Huhu dear community,
I have a question for the specialists from the IT segment.
following:
I'm upgrading my girlfriend 's calculator with a relatively small budget, including a 750GB 7.2k RPM HDD (10.00 euro) and a GTX 780 - 3GB variant (70.00 euro).
Now I ordered a new processor to replace a Core2Quad Q6600 (12.99 euro) with the old Core2Duo E8400.
Before, a GT520 was installed in the calculator, the problem is now that the current still built-Core2duo ausbremst the graphics card, since the FPS have hardly experienced an increase.
Will this be different with the Core2Quad Q6600, and if so with how much more power is expected?
The whole system before the conversion:
Core2Duo E8400 - 2x 3Ghz
8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 1333Mhz
Graphics card: GT520 - 1GB
HDD: 250GB WD
NT: 450 Watt BeQuiet
After the conversion:
Core2Quad Q6600 - 4x 2.4Ghz (with Pinmod - 4x 3.0Ghz)
RAM: 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 1333Mhz
Graphics card: GTX 780 - 3GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 750GB 7.2k RPM
NT: 450 Watt BeQuiet
The following games are up for debate:
World of Tanks, World of Warcraft (Burning Crusade), Fortnite, GTA5, CS GO, Rocket League, League of Legends, Eurotruck Simulator 2
Looking forward to answers π
No does not really get better. In some cases even worse. Especially with single-threaded requirements. Also in MultiCore it will probably be better.
Do you also like to explain to me expertly why that is? The plan would be to pull the thing to 3.4-3.6Ghz.
Sorry I missed the pinMod. So it will probably stay almost the same. Either way, the CPU is overwhelmed with the GTX780.
For a GTX 780 has been much more.
What would be rather good is something like the Xeon X5650 / 5660/5670.
The only downside to the CPUs is that you need an x58 socket 1366 motherboard that is far too overpriced. However, then makes sure slowly the power supply problems, the GTX 780 pulls so synonymous tidy power.
I'd say that in GTA V you'll get a bit more performance, because that's pretty much the only game that can do with the extra core. In the remaining games is rather single-core announced, especially with ETS2.
What is stupid on the Q6600: You're doing so a step back from the 45nm Penryn architecture to the 65nm Merom architecture. Not only does it give you ~ 8% less power per core at the same clock, but you also lose the SSE4.1 instruction set extension, which makes sure you can't play Apex Legends with this processor, for example.
I can't name another game out of my head right now, which is why it does not work. The enumerated should all run. Personally, I would really rather have a Q8xxx or Q9xxx resp. Appropriate Xeon resorted. But as I said, in most games you will probably feel no significant improvement over the E8400.
Your toaster games CS: GO, LoL etc will be up and running anyway. Things are different for GTA V and Fortnite.
The Q6600 already has some time left. The structure is extremely bad compared to new CPUs even if the Q6600 is running in OC it is bad. A 3.5 GHz Q6600 is equivalent to a 2.0 GHz CPU today.
Even an AMD 200GE sinks a Q6600

The instruction sets of the Q6600 are so outdated that it is to cry.
But of course it is better in the OC state than the Core2Duo E8400.
Are you sure your NT manages to do that?
A GTX 780 & a Q6600 in OC mode?
A GTX 780 at full load is about 250W.
A Q6600 in the OC comes to about 150 + W.
Then MB and the rest⦠Will probably thin.
