RTX 3090ti on x58 series motherboard

[PurSpyk!!]

I know this is a very odd combination, but some videos on YouTube show a rtx 3090 running on x58 series motherboards and doing well considering the age of the platform. Would the RTX 3090ti work on an ASUS P6T deluxe board, combined with an x990 extreme processor overclocked to 4.5GHz?

5 gen is extremely weird and overpriced&overrated. so useless, funny, if i'm not mistaken there were 2 cpus only lol

There are the Broadwell-E processors like the 6800k through 6950x. Despite Intel giving these a 6-series naming designation, these are 5th Gen processors.
I bought a used Rampage V board a few years ago and then I bought a cheap 6950x last year. Then I bought a 5775c from a guy on Offerup and put that into a z97 board. Broadwell does alright but it doesn't overclock all that well.

You already know the answer from the previous conversation here

The CPU will be the limit, and no one can tell you where that limit is since it varies per game, and even per second in those games

If a game runs badly on a CPU, no GPU change will ever improve that

I use my 1660 gpu and x570 chipset with pci-ex 1(adjusted from bios) there is no performance issue that I know yet.

It should be illegal to have 990X with so low clocks..

It is totally not worth to invest in X58/X79 and X99 is debatable. Main reason is power. They would perform normally only under heavy OC, but they consume current like hogs, I had all of those platforms. Their performance is heavily crippled due to exploit mitigations. In linux you can turn them off at boot, in windows only partially as the they are baked in kernel.

I am afraid it is not worth trying, just buy a new CPU/MOBO/RAM combo.

On air that's a decent overclock?

I'm afraid the X58 platform is beyond overclocks at this point. It's 14 years old, and these 32 nm chips are well over 12, it's just time for it to ride into the sunset altogether. Their performance no longer holds up to entry level parts of today.

Of course, they will always be fun - and to many folks, useful, for as long as their motherboards last, at the very minimum.

X58 carries one plus. Native PCI slot and compatibility with legacy OS, making a good choice running legacy hardware like Retro gaming setup.

Yup, agreed. I feel like it's the perfect bridge between PCs of the 2000s and the modern ones, especially if you have a motherboard that has lots of legacy connectors and slots, like the Rampage 2 Extreme. Best dang board I've ever had.

If you're psu can handle the power draw. It should work. But you will have cpu bottleneck and maybe also by only having pcie gen 2 available as well for such a powerful gpu. I would not recommend doing it. You will see often that you can not utilize the gpu to its full potential.

Before jumping to Zen 3, I also had a X58 with i7 980x cpu oc to 4.4 ghz and a gtx 1080 TI. Even with that gpu, I had cpu bottleneck at times in some games. It depends on how cpu and gpu heavy a game is. You would be best of by playing in 4k to have the least bottleneck possible.

But short it should work, but not with out bottleneck.

right, and if you're already planning a new CPU in the near future, threres nothing wrong grabbing this massively-discount card today!

 

[liquidplasma]

Sounds like a crazy combination, what were the results?

 

[ShiBDiB]

You can buy a new cpu/mobo/gpu/ram for the cost of one 3090 that will perform better and allow actual upgradability in the future.

 

[skizzo]

I stopped gaming on my X58 system, a 2009 Mac Pro over 2 years ago now when I built my current Z390 system for the reason the CPU bottlenecks were leaving something to be desired.....and it has one of the best CPUs this socket supports, X5690

If you're playing "light" games it's doable.....if you wanna play something modern that pushes hardware like Assassin's Creed....have fun playing at 720p and 30FPS (max) at low settings....and that's a best case scenerio lol

 

[Mussels]

I googled this and someone had actually done this testing

X58 + RTX 3080 - The Definitive Review : intel (reddit.com)

X58 + RTX 3080 Review

It's not unusable, but obviously when you arent maxing out settings like RTX, the differences show better

The 1% lows sit around the 50FPS mark in DX11 and 12 titles, and that's a pretty good summary of what to expect

broadwell-E is different stuff still. all HEDT was and is much pricier to consider for general "gaming" use

Indeed.



Yet, out of the quad-core performance mainstream segment CPUs from gens 2-7, it was probably the one that aged the best out of the bunch, with its performance quite close to an i5-10600K in gaming. Reason? Same as the 5800X3D. Games at the time didn't really require so much bandwidth which is why the 4790K usually came out on top due to raw frequency alone, but the 5775C has aged exceptionally well.

many hype-out with their 4790K lilke "it's still good". 6700K/7700K is absolutely SAME as i3-10100F and 8-9 gen 6/12 cpus lol. so they "age" also very greatly.

Broadwell-E chips cost next to nothing these days. Even the i7 series for consumer segment are priced like dirt because of the Xeon pressure. The 10th gen i3 is better due to multiple errata and vulnerability fixes, the latter of which can affect the processor quite heavily. If you own a motherboard and need a low-cost, low-security server or WS, these are pretty much the current go-to.

well, mostly even on the aliex... consumer cpus are still much higher than xeons lol. only very old cpus are normally priced. most however are overpriced. that's why i always laugh watching local idiots trying to sell their old i3-s, i5-s and i7-s with prices nearly they got them or at least same as new cpus which are same performance-wise lol

My current X99 platform was around price of 5600X + cheap-ish X570 or 12400 + decent B660.
Problem was, neither of them offered enough PCI-e lanes that I wanted at that price.
Broadwell isn't as impacted on vulnerability side as older platforms, but you can still mod BIOS to delete those fixes to get "full performance".
