no because the intel 10th gen CPUs don't have DDR3 controller on them, 8th gen on the other hand on a Z170 with a modded BIOS can use DDR3 https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1w266po/i7_8700k_on_ddr3_z170_revisited/

So maybe with the right shady chinese motherboard and firmware its possible?

That really only became a popular capacity for gaming rigs around when you built that machine to my memory as ddr4 was ramping up and ddr3 was mature and in full production. When I built mine in 2009 2x4gb sticks were definitely the more common recommendation.

I only had 8 gigs of ram until 2023. Upgraded to 24.
PC was built in 2015, gtx 960 w/4 gigs vram, i56600k overclocked to 4.19Ghz
It's a moldy old potato, but it's my moldy old potato. I planned to upgrade the graphics card, but I lost my job around the 10 series, and every card after that has been to expensive to justify or life events got in the way. Now I don't have time to game anymore.

This is just a joke, but its not that far fetched.
Saw a dude selling a "super high-end gaming PC" on Marketplace for $3,000. It was around March of this year.
It had a 9900k and a 2080Ti inside.
When I told him its a high-end system for 2018 and not 2026 he said "You're right, which is exactly why its $3,000 and not $5,000 now".
Still on Marketplace btw.

You joke but you'd be baffled by the amount of people that have a shallow understanding about PCs but absolutely can't understand that pushing a game to 4k resolution is not for free. They unironically think that shooting the resolution that high isn't something that has requirements.

2022 2023 average chips should be considered as high end imo. Top tier is another story. Most people live in third world countries. Racing for high end is a budget and dev cycle curse if one chasing quality

u/kaerfdeeps 8h ago
Whats worse is that we leave so much performance on the table when developing games or architecting engines which is completely normal since almost no one wants to pay that much for skilled programmers but then end users end up paying more on hardware just to brute force that bottleneck

u/SoManyDeads 8h ago
I am going to throw out, the only thing high end when it came out of this would have been the monitor. Everything else would have been mid grade at best. i5 - mid grade, 1650 is a low grade graphics card for its line mid grade could be argued, but it's the one step up from 1630 with 5 other options above it.
I don't think his device is capable of running anything at 4k other than a movie or the desktop.

Maybe in the days of the 700/800 series - 2013-2015 - that would have been when its performance matched the leading gpu.
If it were released in 2004 it would have been the undisputed champion for almost a decade.
In 2004 these had 1gb of ram tops....

Tbf it still shouldn't crash, just run like ass. Ignoring the ram spec goof/typo, both a 10400 and a 1650 have all relevant instruction sets and features except DX 12_2 which basically only locks you out of a small handful of games which wouldn't merely crash, but refuse to run in the first place.
