I am looking at running the EVGA SRX classified as my new board.
For a primarily gaming rig with a small side order of modding (textures/code/renders/etc).
I am just wondering if anyone has one, or a decent review?
Curious as to whether or not the dual xeons cpus (probably 2.3ghz 6 core, x2), will shred gaming as good as a top end corei7, and if not, is it really a user perceivable difference?
((plan on upgrading the cpus to higher end xeons in the future, but for initial build would obviously rather put it into better/more vid cards/ram.))
I have heard from more than a few sources, that they dont handle as well as i7's for gaming.
Anyone got thier hands on her yet, or even a review/benchmark?
Dont let cost ($) factor in! Just looking for performance based advise.
Thanks for your time.
