First experiments from Intel Core 2 and Nvidia RTX 50 games

Earlier this week we informed about the change of the NVIDIA driver, which opened recent crazy possibilities for DIY PCs. However, the dreams of the creators of Intel Core 2 systems enjoying the bizarre high Jinks from the NVIDIA RTX50 GPU, partly evaporated. Bob Pony, a technological enthusiast with Twitter (X), who first survived the driver’s change, returned, but his stories about “fights” are not exactly the news we wanted to hear.

To sum up, the latest NVIDIA GeForce controller supports the support of Intel processors with ERA Core 2 processors, because it no longer required processor operation for popcnt instructions. All this is all good and good, and Pony took on Twitter yesterday to “happily confirm that it is possible to use the NVIDIA RTX 50 series graphics card in the old system, such as Quad Intel Core 2”. In particular, they cooperated with their Old Core 2 Quad Q9450 with shamelessly newfangled RTX 5060 TI. “It works!” The pony celebrated and tilted the followers to avoid trying the same with RTX 5060 Non-Ti due to the PCIe X8 interface.

Then it happened that Pony quickly moved from taming in Windows 11 to try to launch newfangled games in their combination of May-to-S1 on September.

So Ray Traced games are not in a state of breakthrough systems, but many others can have decent performance. It would be great if the social media communities could start creating a list of compatibility. In the meantime, maybe we can keep an eye on this post in social media.

We can also say that the owners of Intel Core 2 systems are more attracted to older titles, which their previous graphic processor was not so great in acceleration. If that were the case, RT games would not be seen as a significant loss.
