I’m still using an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 (OC 3.6GHz) on a Gigabyte P35 motherboard, with 4x2GB DDR2 800MHz RAM, and a Radeon RX 580 4GB for my daily needs.

Lmao almost the same specs as my old PC, from like 2009/2010 almost unchanged since then, just replaced the GPU's during the years, it served me pretty well up until like 2020 or something, I used to be able to run everything at decent settings. Now I just bring it for occasional LAN parties, I'm still surprised how well it runs some more modern games (CS2, SS4, DL2, System Shock Reboot...)

GTA 5 should not be running that poorly on your PC. The minimum requirement CPU for that game is the Q6600.

Gta 5 did not like ddr2, get ddr3 kit will perform slightly better. However modern game are mostly require on die memory controller to reduce latency and of die controller like in core 2 era are generally off the contest.

dont get manipulate by gimmick marketers dude.. well this is ur opinion , every one has their own opinion ..even our eyes are only capable to see 60 fps and c2quad are perfectly fine to pair it with rx 580 to tum modern games on 60 or 60+ fps... 200 500 1000 fps are all bullsh*t, even some benchmarks are faking 200/300fps on newer gens to grab the buyers and world is 40%full of fools.do urself a thing, get two PCs, one of a newer generation and one with Core 2 Quad. Make sure that the Core 2 Quad gives 60fps and the newer generation gives 100+ fps. Then hide the fps and watch, it will be difficult to tell which video is at 100 fps and which is at 60 fps.”@@ALPHABYTE1994

Hello! It's nice to know how this processor feels at the moment. I thought about building the ultimate platform on this processor and using it)) I think such processors already need to be overclocked, if you have the opportunity to take a gaming board with DDR3 and also have good cooling, then you can overclock it to 5 GHz)) If you can find this kit, it will be great, the games will run faster and there will be a cool video!)

13:28 you've run out of RAM, over 7.8GB of 8GB total. Most likely system is swapping to HDD/SSD like crazy to prevent total freeze and/or BSOD. Not to mention, you were already at the edge with 7.1GB used at the beginning or when switching to dx10. Some of the hiccups might have been caused by that. 100% cpu utilization and running out of RAM is not a good combo for playing :D Also, some games will not work, because they require some CPU Extensions which this procesor doesn't have...

The harpertown xeons which were based on the same 45nm lithography and 12mb cache went up to 3.4Ghz such as the x5492 on a 1600Mhz fsb, so I don't get why the Q9650 desktop quads topped out at 3ghz, even the highest dual core the E8600 went to 3.33ghz, I guess they just didn't want them to be competitive with the next cpu series, there's no quad on the LGA 775 platfom above 3ghz, you might as well just take a Q6600 and up the bus speed from 266 to 333 for an easy (and cheap) 3ghz overclock.

I still run an old HP DC7900 (GT730 DDR5 GPU) with Linux. Its dual core E8300 is a bit slow for Ubuntu 22.04. So would this quad core chip give it noticeably more grunt?
@Windowsfan1003 ай бұрын
For sure. Even Windows 10 will feel usable again (provided you got at least 4 gigs of RAM and an SSD already). Keep in mind, the E8300 is basically half a Q9550. The Q9550 can decode 1080p60 youtube videos without dropping frames on my system after everything has loaded in. Though I'd still recommend switching to Xfce or MATE on such old hardware for a much better experience. GNOME is probably the heaviest desktop environment on Linux.
