    GTX680 vs GTX980 - 3dMark inside

    So, I wanted to see what a better processor would do with my GTX680 so I brought it into my new workstation which is a Xeon E5-2665 and was surprised that it didn't really do THAT much better. http://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/3092484/fs/3088812

    GTX680 vs GTX980 - 3dMark inside

    yeah, I'll eventually upgrade my PC... mainly to save some money on my electricity bill. but I do not NEED to upgrade my PC... not this year at least

    GTX680 vs GTX980 - 3dMark inside

    also, the unfortunate truth that I do NOT, in fact, need a new PC... because these Xeons are still beasts.

    Twin Xeon 5600 enthusiast motherboards?

    yeah. not even worth selling it. some are selling for $700... some for less than $300. hell, maybe I'll buy these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Xeon-X5660-2-80GHz-Six-Core-SLBV6-Processor-Lot-of-2-/121171254073?pt=US_Server_CPUs_Processors&hash=item1c365e9b39

    Is my workstation/gaming rig worth anything?

    Might as well just keep it til it dies at that. It plays BF3 ultra @ 1200p @ 75fps

    Is my workstation/gaming rig worth anything?

    yeah, I've been trying to sell the Xeons on ebay... but they're not worth much it seems. like $250ea... I'm wondering if it would be worth selling the entire rig with a GTX 570 for like $1000?

    Best X58 Motherboard available today?

    the problem is I have TWO X5647s. I'm considering trading one of them for an X58 motherboard. right now it has 12GB on it (3 chips on mainboard. 3 on daughter board.) there's 6 slots on the mainboard and 3 on the daughter (not sure if I can use the other three on the mainboard to be honest)

    Twin Xeon 5600 enthusiast motherboards?

    So, might be worth it to find a good X58 for cheap and go single socket? will still consume less power than two Xeons on the same board. Perhaps I could trade my second processor for an X58 motherboard...

    Is my workstation/gaming rig worth anything?

    it's actually not all that 'big' but it is heavy (it's about 18"x18"x7")
