How would a q6600 and gtx 550ti run games

[Mattco]

How would a q6600 and gtx 550ti, 4gb ddr2, on a Asus P5N-E SLI board . WHat kind of game would i be able to run and play well?

thanks for your responses

[themctipers]

1080p/low/medium at ~60fps. depends what games though

[Princess Luna]

The q6600 can squeeze all of the 550ti juice out, it will play fairly well games from 2011 and before, don't expect much on 2012 and on titles though.... talking about the more demanding ones; AA and AAA obviously.

[Mattco]

The games that would be played would be between tf2, stick of truth, and gtav , ik its a big difference

[HelplmChoking]

Badly. TF2 would be okay, stick of truth easy, GTA V will be barely playable.

[Perbox]

those should all run 1080p low to mid preset

TF2 and SoT will be just fine... GTA will struggle very hard, maybe 768p low?

The 550ti is the weak link here. Not sure about GTA V but the rest should be fine on low-med.

GTA V is pretty CPU heavy too, I had a 4.4GHz 8320 that bottlenecked a 270x at 1080p.

Later in the year im getting a new mobo, 8gb of ram and a pentium g4560, would i also need to get something like a rx460 or a 1050 with it?

if its somewhere near a HD 3000 iGPU

768p ultra low at 60fps,.

 

i think 'low spec gamer' has a video on how to optimize it

Before I switched to Haswell, I had a Q9400 and the performance were on par with a i3-4170

Yeah that's a good idea, the 1050Ti would be a good pairing, unless you want to try a 470.

I would put RX 470 so you don't have any bottlenecks

I mean, I'm still on Sandy Bridge-EP  but GTA V is a pretty tough thing to run.

i doubt i can get more fps in gta v with a better cpu (+5fps)

3770k at 4.4ghz

Yeah you're fine there When I upgraded from FX, I only got a couple extra frames, but it was way more consistent, no stuttering and lagging.

[Mattco]

Should i wait to upgrade or get Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 and use that while i wait?

when i upgraded from i5 760 (same gpu, went from 3ghz i5 to 4.4ghz i7)

i went from playing on medium to high.

stuttering at 55fps? constant 65+ fps

Yup pretty much. 4.4GHz FX to a 3.9GHz Sandy Bridge, and I went from stuttering 45fps to 50fps butter smooth, then got a 470 and I'm 60 smooth at WFHD.

[Mattco]

This pc aslo used to be 2007-2008 gaming pc that had 8800gt and i upgraded to the 550ti in it now.

widescreen 1080p or 1440p or widescreen 1440p

 

pls just use the pixel countp system

[flibberdipper]

You'd be looking at 720p medium/high to 1080p low.

It's not dying. It's dead. Hell, a Q6600 can barely let a GTX 580 stretch its legs.

dying = should only upgrade up in 775 if you cant afford 

dead = just stick around and dont touch anything
