The worst track is Blackwood FPS wise, running there between 90-150 FPS. On other, older track sometimes over 280+. Also runs ETS2 on medium settings, looking very nice between 50-70 FPS. All that combined with an overclocked Q6600 @3.0GHz (I overclocked it with a piece of electrical tape) and 4 GB of RAM. I am just writing this so if somebody has really very little money to build a PC, this GPU is a good choice.

I don't really dare to overclock the GPU, I have to respect its age.

Well with my GTX1050 I have no trouble running 2012 ish games (ets2 for instance runs perfectly at ultra 60fps with 200% scaling and many mods, LFS runs so good I'd need a 4K screen + HDR and shader mods to actually see a difference) however for the new triple AAA games that's quite different :/

Anyway I think I'll end up buying a used GTX 1070 or 1060 6GB I'll see
