fair point, i guess youve no option but to move then
do yourself a favour when you move, join at least one club and stick to it, force yourself to make friends if youre not so inclined. being alone in a city away from people you grew up with sucks, even if it doesnt feel quite so bad at the time.

I have literally NO IDEA if you legit need this kind of resources to work on that but ok.

The 64gigs of RAM for the "gaming rig" is what bothers me the most. Which game needs that ? Do you let 20 games open at once all the time or ???

ram is realy realy cheap right now. i multibox eve online with 21 clients. averages out 1gb per client and i started to hit the ceiling at around 30gb ram usage before. so i trew in another 32gb to get to 64. that way it doesnt matter what i do to it because it wont ever hit full utilization

I have 128GB in the PC I built for my workplace - I work editing video for commercials. Naturally, it's useful then, but also - for games (I had to indulge) running on it, 128GB allows me to load the full game into RAM - so no lag or loading screens at all. No FPS drops waiting for a head to move around on a spinning harddrive, etc.

I'm really curious about how you score 64gb of DDR4 for $80 ??? That sounds way too good to be true.

Also, with DDR4 you're supposed to get a more expensive CPU & mobo (Skylake iirc ?). Add to that the fact that only high end mobos accept 64 gigs and you get a pretty high price tag for the whole thing.

>>680843796
Aight. So apparently I'm missing out something about cheap DDR4 and yeah, at least you have a half decent explanation for why you need so much RAM.

Still wondering if you're rich from birth or from actual work ? (Let's be honest, you gotta be wealthy to throw that kind of money at something as petty as computers.

i had some support but i worked hard to be where i am now. i currently have 2 stores specializing in cigars and specialty tobaco. i think i payed around 260euro for 8x8 kingston ram.

btw the other guy that told you that 64gb of ram is cheap.. he is talking about registered dimms that you cant normaly use in your desktop. higher end workstations support registered dimms and usualy allow you to put alot more ram into the machine then usual.

same with my z800 which has 12x8gb dimms

as in how youre loading each game completely into RAM before you play

>>680845024
not $80, but £80. if you order RAM from a lot of these chinese sellers, theyre sporting micron or whatever chips on the board, so its at least reasonably decent stuff. ive bought cheap RAM from china before, and generally i have no issues with it.

fuck DDR4 and skylake, i dont give a fuck about their improvements in power consumption, i want powerful hardware. im gonna be rocking sandy bridge server hardware when the motherboard arrives on account of it having come out of service and thus being reasonably affordable. the exact setup im using is a SuperMicro X9SRA, a Xeon E5-2670 v1 SR0KX, which has 8 cores, 16 threads, 20MB of cache, a basic clock of 2.6 GHz, and a boos of up to 3.3 GHz.

>>680845857
yea i have a z820 in my homelab that i am fixing up right now. the z840 is currently a little pricy and not realy worth it unless you want to blow 10k on it

RAM disk. If you google it there's a lot of info out there that can break it down for you.

>>680845233
Yeah, it isn't usually an issue in most systems anyway - but gaming on a top top top end rig is by far the smoothest gaming experience I've ever had. Removes any micro-jitters or millisecond lags that you might have and not notice on other systems.
>>
>>680845926
"Loading the game into RAM" is pretty fucking retarded. It takes more time than you'd spend looking at loading screens, so I'd advise against it.
>>
>>680846521
I mean, you have a point, but if you do it in the background before you play the game whilst you do other things, it will never matter anyway.
>>
>>680845373
No issue to replace if any of it goes bad. We also have an identical set-up but unused system that's ready to be plugged into our editing station if this current one fails on a job.
>>
>>680846465
well yeah, but how exactly are you loading each individual game into RAM and having it execute properly in your RAM disk?

>>680846521
not really, if you spend a lot of time in the game and youre loading from a SATA SSD to standard DDR3 or whatever, a ramdisk wouldnt be a terrible idea if youve got that kind of RAM to throw around
>>
>>680846681
And do it each time? What's your plan for a power outage? Your game files are lost on the ramdisk and all you have at their original place is an empty symlink. Then there's the fact that save files are still stored on the OS drive, so it makes fuck all difference if you're loading a save.

It's just not worth the effort.
>>
>>680846681
ramdisks are garbage on windows based machines. if the game doesnt preload properly the ramdisk will only be marginaly improving your experience.

better to have some fast nvme storage with readspeeds like the 950pro + low latency

Dunno man, I consider my rig as "high-end" already and I'm not an adept of total overkill (like a lot a nerds) in terms of what I put in my PC.

Don't get me wrong, I like piecing together nice configs but at some point the "benefits" curve is stalling and the "costs" (in terms of $) curve crosses it so I stop throwing money at the rig.


Good for y'all that can build them though.

The system isn't for gaming on - it was a one off thing - none of that is of any worry to me.

>>680847053
Yeah, I agree with you there for sure. This system is breaking any kind of benefit/price/performance ratio in terms of being used for gaming. The cost definitely is not worth it. For editing and colour work though, which is its purpose, it's worth the money.

>from a SATA SSD to DDR3
There are two things wrong with this statement. Nobody no matter how insane would RAID0 SSDs and see a noticeable increase in speed. Fuck benchmarks, I mean actually experiencing the difference.
The second thing is it still doesn't make any difference. All you're getting rid of in an SSD vs. RAMdisk scenario is microstuttering. Nothing else. No load times will actually improve by any margin.

Been there, done that.
>>
>>680847217
nvme based ssds are not much more expensive then sata based ssds
>>
>>680846978
>>680847350
But to entertain the idea of a power outage - we have a UPS that would keep the system up for 30 mins before cutting it off - enough time to copy relevant save files.
>>
>>680847472
raiding ssds for speed is retarded. i have noticed absolutely nothing since i moved from 850pro to 950pro and the 950 has readspeeds of 2200MB/s

>>680847538

I do believe that's not actually his temperature value. AMD has a retarded way of reporting an offset value instead of actual temperatures since FX, and if the software is not prepared to read it correctly, it will display bogus temperature.

>>680849683
i dont disagree, unless you need redundancy, but even then there are better ways of achieving it i suppose

>>680849769
but why do they exist? people want more speed, they dont want the south bridge in the way of access to their storage, and they dont want to be constrained by SATA speed limitations. PCI-E SSDs can deliver speeds in the GiB/s, people clearly want that, and manufacturers clearly want to deliver faster speeds because SSD DIMMs seem to be becoming a thing.

First you ask, then you answer your own question. What does PCI-E and DIMM SSD have anything to do with SATA RAID0? Nothing. SATA RAID0 is useless, the south bridge is the limiting factor, LIKE YOU SAID. SO WHERE IS THE POINT WHERE YOU DISAGREE WITH ME?

FOR FUCK'S SAKE PEOPLE, YOU SPEAK THE LANGUAGE NOW TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S BEING WRITTEN!
>>
>>680850988
you do know that not all sata raid solutions have to go trough a southbridge - but in general yea we need to move towards pcie providing storage directly to the system instead of going trough controllers or even trough the sb and then a controller

No you will not (playing games) period. Only 4k read/write performance will increase noticeably because of the much higher IOPS value.
