Recently, I bought another duty x 9 60 planned to use it in a budget build in a few videos.

Time, however, my impatience got the better of me.

And as I was rummaging through my old process a collection, I came across the legendary Q 6600 once more naturally over clocked it to 3.2 gigahertz, slapped in the 9 60 decided to see how this unlikely duo would pair up.

You may think this is a silly combination, but in the past I have paired the Q 6600 Andrew Ticks, 10 50 found that while games were playable, the stock CPU held the system back.

Furthermore, the 9 66 between the 10 50 10 50 t.

I in terms of performance that can be found cheaper than both on the used market.

So if you're rocking an old quote 775 socket set up, it may be just what you need to give your old system a bit of extra room.

So, just for fun, how did these two get on leisure can see?

The gameplay is already well underway in the background here, though unfortunately, M s, I afterburner their software.

I used to record the CPU in ju BU usage didn't show up.

Now, this isn't the first time this has happened since the update, but I can tell you that most of the time the process of was running at 90 to 100% usage, even at 3.2 gigahertz.

And that brings me on to my next point.

When using an old quote call like this, there is only so far you can push it.

By that, I mean, as with all processes, there will be a cut off point in which it will begin to hold back or bottleneck the GPU.

That means that pairing something more powerful than a 9 60 here with the CPU would be mostly a waste of time.

You wouldn't really see an increase in performance.

That also means we could have probably got in similar performance with a weaker card as well.

But without testing a handful of GP use, it's hard to tell which card would have been enough by overcooking something like this, though it gives us more headroom when choosing a graphics card as the CPU will have more power to offer back to the game play showing today, though, and I'm still surprised when I see the CBU in action at over 10 years old.

Now it can still handle itself reasonably well.

There.

You will find that in some more demanding to play releases or action packed multi player titles, there will be some stuttering.

This can be said for both Battlefield one and Overwatch, which, although looked delightfully smooth in the footage, did have their own individual problems.

This isn't always something that can be fixed with a resolution change either.

Say, for example, dropping the game from 10 80 p down to 7 20 p, though it will help.

In some instances, I would have to say that these days, if you're running a Q 6600 over clocking, it would definitely be recommended.

It's an easy enough process on my suit's motherboard, but a lot of these old quads are found in pre built Daryl systems.

In those instances, you can actually overcooked the CPU with electrical tape for an instant three gigahertz boost.

Search my video on that.

If that's something you want to try that being said.

I'm glad I tried this combination out today because while I wait for the rest of my other budget build to pair with this tree text 9 60 it's nice to see there.

I can still stick it in a court to court system and be able to play some of my favorite games with reasonable settings.

At 10 80 p resolution, though, as I mentioned at the start, this was just for a bit of fun.

And you may get frustrated with a combination like this when it comes to those more intense multi player Triple eight titles as some stuttering will be exhibited.

Having said that, though, I hope you've enjoyed this video nonetheless.

I'm pretty sure none of you out there ever wondered what a combination like this could do.

But in case you did now, you know has his thank you very much for watching.
