Save up your money.. Buy a graphics card when it is first released, and enjoy it! The GTX 980 had a life cycle of nearly 2 years before the GTX1080 was released. And the GTX980 is still fast for gaming! Especially once Overclocked! I love my Nvidia GTX1080 Founders Edition! I've adjusted the...

I would buy a Intel i5 6400. They cost roughly $179.99. Or look for a used 6600k for around 175-190 Yes the i5 6400 can be overclocked to 4.75Ghz on average via bclk in the BIOS. Look it up! The i5 6400 or, a 6600K running at stock speeds all the way to 4.6+Ghz cannot be bottlenecked by any...

Im running a gtx 1080 over clocked, with my 6600K @4.61. In Overwatch EPIC graphics, everything maxed out, 100% resolution slider at 1080P my avg fps is 200-260. Minimum fps is 168, GPU utilization stays at 99% so, its not bottlenecking my gtx1080. I doubt its doing it with a 390

I run mine at 4.61Ghz with 1.344volts and my QPI link is at 4.61 also. It stays well under 90C at 100% load stress test. It never hits 100% load, and it has a 100C temp thresh hold. It doesn't bottle neck my gtx 1080 either

I run a 6600K i5 at 4.6Ghz, and it cannot bottleneck my GTX1080, even it is heavily over clocked too. And this is playing at 1080P also. Just about every game is running around 180-300 frames per second maxed out at 1920*1080. 99% GPU utilization! If I were to run SLI GTX1080's this is where...

Just figured I would add some insight to this thread, I have a i5 6600K and a GTX1080 with 16GB of DDR4. I have my 6600K overclocked to, 4.61Ghz. I believe 93%+ of all of 6600K's can achieve a miniscule overclock of 4,680+ MHz or higher. They all overclock extremely well! I use Sony Vegas Pro...

This is a old thread but I wanted to answer to it because, I have a 6600K and a GTX1080. First of all, the GTX980 was out for 12 months before the 980Ti was released. And the GTX 980 4GB had a total life cycle of (22) months before the GTX1080 was even released. That means the GTX1080 has...

By the way, Great comments everyone! I ran Nvidia only for quite some time. It's nice to see how much support , and praise the RX480 is receiving . I have been running my RX480 8GB for about 2 weeks now. And I just love it. Phenomenal DX12/Vulkan performance. Great job AMD!

I know a gtx 1060 will not beat my AMD RX480 8GB. I took my RX480 box stock, just turned power limiter up and pulled a 14,300 in firestrike with Tess on. My RX480 has a ASIC QUALITY of 91.5% once overclocked to 1400/2250 my scores jump to 15,237 in firestrike. At this point, I am at the wall...

The P9X79 Pro has Blutooth only. The P9X79 deluxe has blutooth, and wifi

Yes! A 4960X will work, you do NOT need a new motherboard. Just update the bios, so it supports Ivy-E processors . And the R4 X79 motherboard supports SLI too! Getting the newest A09 bios will support a 4960X, and the GTX 980 cards in sli. Fast gaming rig there! Wow lol math geek lol. He...

Lol if you think replacing a 3960X "6" core Intel i7 with a I7 6700K then you are wrong, or not thinking correctly. You will be losing 24 PCI-E lanes, you will also be losing 2 cores, and bye bye 4 logical processors too, and say goodbye to quad channel memory. Buy a cheap X79 motherboard ...

Other similar chips, the Intel i7 5960X is the fastest. And at only 3Ghz is rules them all. Lol A Xeon 1660 V3 is a 5960X, which both are unlocked also! Although, the Xeons have proven to OC better. As the i7 5960X flagship is a Xeon leftover part. So the Xeon 2630V3 is a 5960X that is locked...

The Xeon E5 1650 V3 is essentially the exact same thing as a , i7 5930K. Do not be fooled! This Xeon 1650 V3 is unlocked, just like the 4790K. Accept, the Xeon is a 6 core 12 thread monster. It is usually binned better than i7 chips. So overclocking it to 4.5Ghz is not a problem, and it will...
