My 2600k has still never hit 60% capacity. Most games will get 2 or 3 cores running pretty good. A rare few will even use a fourth. I've never seen all the cores need to run at once. The geforce 660 is my bottleneck and it's the second graphics card I bought for this cpu/mobo. I payed a shitload for the combo cuz the i7s were newish then. 500 is a lot for a cpu/mobo to me. But totally worth it in this case. I'll have one of those 1080s at half the price a year or two from now before I need to start thinking about replacing the cpu, I'd bet.

I'm still rocking the 2600k I got for free because I worked on it. i bought a used computer off of an internet ad because my computer died and i needed a cheap replacement. some guy was selling his grandpas old computer for $150 and he didnt even know what the specs were just listed it as a "Lenovo computer". once i got it home and checked out the specs i found out it was like some top tier grandpa computer. the kind of thing you could get at Best Buy for $2000 a couple years ago (but why would you unless you were a grandpa who had no idea about computers?). like, it had a Intel i7-2600k and 8GB of RAM, but only a built in OEM graphics card

Igpus are still pretty sorry for any kind of 3D pretty game. But they're fine for most video applications.

But yeah I do play lots of vidja games, and it sure is nice to turn everything up to high and then maybe have to adjust AA and shadows before getting 60fps.

made a bad board choice 7 years ago so the best CPU I can get is an AMD 1090T (it's got SIX CORES WHOOOAAAA!!!) and that is what I have I pray that board dies sometimes so I have an excuse to get a new Intel chipset one it keeps up well enough with the MSI GTX 970 though; I guess it's got a bit of overclocking headroom so I could try that 16 GB RAM and a 500 GB SSD Originally built for 700 bucks with an HD5750 card and a 2.7 Ghz quad-core AMD processor with an HDD and 4Gb of RAM Whole thing hasn't failed me yet, but I feel like I'm due

Just get an i5 and a 1060 6GB. There. $500. Should probably be able to get everything else for another $500. I'm not counting monitors because gently caress you.

Selling my two 970's allowed me to buy a 1080. Playing Vive is great, and games like witcher 3 at 1440 with everything ultra including hair works, it stays around 70fps, great stuff. drat thing has rgb lighting onboard! LifeSunDeath fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Aug 19, 2016 |

steinrokkan posted:Optimally your system power consumption should be 50 - 60% of your PSU rating, but the efficiency of the supply can drop pretty drastically if you do that. So if Nvidia recommends 500W, you can run the card on something weaker, but it will lead to more heat, higher energy bills and probably reduced longevity on the PSU. Crap. I'm screwed.

i have a really old macbook that i got as a hand-me-down from a friend's work. i use it to play farming simulator '15, but it's technically below the minimum specs so it periodically crashes and the game has no autosave so I always end up losing some progress
