    Upgrade 3570k to 7700k or wait?

    You seen little to no benifit from the 4790k to a 7700k that was a waste of money imo.To official poster your best bet would be to go to a 3770k since you already have the 3570k in there.dont do a complete overhaul for a 10-15 percent increase it is not worth it

    Hi all i currently have an I7-3930K and a 980 ti my question is how much further can i go with this cpu before it starts becoming a bottleneck for the gpu?I can only get it stable to 4.2 ghz but was thinking of possibly upgrading to a 5820k for ddr 4 memory has anyone done this upgrade and if so...

    3770K -> 7700K a bust?

    I would not at this point upgrade from a 4 core to another 4 core it makes no sense.If you do an upgrade go for a 5820k or something its more future proof as more and more games are starting to take advantage of more then 4 cores.Or wait till august when intels new 6 cores come out.I went from...

    I need a new GPU to pair with my Ivy Bridge i5, what should I choose?

    gtx 960 would be a good card for your rig anything more you would start bottlenecking with that cpu

    I went from an r9 290 pcs powercolor which ran very cool to a gtx 980 ti yes i could see a difference but wish i had waited for the 1080ti i find it funny how everyone acts like all r9 290's run hot sure the reference ones do but most of us have aftermarket cards my powercolor pcs 290 stays...

    Video card upgrade for older machine

    will be a slight bottleneck but not to bad and with you running at 2560x1600 might not be a bottleneck at all.you would see more of a bottleneck running at lower res

    RX 470 8GB @ $206 or GTX 1060 6GB @ $235?

    1070 or 980ti?

    I find it funny that people bring up new tech vs older tech who really cares?for most of us it is about raw performance and really most of us will never get into virtual reality so if that is your gig go for the 1070.Im pretty sure side by side you will not notice the difference from one to the...
