Dell T5500 Workstation

[Vyn]

Hi, I recently received a Dell T5500 Workstation through my Work and decided to use it as an 8 Core Gaming Rig like how Linus did on his Build Video but I am achieving less performance than I would have expected. I downloaded MSI Afterburner and decided to monitor my Core Temps, Core Usage, Memory Usage and GPU Usage. The game I was playing when I did this was Star Wars: The Old Republic.

 

Specs

OS: Windows 10

Processor: Dual Intel Xeon X5570 Quad-Core 2.93 GHz
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6450

RAM: 12Gigs of IBM PC3L 106000 ECC

 

Temps were staying around 50 Degrees C.

RAM Usage stayed 6% or less.

Core Usage on low settings was 50%.

Core Usage on Medium settings was 30% or less.
Core Usage on Ultra was 30% or less.
 

Cinebench

CPU Test 1: 484 cb.

CPU Test 2: 493 cb.

OpenGL Test 1: 13.30 fps.

OpenGL Test 2: 13.41 fps.

 

Aside from GPU I expected performance to be better than my old PC not Worse, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The 6450 is old and slow
