This is the silliest pairing lol
Yeah, bu can definitely be fun to mess around with. Linux Mesa supports the 40 series. I wonder how one would do in a BE-PowerPC system of around the same era?
i mean that sucks but if you can afford a 50 series card are you really playing with a core 2
Yeah I mean even the newest Core 2 Quad would be like 14 years old or so by now.
I recently swapped out my old 2080 with a new 5080, but my i7 8086K (type of 8700) is over six years old and it’s really struggling hard with recent titles. Oblivion remastered or Helldivers 2 take between 85 and 95% of cpu time.
The bottleneck is tremendous. I ordered a new cpu, mem, mobo & cooler to bring it back up to par.
I mean I get sticking to your budget while buying the best GPU you can but come on
