Okay well right now I got an lga 775 rig and a lga 1156 rig and i want to get a computer dedicated to gaming because i hate gaming and doing editting on 1156 rig Okay well i was wondering should i go for a 1366 rig right now i got about 3grand or wait and see what sandy bridge and the ati 6000 series has to offer? If ur interested here are my other rig specs lga 775 cpu-Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz gpu- 9800 x2 mobo- evga tri sli 790i ram 4gb ocz hdd-300gb lga 1156 cpu- core i5 750 oc @ 3.6 ghz stable gpu- sli gtx 460 evga Cheesecake mobo- foxxcon inferno katana ram- 4gb of g-skill rip jaw hdd 1tb samsung and 64gb ocz agility
You want to make a 1366 machine for gaming, and keep using the 1156 for editting? Just about every reasonable gaming build is going to come down to being almost exactly the same specs as your 1156 machine. Little reason to go 1366 for pure gaming. Also, this is post number 1366 for me. How ironic.
Well i do alot of 3d models and have stuff running on my 1156 24/7 and i also look up stuff for games if i get stuck and its agervating plus i want to gave a 1366 machine for pure gaming only or i might wait for sand bridge
Ah, that makes sense! Didn't even think of things running over time and really had me confused. You could probably just clone your current 1156 machine if you'd like to get gaming sooner than later. An i7 930 would generally be overkill for gaming. Bit's review shows it getting barely any more frames than an i5 750, and the new 760 would just make it even closer. Does rendering really use both 460s? You could maybe get away with moving one to the new machine and only having to buy one new card. Or you could make a 1366 machine to do your editting and rendering and do your gaming on the existing 1156. Or wait for Sandy bridge, but that's your own call on whether you think you can wait or not!
well im not sure but if i have alot of stuff on my 3d models kinda lags a bit and i like to do that on my 37 inch or 42 inch flat screen dont no the size and it laggs more on that...but i think imma just wait to see what happens. i mean i tried editing on my lga 775 and forget it haha
If your viewport is lagging then you need a faster graphics card as far as I know none of the major 3D packages are designed for SLI setups.(Tbh, you probably wouldn't be lagging badly unless you're in the 10mill poly range anyway, especially with a GTX460).
The 37 / 42" TV's should be 1920 x 1080 resolution. If you want my opinion, keep your 1156 rig for gaming, and move your rendering over to a new 6-core 1366 setup... Intel Core i7 970 Gulftown 3.2GHz 6-core Processor Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Motherboard (With SATA 6.0Gbps and USB 3.0) Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) ENERMAX MODU87+ EMG800EWT 800W PSU GIGABYTE GV-N480D5-15I-B GeForce GTX 480 (Fermi) 1536MB 384-bit GDDR5 GPU Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD Crucial RealSSD C300 CTFDDAC128MAG-1G1 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (6.0Gbps capable) Throw in a case, a DVD burner or a Blu-Ray burner, and your flavor of OS, and you're set. As a note, I went with a single GTX480 over the SLI 460's since I'm not sure whether the rendering program can actually make use out of SLI. If it for sure can, there's no reason not to go for SLI'd 460s. Total cost without the case, dvd drive, and OS comes out to a bit over $2300. Well within the $3000 budget you have, and should give you a nice bump in rendering performance. If you want the actual newegg.com list, let me know.
It's coming out end of this year and continue with new model until next year. You can wait, so you can see.
ya i mean they got 6 and 8 cores but i mean i don't relle see a use in those because there is bearly any programs that use over 3 and by the time they have programs that use 6 or 8 they will have 20 core cpus so its like do i future proof and hope its worth it or na
That is actually bad programming. Good programming revolve that a program should work from 1 to infinite number of processors. The porblem is that it's every complicated to do. And then you need to find a way for optimization. It will take time. Maybe new language standards will help later on, but we are not there yet. So far, it's not a concern, as most people have dual or even single core processors.
