>>55675772
sure

maybe. depends on what you'll run.

>>55675821

like GTA5 or FarCry. Im looking for above 30fps constant.

>>55675900
you'll be fine. Get the afterburner version tho.

>>55675772
Nigga the 460 is less than a month away, the 750 ti even loses to the 360 because of driver improvements

>>55676021

would there be any performance gains going to a 950 with my CPU? its only 40 dollars more. Also afterburner is the msi aftermarket version?

>>55676044
>would there be any performance gains going to a 950 with my CPU?

Nigga the 470 is less than a month away

Or there are 380s for around $150 now

>>55676039

yeah but thats still a long time. also with gamestream i could stream games to the living room or tablet. I dont think AMD has any streaming technology.

>>55676044
something like 15-20 fps difference. it's quite a lot, considering you're gonna run demanding games.

>>55676080
>gamestream
Isn't that only for the shield?

Otherwise, there's steam in home streaming

>>55676104

yeah it is also I dont think steam streaming is very cpu friendly

>>55676073
this. Get a r9 380, it blows away the 950, 750ti, and everything else in that price range

>>55676138
How often are you even going to stream if you can do it? Seems like you'd want a newer i3 at minimum, because the 380 is faster than a 960 even

"The basic requirements are a Wi-Fi router and a modern gaming PC with a GeForce® GTX™ 650 or higher desktop GPU. The detailed requirements are:

GPU:
Desktop: GeForce GTX 650 or higher desktop GPU
Notebook: NVIDIA Kepler™-based GeForce GTX 600M or higher notebook GPU
The full list of supported GTX GPUs for Notebook is: 880M, 870M, 860M, 850M, 780M, 770M, 765M, 680M, 675MX, 670MX, and 660M.

Routers: 802.11a/g router (minimum). 802.11n dual band router (recommended). Check out a list of NVIDIA GameStream™-ready routers.

"

Steam requirements
"Hardware:
We recommend a minimum of a quad-core CPU for the computer running the game. The client has more modest requirements, but should have a GPU that supports hardware accelerated H264 decoding. Any recent laptop or PC should meet the client requirements.

Network:
We recommend using a wired network for the best streaming experience. People have had some success with powerline networks and wireless N and AC networks with good signal, though your experience may vary.

Game Settings:
To improve your streaming experience, you can go into your game settings and lower your resolution and turn off vertical sync.

Steam Settings:
In the In-Home Streaming settings you can change a number of things that can affect your experience. You can change your preference for speed vs quality, limit the network bandwidth, and adjust the maximum capture resolution.?

>>55675772
In GPU bottlenecked games a q6600 is still decent enough to handle a 680/770

Keep SSAO as low as possible and clock the processor to 3.2Ghz minimum and you should be dandy with anything in the $150 range.

>>55676144
Yeah it does with a better cpu, nvidia still has the edge on the driver overhead

>>55675772
I got a gtx 950 for my q6600 a while back, and it plays GTA V at around 40fps. Assuming you Overclocked to 3ghz, a 750 Ti will do fine (and a further overclock will be even better)
Considering I found my desktop in the garbage bin at a restaurant, I'm surprised how well it is holding up.
>inb4 poorfag

>>55676211
Even with potential driver overhead it's literally 30% faster at base than the 950

>>55676185

got it i think i might wait until the GTX1050 which might be as powerful as a 970 considering the 1060 can beat a 980.

>>55676224

How much system ram do you have? I only have 4gb and hear that GTA5 can use upward over that.

>>55676225

More than 30% even especially with nvidia gimping, however it will also have lower lows

>>55676262
8gb ddr2, with GTA V open around 5gb was used.

>>55676243
If you're going to wait and save money the 4gb 480 is where you'd want to be, it's faster than the 1060 using DX12 and Vulkan which most games will be using in the future

Also on average the 1060 is just slightly behind the 980

There's basically no reason to go nvidia if you're spending $200 or less on your card, all the 9xx series cards lack A-sync and really fall behind with the newer APIs, not to mention they all have less performance compared to the AMD cards

>>55676292

thanks i think i might go for the rx480 but they are all out of stock so looks like just more waiting for benchmarks. also are aftermarket version of the 480 more expensive then the reference models?

>>55676412
Cost should be about the same, still no real info on release dates but we're seeing pictures of a lot of them

here's the nitro with an 8 pin
http://wccftech.com/sapphire-rx-480-nitro/

ASUS is supposed to launch one with an 8 pin and a 6 pin

>>55676412
You`re way better off doing that, but just for shits.

5350 is ~ core 2 duo performance. Reference material:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/7933/the-desktop-kabini-review-part-1-athlon-5350-am1/3

And the 7770 is overal a worse card than the 750ti. Pretty damn smooth gameplay, though. However, the 6950 is overall a better card, which you can buy for 60$ after a 20$ rebate.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131682

You`re still way the fuck better off going with the newer tech. But it burned some time fishing that bit up.

>>55675772

depending on the OC.

stock q6600 bottlenecked my gtx 460 pretty badly, and it's only a fraction of FAST compared to 750 ti

I've seen people pair AMD Athlon II X4 645 with a GTX 970...

>>55676224
Wait, I have the gigabyte OC one, how much can I overclock it? Because 3ghz looks overkill, unless you mean the CPU. I have my 750ti at +175 mhz or so

>>55675772
I'm typing this on a Q6000 overclocked to 3.2 Ghz. I have a EVGA GeForce GTX 660 SUPERCLOCKED 2048MB GDDR5, which is also overclocked. (I built this computer 8 years ago and it still runs great)

I run Skyrim on High at 4 samples antilaising and at 8 samples anisotropic filtering and I only get 40 fps, but that's because I use high res texture mods and ENB post processing .

>>55680098
you should turn antilaising off and anisotropic filtering off if your using ENB post processing. ENBseries has it's own antilaising and anisotropic filtering built into it and having both on will slow your fps way down.

>>55680181
Good to know. Thanks!

Don't buy a new graphics card dude. It's time to start saving up your money so that you can buy a Skylake.

>you've been waiting for a reason and Skylake is that reason

>>55675772
I sometimes regret not getting something better
But yes, it will work fine, I have the same setup

>>55676262
4GB is not enough any more

An 8 year processor is too fucking old.

>>55676262
minimum of 8gigs 16 is standard now.
>ddr4

>>55680444
It still performs better in games than the meme pentium or a shitty i3
The only problem isthat most old boards don't support SATA3, so your SSD will be limited

>>55680463
I just replaced my Q6600 with a Skylake

>>55680463
The Q6600 isn't a true quad core. It's two dual cores mashed together.

This creates a cache issue.

>>55675772
>year 2016
>buying a 750ti
Why?
There are literally more powerful gpus for the same price.

>>55680463
the Q6600 isn't a true quad core. Sure, it has 4 cores, but it is really just two dual cores mashed together. Keep in mind the cache is split between two pairs of cores, so two cores can't use the cache from the other two cores so you really only have 4mb usable cache for the processor without getting into cache swapping overhead.

This was fine, 8 years ago. It isn't anymore.

>>55680559
his 8 year old proc can use much more than that. buying a better GPU for that rig would be a waste because his CPU would bottleneck the card.

>>55680523
>The Q6600 isn't a true quad core. It's two dual cores mashed together.
We already discussed it. It's a fucking quadcore.

>>55680594
That's bullshit though. My 750Ti runs at 100% usage if I max the settings

>>55680635
>It's a fucking quadcore.

That has it's cache split in half.

>>55676144
R9 380 is almost twice the price of 750Ti. I wouldn't call it the same price range.

>>55680763
You're looking at the 8GB ones, dipshit

You seem upset. Perhaps you're emotionally attached to an antiquated piece of hardware and that emotional attachment is preventing you from performing the objective assessment necessary to conclude that your old ass gaming rig needs to be put out of it's misery.

This is such a great and in-depth comparison of how CPUs evolved over the last decade or so.

Check out the Q6600 and see how it fares compared to today's chips.

>>55681081
I think the more interesting is FX-8350. Why did they even bother releasing such a piece of shit? In some single-threaded benchmark, it fucking lost to 7 years older Core 2 Duo. Hell, it lost to Celeron G1820, MSRP $42.

Problem is good ddr2 ram is being price gouged at ridiculous prices like $200 for 8gb.

Was it really this expensive in America?
In Germany it was 230€ while it was still new.

>>55681956

Yeah when it first came out. I got mine for around 350usd

>>55676080
>gamestream i could stream games to the living room or tablet
By god you don't want to though
Latencies are still horrible, no matter what the Nvidia apologists try to say. There's a reason why their Shield isn't selling too well.

That's what I'm running.

>>55675772
Mine worked fine with my old quad core Phenom II.

>>55675772
>Will a 750ti work well with an oc Q6600?
One of the best cards you can get for the q6600 imo.
Don't get amd because of the CPU overhead.
OC that Q6600 if you havent already. Get a 212 EVO for 25 bucks and you should put that thing up to 3Ghz no problem.

>>55681643
That's because 4GB DDR2 RAM was almost non existent. It's probably cheaper to get 4 x 2GB DDR2 modules assuming your motherboard has four slots.

>>55680594
>buying a better GPU for that rig would be a waste
Tossing your GPU in the garbage when you upgrade your CPU/Mobo/RAM would be a waste too. Ideally he should upgrade that first, but there's nothing wrong with sticking a newer card in old hardware.

>>55680523
What about the q8200? It has hyper threading and my never 2400 dont, but is it a true quad core??

q6600 is fucking garbage dude, no one should ever use it in a modern day "budget" build. even a mid range amd cpu like an fx 6300 is miles better.

>>55676262
8gb of ram is dirt cheap. no excuse at all for having less.

most games can use close to 4gb and then you have your system taking up some, so 4gb is not enough. it will slow you down.

higher speed ram also boosts minimum performance in games by a small factor. (1-5 frames per mhz bracker) buy the fastest speed you can afford and it will last you till the standards change.

>>55675772
q6600 @ 3.4 ghz with ddr3, SSD, 6950 here.

Will run most things, certainly on medium. Atilla, Fallout 4 and Crysis 3 bend it over and are unplayable. But those games bend over most modern non-sli machines.

>tfw fallout 4 is bottled keked by ddr3 @ 1333 rather than raw cpu horsepower

It is a strange feel.

>>55675772
yes, thats my exact setup right now

>>55686659
This, I did a Q6600 budget build in Jan 2014, and it was great then, but it's too old for a new build in 2016, you will bottleneck things.

http://i.4cdn.org/g/1469136033410.png

>>55689059

does the graphics card ever hit near 100% usage?

>>55675772
Spend the money on a new comp. That q6600 is dam slow

>>55689243

im not playing any demanding games like BO3 or the Division. Mostly just Skyrim CSGO and a few others. The only game im concerned about is GTA5 which could get alot of lag.

>>55689218
I'm using an HD7750, a lesser card, and GTA V only hits 40 percent GPU usage.

>>55689357

holy kek that CPU bottleneck must be insane for the 750ti. Maybe im better going off with a 740gt but im scared that it would bottleneck in some GPU intensive game

>>55689408
It's not so bad in the older games I play that aren't huge open world games, the GPU will easily get slammed graphically, GTA V is just so heavy.

>>55689472

are those graphics set to low or is it AA? I think that in dx11 AA is processed by the cpu too.

>>55689521
Everything was on default with AA off in 720p

>>55675772
Only thing I haven't been able to play above a consant 30 FPS on at least Medium settings has been DOOM, which is a piece of shit anyway.

You'll be fine.

>>55689564

just check the min specs on steam. It says an i5 is required to play. this is why companies should hire people who can optimize a game properly.

>>55689656
A lot of games say that, and yet still run fine and don't bottleneck my Q9550 with no OC. Minimum system requirements are a meme, 95% of the time.

>>55689472
It`s obviously the CPU getting slammed. GPU load is only 43% in that image.

Was planning to get a new gpu also.
Talking with various people all suggested that I should wait for the new 460. I got a Q8400 stock 4gb ddr2. Should I wait or get an ilder gpu cause the bottleneck would be really bad?

>>55690296
I'm bottlenecked like a bitch on my Q6600, which is faster than a Q8200, best thing would be to save some dollars, and build a 2600k rig on the cheap, it's not terrible old technology and it won't bottleneck it so hard. I love Core 2 chips, but we are hitting a wall with how fast our GPUs can be.

>>55680098
You may get 40FPS spikes, but it's impossible you average 40FPS with those settings

Does anyone know if ill gain a performance boost from a 750ti to a 950 on the q6600?

>>55691418
If the game isn't CPU intensive, the cpu will get a performance boost, but under something like GTA V where the game alone slams out the CPU, it doesn't matter how fast your card is, you're not going to see an fps increase.

>>55691487

okay what about gpu sided games like farcry 3/4? is there any sort of benchmarks with the quad on this type of setup??

>>55691536
the guy in this video has a Q8300 and he claims the cpu is bottlenecking the card.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB3qnl7Tiyg

>>55691536
You may get a 5-10fps increase, more if you oc, but if you have a 750ti already and you oc it to the max it'll be just as fine.

If a game is not cpu intensive the q6600 is more than enough, but if a game is cpu intensive, the q6600 shows its age.

>>55691579

definitely doesn't look like the cpu is the problem when the gpu is hitting 99%

>>55691603
Oh shit, nvm, the guy in the video must not really understand bottlenecking if he's hitting 99% usage with fraps recording the game.

>>55691584

yeah im deciding on which one to get. the 950 is around 150 dollar price range and the 750ti can be bought for 95 bucks.

>>55691624

its not fraps he stated he was using the nvidia shadowplay.

>>55691625
If you can get the 750ti for 95 bucks and you can't wait, then get that offer.
Otherwise it might be better to wait for the RX 460.

>>55691658

if i have to wait that long i might as well get the 1050 if it falls into the same price range of around 150 or less.

>>55691722
>1050
Shit anon, that's a lot of money to be dumping into an old platform, get a sandy bridge or newer motherboard, and a cheaper gpu, then you'll see a boost.

>>55691835

yeah im thinking of maybe buying either a rx480 or 1060 and then upgrading next year when ZEN arrives.

>>55675900
good fucking luck

>>55689472
>V
>Heavy
>K.

>>55675900
Lol no, those are cpu intensive games

>>55689656
>people should optimize for my 7 years old hardware !
>n-n-new hardware is just a meme anyway !

>>55693761
That's what I thought what I read that, like what more do you want out of a 7yo PC. I use old core 2s but I know it's old shit.

>>55693761
Honestly I just think System Requirements are a meme because on my old C2Q shitbox with a processor from 2009 and a budget video card I scored off Craigslist for $50 I can run every modern game. You don't really need an i5 for any game right now, but they tell you they do to sell units anyway.

>>55693910
What resolution and detail though?

>>55689472
Yes it can run a modern game on low to medium, but even so you're gonna run into a bottleneck at the CPU stage, these things were great, are still great for extreme budget gaming, but they're no replacement for a modern cheap as >>55689472 showed.

Medium/High, @ 1600x1200, or on games allowing (basically the ones that don't have an always centered camera) 3200x1200 in span mode. My framerates are in the 45-60 range on a lot of modern games, which is more than good enough for a computer I haven't spent money on in a while.

I'd probably have some issues going above 720P, but that's not because of CPU bottleneck.

On the card, that is.

there isn't much reason to get a 750ti when a gtx 950 doesn't cost more and provides considerable improvement in performance

but the more pressing issue is the core 2. i mean, dude what are you even doing. you need a quad core

I actually bought this sometime last year because my stock fan started vibrating loudly under heavy load. Well worth $12 ($10 now) to decrease your temps to cool and comfy levels.

This was as high as I could get it to go after a lengthy stress test w/ that cooler, and it comes with MX2 preapplied so I didn't even have to fuck with thermal paste.
