FX-4130 Quad-Core vs i7-965 - Need For Speed: Payback RTX 2070 Max-Q Refresh - Spillytelse Benchmarks

Core 2 Quad q6600 or Core 2 Duo e8400?I'm running an Optiplex 780 with 16gb of ram, a core 2 quad e8400 3 GHz and a GT 1030. I noticed that my gpu is majorly bottlenecking my gpu and I was wondering weather a quad core such as the q6600 2.4 GHz will keep up with my gpu or will the .6 GHz speed decrease also end up bottlenecking my gpu as well? If so, which core 2 quad would be suitable for my gpu?

Most games rely heavily on single-threaded performance. Trading frequency for extra cores may hurt more often than it helps.If you really want to upgrade that computer, see if its motherboard supports the Core 2 Quad 9650. Personally, I'd save for a Ryzen 1200 platform upgrade instead of spending money on a 10 years old Core 2. (I would consider the i3-8100 too if B/H-series motherboards were available but those aren't coming 'till next year.)

Does Core 2 Quad work on DDR2 Boards?I've the HP dx7400 Microtower.Quick Specs:CPU- Core 2 Duo E6550 @ 2.33GHz LGA775 MOBO- MSI MS-7352 ver1.0RAM- 3*1GB DDR2 667MHzPSU- 300WHDD- 1*1TB + 1*160GB (7200rpm-SATA)No GPU as of now!Yeah, I want to remove the Core 2 Duo and get a decent Core 2 Quad! Mostly for gaming!Suggest me a decent and compatible C2Q for this mobo. And I've already selected the C2Q Q9400 or Q9650, will any of these be compatible with the board and the 300W of the PSU?I heard from a random PC guy that none of the C2Q's are compatible with the DDR2 boards, is this true?Help!Thanks.

It supports Q9650. GTX 1050 would work well with that. 6GB RAM with GTX1050, 8GB for GTX1050Ti.With modern GPUs that have 2GB RAM memory speed isn't that big a factor anymore. DDR2 has lower latency than DDR3 so DDR2-800=DDR3 1066 anyway. Dell T3400 workstations can run QX9650 @ 4.15GHz with DDR2 so no problem there.http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/ms-7352-cpu-support-list/

AMD quad-core vs. Intel dual-corehey guys, I've just been given a couple systems that are kind of old but are still usable and I'd like to build them up to be decent machines. my question is which one of these processors are going to perform better? I know Intel makes the most powerful processors out there but is that still the case when a dual core intel is up against a quad core AMD processor? or is the intel dual core still more powerful? I plan to do some work and light gaming on it probably some skyrim SE. Thanks for reading your input would be appreciated.

With a discrete GPU of equal power the i3 will be noticeably faster than the A8 in every way you could use it.

Looking for an LGA775 quad core CPU for upgradei have very old pc i use for gaming (i use my laptop for other stuff) and i would like to upgrade. right now it has:pentium e2200 dual core 2.2 ghz2gb of ddr2 800mhz memoryg31 chipsetasus 8400gs 256mb overclocked and passively cooledi would like to get to 2 more gigs of memory for the maximum of 4gb that this chipset supports, change the gpu (my plan is to go for gigabyte gt730 1gb gddr5 or any other gpu in that price range, also it is the cheapest gddr5 and 1ghz gpu and also it is small enough, consider there arent a lot of gpus here where i live so the other gpus i can afford are r5 230, r7 240 and maaaaybe 250 with ddr3 mem) and my question is which cpu should i buy off amazon, used? or more specifically q6600 or q8200, and if i can run any with my own stock intel cooler temporarily so i can get some money for cooler as i dont have enough for a nice one, after that i will overclock whichever i get to about 3ghz.

im from macedonia, the currency is macedonian denar (1eur is 61.4 mkd)for the cpu i would like to use the money i have left on amazon from gift cards (about 30 dollars, and also i cant find used q6600 or q8200 here) and for the memory cpu cooler and graphics im looking to spend about 100eurthe gpu is about 60eur here so 60 percent of the money, i also considered to underclock the cpu, use my stock pentium cooler and getting r7 250the gt730 requires at least 300w psu, i have a crappy one that came with the case and is 450w and i think it will power iti play on 1440x900 monitor but most of my games are on 1280*800 since thats the lowest 16:10 res i cannot change much in terms of ram, cpu cooler and gpu though i can get a better cpu also my question was pretty much q6600 vs q8200, which one will fit better for the new system? in terms of cpu q8200 is better bus speed and uses less power and gets less hotalso get some better thermal paste as youll need to buy new paste id recomend mx4 thermal paste for the cpumake sure the cpu you get is clean of all the old thermal paste.also the r250 1gb ddr5 usually card make asusand gigabyte made a 2gb ddr5 model of the 730model number GV-N730D5-2GI your pc should be able to handle those cards finethe r250 will be the better of the 2 though as some games that support mantle and vulcan may give you a boost

Core 2 duo to core 2 quadI am building a budget hackintosh I have a Ms 7525 motherboardWhich is a 775 socket one I have a core 2 duo e7300 can I upgrade it to c2q e9550 or c2d e8500Just to increase some performance

The keyword is Express chipset. So, according to Intel, the G31 Express Chiset CPU supports some C2Q Quad CPUs. Up to 1066 Mhz and up to 105 TDP (Watt) CPUs:Both C2 Quad E9550 or C2 Duo E8500 are 1333 MhzAccording to Intel G31 Express Chipset Product Brief [PDF]:https://www.intel.com/assets/pdf/prodbrief/317838.pdfSupports the Intel® Core™2 Duo and the Intel® Core™2 Quad processors. Note: 1333 FSB is supported with Intel® Core™2 Duo processors only. Intel®Core™2 Quad processors are supported up to 1066MHz FSB speeds. http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel_(chipsets)/G31_Express.htmlIntel Core 2 QuadQ6600 - HH80562PH0568M / BX80562Q6600Q6600, 2.4 GHz, FSB 1066 MHz, L2 8 MB Q6700 - HH80562PH0678MK / BX80562Q6700Q6700, 2.66 GHz, FSB 1066 MHz, L2 8 MB
