Is LGA 2011 better than 1150?

[sebastian869]

Im try to figure out should i get the i7-4770k or i7-4820k and there is a descent list of advantages to the 4820k. My question is the LGA2011 inferior to the 1150 or if not then is it possible that the chipsets are different and u can buy better mother boards for the 2011 than the 1150?

P.S. Which chipset would u guys recommend.

Thanks,
Sebastian

For most things 4770k.

There is NO reason to go for the 4820k above the 4770K. UNLESS you have a use for more PCI-e lanes, which I can not see happening since 1150 already can do tri GPU cards with no effort.

If you are going to be doing triple or quadruple graphics card configurations there will be a benefit to have lga 2011.

Yep in a single or dual GPU configuration there is no reason whatsoever to go with a 2011 socket, Unless you plan to do a lot of video rendering and need 64 gb of memory, that would honestly be the only reason I would consider 2011 a viable option.

The thing is i hear that answer a lot that only if u need 4 way sli does 2011 make sense but from what ive see the 4820k has a lot more better features then the 4770k and the argument u made is not a reason why NOT to go with 2011 or 4820.

not really. considering its already been shown that 8x vs 16x in multi card configs doesn't make much of a difference if any at all. (this is assuming he plans on buying a 1150 board that accommodates SLI properly w/ a PLX chip)

its an 8x 8x with two graphics cards but and 8x 4x 4x with three graphics cards on 1150.

The haswell chip is faster clock for clock for starters. the z87 platform also offers a lot of nice perks as opposed to the older chipset. I wont lie, its a close call, but I would personally choose the 1150 and it will also save you a few bucks on the cpu end of things. If you are gonna use tri sli + you will obviously need a board w/ a PLX chip due to the haswells pci lanes (or lack thereof)

Imo the x79 is more hardcore and is used for semi servers. Its the best consumer platform you can get. So, x79 > z87.
But it costs a lot more and doesn't give much benefit unless you need 8 slots of ram, 12 threads, and 3+ gpu's

All depends what your using it for. Server wise if u need a ton of ram sure, or professional workstation u can't beat it... But the z87 is more mainstream and has all the newest tech/features.

For what you gain (basically 2 more cores) in comparison to what you lose... It's not even close to an arguement. Cost of chips is just silly.

I wasted money on an ivy e and I will never do that again. Compared to my buddies new haswell rig all I feel like I gained was whatever bragging rights come with spending 2x as much for a board and chip 😛

To each their own. Pick a board from each chipset, and then go over the features each platform provides. Assuming nothing is a deal breaker on either side, bring the cost Into the equation levied against how long u intend to keep them both, and you will have your answer. (This is of assuming you aren't Keanu reeves in disguise and money is an option for you)

do u guys hyper thereading even makes a difference these days for games and first person shooters in particular (or will it in the near future)?
thx for all the help

 

[sebastian869]

BTW., if i got with the 4770k whats the best mobo/chipset to go with
(ive always gone w/asus, cant complain)
