Luke is love. Luke is life.

Again, I bring up the possible issue of bottleneck.

No clue what'll happen there. 

But we'll see what happens. 

I'm in the edge to see this shit built and benchmarked. 

I <3 LGA 775 systems. I have a Q8300 sitting around THAT NEEDS TO BE USED

Eric S. Raymond used an E6600 from 2005 until 12/30/14 or open source software creation. Raw data computations in excess of 18GB each. Core 2 Duos still have tons of life left, my friend.

I had e8400 with my 460GTX and it bottlenecked her real hard in games.

A q9xxx series or i3 is the rock bottom minimum for a card like 290 to not be hold back severly.

Nope, Almost everything is blocked. Even finding a benchmark is hard. Our admin is not a nice person..

 

Time to get a  3G usb stick and use that instead of their internet. Unless blocks are present on the machine itself, well then... Live linux or windows to Go time :)

So they're neck-on neck on the CPU and RAM.... but based on the parts, Luke has that boost with dat R9 290

Not necessarily the CPU or RAM. Linus has 8GB and Luke has 4GB. Luke has an E8400 and Linus with the Q6600. In games that take huge advantage of quad cores such as the tomb raider linus will definitely have an edge, but if the E8400 doesn't bottleneck (IF it doesn't, not sure if it will or not) Jesus that R9 290 will demolish. But in Luke's case, his CPU is the limiting factor. 

But I gotta give the LGA 775 platform credit. I had an E5300 play Saints Row The Third at 1080p getting 35fps with a Firepro V3800 while sitting at 70% usage. 

 

But in newer games, that E8400 isn't going to be anywhere near as relaxed as the Q6600

Based on 90% TDP

 

Luke:

Linus:

Lukes PSU has 2x18A 12v rails leaving him 5.2amps.

Linus' PSU has 2x17A 12 rails leaving him 9.8amps

 

Let hope Linus can use some of that extra power for more overclocking headroom to make this a fair fight.

I thought about that, but I don't think my supervisor would appreciate it very much :P

Hey Linus and the Crew, great video, I was really anticipating the next episode from last week!!

I think the R9 290 will get bottlenecked from the Core 2 Duo, and the 580 may not with the Q6600, so they may end up with similar performance :P who knows

Oh yes, Socket 775 was one hell of a generation of CPUs. My main system was running it for at least 7 years (died last year, sadly). and it was running the 2012 remake of NFS:MW on verylow settings at 35-40 fps... and that's with a GeForce 210 and 2 GB of RAM! Also it ran BF3 on low at around 30 fps...

can't wait until the last episode, this going to be fun.

 

and linus, stop bragging, i heard luke say "and our 12th set of ram" sarcasticly in the back.

 

-snip-

budget wise it's already fair, im actually amazed they got two totally diffrent systems.

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

When we have a staff of 50+ with people in producer roles and like a dozen or so on screen talents.

 

Utter rubbish

 

You can easily wait until you have edited all the parts before starting the release. Then release them daily or weekly in a timely fashion. What you're doing now is pushing out whatever is completed and totally disjointing the series. I can't even remember the detail from the first part but I remember liking it and wanting to see the next one.

 

Multipart is fine but is has to be professional and come out together on a set schedule so people can really enjoy them.

The only bad thing about this series is that it will eventualy end.

I really enjoy these!

Make more of them! :D

Also it ran BF3 on low at around 30 fps...

That CPU was kicking REALLY hard then. That's what I mean here, the abilities these things have for the money will surprise anyone. I bet the typical person using something like a 2500k had to swap to a Q9550 and 2x4GB RAM, he wouldn't notice a difference in terms of frame rates or anything. Games would play as they typically would. 

Sure, in benchmarks, anything above the 775 is jesus. But in reality, the 775 socket (especially wolfdale) is still amazingly powerful enough to do just about anything.

My Pentium G3258 maxes out Tomb Raider 2013 at 120FPS.
