E5450 CPU for gaming? (Processor Enthusiats, help!)?
I have an old school Precision T7400 with an LGA771 socket; despite the 1080 TI GPU and 20gb of ram the CPU is horrific (E5410)
I am waiting for my dual E5450s so I can see if there’s any performance enhancement to playing Diablo, Starcraft and Warcraft but I’d like to know has anyone had any experience with the E5450 for gaming; is it decent to run games in normal settings? Does it bottleneck the GPU?
I already know using an ancient machine is already a pain but I’ve invested in ram and GPU and its working excellent; I just want a better gaming experience without shelling $800+ for a gaming rig; the E5450 is the best in socket for the LGA771 slot but any feedback is appreciated!
Thanks!

X5492 3.4 would be better but a X5272 3,4 would be faster with much lower power and heat for gaming

Xeon CPUs are generally horrendous for gaming. That is because they are designed for running lots of tasks at the same time.
Games on the other hand, perform better on CPUs that have fast cores. That's why Intel's 4 core CPUs are by far the winners in gaming performance, because they've got the fastest core speeds.
Getting two Xeon CPUs isn't going to be any help, it'll just be a waste of money. Most games don't take much advantage of more than 4 threads, so having a second CPU will just leave even more CPU cores sitting idle while the game struggles to run on the few slow cores it can handle.
Here are some examples for you:

Ryzen 5 benchmark:

Look at the single core score on the two CPUs. If you look at newer Intel i5s and i7s they will have an even faster single core score.
And finally, are you really trying to use a 1080 ti with that old of a processor???
