I built a PC using a core 2 quad for a cousin of mine, was his Christmas gift. Runs all his games really well. I'd post numbers but I never fully tested it, wasn't meant to be a 'gaming' PC. The most intensive game he plays is Fortnight (hes 10). Why build around a core 2 quad? Because his parents are flat broke and I had no budget either, built it out of thrift store finds i picked up for $10. Only NEW parts was the PSU and graphics card.

What a waste of the much sought-after Low Profile 1050... Throw a 750 or 1030 single-slot in there insead. The 1050 is better matched with an i5 2400 rig... Which are the most common used office SFF systems anyway.

Can a core two quad game in 2019? Short answer: No. Longer answer: Yes. Long answer: Depends on what game you wanna play and what GPU you have.

[@johnoshack2429]

Longest answer: If you have decent motherboard and you are willing to overclock then it can game (not AAA games) paired with let's say 1050/1050 Ti, but if you have OEM pc then C2Q is lacking the power to handle most of ''modern'' games with playable framerates without overclock. Overclocking is the key to make C2Q still usable for gaming.

The limiting factor on the core 2/quad boards is the DDR2 ram amount that supports, most only accept 4 gb at max, theres a few lucky ones that can take 8 and can run modern games, I think this must be one of them

That applies to the 755 which also frequently had the bad batches of capacitors made in the early/mid 2000s. The 760 is also DDR2 but the 780 accepts up to 16GB DDR3 (4x 4GB).

It's likely Apex Legends will get a fix to work without those instructions... lots of Games had those issues for a while after release, then Developers figured they'd reach a wider audience if they'd fix it. In fact, both Destiny 2 and No Man's Sky had the same errors, but fixed them. I think Destiny 2 took only 2 Weeks. Sidenote: Don't bother with SFF systems, their PSUs are stupidly expensive even used and more often than not SFF cost more than full size on the used market because people use them as Media PC etc. Also, make sure to check the coolers... the Core2Platforms had very different TDP on CPUs, the Core2Quad Q6600 alone had a 95 and 120w variant and if you want to BSEL mod them, you better have some decent cooling on them.

[@creaturedanaaaaa]

Actually, SFF generally costs about 30% less, since mid towers are often wanted for budget gaming PCs, and Dell uses standard power supply connectors so if you leave the side panel off you can use a beefier card and PSU.

[@MadIIMike]

@@creaturedanaaaaa I suppose it might differ on region or so... but a hobby of mine is buying cheap broken PCs and fix them back up, then sell them on for a small profit (to cover possible losses. From my expirience, it's really easy to sell the SFF ones especially if they have a HDMI output. Another thing I noticed is, that people seem to gravitate towards Laptops nowdays, even if they only use them at home, because they don't take up much space / can be stored away. I get the basic motivation, but... it's one of the things I'd never do... just like buying a car with 3 cylinders.

@@MadIIMike I know someone with a Dell SFF pc that has a side panel that's been chucked in a drawer somewhere, and has an OEM ITX RX480 in it which sticks out by an entire case width, and a power supply that's not even in the case. But yeah, with rising prices in my area, more and more people are moving to upgrading prebuilts. That dried up the supply of mid towers, and drove their prices up. Everyone I know that wanted a media pc either bought a console or uses their old laptop.

My QX6700 is still kicking. Can even do basic gaming w/o issue with the 1030 I have in there now (lowest end card I could find to do H.265 decoding). Plex transcoding and other CPU intensive graphics things certainly call for an upgrade.

I have that exact Dell Optiplex lol, it's plugged into my 1080p TV as a media PC.

[@dripxvx796]

Do you still have that computer bc I want and can I have it

[@orionheim2295]

Oh hey seth rogan

[@evelandy]

Orion Heim that’s what made me check the video out lol

[@zsolt.7754]

i have a CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz Kentsfield 65nm Technology

[@gandyprakoso7383]

How about the power supply unit? Optiplex mini PSU is just 275w, and curious the PSU watts is doesnt meet the GPU (gtx 1050 in this case) requirments (300 or 350w according to nv website), so i think its kind of "danger" for the GPU.. because as i know the matter of upgrading GPU is not just how fast is our processors, but the PSU output is need to be concerned too, and the PSU type of that optiplex case is unique..

[@okawaiikoto2927]

I can play dota 2 with this pc.. The specs is 2gb video card 520,4gb ram ddr3, pentium... In low setting with 60 fps that's crazy how old it is.

[@uco1973]

This is not AGP slot. This is PCI-X slot.

[@johnbilliter212]

AVX / Advanced Vector Extensions (avx instruction set) Is why the core 2 quad cant play games

[@hiro9253]

your video title is core2quad gaming but you gave up after 1 game doesnt work? you are not even trying. my brother has q9400 paired with gtx 750ti and to my surprise it can run witcher 3, gta v, pubg, fortnite and overwatch really well.

[@undeadwolf3493]

i still have a core 2 duo that can rock most games and yes it can not run apex HUGE SAD FACE but any other game it run like a champ gg guys keep up the awesome work

[@xthelord1668]

Everyone is telling that core 2 quad+1050 ti is good,i'd say no because for same or simmilar price you can get RX 570 which actually lets core 2 quad stretch its legs,cooling is a good thing to max out since you will have to push cpu to atleast 4 ghz to get going and yes beefy motherboards are key too something from P35 to X48 will power high overclocks,buy 2 SSD's for boot drive+drive for your stuff,if you want faster net or faster USB,you have to buy PCI express cards for that and last thing is you have to cherry pick RAM because some types of ram work,so if you want to go 16 gb which is doable you have to find RAM which would boot up well,i know so far Transcend KLN1333 4gb runs on core 2 quad and yes certain motherboards can run 16 gb ddr3 or 16 gb ddr2 so keep an eye on those things and you should have cheap system with modern features

[@soledadpalomino7022]

Well im actually running decently Metro Exodus on low and medium graphics (1080p) on my Oced to 4.0 C2Q Q9650 paired to a 1050ti and 16gigs of ddr3 ram so i think this 775 socket cpus are still incredibly performing today...

[@theejoeylee]

I was not expecting that voice out of seth rogan

[@mikeanderson1994]

I have a dell optiplex 780 mini tower and i have a gt 1030 in it and 8 gigs of ram i can max the ram to 16 gigs, anyways today i went out and bought a core 2 quad q8300 running at 2.50ghz insted of the core 2 duo i had before so what do you think of this pc spec !? Are they any good ? And what about the cpu is it any good ? And can i overclock this cpu with an oem pc or do i need an after market motherbored to over clock it ?? Plz replay to me thanks in advance sir

[@davidf.2206]

It really hurt to watch this video. You talk about "Good old times" with the Core2 Quad and can't distinguish a PCI from an AGP and you don't know about Dells BTX Motherboard form factor and get surprised that a 2 slot card will not fit ...

[@solidsnake3292]

it would be better if you get a core 2 extreme and put it in there

[@guywhoknows]

There is lots of issues with Dell systems. Like lack of power supply for the gpu. Also what chipset? Looks like you may have had the PCI express 1 board. What was funny and like LTT is that clearly the GPU is bottle necked by the system. That's why it says 55% I think I saw a peek, while the CPU was 99%. So it's either the board and ram or the CPU. I know the card is slight overkill on that CPU. A 980 would be a better choice. And it would have been balance so you didn't get stutter. I like that fact you said it wasn't... Plainly was...

[@sultanmehmoodghaznavi6312]

unfortunately I have to buy this system today as a second hand available somewhere as I destroyed my system in an accident. I used to play with these in 2010

[@211gabor]

Ez csak egy példa volt, de a logika ugyan ez az összes más foglalkozásra is. Minnél egyszerűbb, minnél földhözragadtabb, annál inkább a Baké, minnél bonyolúltabb, összetettebb, annál inkább a Vízöntőé.

[@EirikrTinkerTries]

“Jack and Matt with the Toaster Bros” makes me crack up so hard

[@michaelhart5087]

im pretty sure you need a pcie extension cable for that.

[@Babbages]

framerate cap at 120 fps on lower spec cpus and only use medium or high view distance cause the farther u view the more hit the cpu will take cause its gota help render all that and the higher the fps is set the more stuttering ul get learned this from a a8 5500 and a i3 with that game .

[@operationbs7610]

I have so many 780 computers..and one with a qx9650

[@leon-rv1on]

so is a core 2 quad better / same / worse than an i5?

[@stevesmith1383]

worse, and depending on which i5, could be much much worse
