□ Ivy bridge for Win XP system and GTX 7xx series the ***king hell are you serious or is that a joke ?!?!?!. You can see that in junk gaming ports, bad optimizations or graphics APIs, look for example DooM with Vulkan how it runs like charm, while other games like ARMA 3 run like crap. Same goes for old systems that can run games or other software like champs if they are well made, and the software is running properly. So in the end is about how well optimized and build one system is, not how much powerful the hardware it is, a great powerful systems can run games like crap if there are some bottlenecks, viruses, instability, improper software or other. damn i even install NFS Pro street but was too much, and still was running ok on low settings.Īs for NFS Underground 2 im sure my 462 will eat it. NFS Carbon is running also on high settings, but that game performance is broken, i did try it even on my previous FX8350 system and was having the same lagg and FPS drop, so is just bad game, and still runs great on my AthlonXP with mostly higher settings. That C2D will be very very late Win XP, as the Vista was launched in the end of 2006, and most C2D processors was launched in 20.ĭon`t know what Athlon64 did you have and GPU so even the Underground 2 was pain in the A$$ for you, but my 462 AthlonXP based system is running NFS Most Wanted on very max setting without any problem or lagging, as the AA is the only thing i fix so it ca run well and look great, so iu guess something in your system was bad, bcuz if i make single core Athlon64 it will rekt the games. They are now selling on ebay versions that they say that can be just installed to LGA775 socket without any socket modding, so I assume they have modded the cpu itself to fit the socket. It certainly was worth it 4-5 years ago when these CPUs were super cheap and still competitive, but these days people are practically throwing away CPUs that greatly outpace anything from the Core 2 era, so doing permanent mods to sockets on boards that will be considered "vintage" before too long isn't probably the way I'd go unless I had very specific needs that a slightly newer (and significantly more powerful) platform couldn't provide. Whether its actually worth it or not is debatable. as to simply doing the 771 mod, as long as your motherboard supports it and you have a steady hand (and don't mind modifying the socket), its easy. For that matter, it makes it hard to justify buying anything else for modern computing unless you need a ton of horsepower. When you can get refurbished Lenovo business systems with Sandy or Ivy Bridge i5 CPUs for $50-$120 these days, it makes it harder to justify spending much money on an older system to play newer games. The single-threaded speed difference will be quite significant, efficiency will be much better and 2x2GB of DDR3 is very cheap. I don't see the point in playing later DirectX10 games in XP since you're missing out on graphical features, but if you really want an XP system to be as powerful as possible you might as well go a bit further with a Sandy Bridge based system. I can definitely see some use cases for a top of the line CPU from 2007 like a Core 2 Quad QX9650 in Windows XP, and I have done the Xeon 771 mod myself many times and never had any problems at all.
