So I pulled the trigger on an i7-5930K rig. System includes Asus x99 Deluxe, 4x4Gb 2400Mhz DDR4 ram, 1000W EVGA Supernova Gold, H105i water cooler, SX900 256Gb SSD and a pair of R9 270 in crossfire.
Problem is, it's barely outperforming an i7-4700MQ laptop with only 8Gb of DDR3 and a non-SSD drive. At most, the i7-5930k system is 15% faster when I ran Nero 12 and AVS Video converter. Even turning off the energy saver mode on the 5930k and overclocking it from 3.5 to 4.1 Ghz barely made a dent in improving computational time.
Any ideas of what might be causing a bottleneck?
Can't see the absence of Quicksync on the 5930k is causing these disappointing results.
