Bottleneck

What's the most powerful GPU that can work on a Q9550 775 socket?

Literally any

>Most powerfull gpu.
>In a cpu socket.

do a xeon mod with any gpu desu. you can even find some videos of people using the 1060 6gb cards for the 775 chipsets

I had a 980 in mine till I upgraded.

Q9650X

>4c4t

Utter trash. A simple mod can have you running a 6c12t Xeon on the same motherboard.

>6 cores and 12 threads on a 775
What unholy beast are you talking about, user?

LGA 771 xeons work on LGA 775 boards if you put a sticker on the xeon and cut two pieces off the cpu socket

does it have to be a gaymen mobo or will a oem prebuilt mobo work??

Just how poor are you?

not op but I've got an old hp pavilion that i'd like to mess around with and dabble with linux gaymen.

On DX11, I'd guesstimate an RX 570.

Not sure if retarded, trolling, or just taking the lazy man's approach to getting a conversation going but I'll bite.
CPU socket has all of jack shit to do with what GPU you can stick in the machine.
I'm using a QX6850 with a GTX 560ti but I'd cram one of the 1000 series cards in if I could afford it.

I know someone with a 780 and Q6600
It's bottlenecked kinda badly but I think a 1050 tI would be great with a Q9650

some shitbox mobos lock down the bios
if you can flash the bios, you're good

dont worry, some pajeet will have done it for you

6C/12T Xeon on Penryn? I thought that was only Nehalem.

>Malay
>Not using the ones made literally by me

It is (more accurately, the 32nm Westmere chips). The only Core 2 based hex-cores are the Dunnington chips for Socket 604, and none of those chips were ever packaged in 771 or 775.

Didn't know they put that on Penryn. Westmere went up to 10 cores.

Nehalem-EX and Westmere-EX is right around the time Intel initially got their turbo-boner for fuckhuge poorly yielding server dies. Nehalem-EX in particular, being an 8c die on 45nm with a fuckton of L3 cache was pushing nearly 700mm^2

modded X5492?

8C 684mm^2 to 10C 512mm^2

18C 661mm^2 to 22C 456mm^2

Not OP, but I saw those but wasn't sure how reliable those are, as in if some Xiao just cut some shit up and isn't guaranteed to work.

those didn't exist on 775 you fucking dipshit

Are YOU retarded? You do realize that a shit enough CPU can be a bottleneck in modern games/applications, right?

I had that exact same processor, OP, and even my GTX 460 was bottlenecked by it in BF4.

What, you mean Xeons? Yeah, no shit, they were socket 771. He's referring to the 771 --> 775 mod, you dip.

P.S.: I upgraded to a i7 3770K later and BF4 framerate at the same settings shot up by 20 fps. It happened for most other games too.

If you're not willing to upgrade to ryzen just slap a GT 750 in there and you won't waste too much money.

6c/12t chips you mongoloid

The Radeon 7000 Series is more than enough, anything beyond that is bottleneck.

Also, get a job poorfag.

Bottleneck is a meme in general

Try running a socket FM1 CPU with a GTX 1080 and tell us how it goes.

770 I was bottle necking in the division tho that was cpu.

You do realize that there's this thing called 16xSSAA?

Man, that brings back fond memories circa 2002 of modding an Asus CUSL2 socket 370 motherboard to accept a Tualatin 1.1Ghz CPU. Had that bitch overclocked to 1.44Ghz with water cooling. That was a massive overclock for the time. Ran that setup until 2006 and only abandoned it because it maxed out at 512MB of RAM and only had 4x AGP.

SSAA isn't going to close the bottleneck gap on a nearly 10 yo processor. Try again, faggot.
