I'll be testing it, I really just wanted an extra rad and res. But fuck it.

Really need to just reapply paste on my 7950 and see if that fixes it. Been running unusually hot recently.

You think that heats ink can keep the 1060 cool enough.

?

im upgrading my PC

i3 6100, DDR4 16gb, new mobo, new GPU

Why the i3 non k? What do you do on your pc?

I think it's the K

cause there's only two the i3 6100 and the i3 6100T

the T is the locked one

can't overclock any i3

I thought the 6100 was only unofficially unlocked then they locked it down with a microcode update.

well, not technically true

i thought the i3 6100 was an exceptionally good processor

that you can overclock

I made the mistake of getting an e5-2600 series not realizing they're locked down tighter than a nun's asshole

before intel jew'd everyone and stopped the overclocking I heard it was pretty amazing

It was hilariously good in single threading. Any game that favored dual cores ran better than i7s.

hopefully zen will put intel in their place and they will stop doing this shit

but I doubt it

Well, I think zen at best will just close the gap. Hopeful for haswell e performance. But probably closer to somewhere between ivyb and haswell with all shiny new features. Which would be great.

tbh that's all they need to do

I was really hype for it before I bought this used pc

now I don't need to upgrade for a while

AMD's prices will allow most people to use their stuff

for a long time

while Intel takes their sweet time

I was just thinking about this last night though. If they make hexa core cpus. They will undoubtedly be deactivated 8 core units. This provides no guarantee which cores get deactivated, but if they do 1 / module and leave the l3 cache untouched... Well you got some potential there for best perf/$ in a long time.

AMDs stocks sold out

Reason: Mining shitty cryptocurrency :3

well with gayming moving to vulkan/dx12 there is no reason to stick to 4 cores anymore

so more the better I guess

According to synthetics 6 core with smt has the best scaling, the gap between that and a straight 8 isn't that spectacular. And smt barely helps 8 core units. Just depends on the money, though.

All you need to have is a CPU you are sure kan keep up with GPU

Plenty people bought FX due to simple needs

the bad AMD Bulldozer cores

Where I live RX 480 is being sold for the same as GTX 1060

I mean its 5 years later and they are still kind of relevant, a pretty good purchase if you made it back then in my opinion

So it's already decided what I'll buy

@Christian Ly indeed

Piledriver at least managed to beat out the 1100t, barely. They should have just slapped 2 phenom x4's onto a single dye. Fuck. Steamroller is actually pretty acceptable, too bad they didn't put it into their fz lineup.
