Since the K6-2 500 only has a single core, its multi-core score is the same as it’s single core. When we factor in the improvements gained by parallel processing, the total performance improvement is 90,985.71%

If you plug a 4090 into a PCIex to PCI adaptor does that make the 4090 bottleneck the K6?

Don’t even think about it. The 4090 will not work properly on any 32-bit PC to begin with. It absolutely requires a 64-bit PC to even work properly because Nvidia has completely discontinued all driver support for all 32-but PCs after the early part of the GeForce 10 series (Pascal) era.

And even if the 4090 were to work on that K6-2, the GPU itself will be severely bottlenecked by the 32-bit 33 MHz PCI bus, which is equivalent to only PCI-e 1.0 x0.5.

So it would work like a 2.5" smoothbore nozzle hooked to a garden hose! :-D

Worse than that, even. With the water pressure turned all the way down to a trickle. at that. The 4090 would not have worked on a 32-bit PC no matter what at anything other than a fixed, very low, fail-safe resolution (say, 800x600) with a total of only 4-bit color (16 total colors).

It would be interesting to see it on say an FX60 system! ;-)

I honestly didn't think that question needed a /s...
