With higher resolutions like 1440p and 4k, you don't need AA as much, just see it as a replacement for higher AA.

I was just poking fun, the i7 5820k is only $300 at Microcenter, which is a great price compared to other i7 processors (and in general). The only AMD processor with similar multithreaded performance is the AMD FX-9590 at $220, but Intel has the edge in wattage, and depending on the benchmark...

I got a i7-5930k for $240, glad to know I should of got a $40 AMD processor instead.

Give it 3+ years for most games to be DX12. Unreal Engine 4 has been publicly released for over a year, and there's only been 2 or 3 notable games released with it, and there's still a ton of UE3 games in development, including Gears of War Ultimate Edition, Batman: Arkham Knight, Mortal Kombat...

That doesn't fix the game's performance, every report I've seen says it runs like with even with every GameWorks feature off. It's an Unreal Engine 3 game, the consoles have higher graphics settings, and a better framerate. It's capped at 30 FPS by default, There's no way a PC should be running...

And the publisher, who typically manage more of the business and shipping end (and who don't give out early PC press copies).

Why does everything have to be AMD vs Nvidia? The developer/publisher released a shitty PC game without any review copies prior to release. They should be the target of anyone's anger. All Nvidia wants to do with Gameworks is to show off their GPUs in certain titles with cool effects/features...

I have a q9450 build, but I'm selling it, couldn't find an ITX board to put it in for a HTPC build.

Looking to do a budget HTPC to use for emulation as well, want something small and clean enough that I can just leave it sitting on the TV stand. This was my first mockup, but it's about $100 more than I wanted to spend, where you you start cutting corners? PCPartPicker part list / Price...

Gotta use an Nvidia card, I use CUDA daily. I will probably get the best $300-ish GPU I can get if it starts becoming rare, otherwise I'll have to hope there's a good coverter for other cables to dual link DVI, but from what I've seen, there's very little dual link DVI options for anything.

Too bad my Korean panel needs dual link DVI, I'll be stuck using it for a while. Hopefully GPU manufactures keep it for a little while, I need a GPU upgrade.

I do like the idea of mid-high end gaming APUs, I'd rather put in a tower heatsink, also you could make some tiny motherboards if you don't need any PCI-E slot for the GPU.

Well a GTX 970 is 164 watts, i7-4790K is 88 watts, so 252 watts, I'd like to see them put that much performance in one chip.

Yes, games/game engines will still need to be properly optimized for 6 cores, developers might continue to only optimize for 4.

It's worth noting comparing GPUs from different manufactures and using different architectures using this test doesn't indicate better performance in actual games. This test is only useful for comparing APIs, CPUs, and GPUs using the same chip.

From what I've read, 240 FPS is the point where we stop being able to process any perceptible information from a flash of a high contrast image, I wonder if that's fast enough to get some "natural" motion blur with any effects and to no longer see any tearing. If it is, then 240 hz might a good...

I think my motherboard or CPU just isn't stable at 1.3 vcore. Seems to be stable at 1.265 vcore at 4.2 Ghz. Doing a few more stress tests to be sure. I think I'll try bumping up the CPU cache, as well.

I prefer Noctua coolers, quiet and great performance. The NH-D15 and D14 out perform many AIO coolers, at much lower noise levels.

This is confusing the hell out of me. When I've attempting an overclock, anywhere from 4.2-4.5 Ghz, my computer isn't freezing or BSOD, but AIDA64 will free after about 1-2 minutes and not start working again. But everything else works on the computer while AIDA is frozen, and I'm not getting...

The only reason I don't want to go wit Monoprice is they have a 5 dead pixel refund policy, and they cost more, I could get a pixel perfect on from Amazon, and easily be able to get a refund or return it if it has any issues within 30 days, but after that, the warranty is a lot less certain.

4k just isn't practical right now, takes too much gpu power and has poor UI support.

Intel recommends keeping your vcore under 1.35v, anything under that is pretty safe because they really do not want you to ruin their CPUs. Most overclockers try to keep it under 1.3v. The CPU itself does not thermal throttle until 90c. Though most people like to keep temps under 80c or 70c...

Thanks, setting that Cache Ratio to 30 and the CPU Load-Line Calibration to Level 1 seemed to do the the trick, ran 45x with vcore 1.3v and input voltage at 1.9 for 30 minutes, no issues. Tried bumping up to 46x, but BSOD when it landed on windows. I'll do a few hour test just to make sure it's...

Prime95 pulls more wattage than any real world application, it's good at telling you quickly if an overclock might fail over 24 hours with a less intense stress test, but it's probably not good for your CPU in the long run. If you are stable in other stress tests, and never get BSOD, I wouldn't...

What fixed multiplier should I use?

Do you think it's just the motherboard? I cannot find many reviews for the ASRock X99M Extreme4, and the only relevant one I found said they could not increase the multiplier either. It clearly states on the motherboard that it can overclock, but if it cannot increase the multiplier and run...

Tried input voltage at 2.0v and vcore at 1.25-1.3v, still wasn't stable even at 40x. Looks like this processor just doesn't want to overclock. I ran a 3 hour stability test at default settings again just to make sure it would pass, and it did.

I've been really wanting to try out a 120hz+ panel, but I prefer better color reproduction because I do some color sensitive work. The display needs to be matte and I cannot deal with dead/stuck pixels. I've been looking at pixel perfect korean panels, they are right at my budget and 1440p...

It looks like the A-Tuning messes with a lot of settings in the UEFI so I decided to reset the settings to default, load the XMP profile for the ram, change the storage/boot drive settings, and ran a stress test at the default settings. Only had an hour, but only had a max temp of 52c, with...

I've followed the guides: 1. Leave everything on default 2. Set the vCore to 1.3 V 3. Set the CPU Ration at 4.5 Ghz, and if it's not stable, work your way down. 4. Once you find a stable speed, try slowly lowering the vCore to reduce wear and temps. Well, I cannot get anywhere close to the...

I went from LGA 775 to LGA 2011-3 X99 (just keeping the GPU and storage), should I do a clean install?

I haven't spent too much time looking at bridges, I could move the back GPU up to make the bridge distance shorter. There's no x99 itx mobo.

I figured since the CPU heatsink could be larger in theory, that it wouldn't be a huge issue to have it after the gpu. Although if I had fans at the top and bottom you could easily reverse the case and test yourself. Maybe it would be quieter with 4 fans.

I figured the top would let out the most noise, so I was planning on putting a few layers of sound damping foam, but it could be thinned out, or I could make it foam or space for slim fans depending on your wants. Also didn't want open vents dust could fall in when the computer is off.

It's always really bothered me that computers, cases, and airflow typically don't work well together, there's a lot of 90 degree angles, perpendicular cooling, and working against hot air rising. I had the idea to use PCI-Express extenders with graphics cards that have vertically aligned...

I ended up getting a Intel retail edge 5930k for $240. Waiting on shipping, I have everything else. Newegg was a pain getting them to refund me for the $35 mail in rebate they advised but the motherboard didn't qualify for. Would of rather got the GIGABYTE GA-X99M-GAMING 5, but not paying $60...

Ugh, at least now I'll have an excuse to return it if the gigabyte is affordable. Hopefully Newegg's customer service is good about fixing an error like this, it was clearly advertised on the product page as $35 off.

I wish we had some prices, might want to cancel my order.

"This product has just arrived in the U.S and should be available in the market by next week. Please check Newegg for inventory between 12-10 to 12-12."

Found one I like better >.> time to return and order another http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816215323&Tpk=16-215-323
