  • i7 5960X 8 core cpu's just disappointing the effectiveness of core . Is more economical to buy xsenon 8 core live brige or sandy brige. and open multiplaers in the BIOS.

You cant overclock the xeons like you can k or x desktop processors.

Car analogy:

Yea there are afew 4 cylinder cars that are pretty fast when it comes to 0 to 60 but once you get up into triple digits you need them 8 cylinders.

"There's no replacement for 8 real cores". The 5960x is on my Christmas List.

I know that server motherboards do not support multiplayers. I did not know that the chip itself is locked. Ty. fucking pentium policy for sure .

Yea believe me, if the xeons could overclock, everyone would be using the 12 core version with 30MB cache :/

Wouldnt R9 290x's with their XDMA do better with quad crossfire than these titan blacks in quad SLI?

apart from that, all the obvious has been said =D If people want to buy this, all the better that its available now.

Although very nice it's more like a HUMMER, expensive to buy and expensive to run.

I work with nurses that could afford one of these after a couple of months. There are certainly those that can afford things like this.

Damn that's one impressive PC... I was just checking out the benchmarks of quad Titan SLI and it does 70+ FPS in 4k. *drools*.

Too bad I'll never be able to afford it.

Ahahaha. Don't you worry, man. In just several years time a configuration with similar performance will cost a fraction of this total now. ;)

:D

Too unreasonable from the company to offer such a ridiculously prices rig...

Anyways, does 4-way SLI actually work? :D

Distinguished Members of Techpowerup this build is for 4K gaming but 1080p is more then enough for me. Honestly pleas tell me how much $ do you need to build a rig for 1080p gaming so you could play any game today at 60fps

PS: I know how much i need but what about you Members of Techpowerup.

Thank you all !
