Gigabyte series G41M-combo
Core 2 Quad Q9550
ram : any suggestions with ram ddr3 2x4gb..? 1066/1333
vga : gtx 960. bottleneck or not.?
sock 755 can be oc?
the main issue for this socket is that u cant go more than 8 gigs of ram… its becomes not enough… but as a cpu… it can handle up to gtx 960-970 or 1060 ))) if your mb supporta 16 gigs of ram (rare) overclock cpu an u are free at all
is it gonna bottleneck sapphire radeon hd 7770 oc ghz edition?
Can i Upgrade to This CPU , Please Tell Me , And what is the Good GPU With this
:)
you should check your mobo if it has support core 2 quad processor
most powerful gpu this procie can fit is gtx 950 / 7850 i guess…
Thanks Bro ! :D (y)
is this a good upgrade from my cpu and dshould i get a hd 7850 with this?
With no trouble at all !! OC the CPU and you'll be impressed ;)
Can I run quantum Break with this cpu?? And GTX 660 2gb edition??
YES
OF COURSE
still decent in 2015 ?
In my opinion yes, i can still play the games i enjoy with no issue. It seems like it was pretty powerful back in its day and honestly i have no issues with it. Haven't tried overclocking mine yet though
I have this and i m pretty satisfied by its work… but the bottleneck is my RAM… isn't it???
hello guys i have q9550@2.8 with 8gig ram i want to purchase a med-hig end gpu r9 or gtx series any suggestions would be appreciated
gta 320…
or 650 and 750 are best…
GTX 570,GTX660 GTX760 And GTX960 :)))
gtx 760 and highter… 570 and 660 will be a bottleneck
also higher than 970 will be bottlenecked… anyway. with good gpu ull be albe to play any decent game on ultra/high
if u overclock it ur gonna get better fps
guys should i upgrade to this cpu? or i wont notice any difference?
my current cpu Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @3.4Ghz
If you can't move to the Core I series then this is the best bet. And Yes, you would note a massive improvement as this runs on 4 cores and yours on 2.
thanks for ur help :)
Is this CPU better than mine? I know Xeon aren't meant for gaming but should I upgrade & what about the combination with Radeon r7 250x?
