GTA 5 on XEON E3-1220 (i5 2400), 8GB DDR3 (1333MHz), Radeon Sky 500 (FirePro S7000/R9 270X) 4GB

🎮Game testing on an unusual hardware.
Xeon E3 1220 is very similar to i5 2400, both utilize LGA1155 socket, but Xeon has 2MB more L3 cache (8MB against 6MB in i5) and 15 Watts less TDP (80W comparad to i5's 95W), also Xeon has no built in GPU. And at last Xeon has more Max of PCI Express Lanes (20 compared to i5's 16). So with all their similarity, Xeon is a little different in a better way.
GPU is also a bit unusual. Though Radeon Sky 500 (FirePro S7000) in a nutshell is a good old Radeon HD7870 (R9 270 or r9 270X), its cooling system is very different from that models - uses only one PCI Express slot, has vapor chamber and no has coolers, because it was meant to be used in specific flow-through cases, used in data canters. So it is mandatory to use at least laptop turbine to cool it down, because despite of the first look - it is not a passive cooling system.
The game was installed on SATA SSD.
Memory is in dual channel (2*4GB) 1333MHz DDR3 (non-ECC)

PS: The story behind this 3 years old video is that I accidentally found it on one of my cloud storages (which I thought I've cleaned). So, this time, in order to clean my cloud storage, instead of deleting it once and for all, I decided to upload it to Youtube. Maybe someone find it somehow helpful sometime.
