, all CoDs kinda use the same engine (at least up to BO2), so they all share the same command console and commands, just try it by yourself, there's lots of commands (and some of those are actually used by hackers since the cheats are already in-game, just blocked by a simple command). In most old CoDs, com_maxfps is by default set to 91 (so it blocks FPS to 90), but you can give it any value between 0 and 1000.
@@gasparspeed thanks! And that makes me wonder, waw has sli support but mw2 doesnt (I know it's not a big deal but for older hardware it is) since they use the same engine I wonder why it wouldnt. And I believe mw1 has SLI support too
@@iiiiii7680 Just checked it and it doesn't have the button on the Options menu but it does have the command for it. "/r_multigpu", by default it's set to 0, but I guess if you set it to 1 it should work (can't test it tho, since I only have a single GPU)
I would have think that Windows 10 would work fine on that PC. My Dell Precision m4300 laptop seems to run Windows 10 pro 64 bit 1903 just fine and this laptop seems that it was released in June of 2007. It has 4 gb ram, 2.5 ghz Core 2 Duo, and a 256 mb Nvidia Quadro. Though can't run any recent games, it still works fine for lighter gaming as well as in Windows 10 for general internet and office use.
I'd love to see you hit the used market and get that machine up to 8 GB of 800 MHz DDR2, a GTX 1050 2 GB, and perhaps a 240 GB to 256 GB SSD for the OS. That would really make that machine a neat little gaming rig.
It is the speed of the ram I built a cheap and cheerful rig for my sister running a lga 775 cpu one step up (Q9550) and at gtx 660. Even with 8 gigs of ram it wouldn't run any open game very well dying light was unplayable and GTA was BORDERLINE, all I did was change the motherboard to one with DDR3 support and use 8 gigs of 1600mhz and it was WORLDS better like 40 - 50 fps on medium or low at 1080p
Noticed that on the driver screenshot, there was a driver for Windows 7 and a driver for Windows 8, but not Windows 10 - hence why you were having problems on Windows 10 on the GPU. Most things that ran on 8 should work fine on 10, so I'd be tempted to try 10 again using the Windows 8 drivers. Though in all honesty, given that this machine shipped with Vista, I don't think it would like 10 that much, and Windows 7 is the sweet spot here. Shame it runs out of support in less than 6 months.
in relation to drivers installing Amd Legacy drivers for the hd6k/5k/4k if your on win 7x64 and you get a Blank catalyst with no options. Get the Vista X64 drivers instead.
Is this one BTX or ATX? If it's BTX it will be hard to upgrade the motherboard because the mother board is on the opposite side of the case. I had a 720 xps with a BTX mother board and no one was selling any new boards for it. Wish I still had that 70 lbs. beast of a PC.
Still got mine, ok got to be honest, it´s been upgraded a couple of times but the frontfans are the original ones aswell the card reader and the drw burner, if it will see another upgrade? don´t think so a rtx 2060 super just fitted in no room to spare
Damm I had this pc for ages, used to be half decent apart from the standard hdd taking literally 5-15 minute windows boot times. Have an ssd now and feel like 20 seconds + is too long.
I feel like we’re getting to the point in graphics cards(i.e. 2080ti, rtx titan) that there’s not gonna be a game that can’t run on it well for a longggggg time because of how amazing they are. but idk let me know ur thoughts
Metro was like that bcz The SMAA was set to 0.5 if you do that it halves the resolution so you were playing anti aliased 960x540 you need to set it at 1.0 or atleast 0.8 btw your videos are great and will be forever I enjoy your content very much ;)
Not alot you can do to them. Convert case to ATX and do new build. I've got xps 730 and it is basically 100% un upgradable in it's current BTX form factor state.

My runs now on Linux Mint ( I am not a gamer ) and it will do, I hope in 10 Years ;-)
Im making a sleeper with this pc im now in the process of painting the inner housing!
I have a problem with my xps 630i where it would often crash and the only way to start it up again is to hold down the power button and then turn it on again. I have yet to find a fix.
So next video is you upgrading this to see where you can get?
This is pretty cool since I started to upgrade mine a bit just for fun. Got 8gb ddr2 q9650 OC to 4.2ghz and a gtx 960, runs everything I throw at it short of modern titles
$100 for that is a great deal. Those XPS systems from that era are extremely well built and with those specs you've got some breathing room. You should be able to overclock both the CPU and GPU decently well and then add another 4gb of RAM and end up with some pretty good performance.
My mum used to have one of these but she painted it purple and sadly last year when we found it last year in the back if the garage it had suffered mager water damage we still got £30 for the case though...
I have this model but I put an X570 and 3600X CPU in it. 1070Ti. work really great.
I gutted mine few years back put a corsair 850w power supply, all new fans ,msi m power mobo, 32gig ram, 3770k and a GTX 680 then upgraded to 1080ti FE. Going to completely upgrade when the 3080ti or whatever comes out.
HD 4850 does support up to 2560x1600 with dual link dvi. I know, because I had two in crossfire with a 24 inch 2560x1600 monitor back in 2009.
That psu looks a ton more high quality than any Dell psu even if it's not
Sleved cables with a black psu makes it look better in general
Also I wish mw2 didnt cap at 90fps in multiplayer
You can change that in the command console, just type "/com_maxfps ***" (where *** is the amount you want to cap it).
@@gasparspeed Really? I've never seen anything about that
@@iiiiii7680 Yes, all CoDs kinda use the same engine (at least up to BO2), so they all share the same command console and commands, just try it by yourself, there's lots of commands (and some of those are actually used by hackers since the cheats are already in-game, just blocked by a simple command).
In most old CoDs, com_maxfps is by default set to 91 (so it blocks FPS to 90), but you can give it any value between 0 and 1000.
@@gasparspeed thanks!
And that makes me wonder, waw has sli support but mw2 doesnt (I know it's not a big deal but for older hardware it is) since they use the same engine I wonder why it wouldnt. And I believe mw1 has SLI support too
@@iiiiii7680 Just checked it and it doesn't have the button on the Options menu but it does have the command for it. "/r_multigpu", by default it's set to 0, but I guess if you set it to 1 it should work (can't test it tho, since I only have a single GPU)
I would have think that Windows 10 would work fine on that PC. My Dell Precision m4300 laptop seems to run Windows 10 pro 64 bit 1903 just fine and this laptop seems that it was released in June of 2007. It has 4 gb ram, 2.5 ghz Core 2 Duo, and a 256 mb Nvidia Quadro. Though can't run any recent games, it still works fine for lighter gaming as well as in Windows 10 for general internet and office use.
I'd love to see you hit the used market and get that machine up to 8 GB of 800 MHz DDR2, a GTX 1050 2 GB, and perhaps a 240 GB to 256 GB SSD for the OS. That would really make that machine a neat little gaming rig.
Thats what im going to do ! Just bought one
Something a bit off-topic; how to put and configure the upper left stats? Thanks!
I'd LOVE to see a cpu/ram upgrade in this beauty, and just for the heck of it, maybe a more modern gpu.
I had a 4850 and then a 5850 and a C2Q 9550 Yorkfield.
If you choose the lowest settings in Metro Last Light it will half the internal resolution IIRC
It is the speed of the ram I built a cheap and cheerful rig for my sister running a lga 775 cpu one step up (Q9550) and at gtx 660. Even with 8 gigs of ram it wouldn't run any open game very well dying light was unplayable and GTA was BORDERLINE, all I did was change the motherboard to one with DDR3 support and use 8 gigs of 1600mhz and it was WORLDS better like 40 - 50 fps on medium or low at 1080p
took a look at ebay. $250 minum $350 average $500 most. You lucked out :)
Great video man!
I love these videos! Thank you for making them.
You could also show the ram usage it might help to see if more are is needed
Noticed that on the driver screenshot, there was a driver for Windows 7 and a driver for Windows 8, but not Windows 10 - hence why you were having problems on Windows 10 on the GPU.
Most things that ran on 8 should work fine on 10, so I'd be tempted to try 10 again using the Windows 8 drivers.
Though in all honesty, given that this machine shipped with Vista, I don't think it would like 10 that much, and Windows 7 is the sweet spot here. Shame it runs out of support in less than 6 months.
I have an old 730x I found in my neighbors garbage and it's got an i7 965 extreme edition I suggest you find and review one of those
in relation to drivers installing Amd Legacy drivers for the hd6k/5k/4k if your on win 7x64 and you get a Blank catalyst with no options. Get the Vista X64 drivers instead.
My friend's 10 years old pc has similar specs, it has a Q9550, 4 gigs of ram and had a gt210 upgraded to a gtx 750ti at some point
This is my favourite pc that I'm never gonna have :(
Can you review the Asus essentio series with the amd a10 Apu? It’s still my family’s main computer
Do a full Build in that beautiful old xps PC !!!
another 10 years and I can buy this, god is great
If you put a modern system in that case it wouldn't look out of place, that's a nice case
I was surprised at how clean the box was. Did you clean it up beforehand? If not, extra points.
I want to see it upgraded. Quad 2 Cores are still good for gaming as long as the newer games don't need the newer instruction sets like Apex Legends.
Had a similar cooler on my Pentium D and later e5300 cpu on my AsRock 4CoreDual-VSTA
Is this the frist time you use Music for your B-Rolls? Do you use Epidemicmusic?
Is this one BTX or ATX? If it's BTX it will be hard to upgrade the motherboard because the mother board is on the opposite side of the case. I had a 720 xps with a BTX mother board and no one was selling any new boards for it. Wish I still had that 70 lbs. beast of a PC.
Still got mine, ok got to be honest, it´s been upgraded a couple of times but the frontfans are the original ones aswell the card reader and the drw burner, if it will see another upgrade? don´t think so a rtx 2060 super just fitted in no room to spare
If you look at the date code the HDD has been replaced it says 2013 in the HDD
I got one of the Dell XPS PC's for 50 it had a evga 570 hd and an i7 965 extreme but had the stock water cooler that couldn't be refilled
Old is gold 🔥🔥🔥
Have had one from the scrapyard as file server, love the obsolete technic :D
I have a Dell T5400 with dual X5460 CPUs, it seems the base Chassis are mostly the same, threw a HD7950 in it as well as 32GB DDR2 FB RAM.
I have Dell XPS 2011 laptop and im using it for today
i have one nowmine has a red front and crom sides and it still works i use it to test hard drives
Damm I had this pc for ages, used to be half decent apart from the standard hdd taking literally 5-15 minute windows boot times. Have an ssd now and feel like 20 seconds + is too long.
i still have from 2006 PC which costed back then 1200Euro and now i use it as my leg rest :D
I can't lie I still rate that design even today, yeah it's on the tackier end of things but I still think it looks good.
I feel like we’re getting to the point in graphics cards(i.e. 2080ti, rtx titan) that there’s not gonna be a game that can’t run on it well for a longggggg time because of how amazing they are. but idk let me know ur thoughts
Metro was like that bcz The SMAA was set to 0.5 if you do that it halves the resolution so you were playing anti aliased 960x540 you need to set it at 1.0 or atleast 0.8 btw your videos are great and will be forever I enjoy your content very much ;)
Not alot you can do to them. Convert case to ATX and do new build. I've got xps 730 and it is basically 100% un upgradable in it's current BTX form factor state.
the 630i and 625 are ATX just inverted
"HD 4850 from AMD"
*Angry ATI Noises*
at the time ati acquired by amd
I love the look of the system.
I have a xps 730i! It has the first gen i7 720 that I replaced with a xeon and a gtx 1060!
Hi i love your vids dude keep up the good work👍
Looks at Steam directory finds no games above 50gb hmmmmmm though I'm happy you called it a module and not stick :)
