Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 and Geforce Gtx 750 Ti

urfacegoboom · Feb 19, 2014

Would there be any problems using a Geforce Gtx 750 Ti with a Core 2 duo E4600? My PSU is 500W

Applepienation · Feb 19, 2014

Nope, just about nothing I can think. I'd expect the only problem would be if your motherboard has the appropriate slot which I'd be surprised if it didn't.

It should work but there might be updates needed for your mobo.

Hello guys sorry for bumping thread , but I have same question .

Can I get gtx 750 Ti with Core 2 Duo E7500 with PCI-E 1.0 slot on Intel mobo ??and i have good psu which has 6 pin ??

thx !!!!

caj · Feb 19, 2014

You can but we dunno what the performance will be, it def run but there might be some bottlenecks.

I heard that Gtx 750 Ti doesnt need a 6 pin

caj · Feb 19, 2014

Some cards req some dont, you should be worried4 bottlenecks jist incase.

rolandzhang3 · Feb 19, 2014

Some third party models do, for the sake of overclocking headroom

That's a pretty big bottleneck you have there, you'll be limiting that card to around a third of its full potential with that weaker Core 2 Duo

Then again, that card is decent enough to carry over to your next build if you're planning a new CPU and mobo in the near future

caj :

but Gtx 750 Ti is better than 650 Ti Boost ??"

EDIT : ZOTAC GTX 750 Ti [ getting ]

rolandzhang3 · Feb 19, 2014

They perform around the same, the 750 Ti uses significantly less power

BuzzKenway · Feb 19, 2014

rolandzhang3 :

hmm..

it has more good stuff .

Thank you once again . Any ways its just for testing sake .lol

Yea it is. The 750 ti is more power efficent. Those with design purposes will get away with the c2d n 750ti but if u intend 4 gaming as I sed ull get bottlnecks4 sure. If it was a c2q you might have gotten away with minimal bottlenecking.

caj :

but choices between Gtx 650 Ti Boost and 750 Ti eith Core 2 Duo . Gtx 750 Ti Cost to me .

A better gpu willl always perform better ,right ?
but as you guys say I will stick with Gtx 650 Ti Boost or R7 260X / R7 265 maybe .

:O

rolandzhang3 · Feb 19, 2014

If you have a decent PSU, go with the cheaper option

caj · Feb 19, 2014

In order 4 a gpu to perform equally the entire system needs to be balanced. Currently your cpu is slower than your gpu. You can use either a 7750or 7770 or 250x to go optimally.

caj :

yeah I know...

my one old built has sames specs with gtx 660 . running Tomb raider at ultimate settings with 28- 44 fps lol [ 900 p ]

this built [ which im talking about ] has same specs . still cannot decide what to get

. just wanna play Tomb raider and COD MW3 multiplayer at ultra setting provided reso . 1600 x 900 .

Remember that Nvidia have a sort-of hardware solution to Mantle and Maxwell GPU's are more independent from the CPU, your biggest bottleneck is the PCIe 1.0 slot.

rolandzhang3 · Feb 19, 2014

Generally the biggest bottleneck is from the CPU, not necessarily the PCI-E 1.0 slot

We usually say the slot will bottleneck because the CPUs with those boards will be the main thing holding it back since they are older, weaker chips

Running in x16 mode, there isn't a giant difference

There isn't anything bad from bottlenecking, you're just getting less value for your money that way unless you're planning a CPU+mobo+RAM upgrade in the near future
