What scores are you getting on the 4790k?

I have not benched it .I swapped out the 4770k and dropped it in bumped up the voltage a touch and ran intel burn test for 6 hours and it was stable at that speed so just left it at that . Runs warm but a little less than the 4770k .

Quad channel memory breaking 50GB/s memory bandwidth on just 2133mhz RAM. Monstrous. 5960k might cost a fortune now, but there will be more consumer parts closer to it soon enough

So im sort of stuck in a rutt as they say .I can upgrade to the 5820k on the x99 platform next payday which is 17 september ,can sell my 4790k kit today for 350 so wont cost to much and its only a few weeks away . Havent seen game benches to compare but the bandwidth is crazy and multithread software eats up those extra cores . Or do i wait for skylake ... Grrrr dont know what to do .Watch this space

This x99 is the true replacment for x58 in my eyes .will last just as long and at end of life you can snap up cheap server chips as old servers are broken down and sold off cheap .As an example you can pick u a Xeon 5650 6 core cpu for about 70 pounds that gives a 4790k a run for its money .Those on x79 now will be picking up 12 core xeons for silly money in a year if they hold onto there gear .

So after a long think i decided against x99 and instead bought a gtx980 Not a massive upgrade but only 100 notes more after selling the 780 and these overclock like crazy . Roll on tuesday

I tend to wait a year before considering purchasing a new processor, that way I will know if it a flop or not. It also allows manufacturers to make a good motherboard if it is a good processor.
If there are only six to twelve different motherboards for a processor, go look for another processor.

I'm due a bunch of upgrades but I'm not buying until next year. It is quite difficult to choose a platform right now that will last a long time, and it's hard to tell if Nvidia will launch their big beasty Maxwells in 6 months. If they do it'll probably be some Titan chip first and then mainstream stuff later.

Hope they call the next gtx 1080 and market it as a beyond 1080p chip really dedicated to 2160p gaming

The 980 and 970 are maxwell if i remember correctly

Jays 2 cents on youtube got a 1500mhz plus oc on the gigabyte gtx 970 hitting ~60c Also the power consumption is improved.

970 is easily the best price to performance out of that and the 980, I see a lot of people are going 970 SLI instead of getting a 980

Buy now sell up next year a month or so before release . i sold my 780 for 320 a month ago and yesterday the price dropped through the floor and you can get a 780ti for around 280.

Yeah they are maxwell but on 28nm ,The 20nm cards due around christmas time next year will be 20nm .170w mawell on 20nm is going to be a crazy overclocker.

Anyone know what's the model number of the new intel 6core so I can read bout it thanx

i7 5820k and 5930k

The i7 5960x is the 8core

Cool cool thanx alvar (handshake)
