how do you get such a high fps?? I play with i5 2500 and GTX 460 on fullhd +16xaa and I almost get 30 fps!! the game also can not use 4 cores? why the q6600 is faster i5 according to the benchmark?? i dON'T understand
shit game to compare both cpu's. i've got a q6600 @ 2.9ghz with a GTX560Ti. i play at 1080p high - max (no AA) and getting 75fps avg on Mafia II, 84fps avg Blackops, 82fps avg Dirt3. No point atm going for an i5 or an i7, when everything runs over 60fps consistently. If i had to upgrade i only would while q6600 has some value, that way i could put the money towards a new mobo/cpu.
PEOPLE BOUGHT CORE I7 and steep Motherboard - much better EVERYTHING works, all the game is determined almost at the MAX! Open windows, site and downloads From INTERNET ALL VERY VERY FAST!
I currently have the q6600 and love the thing to death, but its time to upgrade the beast a bit. I'm hoping to get my ASUS x58 sabertooth and i7 960 quad for x-mas. Looks amazing too
@chronDiggity Yes i am, Im haveing a hard time finding out a sell price though. This Q6600 Has never been opened and still has all the Security tape on it from Intel. I was thinking around the price of 190 give or take. I still have reserch to do. Make me an offer with a website price to back it up :) that would help alot
yeah 190 is way too high. I've got a system with a broken e6600 that would benefit from a q6600 but I was hoping for a steal, at like $20 or something lol
@chronDiggity lol yeah... you might find one for that price if someone had Overclocked the crap out of one and wasnt sure how much longer it would last
it's on it's way out man. BF3 brings it to it's knees. Games will be coming out that do the same. It's not even yesteryear's technology, it's from 4 years ago lol.
If I were you, I'd find some overclocker's forums and see what you can get for it IMMEDIATELY. This reminds me of what I did with my Touch Pro 2 (a phone.) Someone offered me 100, I thought I could get more, procrastinated, now I can't get dick :(
Hi!. I have got Q6600 (2,4ghz), 6GB RAM and Gigabyte GA-p35-ds3l. I want change my graphics (now- 8800gt) for GTX 480. Can i do it? will my computer work? I want to play Red Orchestra 2 and Battlefield 3.
im happy with my q6600, my 4 gig of ddr2 ram and 2x 256 8600gts cards in sli. my pc has a windows score of processor 7.1, memory 7.1, graphics 6.7, gaming graphics 6.7 and primary hard disk 5.9.... i built this thing a few years ago. my uncle bought the latest packard bell tower and my score is higher still. nothing is over clocked and runs every game ive tried. i guess as long as your pc is fast enough for you and runs everything you want it to its a good computer.
@SaucyBegger25 yep, i had a similar system and felt absolutely no need to upgrade at all. i only replaced my video card because it had 3 annoying driver issues that nvidia never bothers to fix (related to using a hdmi cable to a television). my new ATI hd6950 is almost 3 times as fast as my old 8800GT, but the only reason i'm satisfied with my purchase is because ati drivers have none of those issues i've been having for the last 3 years with my nvidia card. couldn't care less about the speed.
why the fuck is this video even made it ? obviously the i7 is better its a fucking i7 latest series of the intel CPUs....WTF...why you didnt compared it with a Intel® Celeron® Processor 847 (2M Cache, 1.10 GHz) i think thats a realy damn video to show....i bet the celeron is way better.....(sarcasm used , if you`re noob you`d probably didn`t read this anyway)...
CPUs have aged better than GPUs. Compare 4 or 5 years on a GPU. How does a 8800 GTX/GTS (G80 or *gasp* G92 [they were great bang for the buck]) compare to the current 560/570/580 GTX line? Now... throw in overclocks... OC a 8800 as high as you can then OC a 5xx GTX has high as you can.
A 4-5 year gaming rig that's still relevent is pretty awesome.
Sure a C6 Corvettes faster than a C5 Corvette... but it's still fast.. and I've been enjoying it for years... ;)
So... new technology is faster than old technology. Great. Otherwise I'd never have to reason to upgrade my still very good Q6600 @ 3.8... someday
Since we went 65nm to 45nm C2Qs then to the i7s. 2 Gens, right? A tick and a tock? Seeing that video makes me realize what a wonderful value my Q6600 was when I sold my E6600 I had bought at $200 new for $100 and picked up a new Q6600 for $200. Is newer stuff faster? Of course. Why else upgrade?
lol you say i7 930 wins and it does when it comes to fps but what a beast is the q6600!!! it is way older then the new expensive 930 and it still performes and clocks like hell! srry man but for me the q6600 wins :)
@ShadowM4ST It depends how he has captured these clips. If fraps was used then that will cut the frame rate considerably...when I use fraps, it usually cuts the frames by a third...
@crackkn the only noob here is you because not even GTX 460 in SLI get bottlenecked by the Q6600...how you gonna tell me? i have done tons of research and benchmarks, and keep in mind that the Q6600 is a quad which can run all games today as long as you overclock.
ill take the q6600. For the price you cant compare at the time i saw this 249$ for the 930.....q6600 60$. Id take that extra money and bank it for now. What did it get to 37 FPS lowest.
what if it was a core 2 quad 9000? cuz i am looking at an Alienware M17x with a core 2 quad 9000 or another laptop that has i7 740qm whick of the 2 would run better? as in games like black ops BBC2 Crysis 2 etc. thanks
@fordfan197 nothing because if you see that thediff between an i7 and q6600 (oldest quad) is only like 5 fps then you will have 1-2 or no more fps then this guy on a q6600
@marfg12345 thanks, though it doesn't matter any more lol cuz im getting an i-7 740QM lol im getting an ASUS G73JH-BST7 with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 graphics 6GB RAM 640GB hard drive, cant wait, its gonna be a beast! :D it can run all games on maximum except Crysis 2 and Metro 2033 but can run them smooth on HIGH settings
@fordfan197 if you are talking bout a laptop, they are usually never made for gaming, the problem with crysis is that it doesnt uses more then 2 cores in-game
so if you have a six core cpu it will use only 2 cores, same for quad cores ( 4 cores)
mobility cards are usually much weaker then standrard graphics card, so the hd5870 will performe like hd5770
i dont know why would you buy a laptop, for all that money you can buy a good quad and a gtx580, but whatever
@marfg12345 well you obviously dont know much about laptops then, Alienware, Asus, MSI and Origin are all extremely great gaming laptops, the Asus that I am getting can play Crysis 2 on max settings. and why would I buy a laptop? maybe because I travel and like to game, like a lot of people
@affe12341234 i got a q6600 too but at stock speed :D
my oc last a cup of tests and pushed only to 2.7Ghz.. I want get the 6850 too and i was wondering how slow is it on games at stock speed, did you test it? sorry for my poor english..
@affe12341234 hey i have the q6600 and im planning on upgrading to AMD this time instead of intel .. im going with Sabertooth Mother Board AMD Phenom Black 1100T will the amd be much of a Difference than q6600??
Thank you so much for this Vid man , You saved me Throwing a Q6600 into the trash . Had one in my closet collecting dust and was about to throw it out when i came across this vid not im assured pairing it up with a ATI HD 6990 will rock most games
This test is not valid due to the fact that Crysis does not take advantage of all the i7's cores and threads (and Hyperthreading) over the Q-series. If it did then we would seen huge gains in FPS even if the i7 was running 2Ghz lower than the Q6600.. Try a comparison using Bad Company 2 (in DX11) or Metro 2033 (in DX11)..
@ShadowM4ST What are you talking about? Of course the CPU's don't have DX11. The new GTX 4xx, 5xx or HD 5xxx or 6xxx has DX11.. When You bought i7 you pretty much paid for the hyperthreading which is almost one of the only things that separate i7 from Q6600.. Only DX11 games has the ability to take advantage of Hyperthreading because it has support for multiple Cores and Threads. Get a DX11 card and bech again.. You would see 50%+ increase at least in DX11 titles!
@ShadowM4ST I'm not talking about any other video than this. Newer videos are irrelevant.. This is an unfair comparison for the i7. That's all i wanted to say..
This is complete crap. the i7 is clocked at 4 ghz and the q660 is at 3.8. i7 has 1600 mhz ram and the q6600 has only 800 mhz. most of the framerate increase is from the ram
@VicViperXxXxX I wanted to ask that too. Since CPUs have such a ridiculously low effect on games compared to GPUs, I'm thinking the new GPUs should be more than enough to max crysis on a quad core. I have friends that brag about their i7's they dropped 600 dollars on, but in reality they could have added half of that towards their video cards and gotten 2-3 times more FPS...
@VicViperXxXxX er, i didn't mean 2-3 times more FPS total. I meant 2-3 times more FPS than the i7 gave them... the i7 would give like a 5-8 fps increase from a quad I'm guessing after looking at benchmarks, while a new graphics card would add a crapton of fps
i want to have that OC in my Q6600 GO i have it on stock but when i BUY the CNPS9900 MAX i will try to the MAGICAL 3.6 that have 23°c, i know the Noctua NH-D14 is the best coller out there but i love the ZALMAN coolers that is light and cool very well aa you have 3.8 only in benchmark or you have it when you set the PC for gaming ???
@seacuracao indeed it does. Pretty good cpu intel pulled 5 years ago.. now lets say the game ran at 2560x1600 full AA full AF.. i'd like to see that video:) the bottleneck will be barely noticeable.
For me, the only reason I upgraded from a Q6600 to an i7-920 was for six RAM slots (running 12 GB of RAM at the time...now 24 GB, which is overkill for gaming, but great for virtual machines).
For others, is it enough to justify the purchase of a new motherboard, CPU, and RAM (if your LGA775 board has DDR2 slots instead of DDR3)? Like ShadowM4ST said, if you're doing SLI or Crossfire, then then answer is yes (you'll be bottlenecked otherwise). Otherwise, wait for Sandy Bridge...
Yay, the i9 is here now! Time to fork out another thousand dollars!...
Waste of money. Q6600 runs my video games such as Crysis Warhead, Grand Theft Auto IV, Mafia II etc. just fine. If your RAM and video card is upgraded well, no need to switch to an expensive processor.
Keep wasting your money assholes. Better to put it towards upgrading a pc than to put it in the bank, right? :P
@maNtdTUBE i got my i7 930 for $150 at microcenter 2 months ago new, and i got my q6600 for $500 3 years ago... i think the i7 was a better deal lol... plus i found most q6600 on ebay today run from $110-130 in my range thats only $20ish less than the i7 price i paid for. so no i7 > q6600 in $ but i do agree the q6600 was awesome outperformed newer cpus which was weird. it was alien technology lol. Oh and microcenter has a website so you can go check.
q6600 in this video is working on 90% and crossfire of hd4890 on 80% (because this cpu bottlenecked this crossfire) and i7 work at 10% and cards 100% if you put 2 HD5970 in crossfire or quad sli gtx480 you can see same fps with q6600 because it is working at 90% and crossfire or sli is working at 20% and with i7 and same cards you can see much difference something like cpu 70% and cards 100%... understand what i mean ?
@ShadowM4ST so, you dont need to remove my comment, only why i said the true? Q6600 at 3,8GHz.. 65nm and from 2006.. with DDR2 800Mhz.. against a "i7" in 4,1GHz, 32nm.. with memory DDR3 1600MHz.. the memory can explain all... only you see... at the start.. they are the same FPS... and when camera is next to the beach and showing the rocks etc... the DDR3 1600MHz can load very much faster than a DDR2 800!... I just understand what you mean, but to more credits, do a video showing the cpu use.
@Shellll32 sorry if i removed you comment, i put it 3 copys xDD and remove 2 but 3rd i dont know where is ? xD i sell my cpu (q6600 and cant to do new video of it :S)
STFU guys.. this video makes perfect sense.. I am looking for a good reason to upgrade my q6600 @ same OC, so this was exactly what I needed.. Thanks man.
Even though I'm quite sure the chipset has a lot to say because you're running crossfire.. I would like to see the same test, just with a single GFX.. It's probably out there somewhere :)
@sylvial1985 I know right I havea q6600 but I sold it :P, damn man I miss it to actully but im planning just to get a x6 or at least x4 from AMD. Untill Intel makes somthing good and affordable lol for me. I sitll love my quad core xeons though, always are beast.
@BKsMassive Sorry bro yeah I know man, I never payed attention to Core 2 Quads before just Xeon. But yeah I know, well i7 is not that significant of a upgrade, unless your doing video encoding but yes i7 is better but yeah bro.
No podés comparar un Core i7 930 con un Core 2 Quad Q6600, porque el Core i7 930 es muy superior al Quad Q6600, tiene más velocidad y más tecnologías, y tiene T, con lo cual son 8 núcleos, 4 físicos y 4 virtuales.
I7 wins? wow man. what are you comparing next? an ATI 2900XT vs ATI 5870? or even better 2900XT vs 5970. Come on, be reasonable. Obviosly I7 will win, Q6600 came out in 2007. I bought it then and it still has a long time left.
@andresjp77arg Yes, but I compared the two four-core processors, and showed which of the two need to buy to use two hd4890 to 100%. Because in this video we see that the q6600 can not cope with two hd4890 and imagine that you with it will put hd5970 FPS then you will not grow ... You see my point?
@ShadowM4ST I do understand . But you are comparing a brand new high end processor (the I7 is a quad but with HT tech - this means 2 threads for core - so 8 threads in total vs 4 threads cores of a native quad). What i am trying to tell you is that this comparison is not fair, the CPU speeds are different too and they are both Intel, so obviously it MUST be faster. I disliked the way you show it, like if you were dispising it. I was an awesome CPU for the price and it still is working very good.
i dont think the core i7's look that much faster than the q6600 either, especially once the q6600 is overclocked, from watching this video i still am happy i went with a q6600, price/performance i think the q6600 is a better deal right now

ill take the q6600. For the price you cant compare at the time i saw this 249$ for the 930.....q6600 60$. Id take that extra money and bank it for now. What did it get to 37 FPS lowest.

what if it was a core 2 quad 9000? cuz i am looking at an Alienware M17x with a core 2 quad 9000 or another laptop that has i7 740qm whick of the 2 would run better? as in games like black ops BBC2 Crysis 2 etc. thanks
fordfan197 11 months ago
@fordfan197 nothing because if you see that thediff between an i7 and q6600 (oldest quad) is only like 5 fps then you will have 1-2 or no more fps then this guy on a q6600
marfg12345 10 months ago
@marfg12345 thanks, though it doesn't matter any more lol cuz im getting an i-7 740QM lol im getting an ASUS G73JH-BST7 with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 graphics 6GB RAM 640GB hard drive, cant wait, its gonna be a beast! :D it can run all games on maximum except Crysis 2 and Metro 2033 but can run them smooth on HIGH settings
fordfan197 10 months ago
@fordfan197 if you are talking bout a laptop, they are usually never made for gaming, the problem with crysis is that it doesnt uses more then 2 cores in-game
so if you have a six core cpu it will use only 2 cores, same for quad cores ( 4 cores)
mobility cards are usually much weaker then standrard graphics card, so the hd5870 will performe like hd5770
i dont know why would you buy a laptop, for all that money you can buy a good quad and a gtx580, but whatever
laptops are shit with games
marfg12345 10 months ago
@marfg12345 well you obviously dont know much about laptops then, Alienware, Asus, MSI and Origin are all extremely great gaming laptops, the Asus that I am getting can play Crysis 2 on max settings. and why would I buy a laptop? maybe because I travel and like to game, like a lot of people

VicViperXxXxX 1 year ago
This test is not valid due to the fact that Crysis does not take advantage of all the i7's cores and threads (and Hyperthreading) over the Q-series. If it did then we would seen huge gains in FPS even if the i7 was running 2Ghz lower than the Q6600.. Try a comparison using Bad Company 2 (in DX11) or Metro 2033 (in DX11)..

@ShadowM4ST What are you talking about? Of course the CPU's don't have DX11. The new GTX 4xx, 5xx or HD 5xxx or 6xxx has DX11.. When You bought i7 you pretty much paid for the hyperthreading which is almost one of the only things that separate i7 from Q6600.. Only DX11 games has the ability to take advantage of Hyperthreading because it has support for multiple Cores and Threads. Get a DX11 card and bech again.. You would see 50%+ increase at least in DX11 titles!

VicViperXxXxX 1 year ago
@VicViperXxXxX I wanted to ask that too. Since CPUs have such a ridiculously low effect on games compared to GPUs, I'm thinking the new GPUs should be more than enough to max crysis on a quad core. I have friends that brag about their i7's they dropped 600 dollars on, but in reality they could have added half of that towards their video cards and gotten 2-3 times more FPS...
eviltube1111 1 year ago
@VicViperXxXxX er, i didn't mean 2-3 times more FPS total. I meant 2-3 times more FPS than the i7 gave them... the i7 would give like a 5-8 fps increase from a quad I'm guessing after looking at benchmarks, while a new graphics card would add a crapton of fps

For me, the only reason I upgraded from a Q6600 to an i7-920 was for six RAM slots (running 12 GB of RAM at the time...now 24 GB, which is overkill for gaming, but great for virtual machines).
For others, is it enough to justify the purchase of a new motherboard, CPU, and RAM (if your LGA775 board has DDR2 slots instead of DDR3)? Like ShadowM4ST said, if you're doing SLI or Crossfire, then then answer is yes (you'll be bottlenecked otherwise). Otherwise, wait for Sandy Bridge...

Waste of money. Q6600 runs my video games such as Crysis Warhead, Grand Theft Auto IV, Mafia II etc. just fine. If your RAM and video card is upgraded well, no need to switch to an expensive processor.
Keep wasting your money assholes. Better to put it towards upgrading a pc than to put it in the bank, right? :P

q6600 in this video is working on 90% and crossfire of hd4890 on 80% (because this cpu bottlenecked this crossfire) and i7 work at 10% and cards 100% if you put 2 HD5970 in crossfire or quad sli gtx480 you can see same fps with q6600 because it is working at 90% and crossfire or sli is working at 20% and with i7 and same cards you can see much difference something like cpu 70% and cards 100%... understand what i mean ?

@ShadowM4ST so, you dont need to remove my comment, only why i said the true? Q6600 at 3,8GHz.. 65nm and from 2006.. with DDR2 800Mhz.. against a "i7" in 4,1GHz, 32nm.. with memory DDR3 1600MHz.. the memory can explain all... only you see... at the start.. they are the same FPS... and when camera is next to the beach and showing the rocks etc... the DDR3 1600MHz can load very much faster than a DDR2 800!... I just understand what you mean, but to more credits, do a video showing the cpu use.

andresjp77arg 1 year ago
@andresjp77arg Yes, but I compared the two four-core processors, and showed which of the two need to buy to use two hd4890 to 100%. Because in this video we see that the q6600 can not cope with two hd4890 and imagine that you with it will put hd5970 FPS then you will not grow ... You see my point?
ShadowM4ST 1 year ago 2
@ShadowM4ST I do understand . But you are comparing a brand new high end processor (the I7 is a quad but with HT tech - this means 2 threads for core - so 8 threads in total vs 4 threads cores of a native quad). What i am trying to tell you is that this comparison is not fair, the CPU speeds are different too and they are both Intel, so obviously it MUST be faster. I disliked the way you show it, like if you were dispising it. I was an awesome CPU for the price and it still is working very good.
