Wish Intel sell delided version of their CPU for those who wants it. Or make the lid part of the installation process where one would install like a heatsink. Of course, the mounting would be all builtin into the motherboard socket mounting mechanism. That way you can choose your own thermal...

This is good and bad for consumers. Good because I save money, bad because improvements are so small with each generation.

I'm not surprised. How would you sell your product if your ad says only ~4% faster. Something like "4-20% faster" would be better. I'd personally would like a piece of software that runs as a service and records how many cores i'm using for a few weeks then give me a distribution graph of how...

I'd sacrifice the benefits of the 7700k for the better overall performance I'd get with the 6950X. You might not feel the IPC advantage, but you'll feel the extra cores when doing multi core related tasks.

I went from an X58 i7 960 4.6Ghz to a X79 4960X 4.6Ghz and saw an appreciable improvement everywhere. Everything just felt more snappy. Games ran about 15-20% faster, which IRL is actually more noticeable than one would think.

Their stuff is nice but they stop innovating and is lacking behind.

I don't see the real gun in VR so I don't mind just holding something that feels like a gun and seeing it look like a gun in VR.

VR has really good potential with games that make you exercise, but I'd like someone to solve the problem of sweating all over the headset. Perhaps an ACTIVE version of the headset.

Which is unfortunate when higher resolution headsets come out.

I hope an upgrade kit is provided as well as the Vive 2 when it comes out. Wishful thinking though.

Cross your fingers you might get lucky. I have had an unexpected upgrade once or twice

I'd wait for SLI 1080TI

Just think of it as future proofing. I had 680s that lasted me until recently. 3+ years is a good run

Wish Nvidia would do something about these scalpers. It took 2 months for me to buy the 1080.

I had really good experience with EVGA's customer service. Good luck to ya.
