Ivy or Sandy -E

[Arkanian]

Pretty Obvious Question. Do I get a Ivy or Sandy-E? Maybe I should wait for Ivy-E? Budget for MOBO + CPU ~ 1200.

The answer depends on whether you can use the 6 cores of SB-E or want to run 3 or more GPUs.

Yeah, a little more information would help here...

The answer depends on whether you can use the 6 cores of SB-E or want to run 3 or more GPUs.

And for most people the answer to those questions is no. So unless you are an edge-case user, you would proabbly be better off with Ivy.

I'd go with Ivy. At the end of the day, its the faster proc and for those very few things where you'll actually use 6 cores, the IB will still be plenty fast at them.
