The i3-4370 is only 30% slower than a Skylake and 40% more efficient.
i can't upgrade from my 630m because it's a laptop.
>>51486739
laptop isn't a build, shit for brains.
I cant upgrade from my 5820k 32gb ddr4 R9 390 5SSD's build because I don't have the free time to make a new one.
![Mu5G5zb[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/k99D2UE.png "Mu5G5zb[1].png")
Because it's not even obsolete
1080p 144hz was not a mistake.
>>51486727
>"only" 30% slower
kek
I'm fine with my current build.
>>51486727
i don't need silent PC because O can turn it off on night (but I fucking love fall asleep with music on). Integrated graphics completely works for me because linux and nogames (but holy shit I wish I can play dark souls again someday).
The 6700 has a lower TDP and I don't overclock. It's also much more than $60 more where I live.
There have been no significant advancements in technology since the AMD Phenom II.
Single Channel is just as good as Dual Channel.
>>51487469
Aww yee, still rockin' my 1090T.
>>51487469
Don't know if I should be glad for this or not
Still rocking X4 965
Because I am not currently bottlenecked by my hardware hence do not see the need to upgrade.
no money :(
Put together for $330, including quasi-legit copy of Windows. (handout from someone with MSDN)
Monitor was free, too.
>>51487469
>using this graph to difference CPU performance
You're doing it wrong.
>>51486727
1440p games don't use more than 3.5 GB of vram
I can't even though I love my old build dearly and it plays like 90% of my Steam library on at least medium settings without issue. It just can't play anything new that's even slightly demanding and boots up super slow, which is why I'm debating a new build now or next year.
>>51486770
Goddamn what a fucking toaster how do you do anything with that? Just disgusting man, I feel bad for you.
I'm poor and nothing on my laptop has broken in five years
Single core intel atom handles shitpostin and emu just fine :^)
My i7-5960X and GTX 980Ti are still good enough for shitposting at ~120fps.
no reason to change my i5-4690k, and my R9 270X works great considering all I play are rpgmaker games
>>51489680
>he doesn't shitpost at 240fps on dual TVs
pleb
>>51486727
My 670GTX still maxes out most games at 30-60fps, CPU bottleneck stopped being relevant after Sandy gen, I have little money to upgrade.
Shit works, why change?
My computer isn't the problem, it's the programmers today that can't bother to optimize their shit.
It's time to upgrade
>>51488329
you did well, anon
>>51489627
it says dual core right there, pal

Highly regret it.
>>51486727
still using my i5 3350p, 8 GB of ram, geforce 210
it is perfect for my needs, mostly 2D autocad mecahnical engineering, and this cpu was cheaper than one with intergrated gpu and honestly it is a big upgrade for me from athlon 3500+
>>51489443

>>51486833
is it actually a mistake
>>51486727
There's nothing that cant run on a 3570k, and if it can't, its just the devs being shit.
The 7950 was the price/performance king and still has the best DPFLOPS performance per dollar of any card, why upgrade?
Crossfire is GOAT. Devs just suck for not actually catering to my specific needs.
>tfw I hurts to admit my own bias.
>Xeon E5507 + 12GB DDR3 + Quadro 2000
Pretty much every post-Core2 chip is practically meme tier for my typical use case and comes with little or no practical improvement except in the occasional game I play once every six months, and even then only my GPU really holds me back.
Sure, it'd be nice to have something newer, but I can't really justify it when I could get more out of spending it on my hobbies instead and I hate modern whitebox hardware from an aesthetic perspective anyway.
>>51486727
My i7-950 chuggs along just fine in WoW raids.
>>51490894
I have the same exact rig. I swapped that gpu for a r9 290 and i swapped my hdd for a ssd and its basically a new pc
>>51491466
It's fine for playing games, but that's it. I could have gotten a decent IPS 1440p monitor for what I paid.
>>51490950
If you googled "Atom N270" you would see that's it's actually a single core with hyper-threading, so it shows up as two logical cpus.
>>51486727
2500k is still king skycum can suck my dick
My Q8400 is just fine and runs everything. My R7 260X was cheap and also runs everything. I don't care about occasionally turning down my settings on some games.
>>51491307
My 970 is starting to struggle to 1080/60 on max settings for newer games
I have an i5 2500 non-k and it's the best processor for that socket. I refuse to update the motherboard because it runs just fine and I >paid for Windows 7/10.
Got a sapphire R280X which seems to be bottlenecked by my cpu in high intensity situations.
I still love my baby tho

Jesus aching christus
I really need a low wattage atom home server with ecc ram and zfs more than upgrading the old core2quad desktop.
>>51486727
My crt still looks better than any budget monitor and my i5 2500 is still plenty fast enough for my uses.
phenom II and 4gb RAM. Beat that.
ITS A LAPTOP
I thought AMD would work perfectly fine with Linux. I thought ASRock is good. I thought AMD GPU + OC i3570k + stock fan would stay below 50°C.
OK, can't justify being a retard.
I don't play games anymore so the first gen i7-920 and i7-950 I got is fine. I'll replace the 2TB HDDs as the old ones die out.
I'm about to get into real-time computing so I might end up getting some new gear.
Current but I'm going to justify it anyway
>Windows
Because most of what I do beyond shitposting on my desktop is Windows only (games, CAD, etc). I plan on changing this for my next build, where I will probably dual boot or run a Windows VM on a Gahnoo+Lelnix install.
>8320 and 16 Gb of ram
8 cores and 16 Gb of ram is comfy for having a million things running at once without any slowdown. Also I didn't want to spend another $100 for an i5, especially since I dislike that intel has known NSA backdoors.
>2 16:10 monitors
Shit's comfy.
>Large SSD
Because I got it for $150 a year ago off of craigslist.
M-my Fx 6300 @ 4.5 Jiggahertz can perform just as good as your intel cpus!
>>51486833

>what is hyper-threading
>>51486727
>b-but you'll get 10 more fps! stop being poor!
>5% increase in some benchmarks!
>you don't know what you're missing!
yeah whatever, maybe I'm a bit bitter because I can't justify mindlessly dropping a grand on an ugly piece of obnoxious shit that will be worthless in five months for something I do once every six months, but for real though, I just don't see much of a benefit when I would rather put that money towards a project or something that I'll learn from instead of waste my time playing the occasional game at an "acceptable" framerate
part of me also kind of just rebels against the idea of upgrading my system just because I don't want to turn into one of those spoiled kiddo shitters that bitches and moans about 62 fps on ultra @ 1080p like it's another holocaust, I kind of like the patience and tolerance I've gained from working with lots of older tech, it really makes me appreciate things more
My old build was a 2500k and a 7950
I don't have to justify shit
There's nothing wrong with having a Pentium 4 and 1GB RAM, what you need is proper optimization of the resources using a superior operating system that uses the resources carefully.
I don't have any need for external peripherals so it doesn't bother me that my motherboard doesn't have PCIe slots and just PCI slots

I shit you not, the best PC related purchase I have ever made, and don't plan to upgrade it any time soon, unless something really amazing comes out from Intel. Liking that 5820k tho.

SLI 980SC's. Got the 2nd one from EBay. Total price for both right around $1000. Paid around total price of a Titan X and outside of VRAM, I get roughly 20-30% better total performance.
>>51499914
Alright, build justified
>>51486727
My "old" computer still works and does what I want it to. No other justification is necessary.
Would Cannonlake be a good place to upgrade from my 3570k?
Those upcoming 3DS, 360, WiiU, and PS3 emulators got me wanting to upgrade.
Especially with 3DS and 360 making such progress.
4790k and 770, 8 gb ram.
I don't think I have ever even used the full power of this processor yet, or ever will.
I just play games sometimes when I'm not at work, and don't care about graphics. If I have to seriously use the computer for something I more often grab my chromebook running Linux tbqh.
Bought it years ago after making a lot of money on Bitcoin and also haven't found another scam like that to take advantage of.
>mfw my build is a P4 3ghz with 1,5gb ram
Good thing I have a modern laptop now. I still have it as a backup system in case my laptop fail or gets stolen, again.
HD 7950 had a great price to performance ratio.
I didn't know the 8350 and the 8320 were exactly the same just binned differently.
The 32GB of RAM was free for me.
The windowed version of my case was cheaper.
256GB SSDs were still $220 so I got a 128GB.
Entire build was justified because I spent like $1100 on it and sold it for $950 like a years later.
>>51500818
Oh yeah, I got the NH-D14 because I planned on overclocking but I lost the silicon lottery and couldn't get it past 4.2Ghz stable anyways.
i5-3470 still good enough 4 me.
Only thing I've upgrade in last 4 years is a 390 from a based as fuck 7850, still not sure i needed to >.> I just did it for witcher3
Also from a silverstone strider 500W to a evga g1(inb4 g1 lol shoulda got g2 650W i know I fugged up) 750W
This Zotac looks great in my case

>tfw waiting for Zen
>>51486727
The C2D's more than good enough for what I do on the machine itself, most heavy lifting's done remotely. I could go for a better GPU because I game here and there, so I may upgrade to an 8800GS while I've got it cracked open swapping SSDs.
Yeah that's the part I can't justify; I've spent the last two months running the iMac off of the SSD in my BlackBook connected over FireWire 400.
>>51492039
It surprises me how it's holding up pretty ok with recent games, playing GTA V on medium/high with 30-40 fps average. Is this CPU going to be a bottleneck if I decide to upgrade my gpu to a R9 380 for example?
Good enough for shitposting :^)
Next years graphics cards will be just that much better...
Also HBM when

>GTX 960 for free, I was running iGPU before that

It can run Linux, Hackintosh and Windows.
I'm going to upgrade when enthusiast-grade CPUs like the 5820k support 12 native cores and they cost like 300-350 dollarydoos.

>tfw about 2 weeks ago I bought a 3570k rig, with a cx600, 660ti, cm 790 case, some asus atx, 8gb ram for 350€.

If your gaming at 1440p you should go for a 980 or equivalent amd card

>brofist
kill yourself pewdiefag
>>51491466
I have one. Am really satisfied with it. You just don't know what you are missing before you use it because you haven't experienced it before. Everything is so smooth. You start to get used to the smoothness. When I go from 144hz main screen to 75 second screen it feels so dissatisfying. But also because I game quite a lot, it is good to have. If you don't game often I wouldn't recommend it, unless you have enough money for a 1440p 144hz.
