[SOLVED] Xeon processor for rtx 2060 ?

[genar]

I bought myself a rtx 2060 and my current processor ( Xeon W3550 ) is a big bottleneck.

My motherboard doesnt support other cpu's and i cant upgrade that one currently, so my only option is to get a better xeon processor.

What processor would you recommend to reduce the bottleneck for my rtx 2060 ?

and what the motherboard make and model?

Its a dell t3500 motherboard... it just accepts xeon processors

I'd recommend an e5 2667 v2

The top 3 cpu scores appear to be from:
W3690 - https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...0-12m-cache-3-46-ghz-6-40-gt-s-intel-qpi.html
W3680 - https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...0-12m-cache-3-33-ghz-6-40-gt-s-intel-qpi.html
X5690 - https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...0-12m-cache-3-46-ghz-6-40-gt-s-intel-qpi.html

W3690 and X5690 are identical as far as cpu clockspeeds, so go with the cheaper one, I guess.
Whichever you decide to go with will probably require a bios update.

Ignore the E5 2667 V2 suggestion, as it fits a different socket.
