no, those are Ivy Bridge

orly

neat

v2 is sandy bridge

I have an Ivy Bridge E i7 4820k

ah nice

yeah, the 3000 series was on the LGA 1366 boards

It has great single-thread and multithread, but I want more multithread for encoding

same with X5000 series xeons

the turbo boost from that generation was shit

I was thinking i7 8700k but I want an 8-core for the most possible versatility

it didn't have multi-step, and it was either all or none as far as cores go

so you either had all of your cores turbo boosting, or none

when it comes to CPU's a high single-thread performance 8-core with hyptread is pretty future proof

gonna last like 4 years ez

4th gen fixed that

I'm looking to upgrade to some 2670 v2's when they start retiring those and the price goes down

right now they're like 250 for one

the 2680 v1's that I got were 110 each

also the cool thing with an 8-core, make your primary 4-cores faster for gaming, and allocate 4 for streaming since they are under the consistent load of the encoding you have set

I wouldn't buy a xeon though, this is for personal rig

this is my personal rig

honestly love them, it's still snappy

so I want 8700k st with 8core multi

but the st is so low with xeons

it's slower, you're right

great for media servers and video, but not for gaming alone

if you do gaming and recording, 8-core with high st is best imo

but for what I do, it's good, none of my games are all that hurt by it

so my graphics drivers just vanished from my computer

what do you do?

yeah, 8 cores is the best balance right now

@Sverd

that actually has happened to me before

like 3 times in the last 5 years

happened to me once

praise nvidia

@Sverd windows has that issue especially when you have multiple gpus installed on risers. how many gpus are u running? just reinstall them.

who wants a very high quality version of "nights in white satin" in FLAC

it's just irritating

fucking around with reinstalling drivers
