To be honest though, I have seen one of my children in particular have HotS, PvZ, and terraria all going at once and just tabbing between them when he wanted to play them, no issues what so ever all things considering. Intel Pentium D 940 and Pentium G4400 processors were tested using different system components, that are identified by MB, RAM and VID columns in the tables below. Super fast and snappy, web browsing is of course fast, the MAJOR downside you will see with these CPU's is due to it being dual core it will not have the multitasking like a 4/6/8 core CPU can get you. Intel Pentium G4400 - Pentium Skylake Dual-Core 3.3 GHz LGA 1151 54W Intel HD Graphics 510 Desktop Processor - BX80662G4400. System wise, Windows 10 plays very nice with the CPU. If you were to pair these with a 1050 and given its cheap price, games like Fallout 4, Battlefield 1, and DOOM all become playable at an extreme budget level cost. (all at 720p or 1080p with above 40fps in either case). Example 450 GTS lets these CPU's (4560-4600-4620 I have all 3) play the above mentioned games on pretty much high settings. What makes it a great CPU along with the 4560 or 4620 is if you pair these with anything upwards of a Geforce 450 the performance goes way up on any and all games. Keep in mind these are for 3 systems for my own children so they don't need 60+fps at 4k, they are gonna have to earn that later in life.Ĭan play HotS (medium settings for looks and fps~40 // Low gets you 60fps), Plays 2D games no problem (terraria, fallout, starbound, PvZ, Diablo 2), games like LoL, Overwatch, TF2, Diablo 3, Hearthstone, all play ~40fps on medium settings like HotS.

Overall Review: I purchased 3 of these for some budget systems with the idea of both using the dual core and its integrated chip for casual gaming. Its on the lower end so its cache its lower :/ CPU-Z shows the Intel Pentium G4400 is running at 3300MHz on the EVGA Z170 FTW motherboard, which is running the latest BIOS 1.07.

Cons: -Well its a dual core is the really only draw back, but you probably know that buying it right?
