Friendly reminder that you can pick up E5-2670 on eBay for ~$70 now
>Sandy Bridge-E
>8 cores, 2.6 GHz
>20 MB L3 cache
Best bang for buck CPU you can buy today
Is that used?
>>54323012
obviously you fucking retard
>>54322978
Do pro gaymurzzz need more than that to run shit on max specs with a top end GPU?
And then pay $200 for a motherboard which supports it.
>>54323022
hunt around ebay for a used dual socket server/workstation board
would be under 300 bucks for the board and 2 cpus
> buying used cpus
Have fun with your 100000 hours runtime components

pro gaymurzz probably wouldn't even realize this shit have single-threaded performance comparable to worst FX cpus, they'd just fap over synthetic benchmarks
>>54323113
>Sandy Bridge-E
>Shit single threaded performance
You realize it's still Sandy Bridge, right? Sure it's not clocked at 3.2GHz like a 2500K but some of them can be overclocked and then you get basically the same performance.
>>54323083
Seriously these server CPUs have been worked like dogs for decades, there's a reason they're so fucking cheap.

Has anyone ever done a proper review between a used FX-8150 and an LGA 2011 Sandy Vagina?
>>54323204
Servers are not aiming for single-threaded performance too much, i really doubt it'd be anyhow acceptable for retardedly written games.
I just checked this very professional website and it says those two are comparable (although 8350 is hardly worst FX cpu):

no thanks, the if single threaded didnt matter I'd get amd
>>54323228
CPUs almost never break. It's almost always the MB or PSU.
>>54323275
Yeah but those CPUs were just in typical desktop workloads. These server CPUs were worked harder than your mom.

The 2500K is shit at stock too. You need to push Sandy Bridge well beyond 4GHz for it to keep up in modern gaymes. It's absolute shit running at 2.6GHz and no better than an AMD CPU. Even a stock 2600K can't get anywhere near a 60fps lock in gaymes like GTA V.
>>54323418
That's because GTA V is poorly coded shit, dude.
>>54323430
Also it's a fucking Titan X, if you need a $1000 GPU to bottleneck a $70 CPU, that kinda says all that needs to be said.
>>54323292
But they're also operated well withing safe temps with good cooling, and they are intels best made CPUs.
>>54323430
very true, considering it ran decently well on the terrible console CPUs
Chips are great work horses. Don't know if I would purchase one with gaming in mind, could put together a dual xeon setup, and do a KVM with gpu pass through project build if you are into that kind of thing.

no it fucking isn't. the game runs fine if you don't max out every single distance scaling option in the settings. The fact that the game scales up to higher end hardware doesn't make it shit.

Makes literally no fucking difference. You'll die before they do.
I'm interested in this for a workstation, what's the cheapest mobo you can get for these? Any cheap single CPU boards that support ECC memory?
>>54323430
Because it scales up very well with settings makes it shit? Just in, if a game pushes hardware hard with maxed settings while giving you good fidelity, its shit coding.
Just kill yourself my man.

Except it isn't. It's a great PC port. You Sandy Bridge faggots will call anything garbage if it doesn't run perfectly on their five year old CPU, because you fell for the "never obselete" maymay hard.
