Thanks man, I had a 9600GT anyway, and I had a small screen which supports 1280 x 1024, i think should be doing good with the Q6600 and 30fps is very playable for me :D. For current processor, Crysis i played with 1152x768, everything high, no AA, running dx9, I only get around 25fps and will drop to 12fps when things get intensive.
Na dude its not worth it yet get a faster core 2 duo you will save money too http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115037artiedeadat40
oh, forgot to mention that my mother board is an older board, it only supports to 1066FSB processors. I would love to buy the new core2 duo processors if i could support it. But now I don't plan to change my board first as I am waiting boards that support PCI-E 2.0 to be common :).
Trilvester, could you let me know some of your games played and the frame rates? thanks
How does this processor doing on today's gaming? Is it worth to upgrade it from a pentium D?
I did post a topic about a month ago asking about my current processor and people asking me to change to a core 2 duo E4700. However, i think changing to something higher would be better for future use. So, I considering either Core 2 duo E6600 or Q6600, but i heard Q6600 doesn't work as well as E6600 in games, is that true?
It seems that the E6550 is much more superior than the E4500 from the specs given. is there any other model performs between these two? I'm asking a lot because I just wanna make sure what I pay is worth for it :P
Darn.. i just found out that my board could only support processor of 1066 FSB for highest. Btw, i have a Intel DP965LT.. it supports Intel Core 2 Quad processor in an LGA775 socket with a 1066 MHz system bus Intel Core 2 Extreme processor in an LGA775 socket with a 1066 MHz system bus Intel Core 2 Duo Processor in an LGA775 socket with a 1066 or 800 MHz system bus Intel Pentium D Processor in an LGA775 socket with an 800 MHz system bus Intel Pentium 4 Processor in an LGA775 socket with an 800 or 533 MHz system bus Intel Celeron D Processor in an LGA775 socket with a 533 MHz system bus
I actually thought if the mobo have the compatible socket then would be all right.
Currently i have a desktop with pentium D 915 2.8GHz 2.5GB ram Asus 9600 GT
So, i am wondering how big the difference would be in games if i change my processor to a Core 2 duo E6550. Because now i couldn't run the games with the expected frame rate so i doubt is my processor.
