Hey guys,
I have an ancient (haven't touched it for 4 years and it was outdated then) gaming PC and was thinking about using it as a streaming server for some steam games to use remote play on my Macbook. The parts are:
Intel Core2Duo E8400 OCd to 4 GHz
4 GB DDR2
GTX460 1 GB VRAM
Samsung EVO 840 256 SSD (from my old notebook)
I realise that's not very adequate for modern games, but I was only thinking about stuff like The Culling, Elite Dangerous, KSP and I don't care about high resolution or graphics quality. My questions: is that completely impossible with that setup and if yes, what the biggest bottleneck? Does it make sense to grab a cheap Core2Quad that will fit in the LGA755 socket (X38 chipset, so no Xeons possible) or would that be an insignificant improvement? Is the GPU somewhat okay or totally outdated even for moderate resolution and low quality settings in modern games? I'm really out of the loop there, so hope you can help.
Thanks
