Should I wait until the Haswell refresh or Broadwell-D come out to upgrade my antique Phenom and switch to Intel, or are they likely to be more expensive?

If Z97 isn't going to have SATA Express, what exactly is it going to have that Z87 doesn't?

Do we know anything at all about Z97 except that it won't support SATA Express?

The 945 I tested on was 3.45Ghz. Thats not that far off from 3.7 of the 965 to be almost 2x as fast. You may not have had it in a power mode that keeps it from throttling down?

Don't forget Dwarf Fortress, where a main cause of a lost game is FPS death because it runs as fast as it can on a single core.

The only thing I don't like about the Maximus VII Gene is that apparently the same PCI Express lines are shared by the mPCIe slot, the M.2 slot, and one of the x1 slots. Why are they all there if we can only use one?! Edit: Factory Factory posted:Intel announced a new server SoC yesterday. It's the Xeon D, which marries Xeon E5 x86 cores with a cache-coherent FPGA on the same package. I want one just so I an load an M68000 core onto the FPGA and natively run the classic Mac OS.

Judging by past trends, what're the odds of a new crop of z97-compatible motherboards in the mid-to-long-term future that'd support a 4970k? I'm looking at buying a Maximus VII Gene to fit the case I've got (since it seems to be the best mATX motherboard that doesn't have a  KILLER NIC ), but if something newer and somehow better is going to come out before Broadwell, I can wait.

Factory Factory posted:Z also allows PCIe lane bifurcation for SLI and CrossFire graphics configurations (or really, for two or three high-performance PCIe devices regardless of use). H boards could be hacked the same way with a PCIe bridge, but that's more expensive than just using a Z in the first place. That reminds me... will single-GPU setup suffer from performance degradation if I put it in a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot instead of an x16 slot? I'm driving a 1080p monitor with it. Also, are modern SSDs likely to saturate the connection in a PCIe 2.0 2x slot, or are they not limited by connection?

SourKraut posted:While I don't think performance is going to suffer, why not just use the x16 slot? I think if I put an SSD in the second long slot on a VII Gene it'd knock the first one down from x16 to x8. I'm trying to figure out how much that'd hurt performance-wise. edit: and the reason I'd be doing that is complicated and involves m.2, miniPCIe, and a video capture card atomicthumbs fucked around with this message at 10:39 on Jul 27, 2014 |
