This is just what I was looking for thanks for the replies. I may even go with an i5 as I'm sure it will be plenty powerful paired with the GTX 1080 and much cheaper. I forgot about i5s having 6 cores now so it will also work well in rendering
My current PC consists of:
GTX 1080 FTW
i5-4590
8gb RAM
RM550x PSU
My PC is slow with some games and even in windows, but my upgrade options are limited and I've came to the conclusion I have two options
1) Buy a Haswell i7 (4770,4790,etc) ~$150
2) Go all in with a completely new platform and...
I know that with a case wireless charging will work through it as long as it's not metal, but what if the case was like a battery pack that could charge wirelessly and charge your phone wirelessly? Could you still fit something like this into a form factor that isn't as bulky as a regular...
When I'm moving files my hard drive is only going at roughly 800 kb/s when in normally goes at 80mb/s ish. I've 2 hard drives my OS drive which is 500gb and goes at normal speed and a 1tb drive that is about a year newer than the 500gb. Any fix to this?
On my desktop when i hover on something or click on it it has a blue outline same with folders, but now the desktop still shows it but folders in file explorer don't. Any Fix to this?
For 4k video rendering then it will take extremely long with either CPU, but the i3 has 4 threads which are similar to cores but not as good. If I had to say the i3 would be worth it over the Pentium. The i3-7100 is cheaper than the i3 7300 (US at least) and will deliver similar performance, but...
The problem is not with your temperature I don't think that 80C max temp would throttle you CPU, but if your CPU usage is always pinned at 100% then when you have a intensive scene your CPU has no room to "give more performance"
My PC as of now consists of a:
GTX 750 ti (Sold my GTX 1060 the day of posting this)
i5 4590
8gb DDR3 1333mhz
ASUS H97M-PLUS
I'm going to have around $900 to make upgrades at the end of the summer and would like to know what upgrade path I should take? (not considering GPU price inflation)...
I'm selling my GTX 1060 6gb for what I bought it for at launch on Ebay ($300) and would like to find out when the GPU price inflation will "deflate"? I've heard Etherium is going to be discontinued around November, and with AMD's vega GPU's coming I figure they might help the prices by taking...
