Core 2 Quad q9550 can run Zotac gtx 1050ti ?

Solution
yes it'll run, but with a bottleneck. My Q6700 works fine with my GTX 1050, even though i have legacy bios. To minimize the bottleneck once you got the card, turn the graphics settings up until the GPU is working as much OR slighty harder then the CPU. This way the limitation from your cpu doesnt matter since your GPU is already spreading it's legs.


In a nutshell, go ahead. It'll run, but with a big bottleneck. I'd suggest you get a low profile GT 730 or something and upgrade your CPU first to like a core i3 or i5. my friend had an AMD Athlon 64 X2 and he got a GT 730 first, then he got an AMD Phenom II X4 and now he's getting a 1050ti.
