I remember back in 2008 when i went to the shop and purchase the Q6600, the seller game me an arrogant look - you know the look of the person that owns wisdom- and told me that I HAVE TO get the dual core CPU, as the Q6600 is ONLY for video editing purposes so it is a waste of money, games work perfect with two cores so quad core is a bad investment. He almost ordered me to do so, this was not a suggestion LOL. From my side, I always believed that the more cores you have the better future proof PC you have, even for games. Even if current games do not support 4 cores, next gen games will do so. This is what happened eventually. I just told him that I know what I want and just give me the CPU to go home and do it quickly as I have to build a damned PC back there. I would like to see him now and have a talk again about this CPU, its usefulness and his failed 'advice' . :) Great video by the way, very informative and these multiple benchmarks helped to see the power of the combination of this CPU with the card.
@@lolkaas9307 LOL. So it was you huh ? Now what do you have to say after all these years huh ? what ? By the way i am selling back the CPU for 500$ as it has a collective value. Special price for you my friend who knows better and gives 'excellent' advice to customers :P
A good deal right now is used office prebuilds (HP,DELL,ECT) with i5 2400's. I'm picking up HP 6200 MT's with i5 2400, 4gb RAM and 500Gb HDD with original win COA for 100USd (+25USD shipping). Slap an extra 4gb for 15 bucks and throw either a bigger HDD or an SSD ( or like I did, BOTH) and throw in a 1050 o 1050Ti and You just made a console stomper for 300-350$( depending if your got the Ti or not)
All the systems that my school had before I left all had Core 2 Duos, they were then replaced with i5 2400's (The whole systems were replaced) But they were Dell Optiplexes, I'm thinking about getting one of Ebay and slapping a 1050 Ti in it to make it a decent and usable rig.
+octavio mancilla Yes, the newer ones were OptiPlex 790's, an i5-2400 would still be a very capable processor. I think there are some with i7-2600's, might opt for those ones, you can make any computer faster if you know what your doing. :)
If it has a PCI-E 16x slot it will work. Considering that is at least 3 generations newer than the Q6600.. well use some common sense and think about it for a minute or two.
After a year running this rig, it's a great value upgrade to an older system. I finally was forced to ditch my 9yo 4870 1G that's been paired with my Q6600 since I built it after upgrading to win10 and AMD refusing to update drivers (unlike my older laptop with an nvidia go7600 that has a legit supporting driver released, thank's Team Green!). I didn't want to spend a lot, and the 1050ti hits those points. My power draw dropped immensely. Here's the thing with this rig though, you will max out the CPU and be unable to use more than about 50-75% gpu capacity because the CPU limit throttles your ability to use the GPU. The plus side to this, is it means it rarely gets hot. The Gigabyte version I bought is silent, no fan running in my basic desktop use of the rig, and in gaming, the fan is near silent and has NEVER exceeded 50% speed. It only runs in limited bursts even because the card simply never gets the chance to heat up. I have had a few interesting things because of my motherboard (Gigabyte EP35-DS3L) come to light, such as it only runs in PCI-E 2.0 x1 mode for some reason. It hasn't been a problem really though. I assume the mobo is simply unable to assign it more lanes or perhaps it's a power draw issue on this older board. I'm guessing power, because literally today the rig finally gave up the ghost and won't boot with the video card 2/3 of the time. The card tests fine in my other right though, and I can throw in an older PCI-E 1.1 card (Radeon x1300 that I keep around for HOLY CRAP EMERGENCY!!! reasons) and it works fine. I'm guessing the poor decade old mobo caps finally decided enough is enough. *RIP* Nonetheless, it's DEFINITELY worth the upgrade price, and I wouldn't bother throwing anything more expensive in an older rig like this.
I've been watching your daily videos non-stop. I'm thinking of buying a generic £300 home pc with an intel i5 3.2Ghz and a Nvidia gt730. i'll then spend another £140 on the new 1050ti. I probably would've spent a lot more and got less performance wise without your videos. thanks man :)
For £450 it is a pretty good choice but you might be able to do better. I have an i5 2500 + 8GB DDR3 1333 + GTX 960 that I`ve built about a month ago from less than that. CEX is a pretty good place to start.
RandomGaminginHD yeah, you are one of the very few youtubers that still shows love for old GPUs in the benchmarks. I have a HD7970 with a Intel i7-930 & 8gb ram right now and was wondering if the GTX1050ti would get me better fps on 1080p?
Thanks to this video, my cousin needs to buy one thing in order to the gaming computer he wanted. Thank you, for finally making his mind up. Great job, mate!
+PrivateGaming101 bit of a cheek, but after a couple of weeks they should drop. They're just price hiking because they know there's hype around the cards. From what I've seen, ebuyer had some in stock for 135.99
Followed your advice from this vid! A friend of mine had an ANCIENT Dell Dimension 9200 from 2007 laying around! (Almost 10 years old!) Had a Core 2 Duo at first and Windows Vista and it barely ran. We upgraded the CPU to a Core 2 Quad Q6600 for just $15 on EBay, and with 8gb RAM (DDR2 sadly) and a new 1tb HDD with a fresh install of Windows 10, this PC was back in business. But, It's GeForce 7800LE wasn't going to play any modern games, so we got a brand new GTX 1050! Slapped it right in and worked without a problem! Now my friend is playing all his games at max settings and having a great time with a gaming PC constructed for under $300!!!
wasnt the q6600 a good overclocker ....couldnt you like overclock to 3.6 to 4.0ghz to improve framerates .....p.s i have the i3 4160 witch is close to the i3 u used and its ok not as good as the 8350 i was using before tho .....i wouldn't reccomend to anyone tbh 2cores is tragic .... only using it till i can afford 4770k in a month or so got this i3 machine for 100 quid
i have been running my q6600 at 3ghz for the last 8 years. anytime i have ever tried to go higher my computer wont boot. i read about the huge overclocking that could be done on this cpu before i bought it but i must have gotten a weak one. i am pretty sure it is the g0 stepping.
I took your advice and bought one Q6600 for around 10$ to go with my GTX1050. Honestly that CPU moved me from the stone age to ''average modernity''(prev I had Duo E3400). Now I'm planning to overclock it to see if I can get even better results.
G4400 will suffer when you play games that requires massive CPU resources. But if you want a PC with a better future, then yes, it's much better than the Q6600
I believe you could also OC a G4400 and give it a similar performance to the Intel i3 6100 BaseClock. Possibly reduce the barrier that is there for games that need more that 2 cores. Take this with a grain of salt. I could be wrong.
is great, but is only Dual Core and some games will suffer from that, Witcher 3, Rise Of The Tomb Raider and Far Cry Primal would have troubles on a Dual Core since these games execute operations on multiple cores.
Rubby Abi i3 6100 is the best budget dual core so go with that if you want better performance on games and in the future you can upgrade get an i5 skylake
Pretty awesome value if you bought a LGA775/Q6600 system nearly TEN freaking years ago! Unbelievable longevity. You can even get these to clock a bit higher for even more fps. Thumbs up for this video.
I'd hate to say it but I am very surprised by this combo. Definitely something budget or new gamers should look into. Once again, amazing video, Random! Really a channel made of gold!
! advice for you guys if you planing to buy used mob+cpu+ram combo gof or intel i series you can go for cheap used i5 2nd gen somthing like 2400 or 2500k its much bether then Q6600 and its apsolutly no bottleneck. Also you can buy used 750ti for like 50-60 bucks on internet and build a 200$ cheap gaming rig for 1080 gaming... With 120gb ssd. :)
RX 460 is $100 and the GTX 1050 is $120 right? Wait wait... 3-5% better... 20% more expensive.......... LOGIC! lets get the 1050 LOL! Fanboys are so funny XD
But you see, people opt for gtx 1050 because it receives better and faster updates, and even more performance on AMD optimized games. Nvidia just has better reputation.
There is a very good chance that a RX 460 won't work because UEFI/Legacy bios issues and OEM's. I have Lenovo 2nd gen i3's that the RX cards don't work on. The gtx 1050 ti works fine on them.
It’s not anyone being a fanboy, it’s just they want the performance. AMD cards are cheap but you get what you pay for :/, and this is coming from a guy that loves AMD and Nvidia
Dude, Ebay has so many the issue is there are only like 20 motherboards on this processor that accepts 16gb of ram. Which ram will become a really big issue when games the next set of games come out.
sermerlin1 That can be very incorrect. I don't see a full GPU in a ps3, or ps4. They use methods to make them cheaper. For a PC this is different. We don't have access to the tech they use to "Optimize games".
thanks for the motherboard info in the description, im looking to upgrade my overall pc, but let the processor a bit longer, now i know a motherboard wich is compatible with it and has ddr3 ram
excellent video! There are so many out there thinking 775 socket intel family can't game a thing! I had E6600 then replaced by Q6600 and no have QX9650 @3.2Ghz oc and R9 280X oc and I play fallout 4 star wars battlefront battlefield 4 and call of duty black ops 3 with no problem at all! descent frame rates (over 40 average)
I'd suggest using a utility like CAM to show on display other things like CPU and GPU utilization, could be useful having more information up there for viewers to look at.
Hello from Brazil mate, first i would like to say thank you for your work on low budget comparison videos, and second i would like to request a video on the core i7 980x LGA 1366 to see how it behave on modern games. Keep up the good work
UPDATE: bad news......motherboard is dead. i get error code (--), it was a nice machine back in the day and i really wanted to revive it. i ended up getting an EVGA Z170 FTW and i'll start from there. looks like my 680i sli will be put on display going forward.
I'm actually living this hell at the minute, my pc has died and I'm in the midst of rebuilding a new one. For the time being I have been using a dell xps 420, q6600, 3gb ddr2 ram, 9800gtx. Ffs. Can't even play diablo 3 without lagging everywhere. Just bought 8gb ddr2 for a tenner and a rx570 that will eventually go into the new pc aswell as this for now and I'm pretty excited for them to arrive🤗
i pumped my q6600 to 3.5 ghz on water and its now paired with this card. It runs great. Its not my main pc tho. I also put one of these cards in an old server board with annoying dual low power supplies.
Awesome to know that a 10 y/o CPU can do alright with this card. I own a AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE CPU and I want to buy this card to give it more life and gaming power since I'm not planning on upgrading soon. Good video, keep up the good work.
I would be very interested to see this GPU paired with a Pentium G3258 or the newer Pentium G4400. I love your channel, I'm glad you're getting up there in the world.
Decided to renew my very old gaming PC for a friend of mine who really has no money for a gaming PC. It has the slightly more powerful Q8300, 8gb DDR2, and I put an R9-280 3GB in it, which is just a tad slower than the 1050ti. And an SSD as the boot drive. I have to say it's actually better than I expected, even in 2019! There is some bottleneck of course, but any modern game (except Apex Legends which doesn't run on old CPUs at all) is playable at respectable settings, and fps drops are not agressive at all. There are some of course, especially in titles like CS:GO and such where CPU performance is really noticeable due to the high framerates, but it's fine.
One thing to consider with Battlefield 1 is performance in the most intensive maps, because the 30fps~ at Ultra would probably result in significant frame drops once you play on the most intensive maps
My current PC build is a Q6600, GTX 750 Ti, 8GB 800Mhz RAM and its performs games to a decent standard and i got it in a prebuilt PC before I became more experienced with computers and PC gaming. If annoying is considering buying a Q6600 i would recommed if you are on a budget. Hope this helps anyone that me read this, Plus have a good day/night too to everyone! (:
Could you please show in the videos also the actual HW tested? I sometimes have the impression we are just seeing the same PC undeclocked in these videos. If that is too much trouble, them maybe once in a while, do a little clip with how the system looks like, with the components inside. Thanks
I'm currently on a Q6600 using the BSEL mod to boost it to 3.0Ghz without messing with overclocking. I've currently got 8GB of 800Mhz DDR2, a 240GB SSD and a GTX 750ti. I'm getting better framerates than I'm seeing in this video with my lower card, the SSD is probably why. I saw about 1.5x boost in my framerates from my old setup when I put an SSD in. New GTX 1050ti is going to be dropped in it soon and it'll be the ultimate DDR2 gaming PC !
Thanks for Testing it, what i dont like on th 10xx series Nvidia they need an Active VGA Adapter if you need VGA as Input, i will try the GTX 950 but realy Nice Video you save alot money with just upgrading GPU
I strongly recommend the Zotac's GTX 1050 TI 4 GB OC Edition. It's the best price/performance card from the 1050 series. Also very important to mention - remember that most of the Sockel 775 mainboards for quad core CPUs do neither support PCI Express 3.0 (which this GPU actually needs) nor DDR 3 RAM. It's like trying to drive a simple car with jet propulsion engines. There are however some newer models that do have both PCIe 3.0 and DDR3 support.
Is there any chance you could clean up the specs when you put them up on screen? Maybe put a colon between things like 'SLI' and 'No' and aligning them to the middle just makes it more difficult to read for some. Also some of the specs are mixed up in previous videos so proof watch your videos more too! Other than that I love the content :D
My first PC with more high end things, some years ago have core 2 duo e6600. Probably broken q6600. I got it with no problem to 3.6ghz. Its working to this day on this frequency at friend flat. Sorry for my english.
The Q6600 is my daily driver. The only issue with this budget build is the fact that it locks you into the LGA775 platform. Most motherboards are limited to 4GB of RAM, DDR2 at that. PCIe 2.0 if you're lucky. I would go for something on the LGA1156 side. The i3-5XX series are pretty good options, and so are the i5-7XX and i7-8XX series if you have a couple bucks extra.
My board is limited to 8GB DDR2 with PCIe 1.0. Q9550 @ 3.07GHz with a 1050 Ti. Plays most games pretty well. Only game I had any real trouble with is Hellblade, which I found to be utterly boring anyway.
You earned my sub, not bad, but have you done a video on a cheap i5 2400 PC on ebay for around 100$? I bought one and I would like to see how far you could go with it with possibly the 1050ti
Just built a 980 4GB and q6600 PC with 4x2gb ram, I have a i5-9600kf gtx 980 24gb build I main but I had extra parts laying around and I don't game these days as much mainly just play events and try updates and only play fallout 76, rust, Minecraft cyberpunk 2077, cs; go and fortnite
It should hold well for basic tasks, video streaming and light video edits with a faster SSD, gaming wise today it will lack performance in most titles only being played at 30-60 fps with certain settings, games like rouge company, Fortnite, cs; go, GTA 5, fora horizon 3 should all be fairly playable still with 100-200fps depending settings bigger demanding games it is pointless to build this as you could find an office PC with beefier specs and throw a decent GPU in and be better off but for basic games, like I said it will be a great bang for buck desktop, I used to game at 20fps on a laptop for year's until I built my first 4 core gt210 computer with 4gb ram and eventually i3-8th gen and gtx 770 4gb PC and it was a speed demon until I got power hungry and invested into rtx.
@@AshtonGodbout i ended up building it woth a gtx 770 2gb that i got almost free. It's fine for the games i play but my hdd is just at this point terrible(its 15 yrs old). When i upgreade to an ssd i should be fine
When playing online games like BattleField could you also test the FPS while the game is playing multiplayer? I know it's hard to test, but it'd help people understand more what the card can do under a lot of stress from intense action. I'd recommend playing 64 man operations, on close quarters maps to get the best results.
This CPU Amazing i also Have in My Elite HP PC with upgraded HDD to SSD and GTX9800 to GTX 950 on low Power Mode it also saves alot Energy and its Fast any Way . Good Job Intel for Long long Lasting Hardware !
i3 2100 can handle RX 460 or GTX 1050, even R9 380 or GTX 1050Ti, with RX 470, GTX 970 or GTX 1060 6GB would be best to use a larger resolution than 1080p (1440p for example).
Only get the 1050ti with the core 2 quad q6600 if you plan to upgrade your cpu in the future. Don't buy this thinking that you will be destroying the latest AAA titles with over 60 fps, because I noticed with doing some tests with my 560ti pared with core 2 quad and gtx 1050ti pared with core 2 quad and there is not much of a difference fps wise in games. But the gtx 1050ti will still allow you to watch 4k videos with no lag on youtube even pared with the q6600.
Q6600 is a beast. Used it and it will still game very well, especially if you overclock it. The bottleneck is real but if you don't care about it and all you need is 1080p ultra gaming with decent FPS on a very low budget, then this is a very good combo.
I wouldn't go q6600 when u can get pre built units with i5 2400s in them for around the 120 price tag on eBay. My old phenom ii set up died and that's what I upgraded to till Zen drops if performance is what that say it is. Love the tests with new and old hardware keep it up bro.
Ive been rocking the q6600 OC to 3.6 with the 1050ti on an gigabyte p45 with 4gb ram ( because 2 of the 4 ram slots are dead) for long time now. I can play any game that doesn't require SSSE4, on med/high settings, I can Max out gears 4,doom, and tomb raider.
You'll actually want a card that uses all 16 lanes of the pcie bus if your system is pcie 1.0/1.1. The reason being that many of those old boards only recognize a 16x graphics card or a 1x networking or sound card and nothing in between. I found out the hard way that 8x cards like the 1050 ti (or in my case the gt 730) are forced down to 1x in such a system. The gtx 750 ti is the right card for the job, as it uses all 16 lanes which those old boards expect.
Hello can i suggest someting to maybe make the videos better ? i will like to see you using other app that fraps one that show the ram of system, cpu usage, gpu usage etc. and the video game with lower configuration option . for example if its possible to run the game at stable 60fps in medium . i like your channel :) this is only my opinion. best regards, From Portugal
I have a LGA775 system and I stuck a Q8300 in it. I want to put a low profile GPU in it, but I don't want to spend more money than the system can reasonably take advantage of. The PCIe slot is a v1.0. Will that be a bottleneck if I put in something like a low profile GT 1030 or GT 710?
I literally found a q6600 system next to a dumpster awhile back. I upgrade it with 8gb of ddr 2 ram that i had around and I got a 1050 ti when my brother updated his video card. It was great when i found it back then with a gt 9500 but the 1050 ti makes it a dumpster Frankenstein monster lol. nearly completely free, I had to put a ssd and windows 10 on it which cost me less than 75 dollars.
I literally opened RUclips about to type in Q6600 + GTX 1050 Ti and this was at the top of the video list before I even typed anything in! Excellent.
Built my very first low budget gaming PC at low cost thanks to your videos, you're the man! 😉

RandomGaminginHD yeah, you are one of the very few youtubers that still shows love for old GPUs in the benchmarks. I have a HD7970 with a Intel i7-930 & 8gb ram right now and was wondering if the GTX1050ti would get me better fps on 1080p?
This was the best thing I've seen, well done, thanks!
plz compare rx460 and 1050 when paired with g4400..!
1050 wins.
Thanks to this video, my cousin needs to buy one thing in order to the gaming computer he wanted. Thank you, for finally making his mind up. Great job, mate!
What's your opinion on how the 1050ti's retail at £160 in the UK
+PrivateGaming101 bit of a cheek, but after a couple of weeks they should drop. They're just price hiking because they know there's hype around the cards. From what I've seen, ebuyer had some in stock for 135.99
Have seen used 970's going for that kind of price on E-Bay
RandomGaminginHD LOL in finland its impossible to get one under 180€
PrivateGaming101 For £10 more you can get a Reference RX 470.
trotman000 I know
Followed your advice from this vid! A friend of mine had an ANCIENT Dell Dimension 9200 from 2007 laying around! (Almost 10 years old!) Had a Core 2 Duo at first and Windows Vista and it barely ran. We upgraded the CPU to a Core 2 Quad Q6600 for just $15 on EBay, and with 8gb RAM (DDR2 sadly) and a new 1tb HDD with a fresh install of Windows 10, this PC was back in business. But, It's GeForce 7800LE wasn't going to play any modern games, so we got a brand new GTX 1050! Slapped it right in and worked without a problem! Now my friend is playing all his games at max settings and having a great time with a gaming PC constructed for under $300!!!
wasnt the q6600 a good overclocker ....couldnt you like overclock to 3.6 to 4.0ghz to improve framerates .....p.s i have the i3 4160 witch is close to the i3 u used and its ok not as good as the 8350 i was using before tho .....i wouldn't reccomend to anyone tbh 2cores is tragic .... only using it till i can afford 4770k in a month or so got this i3 machine for 100 quid
yeah. g0 q6600 was even better. i used to own one. ocing to 3.6ghz was pretty easy
I achive 3.6 ghz easily with my q6600 but after that my ddr2 ram doesn't go any further.
a moderate 25% overclock gives you around 10 frames, worth it definitely
i have been running my q6600 at 3ghz for the last 8 years. anytime i have ever tried to go higher my computer wont boot. i read about the huge overclocking that could be done on this cpu before i bought it but i must have gotten a weak one. i am pretty sure it is the g0 stepping.
u might be getting limited by your motherboard or ram. or you lost the silicon lotery
first why i gave a like and sub to this fellow wierd combination of new and old hardware and game in the background is the gta san andreas
OMFG! Best RUclipsr ♡
+Doggy Bhaw Bhaw! 👍
I took your advice and bought one Q6600 for around 10$ to go with my GTX1050. Honestly that CPU moved me from the stone age to ''average modernity''(prev I had Duo E3400). Now I'm planning to overclock it to see if I can get even better results.
which one is cheaper and would you recommended, the RX 460 or the gtx 1050? I'm gonna pair it with a q9650. thanks
+Uri Will 1050 is a bit better, and more power efficient. If the 460 is significantly cheaper where you live go with that, but if not, get the 1050 :)
Uri Will now if you asked 470 or 1050ti I'd say 470 but 1050ti for its price
Uri Will 1050 is about a 960 460 is about 750ti
is Rx 460 power efficient against 750 ti?
Ak47 yeah 750ti rx460 and 1050 all requires no psu plug in on gpu
I love this channel he does content that no one else does and he has a soothing soothing voice
What do you think of Pentium G4400 3.2 ghz? Is it better than Core 2 Quad Q6600?
Aria E. From mine Two personal rigs (One with g4400 other eith the Q6600), the G4400 is better.
Danilo Wadt
Thanks! How about pairing the gtx1050 with G4400, will it bottleneck hard?
G4400 will suffer when you play games that requires massive CPU resources. But if you want a PC with a better future, then yes, it's much better than the Q6600
Ardimo Harsa
Thank you.
I believe you could also OC a G4400 and give it a similar performance to the Intel i3 6100 BaseClock. Possibly reduce the barrier that is there for games that need more that 2 cores. Take this with a grain of salt. I could be wrong.
I've got this pairing and I'm gaming well with this set up! Great video.
how about pentium g4400??
is great, but is only Dual Core and some games will suffer from that, Witcher 3, Rise Of The Tomb Raider and Far Cry Primal would have troubles on a Dual Core since these games execute operations on multiple cores.
if you have the bigger budget for that go for it, but a 60$ cpu is still a far cry from a 15$ cpu.
Rubby Abi i3 6100 is the best budget dual core so go with that if you want better performance on games and in the future you can upgrade get an i5 skylake
Jose Saldana i3 6100 is not a Dual Core really, its a Quad Core with 2 virtual cores or hyper threading, is far superior than any Pentium G.
ks22 no sht lol doesn't change the fact that its still a dual core though
Pretty awesome value if you bought a LGA775/Q6600 system nearly TEN freaking years ago! Unbelievable longevity. You can even get these to clock a bit higher for even more fps. Thumbs up for this video.
how about an i3 540 paired with 1050 ti will it performed better than the Q6600
yes it will
does it mean that if i buy 1050 ti i can get decent framerate with decent setting and later should i upgrade to an i7
Avish AvgGamer
The most you should get for a 1050 TI is am i5. Anything else would be a waste of money for that card...
i am actually getting an i7 for free to $5 from computer junkyard (reason in my country people don't the actual value of used pc parts)
Avish AvgGamer
Nice. What generation i7 is it?
I'd hate to say it but I am very surprised by this combo. Definitely something budget or new gamers should look into. Once again, amazing video, Random! Really a channel made of gold!
! advice for you guys if you planing to buy used mob+cpu+ram combo gof or intel i series you can go for cheap used i5 2nd gen somthing like 2400 or 2500k its much bether then Q6600 and its apsolutly no bottleneck. Also you can buy used 750ti for like 50-60 bucks on internet and build a 200$ cheap gaming rig for 1080 gaming... With 120gb ssd. :)
great video, the other day i was thinking about this combo of CPU and gpu would be fun to see how well they work together
wtf q6600 2.5 ghz cost $850 at launch? i bought 4770k $420 at 2014
This was the first ever consumer grade quad core that is the reason of it's expense
yeag but q6600 was launched in 2007 ;)
Technology advanced pretty much in 7 years, ya know?
First ever was Core 2 Extreme QX6700 (rev. B3), from November 2006 (it was 999$) :)
Q6600 was just a cheaper model (with A LOT of OC headroom).
qx6700 is core 2 extreme, diferent one from core 2 quad but the price not much different, while i7 with i7 extreme very much price different
RX 460 is $100 and the GTX 1050 is $120 right?
Wait wait... 3-5% better... 20% more expensive.......... LOGIC! lets get the 1050 LOL!
Fanboys are so funny XD
But you see, people opt for gtx 1050 because it receives better and faster updates, and even more performance on AMD optimized games. Nvidia just has better reputation.
There is a very good chance that a RX 460 won't work because UEFI/Legacy bios issues and OEM's. I have Lenovo 2nd gen i3's that the RX cards don't work on. The gtx 1050 ti works fine on them.
Barack Smith Stop booting in legacy mode! If you have 2nd Gen I3 you absolutely have efi
Bruh what are u even doing in the pcmasterrace. Fanboys are so silly, go to console, we don’t want fanbois here!
It’s not anyone being a fanboy, it’s just they want the performance. AMD cards are cheap but you get what you pay for :/, and this is coming from a guy that loves AMD and Nvidia
Great video mate.
Love to see what old tech can do with modern gpus.
where the fuck are you going to find Q6600? xDD
sermerlin1 there's alot of it scattered in ebay
Jose Enaje yeah... I don't do Ebay.
Dude, Ebay has so many the issue is there are only like 20 motherboards on this processor that accepts 16gb of ram.
Which ram will become a really big issue when games the next set of games come out.
Matthew Murphy Until new consoles with 16 gigs of ram come out 8 gigs won't be a problem as long as you have 8 gigs vram and 8 gigs of system ram.
sermerlin1 That can be very incorrect.
I don't see a full GPU in a ps3, or ps4. They use methods to make them cheaper. For a PC this is different. We don't have access to the tech they use to "Optimize games".
thanks for the motherboard info in the description, im looking to upgrade my overall pc, but let the processor a bit longer, now i know a motherboard wich is compatible with it and has ddr3 ram
excellent video! There are so many out there thinking 775 socket intel family can't game a thing! I had E6600 then replaced by Q6600 and no have QX9650 @3.2Ghz oc and R9 280X oc and I play fallout 4 star wars battlefront battlefield 4 and call of duty black ops 3 with no problem at all! descent frame rates (over 40 average)
I'd suggest using a utility like CAM to show on display other things like CPU and GPU utilization, could be useful having more information up there for viewers to look at.
yeah this is a very good budget one, but if you have some extra money get a new CPU, this does bottleneck the card a bit. But great video !
Hello from Brazil mate, first i would like to say thank you for your work on low budget comparison videos, and second i would like to request a video on the core i7 980x LGA 1366 to see how it behave on modern games. Keep up the good work
NICE!! i just got done rebuilding my old rig which consists of a Q6600cpu, evga 680i sli mobo and a brand new evga gtx950 FTW card.
I have same setup with gtx 1050 ti
UPDATE: bad news......motherboard is dead. i get error code (--), it was a nice machine back in the day and i really wanted to revive it. i ended up getting an EVGA Z170 FTW and i'll start from there. looks like my 680i sli will be put on display going forward.
I'm actually living this hell at the minute, my pc has died and I'm in the midst of rebuilding a new one.
For the time being I have been using a dell xps 420, q6600, 3gb ddr2 ram, 9800gtx. Ffs. Can't even play diablo 3 without lagging everywhere.
Just bought 8gb ddr2 for a tenner and a rx570 that will eventually go into the new pc aswell as this for now and I'm pretty excited for them to arrive🤗
i pumped my q6600 to 3.5 ghz on water and its now paired with this card. It runs great. Its not my main pc tho. I also put one of these cards in an old server board with annoying dual low power supplies.
Love your videos, keep up the good work!
i have pc Q8400, because this video i can buy gtx 1050ti now, thanks for your video...
greating from Indonesia broo!! :-)
Awesome to know that a 10 y/o CPU can do alright with this card. I own a AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE CPU and I want to buy this card to give it more life and gaming power since I'm not planning on upgrading soon. Good video, keep up the good work.
Still running it?
I would be very interested to see this GPU paired with a Pentium G3258 or the newer Pentium G4400. I love your channel, I'm glad you're getting up there in the world.
Awesome video sir! Love your vids
+Ayan Mukherjee 👍 :)
amazing job as always m8 !
Wow, this is pretty awesome. It's tempting to add a 1050 or Ti to my old Quad Q9400 rig and gift it to a friend...
I have a core 2 quad Q9550, ordered a 1050ti OC edition zotac from amazon yesterday, arriving in 2 days 😎
Decided to renew my very old gaming PC for a friend of mine who really has no money for a gaming PC. It has the slightly more powerful Q8300, 8gb DDR2, and I put an R9-280 3GB in it, which is just a tad slower than the 1050ti. And an SSD as the boot drive.
I have to say it's actually better than I expected, even in 2019! There is some bottleneck of course, but any modern game (except Apex Legends which doesn't run on old CPUs at all) is playable at respectable settings, and fps drops are not agressive at all. There are some of course, especially in titles like CS:GO and such where CPU performance is really noticeable due to the high framerates, but it's fine.
One thing to consider with Battlefield 1 is performance in the most intensive maps, because the 30fps~ at Ultra would probably result in significant frame drops once you play on the most intensive maps
My current PC build is a Q6600, GTX 750 Ti, 8GB 800Mhz RAM and its performs games to a decent standard and i got it in a prebuilt PC before I became more experienced with computers and PC gaming. If annoying is considering buying a Q6600 i would recommed if you are on a budget.
Hope this helps anyone that me read this, Plus have a good day/night too to everyone! (:
I had Q6700 ,but upgraded it to x5460 ,that I oc to 4.0GHz. It all ran on air. Paired with 750Ti 2Gb edition. It was pretty sweet setup.
Dude, you deserve way more subscribers. You are amazing and keep up the great work!
Could you please show in the videos also the actual HW tested?
I sometimes have the impression we are just seeing the same PC undeclocked in these videos.
If that is too much trouble, them maybe once in a while, do a little clip with how the system looks like, with the components inside.
Thanks
i really enjoy your videos
+Rozero thanks :)
I'm currently on a Q6600 using the BSEL mod to boost it to 3.0Ghz without messing with overclocking. I've currently got 8GB of 800Mhz DDR2, a 240GB SSD and a GTX 750ti. I'm getting better framerates than I'm seeing in this video with my lower card, the SSD is probably why. I saw about 1.5x boost in my framerates from my old setup when I put an SSD in. New GTX 1050ti is going to be dropped in it soon and it'll be the ultimate DDR2 gaming PC !
Have almost exactlz the same...save for a gtx 550ti. Went wit the 1050...no regrets. What a great old cpu.
Thanks for Testing it, what i dont like on th 10xx series Nvidia they need an Active VGA Adapter if you need VGA as Input, i will try the GTX 950 but realy Nice Video you save alot money with just upgrading GPU
I strongly recommend the Zotac's GTX 1050 TI 4 GB OC Edition. It's the best price/performance card from the 1050 series. Also very important to mention - remember that most of the Sockel 775 mainboards for quad core CPUs do neither support PCI Express 3.0 (which this GPU actually needs) nor DDR 3 RAM. It's like trying to drive a simple car with jet propulsion engines. There are however some newer models that do have both PCIe 3.0 and DDR3 support.
Is there any chance you could clean up the specs when you put them up on screen? Maybe put a colon between things like 'SLI' and 'No' and aligning them to the middle just makes it more difficult to read for some. Also some of the specs are mixed up in previous videos so proof watch your videos more too! Other than that I love the content :D
My first PC with more high end things, some years ago have core 2 duo e6600. Probably broken q6600. I got it with no problem to 3.6ghz. Its working to this day on this frequency at friend flat. Sorry for my english.
The Q6600 is my daily driver. The only issue with this budget build is the fact that it locks you into the LGA775 platform. Most motherboards are limited to 4GB of RAM, DDR2 at that. PCIe 2.0 if you're lucky. I would go for something on the LGA1156 side. The i3-5XX series are pretty good options, and so are the i5-7XX and i7-8XX series if you have a couple bucks extra.
My board is limited to 8GB DDR2 with PCIe 1.0. Q9550 @ 3.07GHz with a 1050 Ti. Plays most games pretty well. Only game I had any real trouble with is Hellblade, which I found to be utterly boring anyway.
You earned my sub, not bad, but have you done a video on a cheap i5 2400 PC on ebay for around 100$? I bought one and I would like to see how far you could go with it with possibly the 1050ti
I have no idea how but that is the exact pc i am thinking of building
Just built a 980 4GB and q6600 PC with 4x2gb ram, I have a i5-9600kf gtx 980 24gb build I main but I had extra parts laying around and I don't game these days as much mainly just play events and try updates and only play fallout 76, rust, Minecraft cyberpunk 2077, cs; go and fortnite
It should hold well for basic tasks, video streaming and light video edits with a faster SSD, gaming wise today it will lack performance in most titles only being played at 30-60 fps with certain settings, games like rouge company, Fortnite, cs; go, GTA 5, fora horizon 3 should all be fairly playable still with 100-200fps depending settings bigger demanding games it is pointless to build this as you could find an office PC with beefier specs and throw a decent GPU in and be better off but for basic games, like I said it will be a great bang for buck desktop, I used to game at 20fps on a laptop for year's until I built my first 4 core gt210 computer with 4gb ram and eventually i3-8th gen and gtx 770 4gb PC and it was a speed demon until I got power hungry and invested into rtx.
@@AshtonGodbout i ended up building it woth a gtx 770 2gb that i got almost free. It's fine for the games i play but my hdd is just at this point terrible(its 15 yrs old). When i upgreade to an ssd i should be fine
Do not. Just dont that PC would suck
I currently am running this setup with Nvidia 2gb x4 sticks of ram runs extremely good!!
Me who play warzone with q6600 and gtx 960 and gets 40-70 frames on 720p low-med(mixed settings)
When playing online games like BattleField could you also test the FPS while the game is playing multiplayer? I know it's hard to test, but it'd help people understand more what the card can do under a lot of stress from intense action. I'd recommend playing 64 man operations, on close quarters maps to get the best results.
This CPU Amazing i also Have in My Elite HP PC with upgraded HDD to SSD and GTX9800 to GTX 950 on low Power Mode it also saves alot Energy and its Fast any Way . Good Job Intel for Long long Lasting Hardware !
I love your channel mate, could you do a i3 2100 comparison with the 1050 and the rx 460. Best Regards
i3 2100 can handle RX 460 or GTX 1050, even R9 380 or GTX 1050Ti, with RX 470, GTX 970 or GTX 1060 6GB would be best to use a larger resolution than 1080p (1440p for example).
still rocking a Q6600 in my main rig !! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thank you a lot for uploading this vedio
Only get the 1050ti with the core 2 quad q6600 if you plan to upgrade your cpu in the future. Don't buy this thinking that you will be destroying the latest AAA titles with over 60 fps, because I noticed with doing some tests with my 560ti pared with core 2 quad and gtx 1050ti pared with core 2 quad and there is not much of a difference fps wise in games. But the gtx 1050ti will still allow you to watch 4k videos with no lag on youtube even pared with the q6600.
Q6600 is a beast. Used it and it will still game very well, especially if you overclock it. The bottleneck is real but if you don't care about it and all you need is 1080p ultra gaming with decent FPS on a very low budget, then this is a very good combo.
Whould be awesome to see some BF1 Phenom II tests if you have access to those CPUs :)
I currently have a Q6600 overclocked to 3.2Ghz. Buying a GTX 1050TI on Black Friday.
The fidelity of San Andreas graphics is amazing. Still looks pretty good 10 years later
Read my mind. Best channel ever
I was looking for a PC configuration with cheap budget, this may save my wallet, I actually have a Core 2 CPU, thanks a lot!
Whoa new Battlefront map @2:21
Oh wait. That's just "Battlefield" 1 AKA Battlefront with bullets.
I wouldn't go q6600 when u can get pre built units with i5 2400s in them for around the 120 price tag on eBay. My old phenom ii set up died and that's what I upgraded to till Zen drops if performance is what that say it is. Love the tests with new and old hardware keep it up bro.
Ive been rocking the q6600 OC to 3.6 with the 1050ti on an gigabyte p45 with 4gb ram ( because 2 of the 4 ram slots are dead) for long time now. I can play any game that doesn't require SSSE4, on med/high settings, I can Max out gears 4,doom, and tomb raider.
Still using this CPU with GT 730, hoping to get GTX 1050 Ti soon :D
You'll actually want a card that uses all 16 lanes of the pcie bus if your system is pcie 1.0/1.1. The reason being that many of those old boards only recognize a 16x graphics card or a 1x networking or sound card and nothing in between. I found out the hard way that 8x cards like the 1050 ti (or in my case the gt 730) are forced down to 1x in such a system. The gtx 750 ti is the right card for the job, as it uses all 16 lanes which those old boards expect.
can still keep up? you mean can still kicks ass! i love the core 2 series
Thx man you realy saved me and I am going to save my money as well
Thanks for the video
Hello can i suggest someting to maybe make the videos better ? i will like to see you using other app that fraps one that show the ram of system, cpu usage, gpu usage etc. and the video game with lower configuration option . for example if its possible to run the game at stable 60fps in medium .
i like your channel :) this is only my opinion.
best regards,
From Portugal
Great video.
I have a LGA775 system and I stuck a Q8300 in it. I want to put a low profile GPU in it, but I don't want to spend more money than the system can reasonably take advantage of. The PCIe slot is a v1.0. Will that be a bottleneck if I put in something like a low profile GT 1030 or GT 710?
ayo im defo gettin this for my second pc
I literally found a q6600 system next to a dumpster awhile back. I upgrade it with 8gb of ddr 2 ram that i had around and I got a 1050 ti when my brother updated his video card. It was great when i found it back then with a gt 9500 but the 1050 ti makes it a dumpster Frankenstein monster lol. nearly completely free, I had to put a ssd and windows 10 on it which cost me less than 75 dollars.
Got AMD X6 1055T. Sick that I can run new games on it.
What do you think about Core 2 Quad + GTX 650 1gb?
