The integrated graphics are a plus for Intel in my view, especially with increased GPU prices. You can at least turn on an Intel based system and...
These don't have integrated graphics, right?
Thanks for sharing !
The 1060 is slightly faster in some games, while losing in others vs the RX 480. The performance is around the same level, whichever you buy.
I did try it and got 10,285 as highest over 5 runs on my 6600k.
2.78a installed, best time is now 92:86 (out of 3 runs). No other changes.
i5 6600K at default speed ( topped at 3.89 Ghz turbo during test) + 16 GB RAM at 2400 Mhz (2x8). Ran it 5 times and the best result was 52:80.
Exactly what you said. They're not bad CPU's, it's just that the step up in performance alone from older generations is not worth the investment.
I turn it off because there's no reason to leave it on if I'm not using it, it's not doing anything. If I step out for 15-30 minutes or if I do...
You could have a 3rd option, start from #2, drop the Samsung SSD for the one from #1 and also drop to a 1060 6GB if you're not sure on the 1070...
As you said, see what deals you can get. Also keep an eye out for an RX 470 (unless you really want an Nvidia card), it's a bit more expensive...
What resolution will he be playing at and what kind of games? You won't see a noticeable difference in RAM if you go to DDR4 3000 for example, so...
Upgraded to skylake (from haswell) less than 3 months ago, got an itch and had to scratch it. Went a bit overboard and got a i5-6600k, 16 GB DDR4...
1060 & rx 480 are pretty close in terms of performance, with the 1060 winning benchmarks for DX 11 games & the r 480 for DX 12 ones. Whichever you...
2nd time I see it and still think it's ugly !
Not sure the board supports RAM at higher than standard 2133 Mhz for DDR4, so you could maybe save some $$$ by going for lower speed RAM. Also,...
One thought i have is that the H110i might be a bit overkill, but it would likely be quiet. Oh, and you might want a video card with 2 x HDMI...
Not sure about the actual difference in your workload, but why not get a DDR4 compatible motherboard & DDR4 RAM? According to part picker you...
Install the Sapphire TRIXX software after you get the card, it gives you a lot of options to overclock and monitor the card. First thing I did...
Even a 1070 is overkill for the games I play (WOW, WOT, rarely play the likes of Witcher or games with similar demands), even if / when I get a...
