Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700

Anyone have experience with this CPU? I bought one for $15 to upgrade an old XPS 410. I would just like to know if anyone has used one recently to know how well it performs in games?

Total system build:
Tower/Motherboard: Dell XPS 410
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8300 [Current] -> Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
Memory: 2 GB DDR2 [Will be upgrading]
Power: 375W OEM XPS 410 Power Supply
OS: Windows 10 64-Bit

What do you guys think? This isn't my main rig, I even have a secondary, this would just be a third for people to use when they're guests at my house. It should be able to play games like fortnite, League of Legends, Runescape, Skyrim, etc. right?

Not really the latest games that is a 11 year old processor.

A old i3 2100 has much better performance than that.

Notice in the more demanding newer games the FPS around 30.

Correct, but I never expected 60 from this machine, I was aiming for 30 FPS. It's like a console, and that's okay. I have a machine that can run ultra at 200 FPS 1080p and a machine that can run 60 FPS 1080p.
