For example I bought 1060 3 Gb in 2017 for $199. Now if we believe that gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2060-6GB-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1060-3GB/4034vs3646 in the right ballpark, then 2060 being 62% faster should cost ~$322.

    So, this basically proves that a good system is essentially futureproofed and can last at least a couple console generations. I mean not a lot of people are going to run their computers at 4K due to the amount of memory and bandwith that would use. 1080 would would be sufficient for this system.

      Mine is from fall 2009, so almost 10 years old and was a 600€ retailer setup (so most likely not well optimized). Over the years I added more ram (from a different manufacturer) to 8gb total, a better graphics card (GTX 970), a better cpu cooler two ssd and a quite power supply. CPU and motherboard stayed the same (that's the parts Linus is testing).
      So my system clearly is worse than what Linus is testing. I still can play Overwatch on ultra with 60+ fps in 1080p while watching youtube in 720p on the other screen. I don't play graphics heavy games, I don't do video editing, and I don't care about 4k videos with my 1080p screens, but I'm actually not surprised at all, that a $5000 CPU+motherboard from the same time, gets a decent performance with the parts he added.
      My cpu is an Intel core i5-750.

      @kylestewart4444 Рік тому +13

      @@Jenna_Talia there actually are somewhat reasonable justifications in some cases. But it’s not because the boards are necessarily better for gaming. Ultra robust power delivery is basically solely for extreme overclocking. If you’re running your CPU at stock speeds, stock voltage, etc, it really doesn’t impact you at all. Lower to mid tier chipsets are plenty capable of moderate overclocking. Running precision boost overdrive and a memory overclock for example is perfectly doable without any of those insanely priced upper tier boards. For the vast, vast majority of people, gamers included, would never have any reason to buy something like the MSI Godlike or the Asus X670E Crosshair Extreme, which is a $1,000 motherboard. Those are for hardcore overclocking enthusiasts.
      However, spending more money on a motherboard can make sense if you want a lot of high bandwidth NVMe slots. Lower and mid tier boards come with fewer of them, especially when it comes to slots which support PCIe Gen 4 or Gen 5 speeds. I’ve been using nothing but NVMe storage for a few years now so that’s my primary consideration when shopping for a motherboard.
      I just finished building my AM5 system and went with the Asus B650E-E. The power delivery is more than good enough for my needs and despite it being a B-series board, which used to be quite barebones, lacking a lot of higher end features, B-series boards are getting a lot better. This one came equipped with 4 NVMe slots, two Gen 4 slots and 2 Gen 5 slots. I’m currently running two 2TB drives and can easily add two more later if needed. To me, that’s worth paying a higher price. My current B-series board has better NVMe support than my previous X570 board and cost me about the same amount of money - around $300.

    Overl0rd from the Forum here! Thanks for the shout out at the beginning Linus :D Skulltrail is a truly fantastic no-expenses-spared platform. IMO one of the last times Intel really showed they cared about the enthusiasts. and I’m happy to see it’s getting some attention again. For those looking for more information and testing on Skulltrail, over the last year I’ve made a ton of in-depth content on my channel including gaming and overclocking.
    A couple of points I would like to point out
    -While the QX9775 CPUs are the most awesome way to go on this platform. It will work just fine with regular 771 Xeons and back then a TON of people went that route. The board will also work just fine with a single CPU. Especially the CPUs with a 1333MHz FSB have great OC headroom (as 5400 chipset runs out at around 430MHz bus speed) and could potentially reach beyond 4GHz. Overclocking the QX9775s is rather straightforward, mine do 4GHz at 1.41V. Just make sure to have proper cooling on not just the CPUs, but also active cooling on the north bridge and the FBDIMMs; those will get up to around 90C.
    -Despite the fact that the drivers of the Nforce 100 chips are troublesome in Windows 10, SLI should work fine using PCIe 2 and 4 (I have tested this personally). The problems are less under Windows 7, but still present.
    -16GB of RAM is definitely supported out of box. I personally run 4x4GB 667MHz overclocked to 800MHz. To do this you do have to have the latest BIOS version, as more memory config options were only added later on.

    I like how excited he is about "modern" Win 10 being responsive on that aged monster. Plug in an SSD and it will run smoothly on almost any machine thats still alive. I run a phenom II X4 945 (from 2009) myself which was low budget at that time without any problems. And even gaming ist still good to okay (depending on the game) with a GTX 960 (2015). Not 4k of course (You don't throw 4k at 1080-Ladies, Linus!), but the era of throwing away your whole computer every two years are over.

      I managed to recently spruce up the same motherboard you mentioned. A new PSU and SSD and cleaned up the fans and dusty areas. Just needed some new thermal paste and I am hoping to keeping it for a bit longer. As for the WIN-10 installation, I preferably stopped some programmes running in the background and turned off some window's features so it can run smoothly as it could.

      Yeah, thats true. But to be true if you place there something like 1050, cheap mainstream card it will still work great. There is no question about 2008 hardware to run 4k, but 2008 hardware supports stuff so you can use all new things with it and it just Works!. Like good USB PCIe card plus GPU like 1050 and to be truth it will work as a charm with modern SSD and mainstream games.
      In my opinion this is good argument for people without money for PC. Buy old platform with good Core2Quad CPU. But used GPU like 960 or 970 to this PC and USB PCIe Card and you have PC that runs 90% of games. And I'm sure that AAA titles with 720p resolution and setting and Low/Medium will go easly above Console 30FPS minimum.

      Jo-E using a psu is based on the power consumption of your system for example your cpu was the 65watts and your gpu was 220 watts then you should get a bare minimum of 450 watts just so you don’t bottle neck instead of getting a bare minimum psu if you get a 1600watt psu it’s not necessary for your system on top of that power efficient increase as thing tend to progress but again that is not a reason to get low watt psu as things like overclocking or even in instances of more powerful hardware still requiring more power

      @@Ajallday1010 There's a couple reasons why. The biggest one is that the latency of trying to use two cpu's on different sockets is huge, they cant work together and communicate fast enough for it to be beneficial (most of the time).
      But for the most part if you have tasks that benefit from lots of cores, you can pretty much get however many you need in a single cpu. There are server cpu's reaching up into the 64 core range. When this motherboard was made in 2010, I think the highest core count cpu was 6 cores. Crazy right? Thats only 11 freaking years.
      And while thats really cool, most of the software me or you would use would not see any practical benefit from that amount of cores. Maybe even worse depending on the software.

    The processor the motherboard had almost nothing to do with 4k playback Linus. It had everything to do with the modern video card stuck in it.
    If you wanted a true test at play 4K playback turn off hardware acceleration in chrome.
    Then re-run your test otherwise your test was pointless.
    If you stuck a video card in from the time it would not have had to 4k decoding it would of been limited to 1440p at best.
    Older cards would only hardware accelerate 265 at 1080p then next gen did1440p and so on.
    You can playback at higher resolution but it would be on CPU not GPU. You can go on to nvidia's hardware descriptions for GTX cards and it specifically States the resolution that can run at 264 and 265 decoders.

      Yeah it all depends on what codecs the GPUs can decode. I don’t think any GPUs from the time really did any video decoding, or maybe basic codecs at most. For current UA-cam high resolution decoding you’ll need a card that supports vp9 which would be the 950, 960, and pascal and newer cards on the Nvidia side. Av1 is starting to be adopted by UA-cam and only tiger lake, ampere, and RDNA 2 cards will be able to decode that.

      Yeah I had one of those old CRT sony silicon graphics workstation monitors that was widescreen.

      An running pirated movies and early 4k UA-cam test footage at high resolution was always a dance between having a card that supported running said codec at higher than 1080p or having a fast enough multi core CPU to do it unaccelerated.
      They pull out this huge dual core Uber expensive set up and they throw in a modern video card and have it do all the work it's like saying here let me show you this amazing robot doing all these amazing things and then they bring out the assistant and the assistant is really doing everything while the other person is just standing there issuing instructions.

    Lot of information you have wrong or missing
    First this board will work with any 5000(no guarantee), 5100, 5300, and 5400 series Xeon chip and only needs one CPU to run, however one CPU will only allow 2 ram slots to work, each CPU directly address it's respective ram via the MCH.
    Second the nforce pcie switches were NOT needed to accomplish 4 pcie x16 slots, it was added because Nvidia wasn't going to allow sli at the time on a board that didn't use an nforce chipset, that also had the ability to do crossfire!
    The nforce chipset is connected directly to the MCH not the ESB
    The board chipset is a seaburg 5400 MCH and an ESB2 for a South bridge, both use thermal probes and thermal throttling. These are enterprise hardware not consumer
    The ram must be actively cooled as the MCH does need it as well. Repaste the North bridge, the factory had a issue with the MCH factory thermal paste and sent a notice about it, repasted drops it 30 degrees fyi
    The front USB ports are actually passed through a onboard hub and reduced to USB 1.1 not USB 2.0
    The rear esata ports and onboard data ports are all sata 2, the onboard ports are through the ESB2 and the rear ports are via a marvel6121(marvel61xx driver) controller, with shitty driver support.
    The motherboard will take 32gb of ram, I highly recommend it, helps performance alot
    If you want to optimize on the bios, turn off speedstep as this board has a bug with speed step causing the cpus to never clock back up, and turn off hpet, it causes serious stutter and slowdowns with this board
    You must connect the extra molex power at the bottom of the board or the vdroop to the board will cause a crash
    The happiest bus speed for this board is 1600mhz, something the qx9775 supports out of the box, xeons can be bus overclocked to this as well.
    Any other questions just ask, I've basically found everything you can do with the platform

    8K UA-cam worked fine because hardware acceleration was enabled, that offloads video playback to the GPU so it doesn't matter what crappy CPU you have as long as it covers the bare minimum.
    Also, CPU intensive task performance can be improved by tweaking task priorities and enabling "UseLargePages" if they use a lot of RAM (the Photoshop test).

    Dear Linus, It's not about Windows Task Manger being unable to End task. It's only about task manager not being able to show itself on top of the crashed apps by default. All you have to do is that go to Task Manager before any crash happens, Then click on Options menu on top menu bar, and activate the tick near Always on top. That way you can always have your task manger on top of any crashed app without anything else disturbing you from closing crashed or unwanted tasks.
