So here's a question. I have a Gulftown 980 6 core 3.33 Ghz and was wondering if I would see a noticeable difference if I went to a Kaby Lake 4.2 Ghz 4 core. Mostly game playing BF1 and Rust. Am I bottlenecked? 1080 GPU, 18 Gb of DDR3 ram.
I'll keep this to the point. Looking to play BF1 and currently play a lot of Rust. Monitor is 144 Hz 1440X2560 Asus ROG. 18 Gb of DDR3 ram, NVidia 1080 GPU.
I know it's a great though dated CPU but just wondering if an upgrade will help my frames... not that they suck but they could be higher...
So I got a question here for all the SSD brainiacs. Today I picked up a 840 EVO 250 GB and was aware of this deteriorating performance issue but also knew a "patch" was to be released anyday to fix it. This is just a gaming drive. The patch says "use it if needed"... well since my drive is so...
5820K - $450.00 Cdn
16 GB ram - $270.00
Asus Motherboard - approx. $400.00
So yeah, it's not gonna be cheap. My question is though how much faster would a 5820 be compared to my 980? We're talking a few generations here, gotta be more IPC and such, although I know how well regarded the...
Budget is perhaps buying a 5820k, new motherboard and DDR 4 ram. I use my pc for mostly gaming and I already know the cpu isn't getting hammered.
I'm a bit of a pc nerd and like to keep it updated. It's been 3 years since I did anything to the cpu, last year I put in two 780 GTX's...
Sorry about your loss. It's stories like yours is why I store my pictures not only on 3 different drives here at home, but a set offsite at my friends. Everything else doesn't really matter but the pictures of my daughter are priceless to me.
I think the 5820 would meet your needs just fine.
Could anybody tell me the difference in my 980 6 core and the new 5820K?
Would it be worth it? Perhaps 30% faster? Looking to upgrade but not sure if it would be worth it.
Thanks.
Check out the $4500.00 junk that the rent-to-own company Easyhome sells.
This is what $39.00 week for 104 weeks buys you. Add taxes and fee's and you're looking at around $4500.00.

Yup, I would wait too as I've wrangled with this question myself for months.
I have a socket 1366 Gulftown 980 X6 3.33 Ghz (mildly overclocked to 3.72) and have been looking into perhaps a 4770k. There's no point as they're pretty equal chips in the end. 4770k has better clock speeds but the...
In the game under video settings "Fullscreen Resolution" you should see what Hz your running at. Try to keep your fps as consistent & constant to that frequency, in your case I'm assuming its 60 Hz. I have a 120 Hz monitor but dumb it down slightly to 100 Hz for more consistent frames close to...
Change the refresh in NVidia (or ati) control panel. Then make sure the game is running the same in the video options. Because I struggled a bit to see consistent 120 fps, I changed the resolution down to 100 and get solid 100 fps 95% of the time. Very important for Strobelight to work properly...
I don't know about that. In my case, I had my cores unparked in W7 and I still had stuttering, even with SLI disabled. Granted, it wasn't brutal and the game played relatively fine but the smoothness, consistent frames and lack of stuttering all occurred a few days ago after installing Windows...
Not sure if I should have put this in the BF4 thread but since this is such a dramatic improvement in BF4 performance I thought I would start with this separate thread. Posted this at my gaming clan's website and on Guru, figured I would share my finding here as well to spread good performing...
See, the kicker is that I could sell the 980 quite easily for around $400.00 on ebay and probably get another $150.00 or so for the motherboard (Asus P6X58D-E). With that, I could easily upgrade to a Haswell 4770k with a Asus Maximus Hero VI m/b. So that's what's kinda panging me, knowing I...
This is the perfect thread to discuss my "dilemma".
In June of 2010 I upgraded my old socket 775 to 1366 and put together a new pc from the ground up, mostly to play Battlefield: Bad Company 2. In Oct 2011 I upgraded the processor from a 920 to a 3.33 Ghz 6 core 980 (not the "X" version). I...
