GTS 450 vs 9600GT

[AssAss1n]

I am planning to get a new PC in summer, but I want to upgrade few stuff to keep me busy before it. 

 

Upgrades involve going from Intel core 2 duo E7500 to Q6600, GT 9600 to GTS 450 and adding extra 2GB RAM to already 4GB.

 

How much of an upgrade will I see? Playing resolution is 1280x1024.

Not much my dude, not much

I couldn't find any benchmarks, but by the specs it should be much better. I just want to know how much would fps improve in %'s.

This implies to somehow find benchmarks done on the same CPU, but because these cards are so old no one bothered to compare them in the first place

 

What games are you planning to run ?

Well games that came out before 2015 I guess, Upgrade costs me very cheap because my friend offered me some money and I only have to add little, just to keep me fun before summer. My core 2 duo and gt 9600 can't let me game at all.

I highly doubt a Core quad and a GTS450 will offer you any kind of gaming experience, maybe the DX10 support will help

 

This is what I could find, this guy paired the GTS450 with a low end i3 so I guess it would be -uh- comparable to an old Core Quad ? Maybe ?

Keep in mind thats an i3

Well considering that this guy has some stuff on high/very high, I think quad will be able to get around 35fps on lowest settings, still pretty good I guess.

maybe look for a used 750ti? they aren't expensive really and there are plenty. everything below that is not really a gaming card anymore nowadays.

I don't want to spend much on this toaster, I found GTS 450's for around $20, There are GTX 260's aswell but they are more power hungry, I even got offered GTX 470, but my damn 400w PSU can't handle it.

how about a gt 720 then? thats the lowest I'd go for a card. and its only slightly cheaper but much more recent.

I actually found cheap GT 1030's how will that work?

even better!

anything above that is gonna be held back by the cpu anyways I'd say

Honestly you may want to consider something like a GT1030 do to it's small size and power requirements since your powering your PC with what I assume is an older 400W PSU. My GT130 massively outperformed my old GTX550ti, 131FPS vs 60FPS using the cinebench OpenGL benchmark and they can be had brand new for $70-80, and it can always be swapped into any other PC have/buy/build so don't think of it as just spending money on your "toaster".

Hang on 550 ti is better than 1030? I can't believe that.

I think you read that backwards

GT1030 131FPS

GTX550TI 60FPS

My bad, then I am probably getting 1030. Thanks!

I bought the Asus GT1030-2G-CSM for my small form factor build, and I'm really happy with it. With a case fan giving it some good airflow it only gets up to 45*C while stress testing

Do you think Q6600 will do good with that card?

I never had anything but the GTX550ti paired up with my Q6700, but this video shows a GT1030 being held back by a Q6600 when compared to a 4790K, but to be fair the Q6600 was running at a stock 2.4GHz while the 4790K was running at 4.4GHz. With a good overclock you'll probably be ok, but you may want to consider getting something like a Q9550 for $30 since your motherboard supports it, it should give you a 30-37% performance boost over the Q6600.

What about Q8200, I heard its faster than Q6600, but not by much, It also produces less heat and needs less power.

That could also work, but again you'd want to overclock it as it comes with a 2.33GHz base frequency.
