RandomGaminginHD already had the same build as urs but paired with a r7 250..lately been thinking to sell off this mobo set for a g4400+ gtx 1050,can u do some sets of benches for this upcoming build?
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
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.
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. :)
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.
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.
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!
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?
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!
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.
+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
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.
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.
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.
! 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. :)
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!!!
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
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".
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
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
What CPU cooler did you use for the CPU and what were the temps? I want to buy a q9550 (a little bit faster and less power hungry than the q6600) for my friend, and I was wondering if the stock cooler that came with his e7500 would be fine.
I have an i5-3350p and an GTX 660 which were bought on the release, do I need to upgrade my GPU? So far, I am quite happy with the card and didn't let me down on even AAA games. Idk, my question is that is it worth upgrading to a 1050 or and RX 460 or even 470?
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.
@RandomGamingHD Would your recommendation of a 1050 over a 1050ti change if I have a Q6950 instead of a @6600? I'm trying to figure out how much a Q6950 would bottleneck a 1050ti.
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.
Looking to pick up the same motherboard and 8GB of RAM, just been struggling with CPU and GPU to pair together. How would a Core2Quad Q8400 and a GTX 750 ti get on with simulators like Train Simulator etc? I get about 20 fps on a laptop running an AMD A8 APU with R5 Graphics, would the Q8400 AND 750 ti be an upgrade?
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.
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)
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
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?
which card do you recomend me? im thinking in get a xeon e5460 proc, and mod the MB so i can get ddr3 ram (6 gb enough?)... which card can do the job well and isn't so expensive?
i have a question because a q6600 is the oldest and the q9650 is newer so is the q9650 alot faster than the q6600 because ive got my q6600 at 3.1ghz oced and runs amazing with most games but wondering if i should upgrade to a q9650 and oc that to about 3.5ghz?
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
+RandomGaminginHD I know this video is kinda old but what do you think about a Q9550 + GTX 1050 Ti? I'm with a GTX 650 1GB now and it's bottlenecking my CPU, I wanna upgrade and a couple of friends suggested the 1050 Ti and the 960 so I can't decide.. please reply and let me know what to do.. Thanks in advance.
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🤗
Are u sure will this motherboard will fit with the gtx 1050?? Because i ask someone who sale this motherboard on ebay and he says probably no Please reply
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
Got a quick question in performance which cpu processor is faster. The qx6700 core duo extreme or the q6600 bc so far when researching haven't found any sources that compare these processors.
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.
Younger brother has a e5800 Pentium been considering upgrading his cpu to this same cpu but with a 1030 instead of a 1050 because he doesn't have the most of room in the case, think the stock psu would be enough?
i have a core 2 quad q6600 and gtx 650 so im thinking about getting me a 1050ti. Not quite sure whether a normal 1050 would be enough for my games like Xcom 2, Dota 2, Company of Heroes 2, GTA V and maybe Mass Effect Andromeda. I dont need every game at maxium settings tho. Medium - High would be enough. Any Tips ? :P
I'm still using a QX 9770 paired with a Zotac GTX 670 card and 8GB of OCZ Reaper DDR2-1200 Memory. My CPU has been OC to 3.6Ghz for years now. Would it make sense to add a 1050ti card to get better 1080P gaming on this system. Would there be a bottleneck from this cpu?
Yesterday I bought a Q6600 for my brother (this was an upgrade from an E6400). Now I want to gather some money to buy a 1050 / 800Mhz DDR2 RAM 8GB and 1050TI. What power suply do you recommend for 1050 / 1050TI and Q6600.
Thank you for your informative video sir. Is it possible to run a 1050 Ti on a q6700 core2quad 4 GB ram with a 300W PSU? Is it safe? Thank you in advance and keep it up
Great video! I'm researching to buy my 1st video card. I was really thinking about getting the 750ti but now thinking about the 1050ti or the 1060. I want something that will make GTA 5 look better than my PS4. My processor is a i7 950 quad core hyperthreded 8 core with 12gb ram triple channel any advice would help.
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
thank you for your videos! l build my first pc i3 4160 rx 460 2gb sapphire ram 8gb. Will it be good in next 2 years for 1080p gaming on medium settings with 50-60fps ?
The 460 is worse than a 270 (2013). I bought a new R9 270 last year for $90. Its pretty good for 1080p, but its not good enough for all the games (everything I've ran though has done max settings). The 460 is great for low power consumption and a great price/performance ratio for playing less demanding games, but its already a weak entry GPU, it won't play all of the games great for 2 years, but for $75-90, its not bad. Its way cheaper than a console! If you want it to last 2 years, go with a 1070, or maybe as low as a RX 480 (but don't, read on). To point out, the $380 1070 beat the Titan X at $1000 (released last year). That's how fast GPU's get improved. Last year's most powerful card is now a basic medium-high end card. That's just amazing. But instead of wasting an extra $300 on a 1070, just keep the money and use it next year in an upgrade. That would get you through 4 years total if you keep buying $100 cards (plus selling them every year should get you through 6 years). By then, that 4th or 6th year newer card will be dominating the long forgotten 1070 (think GTX 600 series from 4 years ago, its pretty obsolete). Unless you are playing very demanding games, you probably made a wise choice not spending a lot of money on a GPU, especially since those should be updates so often. For other people, the RX 480 at $180-$200 or the GTX 1060 at $180 (current lowest price, don't waste money on higher clocked reference cards, they most will hit roughly the same overclocked speed). These might last 2 years, but that depends on how many FPS you want. I would buy the cheapest version of the card, and I wouldn't spend even $20 to get double the Vram, it will be obsolete by the time it needs that much.
Jake Garrett yeah..im still rockijg my r7 250 with most games in low 1080p..gonna upgrade to a gtx 1060 3gb which im confident can cling on to most games in high 1080p till nxt year and 2018..will be upgrading again once the 1*60 series in 2018/19 be able to beat the titanxPascal
Does your motherboard have pci-e slot ver 3.0 or 2.0 or 1.1 or 1.0. I want to buy this card but i have got q6600 and g41m-p33 combo with pci-e slot 1.0
Hey :) I have a AMD Quad Core A8-7600 3.1 GHz processor, 12 GB of RAM DDR3 (yes I know 8 is recommended but this pc came with extra 4gig ddr3 stick), and want to combine it with the Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050. What will my FPS be? And I got 450 Watt power supply right now, is that enough? I have been struggling with this a few weeks now, please help me :) Kindest regards, Diederik
@RandomGamingHD is it bad or that I bought a rx 460? I have a Xeon x5460 which is like this CPU. But I can't return it and the 1050ti is more expensive. Did I make a bad choice? Please realond

FaZe Autism if it works with a q6600 it works with a g4400
Chris Thesav That doesn't tell us if it performs better though.
***** it does newer architecture
I've got this pairing and I'm gaming well with this set up! Great video.
best youtuber ever love u bro u a really good man ever love u love u love u :D
+Mr.NightMare haha thank you
Ohhh get a room you two!
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?
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!
plz compare rx460 and 1050 when paired with g4400..!
1050 wins.
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.
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
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 love this channel he does content that no one else does and he has a soothing soothing voice
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
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.
OMFG! Best RUclipsr ♡
+Doggy Bhaw Bhaw! 👍
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
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 $5 from computer junkyard (reason in my country people don't the actual value of used pc parts)
Avish AvgGamer
Nice. What generation i7 is it?
first why i gave a like and sub to this fellow wierd combination of new and old hardware and game in the background is the gta san andreas
! advice for you guys if you planing to buy used mob+cpu+ram combo gof or intel i series you can go for cheap used i5 2nd gen somthing like 2400 or 2500k its much bether then Q6600 and its apsolutly no bottleneck. Also you can buy used 750ti for like 50-60 bucks on internet and build a 200$ cheap gaming rig for 1080 gaming... With 120gb ssd. :)
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 $300!!!
how about pentium g4400??
is great, but is only Dual Core and some games will suffer from that, Witcher 3, Rise Of The Tomb Raider and Far Cry Primal would have troubles on a Dual Core since these games execute operations on multiple cores.
if you have the bigger budget for that go for it, but a 60$ 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
Great video mate.
Love to see what old tech can do with modern gpus.
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
Love your videos, keep up the good work!
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
I cant believe this popped up on my recommended. Oh how so much has changed 😂
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".
amazing job as always m8 !
Dude, you deserve way more subscribers. You are amazing and keep up the great work!
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
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
What CPU cooler did you use for the CPU and what were the temps? I want to buy a q9550 (a little bit faster and less power hungry than the q6600) for my friend, and I was wondering if the stock cooler that came with his e7500 would be fine.
I have an i5-3350p and an GTX 660 which were bought on the release, do I need to upgrade my GPU? So far, I am quite happy with the card and didn't let me down on even AAA games. Idk, my question is that is it worth upgrading to a 1050 or and RX 460 or even 470?
Awesome video sir! Love your vids
+Ayan Mukherjee 👍 :)
would this setup run Ba
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?
@RandomGamingHD Would your recommendation of a 1050 over a 1050ti change if I have a Q6950 instead of a @6600? I'm trying to figure out how much a Q6950 would bottleneck a 1050ti.
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.
Looking to pick up the same motherboard and 8GB of RAM, just been struggling with CPU and GPU to pair together. How would a Core2Quad Q8400 and a GTX 750 ti get on with simulators like Train Simulator etc? I get about 20 fps on a laptop running an AMD A8 APU with R5 Graphics, would the Q8400 AND 750 ti be an upgrade?
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.
mate, could you tell me whether a FX4300 is a good match for GTX 1050 Ti as compared to an i3 4150?
5 years later, and a used 1050ti alone costs $200 :)
excellent video! There are so many out there thinking 775 socket intel family can't game a thing! I had E6600 then replaced by Q6600 and no have QX9650 @3.2Ghz oc and R9 280X oc and I play fallout 4 star wars battlefront battlefield 4 and call of duty black ops 3 with no problem at all! descent frame rates (over 40 average)
Hey man, is g3260 better than q6600 cpu? and how many more fps could i get in games like gta 5, fallout 4, with same settings in your video?
Is there any chance you could clean up the specs when you put them up on screen? Maybe put a colon between things like 'SLI' and 'No' and aligning them to the middle just makes it more difficult to read for some. Also some of the specs are mixed up in previous videos so proof watch your videos more too! Other than that I love the content :D
I have a LGA775 system and I stuck a Q8300 in it. I want to put a low profile GPU in it, but I don't want to spend more money than the system can reasonably take advantage of. The PCIe slot is a v1.0. Will that be a bottleneck if I put in something like a low profile GT 1030 or GT 710?
which card do you recomend me? im thinking in get a xeon e5460 proc, and mod the MB so i can get ddr3 ram (6 gb enough?)... which card can do the job well and isn't so expensive?
Thank you a lot for uploading this vedio
i have a question because a q6600 is the oldest and the q9650 is newer so is the q9650 alot faster than the q6600 because ive got my q6600 at 3.1ghz oced and runs amazing with most games but wondering if i should upgrade to a q9650 and oc that to about 3.5ghz?
You earned my sub, not bad, but have you done a video on a cheap i5 2400 PC on ebay for around 100$? I bought one and I would like to see how far you could go with it with possibly the 1050ti
What do you think about pairing it with a Xeon E5450 (server twin of Q9650) and 6GB ram?
thanks for the answer :)
Which cpu do you think is better? Core i5 650 3.20ghz or Core 2 Quad Q6600? Thanks
+RandomGaminginHD I know this video is kinda old but what do you think about a Q9550 + GTX 1050 Ti? I'm with a GTX 650 1GB now and it's bottlenecking my CPU, I wanna upgrade and a couple of friends suggested the 1050 Ti and the 960 so I can't decide.. please reply and let me know what to do.. Thanks in advance.
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🤗
Hello! Do you think that pairing 1050ti with my old Athlon x2 64 5200+ would give my PC a boost?
Are u sure will this motherboard will fit with the gtx 1050??
Because i ask someone who sale this motherboard on ebay and he says probably no
Please reply
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
Got a quick question in performance which cpu processor is faster. The qx6700 core duo extreme or the q6600 bc so far when researching haven't found any sources that compare these processors.
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.
Younger brother has a e5800 Pentium been considering upgrading his cpu to this same cpu but with a 1030 instead of a 1050 because he doesn't have the most of room in the case, think the stock psu would be enough?
i have a core 2 quad q6600 and gtx 650 so im thinking about getting me a 1050ti. Not quite sure whether a normal 1050 would be enough for my games like Xcom 2, Dota 2, Company of Heroes 2, GTA V and maybe Mass Effect Andromeda. I dont need every game at maxium settings tho. Medium - High would be enough.
Any Tips ? :P
hi, I have a core 2 duo e8400 and I am buying the 1050ti, would you recommend upgrading to the q6600?
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 !
Could you compare this to an RX460 card or maybe a normal non ti 1050 to see if the frames are the same and if the price to performance is better?
i really enjoy your videos
+Rozero thanks :)
I'm still using a QX 9770 paired with a Zotac GTX 670 card and 8GB of OCZ Reaper DDR2-1200 Memory. My CPU has been OC to 3.6Ghz for years now. Would it make sense to add a 1050ti card to get better 1080P gaming on this system. Would there be a bottleneck from this cpu?
Love your channel brother, keep up the great work!
+Lone Wolf thanks man!
what do you think would be better with an i7 870, this card or a 750ti?
Is the Core 2 Quad Q6600 better than the Core 2 Quad Q9650? Or is the Q9650 (since the best processor for my my motherboard only supports Q9650)
What do you think about Core 2 Quad + GTX 650 1gb?
Yesterday I bought a Q6600 for my brother (this was an upgrade from an E6400). Now I want to gather some money to buy a 1050 / 800Mhz DDR2 RAM 8GB and 1050TI. What power suply do you recommend for 1050 / 1050TI and Q6600.
I have a Q6600 @3,6GHz and a MSI GTX 1050 Ti OC 4GB but I don't get stable 35+ fps. What are your settings?
Thank you for your informative video sir. Is it possible to run a 1050 Ti on a q6700 core2quad 4 GB ram with a 300W PSU? Is it safe? Thank you in advance and keep it up
i have pc Q8400, because this video i can buy gtx 1050ti now, thanks for your video...
greating from Indonesia broo!! :-)
Great video! I'm researching to buy my 1st video card. I was really thinking about getting the 750ti but now thinking about the 1050ti or the 1060. I want something that will make GTA 5 look better than my PS4. My processor is a i7 950 quad core hyperthreded 8 core with 12gb ram triple channel any advice would help.
Is it worth overclocking the q6600 with the stock intel cooler? If so, what clock?
Respectively, how would you get 60 fps with this cpu and paired with which card? Poor man's 45fps meh.
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
thank you for your videos!
l build my first pc i3 4160 rx 460 2gb sapphire ram 8gb.
Will it be good in next 2 years for 1080p gaming on medium settings with 50-60fps ?
I think you'll be playing on ultra settings
Crackhead jack lol no
Phil Spencer tf you talking about? of course he can.
The 460 is worse than a 270 (2013). I bought a new R9 270 last year for $90. Its pretty good for 1080p, but its not good enough for all the games (everything I've ran though has done max settings). The 460 is great for low power consumption and a great price/performance ratio for playing less demanding games, but its already a weak entry GPU, it won't play all of the games great for 2 years, but for $75-90, its not bad. Its way cheaper than a console!
If you want it to last 2 years, go with a 1070, or maybe as low as a RX 480 (but don't, read on). To point out, the $380 1070 beat the Titan X at $1000 (released last year). That's how fast GPU's get improved. Last year's most powerful card is now a basic medium-high end card. That's just amazing. But instead of wasting an extra $300 on a 1070, just keep the money and use it next year in an upgrade. That would get you through 4 years total if you keep buying $100 cards (plus selling them every year should get you through 6 years). By then, that 4th or 6th year newer card will be dominating the long forgotten 1070 (think GTX 600 series from 4 years ago, its pretty obsolete).
Unless you are playing very demanding games, you probably made a wise choice not spending a lot of money on a GPU, especially since those should be updates so often. For other people, the RX 480 at $180-$200 or the GTX 1060 at $180 (current lowest price, don't waste money on higher clocked reference cards, they most will hit roughly the same overclocked speed). These might last 2 years, but that depends on how many FPS you want. I would buy the cheapest version of the card, and I wouldn't spend even $20 to get double the Vram, it will be obsolete by the time it needs that much.
Jake Garrett yeah..im still rockijg my r7 250 with most games in low 1080p..gonna upgrade to a gtx 1060 3gb which im confident can cling on to most games in high 1080p till nxt year and 2018..will be upgrading again once the 1*60 series in 2018/19 be able to beat the titanxPascal
Does your motherboard have pci-e slot ver 3.0 or 2.0 or 1.1 or 1.0. I want to buy this card but i have got q6600 and g41m-p33 combo with pci-e slot 1.0
srry for bumping old video,but would a Q9550 perform better in gaming and in general?
Hey :)
I have a AMD Quad Core A8-7600 3.1 GHz processor, 12 GB of RAM DDR3 (yes I know 8 is recommended but this pc came with extra 4gig ddr3 stick), and want to combine it with the Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050.
What will my FPS be? And I got 450 Watt power supply right now, is that enough?
I have been struggling with this a few weeks now, please help me :)
Kindest regards,
Diederik
Thanks for the video
@RandomGamingHD is it bad or that I bought a rx 460? I have a Xeon x5460 which is like this CPU. But I can't return it and the 1050ti is more expensive. Did I make a bad choice? Please realond
It's that processor block FPS, or graphics card can't do more FPS? If i decrease graphics settings i would get better FPS?
question you pair the 1050ti with a q9550 since it runs on the 45nm process instead of the 65 nm process
Is Q9400 + GTX 1050 Ti good for Fallout 4 and GTA 5 on high/ultra presets?
