Modern Potato Gaming PC Vs: Call of Duty Black Ops 6 (BETA)

- Опубліковано 6 січ 2025
- I recently built a gaming PC with some of the weakest modern components; parts that you definitely shouldn't buy in 2024. The aim was to see how it holds up as the year goes on and today we're attempting to play the latest CoD with it. How well will it do?
Thanks for watching :)
It ran and looked much better than I expected after hearing the specs.
Yeah I was surprised as well. Especially with 2 cores
I was expecting 30fps 😂
Pentium is a bottleneck . Looks like RX 6300 is not that bad.
@@aleksazunjic9672 don't worry it's a very bad graphics card, it's just that the CPU is so horrible that it's that much worse.
@@Boba_Fett1980 RX 6300 should be able to run games from PS4 era with some sacrifice. 2c/4t on the other hand is not exactly enough.
COD modern cookware
😁
I thought the 2nd o was a c in cookware
COD Modern Cumware
COD Black Hawks 6
CoC of Doo Dooty. Double X 44 hour ses x pp in the advanced arse.
Yes, the IW engine that got modernized for MW2019 (with major iterations with each release of course).
Highly optimized for PS5 btw. (and to some extent xbox)
Not gonna lie, with those parts, I'm shocked the game launched, let alone touched 60+ fps much of the time.
It'll launch on anything that supports AVX2, which means not my 3570k :(
Well, it is still an awful experience anyway. He's made no secret of the fact he is not very good at competitive shooters. To someone who is, this is worse than not playing the game at all. I would have locked it to 40fps to get something resembling consistency and avoid the stutters; could have salvaged something out of the experience, but only because I started out playing Wolfenstein 3D at 18fps.
Big ups RandomGaminginHD
😁
Where is our Athlon 3000g potato? :D
Yeah I need to get that beast back up and running!
2c4t actually does fine with many not-that-old games, but huge multiplayer maps are a killer for it
A Haswell i7 would be cheaper and perform better. I never thought I would say this about an RX6300 but the CPU is holding it back.
Your videos are great. They scratch my itches perfectly
Other than looking like there's been a small layer of vaseline smeared across the screen, it actually was pretty good when it comes to performance!
I wonder how much better it'd look on my CRT
Dual core cpus have truly become obsolete, even the new ones can't handle much these days
It was holding the 6300 back which I didn’t expect haha
@@RandomGaminginHD And that is weird!
Even stock windows runs like garbage on dual cores
I'm using single core 600mhz 32bit computers with half a GB of ram. Three of them, as multiroom audio boxes. The limit is your imagination, not the tool.
@@fanlessfurmarkHe's referring to Gaming. NOT PC's you use to run Audio.
Wonder how different the RX6400 and an i3 would be compared to this setup, great video again
Probably a sizeable improvement tbh
I guess around 100 FPS with such low settings.
I wonder how an APU with Vega 7/8 would be compared to this
@@itsTyrion Vega 8 should be able to run at 720p low with some upscaling.
4c 8t 12100 will run much better than the 2 cores in the video. It was bottlenecking the rx6300 which could have run much better. So 6400 will be a huge improvement too.
You're actually doing not half bad here. :)
And yes, ran surprisingly good.
My own Potato PC is still a i7-4770 with a GTX 970 since the CPU is around from SO MANY Office PCs and the 970 is just the legend from the past that you can get for so cheap these days.
Beta works on such hardware and works surprisingly well. Release version won’t be so forgiving imho based on previous installments.
Even in beta, this is not a playable experience for an online shooter. Even the best players would struggle with this kind of performance.
@@Lurch-Bot What do you mean? 60FPS is perfectly playable
It's a modified version of the Quake III Arena engine (Id Tech 3) that has been improved throughout the years (same engine has technically been used since CoD 2, whereas the original CoD used Id Tech 3 directly). And yes, this is basically still the same as MW2's (2022) engine (IW 9.0 engine), just with the new movement mechanics and some HUD/audio system changes.
Potatoes are underrated.
if you are running a gpu heavy game at 240p yes but otherwise no.
Very, many modest hardware works quite good.
Yeah but this build is more like the eye on the potato.
I'd love to see if The First descendant would even run on that machine.
ps. the eastern European potato gaming station (i7 4770, 16Gb ddr3, RX 570)wins out real hard against that build :D
Yes, a Haswell i7 is substantially better in modern gaming than this CPU. That should come as a surprise to nobody.
The 4 threads put it over the line of playable. Most games are still primarily made for 4 threads. Turns out modern consoles don't utilize the full cpus, letting their OS and background stuff run the rest. So, that's made its way to PC.
looks pretty good for minimum graphics, i could have got use to these graphics back in the day
Recently I've been thinking about a completely passive computer with an n100 processor and a GT 1030 graphics card.
Lol, a N100 could handle a 1650 or RX580, both of which could be passively cooled. Would likely perform significantly better than this Pentium because it has 4 real cores. The N100 might actually be able to deliver a smooth experience in this scenario. It is roughly equivalent in performance to an i5-4670.
@@Lurch-Bot Sure, but I already have a GT 1030 and would like to use it. In my main computer I have a passively cooled RTX 3050 6GB.
That seemed totally playable and actually not too ugly... Decent result
These are great vids! thanks!
Amazed that it runs
imagine a new CPU so bad it bottlenecks the RX6300 down to 60-70% usage....
Love the video by the way, cool to see what you can get out of old/low spec hardware
Seems to be a capable little low power setup! 👌🏻I am surprised. 😃
My set-up may be more on the mid tier of stuff, maybe low-mid, but my issues werent with BO6 itself. There's some menu buffering at most, but COD HQ causes so many crashes on startup.
Much better result than expected.
FSR 1 could help sharpen the image with minimal cost. Since there's a CPU bottleneck, you could even increase the resolution.
the fact that the rx6300 was bottlenecked is mental
There is something I love about "crap" hardware.
I have 10 year old hardware that performs better than this.
Why not turn up the resolution scale if the GPU is so heavily bottlenecked by the CPU?
Can we get some more benchmarks on that Pentium? Honestly surprised with the dual cores performance, great video as always ✌️
I was expecting it tp be pretty much playable, the G7400 despite being a dual core it has a pretty decent per-core performance like every other LGA 1700 CPU, and the 6300 is kinda sorta equivalent to the PS4's GPU, and that one can hit 60FPS, also seeing the 6300 at 60% could mean it could be perfectly playable at a higher resolution with a better CPU
*Nice to see low end able to handle this game*
Would you ever do a video on setting up your screen stats like you do?
Now this is the shit we like to see
I miss the time when the Pentium g4560 that was about $70, used to run everything. Maybe nowadays the cheap hero is the i3 10100
Crazy that the RX 6300 has access to frame gen 💀
i forgot that they even made an rx 6300
It has 32-bit bus 😂
Have to respect the low wattage though, very impressive.
@@no-barknoonan1335 yeah 😂🤣
I've run frame gen recently on a GTX 670 via the Lossless Scaling app. Not crazy. Just what happens when you aren't Jensen Huang and don't want to rip people off so they can do frame gen. LSFG is more efficient than DLSS3 or AFMF frame gen and has lower latency. It also doesn't require the game to support frame gen. It is $7 on Steam and is something that should be in every PC gamer's library at this point. Even if you have a 4090.
LSFG will actually give you double or even triple the frames, as opposed to the 78% gain you get from AFMF or the even lower gain you get from the Ncrapia option. If I had a 4090, I would be using LSFG even in Cyberpunk.
It did alot better than i thought it would 😄
Plays it better than I expected. I guess I watch too many channels that only review new high end cards with max settings- making me think the game was poorly optimized.
Practically speaking, if you want to actually be competitive, this is no better than a slideshow. This is a scenario where simply locking the framerate to 30 fps will double your kills.
I wonder how an Ryzen APU with Vega 7/8 (mobile or desktop) would be compared to this setup
I was expecting like 15 frames, but I was shown wrong😂
Well, Call of Duty has been using the same engine but upgrading everytime, we are now on the IW 9.0.
It is like upgrading a commercial aircraft, eg, the 737MAX. It just gets worse and worse the more crap you stuff into it. Somewhere the original COD game is rolling over in its grave. It is sort of like putting traction control, ABS and fuel injection in a '57 Bel Air. You can do it but you still have a crappy '57 Bel Air that will never quite work right with the modern tech. Plus, it folds like origami in a crash🤣
Plz test on intel Hd 4000 i7 cpu❤
Cod warzone 3 mw3 and the new bo6 run on the same engine.. older ones had a different(better imo) engine
Basically infinity ward 8 on 2019 and infinity ward 9 on mw3 and bo6
Basically the same engine COD has always run on only the more crap they stuff into it, the worse it gets. Most major developers are facing this issue. This is why Starfield runs like, well, Starfield.
Please... More games on the rx6300! I love this card!
I wonder if anyone can solder on more ram onto this baby!
*Mate id love if you compared the pentium g7400 to a 4th gen intel & Ryzen 1000 series chips but with no gpu bottllnecks just to show how good 2cores from nowadays compare to 4 cores and the original 6 cores from 2014/2017*
This is actually pretty impressive performance wonder how it runs on steam deck
I wonder what is going on with most of the latest games running meh with the mid/high gameing rig? Same issue as before: release as half beta, fix it later?
And 2c/4t can do this...
I'd love to see how this compares to the 780m inside AMD's CPUs. I would think that would be a cool comparison to see the RDX 6300 vs the AMD 780m. Also it would be cool to see a GTX 780m vs AMD 780m
The Radeon 780M is nearly twice as powerful as the GTX 780M. Both the RX6300 and the A310 are less powerful than Radeon 780m.
COD's 23 years old engine is called RADIANT, it's based on Quake, and was licenced from id Software.
Even the cheat menus that get sold for aimbot etc, is the same style as the one that was around for Quake back in the late 90's, that's how far the exploits go back into. They already had the suite up and running for the beta before launch lol.
huh, i always thought they finally dropped the old engine back when mw2019 camee out
What?
I have never heard that name and I think about 75% of the engine was completely rewritten with the release of MW19, so there's that.
Radiant is a map editor, one of the development kit tools. The engine which was forked by IW was called idTech 3, which is Quake 3’s engine. CoD1 was made on a modified idTech 3 engine, then they re-wrote it to create their own engine suitable for further CoD games. Hence they preserved Radiant for creating maps, adapting it for the newer versions of the engine. It is unclear to me whether or not they dropped radiant for their own, proprietary map editor yet.
Also, CoD3, which is a console exclusive, was made on Treyarch’s own engine.
Well then all the more pathetic it runs like crap on this hardware.
Looks like I'll be able to play the game after all
Please try the 1080ti as it's the recommended GPU and I can't find a single youtube showing this card
I was surprised my RX 6300 ran on a Via Nano U2257 board I have.
3200g
GTX 1050 2G.
Dual channel 16 gb ram 2400mhz
I feel the performance will be equal or more
Wait.. Thats a modern potato PC...oh boy...ooohh boy... I think I gotta go out back and put my ddr3 out to pasture lol
I've got a gt520 and a gt730 I would love to donate to see what you could do with them
Wow. The COD games really just all look the same now. It’s almost just an asset flip by this point
Any chance we can get the testing done at 100% native vs the %60 (or any other figure percentage) when scaling down? ty
Could you test Ark Survival Ascended? That is if you are able to get it running. It does have a ton of console commands though that u can use to reduce graphical fidelity
Yeah will take a look soon :)
How does Variable Rate Shading affect perfomance?
Was it hard to spot enemy players with the 60% res?
Opinion on hydro dipping a gpu
But can it run Crysis? Also, for extra starch in your potato, a single stick of ram is recommended. 😅
CPU only supports single channel RAM.
2:38 If the CPU is the bottleneck, I think you can increase the resolution...
ah yes, COD6 on the 360
Can you test No Man's Sky?
id still happly play the game with those spec and fps
I play Duty of Call, I don’t know this Call of Duty you speak of. Cheers.
More like Call of Doody these days.
Yo you might want to clamp down on them pr0n bots spamming your videos
They are more harmless than the other Bots replying on Comments, they are the worst!
You think any creator has the power to do that?
I’ve seen it all over the place recently, across a whole bunch of content types and subjects. Just seems to be a general UA-cam issue right now. Best thing anyone can do really is report the accounts if you can be bothered. Eventually it’ll be something that UA-cam picks up on
Nono we need them
You could argue either way, they're not shutting out low end players but they're still not introducing anything dynamic. Total lack of physics and destruction. Their tech has not really moved on since xbox 360.
At this point, CODM is probably the best COD game. Light, simple, to the point. No fuss, no muss. Like playing classic COD online.
Call of duty always got decent graphics and great performance.
Super optimizado🧐🍸
One must always answer the call of the duty or there will be consequences like the dreaded skid mark
What about a new video with this specs?
4gb? Celeron?
I have a core i5 2nd gen 8 gb ram and gtx 750ti and ssd will it work?
And what about hdd???
8gb dual channel ram is psychotic.
4gbx2 sticks is rare today, you see the single 8gb stick more often nowadays
That is better than my laptop by quite a big margin…
Love the potato pc! A 10 year old rig vs COD BO6?
Still looks better than xbox one version
Meanwhile I can’t even launch the game due to a virtual memory error.
Set it to auto
Can it run on fx6300 or i3 3220?
Bro how didi u run this i have a n i5 3rd gen and gtx 1050ti its not launching
Could be the game require AVX2 instructions which is not available until Intel 4th gen
Well, these are almost the exact same specs of my potato rig 🤣
General Lilly
i think anykind of quadcore retest is demanded maybe try switch cpu to i3 and compare 8 and 16gb ram results???
ps todays CPUs pentium are becoming the name of the past.
Should use 16gb of ram, it's dirt cheap and is the minimum for gaming today.
That would help to but cpu is a limiting factor here, RX 6300 can do even more.
I just built my little potato just for fun.
I want to see this system run Tarkov...
Rx 6300 is way better than my R7 240. My son plays Roblox on that machine.
IDK where you find garbage GPUs like this but keep 'em coming. Have you done a video pairing an A310 with something like a 3rd gen i5?
I'm thinking you test so much low end hardware you aren't seeing just how bad this is. Microstutters, wildly inconsistent frame pacing and full on freezes that last for hundreds of milliseconds.
What this really represents is just how stuck COD is as a franchise. A game launching in 2024 should not be anything more than a slideshow on a dual core CPU. This isn't good optimization, just a failure to evolve the gameplay experience.
I’d disagree with this potato segment. A ryzen 3 apu would better qualify with 16gb of ram
Why do you call beta "beeta"
ngl if u have these specs the game should just have a text box that says "no" when u try to launch it
😂
If ever I make a game I will take this into consideration
if i was using this PC i would cap the game at 40-45 FPS so it would stay stable
definitely {b-a-y-t-a} not beeta!....lol.....cool video though!
for such a cheap system, this is excellent. good graphics fidelity, except the sharpness
Should have used single channel 8gb ram for more potatoness
i was gonna try running it on my g4560 XD
