New build, 64gb (8x8) on X79, will this break my overclocking leverage?

About to get flamed here, but I am probably gonna use the ram as a ram cache for my SSD to speed it up... 48gb ram cache at least =P

I am building a new box, specs are as follows: Rampage IV Extreme Core i7 3930k DH-D14 SE2011 Heatsink I am currently set to receive 16gb g.skill sniper LV dimms (1.25v, which I presume will give me a lot of overclocking headroom on the ram, being that it's 1.25v @ cas 9 ddr3-1600) Is...

(Poll) For next generation: will you go AMD Bulldozer or Sandy Bridge-E?

hehe, I'm no fanboy. I don't think cores are everything. I actually haven't had an AMD pc since my Athlon XP-M back in the day. But it does make me angry that I would have to spend $583 to get the actual next generation processor (core-wise)... Largely because I'm starting to see some games...

I agree on all counts. Sandy bridge E will be more expensive. Bulldozer to me will probably be like 75-85% of the performance, and quite a bit cheaper overall to build. Plus you get 8-cores.. So we'll see.

I guess you're right, but I don't think I can edit it. Personally, I don't think it matters what the benchmarks are. The Bulldozer CPU will not be as good as the sandy bridge-e, period.

I'm personally finding it really hard to figure out what to go. They seem both like really good options, AMD being a lot cheaper. Bulldozer 8-core will be $266 Sandy-Bridge E: - 4 core/8 thread will be $294 - 6 core/12 thread will be $583 I'm not leaving the extreme edition as an option...

Should I upgrade from a 6950 (6970 modded) to a GTX 580 for $50?

I'm gonna do it. What he explained to me was this, he's been trying to sell it for 2 weeks now for $400, then went down to $380, $360, and now $350. He's seen my card go for $300 and get sold apparently pretty fast. I am in Canada, so maybe the craigslist economy is slightly different, I...

I don't really know actually.. I'm gonna assume he could use the $50 more than the video card heh, and I presume if there's only about a 10% difference, he won't even feel it in games really so..

ah really you don't think so? I thought scaling issues like that were only related to SLI/CF graphics cards

Well, big deal though.. At the end of the year I'm going LGA 2011 anyway, and I'm only doing 1080p resolution.. Old sig too.

Hey all, I have an XFX HD 6950 2Gb.. pretty good card, overall I'm really happy with it. Here's the thing: A friend offered me his GTX 580 for my card and $50.. I'm not really sure I should pass it up. There's nothing I can't play in max everything for the most part (okay, maybe I get...

CS:S Do people really still play this?

I don't really have to read this all to comment really.. CS:S is about a 1/3rd the difficulty and quality of CS 1.6, and in both cases, they are a hard learn, but especially CS 1.6. There is a learning curve. I can't get friends who haven't played it to excel it, pretty much at all. You...

To the monitor manufacturers: 16:10 is 8:5, or did you not learn basic math?
