No..even GTX275 with Pentiun D just like 9600Gt maybe worst like 8600GTS only

I got a live Example here:
When I using Pentium D 3.2Ghz with 8800GTS 320mb playing that time biggest game Test Drive Unlimited with 1440x900 maximum all setting is 22FPS Average . When I SLI 8800GTS 320mb it is 27FPS Average

Now I change to C2D E6850 3Ghz single 8800GTS 320mb in 1440x900 is 32FPS average it was even higher than my old time SLI result
Then I SLI it with my New C2D result is 40FPS Average.

On 3D mark 06 That Time
PentiumD 3.2Ghz with 8800GTS 320mb in all default setting result is 64xx
PentiumD 3.2Ghz with 8800GTS 320mb SLI in all default setting result is 72xx
C2D E6850 3ghz with 8800GTS 320mb in all default setting result is 94xx
C2D E6850 3Ghz with 8800GTS 320mb SLI in all default setting result is 12xxx



So you see the Big diffrent? Pentium D is too slow works well to 8 series card already...now you put GTX200 series work with that Old slow Pentium D....LOL....u will DOOM!!!

Added on July 9, 2009, 2:39 pmaltho my mobo can support C2D, but i think the problem i'm currently facing with my 8800gt shutting down when i play some games like Anno 1404, might have something to do with my mobo being unstable.

support both pcie ver. no prob, i've been using 88GT which is pcie2.0 but mobo is pcie 1.0. working perfectly. it's backward compatible.

mine also p35 mobo, asus brand, no problem at all using gtx 260
what is ur current graphic card?
if the performance difference not very big, better save $$ & wait for DX11 graphic card

yeah i had tat board b4.

fitted gtx280 4870 4870x2 on it with no problem...

oh and by the way since u looking for gtx260+ see my sig below hehe.

currently using 8500GT

ah.. since it'll work normal then i guess i don't have to be bothered about the PCIE 2.0 and PCIE 1.0

thanks for the replies guys

is nvidia better fit with pentium proc than amd?

i think its better with amd..but amd proc heat up very fast

no such BS

it will go well with either intel or amd

and to the below comment stating it should be better wif amd...im surprised u din mention ati

some ppl talking crap again ~ haih .

amd sudah tidak panas doh

amd has update the heat problem, i think nowadays no prob with that..

huh still got ppl bring up the crap?

go with core2/pentium E will have no problem la.

didnt try amd coz pocket not deep.

. dont make joked la dude.please google first.nowdays the gc now heat compare to processor.

yeah that's right..gc produce more heat than processor

they(gpu) endure more temps than the sissy cpu hehe.
