Yeah I mean even the newest Core 2 Quad would be like 14 years old or so by now.
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 I get sticking to your budget while buying the best GPU you can but come on
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.
