    Gtx970 vs 1050Ti using a i5-2400 @ 3.1Ghz quad core

    I already have a 970 with a i5-2400. I am wondering if i will notice a performance decrease in gaming if i downgrade to a 1050Ti (My friend is offering me a straight swap for a brand new 1050Ti). I am thinking my CPU is bottle-necking my 970 anyway so in theory it wont be much of a difference...

    Is buying a dual Xeon rig for gaming a gamble that might pay off?

    I am thinking of building a rig using 2x xeon E5-2670 v3's. I know that for games right now it is not ideal but I am thinking it might come into its own as games support more threads in the future.

    Can 32bit CPU's only handle 32bit values?

    Thanks guys. So I now understand the all the hardware in the IC needs to have 64bit data paths in order to execute 64-bit instructions in one clock cycle. I am struggling to grasp what word size is, at the moment I understand it is the maximum processable value in one cycle?
