You can TECHNICALLY run just about any game on it. You, I believe at least need some sort of program to trick the games into thinking you are running off a quad core. Whether it is stable or not is beyond myself as personally I have never tried it. For example Far Cry 4 will not boot without a minimum quad core (Though it has been proven time and time again an i3 is plenty ).

I'm trying to find a list of games that will not run using the G3258.

 

I know some games require 4 cores to play, so I am looking for a list of those games.

7800X3D - MSI B650 MAG Tomahawk - 32GB 6000mhz CL30 - Gigabyte 3080 TI - 2TB NVME - 1000w PSU - ID Cooling 240mm AIO

Far Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed Unity.

 

Both had unnoficial patches developed by the community allowing you to play on the pentium, though. They are a bit hard to find, as ubisoft actively tries to take it down, but they do exist SOMEWHERE on the internet.

So far to my knowledge there's Far Cry 4 and Dragon Age Inquisition. Haven't had a chance to test more yet since I took apart my dual cores.

Forget Far Cry 4, Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty Black Ops III, not sure about new Star Wars.

Give me a boost.

Unity as well? Hadn't tried that one, and definitely makes sense. That probably means Syndicate won't run on a dual core either then.

I'm not 100% certain, but I remember hearing Unity had the same problem (as if it wasn't enough of them already....).

 

I didn't hear any complaints about Syndicate, though.

You can TECHNICALLY run just about any game on it. You, I believe at least need some sort of program to trick the games into thinking you are running off a quad core. Whether it is stable or not is beyond myself as personally I have never tried it. For example Far Cry 4 will not boot without a minimum quad core (Though it has been proven time and time again an i3 is plenty ).

I'll see if I can put the E8400 on the test bench tonight and give it a whirl to confirm.

(BTW, I tried it on a 3core APU. Loading screen goes like "Noooooooooope, u aint playin it, imma black u out forever!").

Here is the list so far. Looks like Ubisoft, EA, and Treyarch.

 

Far Cry 4
Assassin's Creed Unity
Dragon Age Inquisition
Call of Duty Black Ops 3

 

---------------

 

But you guys are saying most of them can be bypassed using something that makes the games think you're running 4 cores. Interesting, guess I'll have to Google that.

 

Edit:

I searched all 4 of those games, and people have made videos proving you can play the games on the G3258, so it seems they are all possible.

I can confirm DA:I runs fine on my Core2Duo.

Some Ubish*t games won't turn on, because you know, Ubish*t.

You got it to run? I couldn't get it to work at all on my E8400. It would start but the game was a slideshow. Maybe they patched it since then? It was quite a while ago.

2,53Ghz C2D. E7200 I believe, not sure. Runs fine with my GTX 580 at 1280x1024 on high settings, not sure what the FPS is. But surely playable. The loading times tho... 5minutes. #Frostbite
