This video extremely changes things. 7900x losing out to Sandybridge in some cases. Makes going Xeon that much more attractive!
Great gaming review of the E5-2680
Had no idea the 7900x had so much architecture changes that really change how it...
While I don't disagree with the statement, you know that's not going to fly as a thread title....
Especially here.
A GTX 2060 will be dominant. The only thing slowing Nvidia down is themselves and their own greed with Gsync.
You have an issue with the moderation?
Make an MD thread...
Are you saying that would be a bad deal at this point?
$650-700 for GTX 1080ti performance in a better performance package/more features/whatever ampere brings. When there is no competition and given the current GPU landscape, that would STILL be a good deal.
A GTX 2060 at $350 would sadly be...
After a lot more research on this, it looks like you can pick up cheap xeons at ridiculous levels, it really just is a glut of cheap xeon processors out there that it's no wonder they're so popular for server builds and budget gaming builds.
I'm finding Xeon Pairs now for $350 where before I...
I'm thinking more just general normal cases.
Yes, I agree completely, I always will get the fastest CPU I can. But for this build, I'm just trying to understand what the limit is. Like I wouldn't be playing GTA 5 modded on this, I would play that on my main rig. I'd play GTA 5 at normal...
Why go water over Noctua? Noctua seems like the best bet every time.
Insert any other top end cooler brand in there too, I use fans from others as well.
Silent fans are easier to setup than anything water
We all know that you generally need a good CPU to drive high frame rates. But if we set 60 FPS as our target frame rate, when does a CPU bottleneck us from reaching this target?
Are these ST or MT cases?
Really, how much CPU power do we actually need for driving a GPU before it bottlenecks us...
My AT&T installer is mining Bitcoin with a GTX 1050.
When I asked about ROI/etc. he just looked at me blankly.
Trying to talk about mining for making a better profit was just not a conversation that he was equipped to have. Most people just aren't wired that way.
@Pandamonia
So frustrating to...
While this is an example of a loud 1U chassis, that doesn't mean a 1U chassis has to be loud.
No one forced them to use the stock fans.
As I already explained, I have no intention of using a 1U chassis. If I did, I would gut the chassis, and replace the fans as I have done in my current 1U...

I'm thinking of picking up an Xbox One X as well. I've been watching the digital foundry vids of the Xbox One X, and it looks great on my 4K display. I mean, considering I'm coming from the R9 290, it's a comparable GPU, but the Xbox One X has HDR and is better optimized.
Really, I'm sure if...
In Canada, ya'll live in some fairy tale land of insane pricing. I would smuggle GPUs across the border if I was Canadian rather than pay Canadian prices. I'm dead serious.
Unraid also got a new update!
https://lime-technology.com/forums/topic/68985-unraid-os-version-641-stable-release-available/
Just yesterday, Threadripper GPU Passthrough is working.
Unraid + AMD has a lot of outdated posts regarding it since there have been so many updates/fixes.
@Markfw I...
Thanks a lot for that.
So it seems you can just disable the Spectre/Meltdown Fix if it is effecting your workload. According to the thread, he disabled it and it went to normal.
According to the unraid thread, it seems that the 30% is in fact a synthetic benchmark that hasn't been reproduced in...
Could you please link the article/review in this thread? I really want to make sure we source everything and I'd definitely want to read the source of this 30% slowdown on IO performance to understand what I'm getting into.
Which questions would I need to ask in the threadripper build thread...
40 day shipping time isn't a problem. This isn't a "I need it yesterday" system. I'm a very patient person.
DDR3 ram has been part of the thread the whole time so I don't think it's a deal breaker now 3 pages in.
By like 30%?
Any hard numbers/reviews?
Well for me, I need 2 GPU support...
I see, ya that's nice. I was just making sure I didn't need some exotic solution. If I can fit noctua coolers, I'll go noctua.
IO for sure that's what I'm thinking. PCIE Lanes? I didn't know that please elaborate.
And for Meltdown... without any concrete performance numbers on...
The case is special and expensive, and it's a moot cost between both systems. Either way, I'm buying a special 24 bay hotswap case. It's a sunk cost between both builds, unless the 2p xeon server system includes said case, which would be lucky for me, but I'm not even trying to get that lucky...

Not even surprised. I said...
I saw that as well. I think ES do work though right? I would say that's more of a "Keep it in mind!!!" but not a "legit price" to say for sure.
I think Haswell is more expensive that it puts it in direct prirces with new threadripper systems, although you get the increased IPC of Haswell, but...
That sounds like a monster steal. How are you finding that? I'm looking and I'm seeing it at full high $1k+ prices except for a couple from japan/china for $350-500 for just the processor.
I need like an ebay tutorial lol.
What would make it "half as fast" as Threadripper? I mean, it's 2...
Threadripper was supposed to be the server king processor. I mean, I had dubbed Ryzen the home server king long before it was out. Cores per dollar... it's not hard math to do.
But in this situation, I just want to make sure that I understand what I'm getting over the Ivybridge Xeons.
I...
I mean, it is essentially working. I'm just using my gaming PC instead of a VM on my server.
I'm just trying to upgrade my server to move it off of my gaming PC. Of course, the GPU costs are another thing too..... But ya, I mean, Steam In Home Streaming works for streaming games/PC screen...
Can we address each point people make separately? When people are saying wrong, it's confusing. Is EVERYTHING wrong? Or certain parts?
This is just educational guys, just post some links so we can all see and judge ourselves. It'll be much easier if we're looking at the same thing.
I used...
Yes, that would be interesting!
What benchmarks are you looking at that makes you say Threadripper is bad for gaming?
In my scenario, I'd be comparing to lower clocked IvyBridge/Haswell options right?
If you can help my tame my expectations of Threadripper, maybe I'll be better served. If I'm...
Are you sure you don't mean HDCP support? HDMI isn't at 2.2 spec yet is it? HDCP 2.2 is right?
Edit: Sorry, this was talked about as being a good HTPC processor, but have they talked about mini boards yet or HTPC specific builds...
How is the HDMI/4K support on this thing? I was trying to google and couldn't get a clear answer, but it looks like it supports HDMI 2.0 base, and not hdmi 2.0a or b right?
So no HDR or other features higher up on HDMI 2.0?
It'd be really disappointing to see AMD behind on the HDMI support...
That's a very tempting offer. A simple drop in upgrade. I just don't think I could get enough out of it. I will definitely keep that in mind though if I'm not satisfied with what I see. I hadn't realized you could drop in some Xeon processors into my mobo.
Looks like I need to be comparing...
In this case, I'll no matter what gut the unit and replace it with a rackmount case. Everything gets rackmounted for me. Onlyway I keep things neat and organized. Otherwise, I'll just have a floor of hardware parts everywhere like I currently do.
I'll check out local, I never use Facebook...
Ok, I've seen some good Ivybridge deals. That's where I see most of the best "deals". My only worry with Ivybridge is, am I dipping to a point where I'm better off going with Ryzen?
The 1U was just for parts.
I plan on buying something used for the Mobo/Ram/CPU
Maybe the Chassis if I'm lucky, but I'm not expecting to find a 24bay server chassis that also does what I want.
Chassis has to be a large storage chassis since I am also going to store things on it, so I'll probably...
Haswell is my defined "cutoff" for what I recommend people in general, so I guess that's what I'll aim for then.
Do ya'll have links new or sold of ebay listings that show these good prices? I normally see Haswell as quite expensive for Xeon line processors but I'm guessing I'm doing it wrong.
No, one of the big reasons to get into PC gaming vs consoles is the ability to choose your method of input. It's not to be tethered to keyboard/mouse. You can use a VARIETY of inputs/gaming gear/racing wheels/etc.
You're purposely tying PC gaming to a very narrow viewpoint now.
The $5000...
I want to play games on the server like with steam streaming. I want all my heavy computing done on my server if possible. I only want thin client boxes anywhere else.

It's the same as if I told you that prices are going up because of new cards and cyrpto mining will be going on the rise.
No one knows.
The only thing relatively certain is that new cards will be at MSRP at launch/preorder, so if you're LUCKY you may get one. So that's what the next "buyin"...

Do I need to use ECC Ram with that mobo you posted? I don't think anything I do needs ECC ram in general. Also a mobo off aliexpress? Does the competition from them ever end? I may have purely China/Korean items soon at this rate, the competition is just so good.
