Running some numbers.
A 1080 has 2560 cuda cores, a 1070 has 1920 cuda cores. The 1080 has 33% more cores but about 21% more performance. Scaling wise, the ratio is 1.5 between % cuda cores added and % performance gained. The cards are clocked slightly differently but also overclock by...
If I'm going to up $100, I wonder if it wouldnt be for the best to switch to AMD instead. They have motherboards that cost $40-50 with 6 Sata ports. I know nothing about AMD though :(
Dang. I wanted to go with the B85 because it has 6 sata's instead of 4 (for NAS purposes). Is there a good mITX board with these features?
I think I will get a Corsair 430m there. I wanted it to be relatively low power but scaling up to htpc/media tasks is more important to me so I will...
Sorry, that was my fault for being unclear. I would like the option to overclock for when I would be using the system for something like light handbraking. Really wanted to see if there would be headroom left over.
As such, I might end up saving the money and getting the basic pentium instead...
So far this is my wishlist.
* CPU - G3258 - Alert set on slick deals
* RAM: 8GB Patriot Viper 3 DDR3-1600 $82.99 via Amazon
* Hard drive: PNY XLR8 128GB Solid State Drive $59.99 via Amazon
* Additional HardDrives (3x4TB Drives)
* Wireless adapter: Generic 300Mbps USB...
The main long term trend affecting AMD's business here is that the PC market is contracting in the long-run permanently. Silicon manufacturing costs billions in R&D and factories and is literally pennies on the dollar in terms of the chips themselves. Being profitable depends on large...
I already have a modified e02 pogoplug that has 2 externals on it with archlinux as a NAS. A raspberry pi as a nas is pretty mediocre. It has like a single-digit MBps transfer rate. There are better ARM-based devices out there for the price ... like my E02 pogoplug which has the same...
Good information is somewhat hard to find so I would appreciate any good input.
Currently my leading option is:
CPU: Intel Pentium G3220 @ 3.0Ghz ($45)
MB: Gigabyte GA-H81M, LGA 1150, 2x240pin, DDR3 1600, PCI Express 2x16 ($55)
RAM: Generic 4 GB 1 stick - $42
HD : Hitachi 4tb Coolspin...
