Not sure why you want a M.2, as there is no advantage other than form factor, if you want fast ssd and not take up a pci-e slot, you need U.2 NVME

Maxwell OC extremely well, Fury X might caught up a bit when it come to non OC reference card, but once you OC a custom 980ti, the difference is still huge.

Other way around for me, I couldn't stand tale of abyss when it came out because the char and voice acting are too kiddie to me, never thought it would happen but it did.

Not even close.

Just buy a G1 or Strix, same real world performance as lightning, $20 to 30 more than Fury X.

Is this a meaningful benchmark?

Stop avoid the point by reposting. I am not here to respond to you, you responded to my comment to the benchmark posted by RS, and seems your response doesn't have a point at all.

2600k going from 3.4 to 4.7 would be a world of difference too, overall quad core do tend OC higher as well... so your point again?

Other than memory intensive task where tri channel helps, all I see is 2600k just walks over the 990x, and 2600k is nether high end nor new.

LOL, week 1 920, ran it at 3.8G 24/7 for 6 years. 5930k now, night and day difference.

U2, 3.1, PCI-E 3.0, which is big one if you do SLI, but otherwise not too big. Lastly, http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-X-980-vs-Intel-Core-i7-5820K/m1822vs2579 Sure, X58 OC very well, but X99 OC very well too. If you don't want to OC...

Loads of non sense, when X58 came out the standard for Sata 6.0 gbps and USB 3.0 wasn't even finalized, I don't care about how premium your board is, BS won't get you a feature that simply did not exist at the time. Some later X58 boards have them, not premium or not, just like top of the line...

The real issue with X58 is not just the CPU, no SATA 3, no PCI-E3, no USB 3.

A day after my last post someone posted this video Same spot, 6700k OC to 4.8 handled it well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6axdpjyZzA
