Question about PC upgrade.

[IzzYEnErDzI]

Hi everybody

I'm thinking about going up from my current setup (i5 3570K and SLI GTX770) to i7 5820K and SLI GTX1080. I read some stuff about comparesing Haswell-E and Skylake but it was always with single GPU.
Is it worth it? Would this be a good setup?

Thanks for the answer.

Is it worth it depends on what you would be using it for. What do you use your system for primarily?

 

[IzzYEnErDzI]

I mainly use it for 2k gaming and streaming/recording (4k in future), some video editing and from time to time some music stuff or 3D rendering for a friend. And also is there any difference between SLI x16/x16 and x16/x8 - 28 lines stuff?

 

[thejackal85]

In that case, yes, it would be worth it to upgrade. The upgrade would be justified as its resources would be used.

 

[IzzYEnErDzI]

Thanks for that.

No worries, if I can help with anything else, please let me know. If you feel I've answered your question, don't forget to hit "best solution" on your way out. Thanks!

Also could you tell me is there any difference between SLI with PCIe speed x16/x16 and x16/x8?

You won't really notice a difference in speed at all. Unless you manually time it and make it a point to pay attention to their differences, you won't notice.
