Anyone notice worse chroma on 1224? I swear red text on black black ground looks way worse than it did before.
I had ( http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1832238 ) up in a tab before the update, then came back several days later and I swear the red text looks like shit now compared to how...
I'm with yeah. Just jumped from Sandy to a 5820k the past week. Havn't gotten past turning up the multiplier and VCore numbers. I'm at 4.5ghz on 1.275 V at the moment. 4.6 and above doesn't seem to fly no matter how many volts I give it. Although I havn't tried running the memory at default...
Yeah I dont really care so much about that benchmark as you can easily find ones that show Skylake ahead by a bit. Point I'm trying to get across is that Skylake offers nothing over Haswell-e in performance clock for clock, and at the same time you get 2 less cores for about the same price...

Majority of these are 4.4 and above. Real life examples. Skylake the sample size is much smaller. 4.7ghz is reasonable, but you made it sound like a much larger swing than it is. You were saying H-e high end...
Just to confuse things even more, and watch you melt into a puddle.

Why does Skylake lose to X99 in almost every game here?
Where'd you get the idea that 4.6-4.7 is low end for Skylake. I've not seen any evidence that 4.8-5.0 will the average Skylake overclocks. And 4.4-4.5 is actually average OCs for X99.
Why are you telling me to get out of the thread when you're not even discussing the core issue of X99 vs Skylake for gaming. Clock for clock the worst you're going to do with X99 is equal Skylake, but in certain scenarios X99 will our perform Skylake.
Eh...in 1440p and 4k you won't be getting those 80 FPS. The 5, 10, 15%+ gains are greatly needed. Keep in mind OPs title states SIM gaming too. Higher chance of SIMs being CPU heavy. Cryengine seems to enjoy more cores, and Star Citizen is heavily based in Cryengine
lol at suggesting buying an S5 over an S6. I wouldn't touch anything Samsung pre Note 4. S6 is a great phone. It has some hangups, mainly Touchwiz still not being smooth all the time, but other than that... Camera is truly amazing, a lot of my shots look like they were taken by an amateur...
I know this is an outlier, but some games do use the extra cores. I'm with KickAssCop on this one. I went 5820k a day before Skylake release because I couldn't fathom buying another quad-core in 2015. Managed to get mine OCed to 4.5 ghz on 1.275 Volts and DDR4-3200.
And I will say.. I wasn't...
I think the "If you wait blah blah" arguement is dumb. There's definitely more strategic times to jump to tech than others. That said. No chance in hell Pascal comes out before October 2016, so if you can wait that long then go ahead. Otherwise get a 970 or 980ti, those will probably retain...
