Playing a 2012 game on a 2006 computer in 2024.
Performance test and benchmark of my Mac Pro 1,1 equipped with non-bootcamp Windows 11 and an RTX 4060.
Disclaimer - The KZfaq encoder is causing artifacts in the resulting video. I'm unsure if there is anything on my end I can do to minimize that loss of quality. Any recommendations or tips to increase video quality are appreciated.
