I loved this....$ per fps comparison

i 7 6700 k vs X 3450

$ 4.00 per frame or $ 0.37 per frame

skip to about 4.02

Oz is a good Youtuber. Good video too.

So i gota got monster 3930k 3 years ago but I just bought a 2660 v2 cores yesterday will i have any game trouble people always say single threaded games run bad on xeons my gpu is 1080

Because of lower clockspeed, it doesn't matter if it's a Xeon or not. You have the option of E5 1680 V2 or E5 1650 V2 Xeons which are unlocked.

Aha! I just bought an sabertooth x58 mobo,Xeon x5690 cpu, GPU SSD and maximus vi impact for the price of fish and chips...

Lucky bar-steward
Testing and benching time tonight eh good luck

 

[HUSKIE]

Will do it soon. need to wake up early for work.....

This is the best I can get out of this system stable. I used setfsb for a tiny oc.

This was previous cpuz score

I wonder if Windows limits executable affinity to just one CPU? If so you may be able to run multiple instances at the same time...

Just saw a Xeon E5-2630 V3 sell for $400 on flee bay, smmh. I'm posting mine, I'll order another........Sell two of those I can buy a video card!

So yesterday i got the xeon didnt put it in yet being lazy the reason i got it was cause my monster 3930k when oced only on 4.0 it gets up to 90 when rendering dont take long its been doin that for awile on normal it runs in the 50s stable this is all with a great noctua d14 so i hope the xeon wont give me trouble and should be faster at stuff ill show results when I put it in

Last year I was thinking of getting a 2670 but changed my mind said to myself my card now is good still but then everytime I want more power it gives me trouble I just figured its time to go xeon this year no more waiting I Dont understand why people on YouTube like to put down xeons they tough can run all day game cheaper can have the same performance in multi and other stuff the only thing is they clocked lower usually maybe im thinkin they want people to get the regular chips is the reason cause i Dont see a problem pc is meant to enjoy a cpu not put em down just cause they not the same seems like its almost people jealous I Dont know

Below you have how 2660v2 uses turbo boost. This means that max turbo for all 10 cores is 2.6Ghz. Make sure to set Windows Power plan to Maximum Performance.

Most Xeon V2s seems to handle 113Mhz BCLK which means you could be able to reach 2.9Ghz on all 10 cores. 3.4Ghz when loading 1 core using turbo boost. You might have to bumb the voltage to 1.150v. Make sure to flash to latest bios while the 3930k is still installed.

My 2680v2 @113mhz BCLK uses 105w at max so you should be safe with 2660s 95w.

Sadly the x5690 CPU busted but I bought i7 950 for £2.50.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Nice price! That's dead cheap.

 

[er557]

dead cheap for a dead chip... sorry, had to do it

 

[lexluthermiester]

I think you misunderstood him? He said his X5690 was dead, not the i7. Was gonna say that the i7 was a downgrade, but for that cheap, not bad at all as a substitute.

 

[er557]

NO, I understood, just meant that i7 950 is dead in the water nowadays..

 

[lexluthermiester]

Oh ok. How is it dead in the water?

 

[er557]

The fact that my xeon outperforms it in cpu hash benchmark x14 times over, for starters, the fact it is launched in 2008 and probably degraded from too much OC, ancient 45nm process power hungry, NOT xeon so no dual cpu for it, motherboards from that era have no usb 3, or pci express 3.0, you say this chip is relevant today?

 

[dorsetknob]

i7 950 is dead in the water nowadays..

a CPU that is 4c/8t runs at
Intel® Core™ i7-950 Processor (8M Cache, 3.06 GHz,
and with adequate cooling such as evo 212 will easily overclock to 4.5 Ghz
this chip still cuts the mustard

 

[er557]

Albeit a serious bottleneck in demanding games and ultra graphics settings, and no extensions such as avx, avx2 etc.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Pretty much the same CPU as my sons W 3540. Matched with DFI Lanparty and running at 3.8ghz with GTX 970 it does a smashing job at 1080p.

 

[er557]

With all that being said, I do run on my backup pc an i7 965xe x58 cpu, with gtx 780 ti sli @far cry 4 in 4k ultra, seems adequate performing.

 

[natr0n]

3dmark 03 with a 9600gt and dual 5675 stock speeds

Comparing cpu scores to the more modern e3-1290 overclocked. The dual xeon system is kinda impressive.

 

[phill]

Just don't plug in a wattage meter lol They are decent CPU's for their age.. I will be looking forward to playing with a couple in my SR-2

I was wondering about the possibility of grabbing a 1366 system... but motherboards seem hard to find at a decent price. Memory too. I could make my main rig an overclocked 1366 xeon or something, which should do better than my locked i5 2400... but considering the price of the board and memory, I may as well wait until I can eventually afford a newer setup anyway.
