from I7 3930K To Core i7-4930K ?

[tweakboy]

This goes to CPU forum Brandon I think you should wait for Haswell-E, it is bringing huge improvements but will require a new mb.

Hell be waiting until mid 2014 to 2015.

The best upgrade now is the sexy Ivy E 6c12t 4960k

If your on Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge,,, stay there until 2014 we see what haswell does.

But me Im gonna slap on that 4960x and toss out the 3820 ...............thx gl

What are the thoughts on this now?

Still useless.

No one had any problem speculating about Haswell's performance and recommending waiting for it even though nobody knew how well it would perform. I don't see a big difference between that and speculating about Ivy-E, other than most users here would not spring for a 2011 system regardless.

I think its different, haswell was 100% new, while we already have an IVB part to compare to SB, there is almost no performance difference, and on the mainstream side you lost some overclocking headroom.

 

[DPOverLord]

so LGA 2011 is still better?

 

[el etro]

If you-re(OP) talking about energy savings, i agree with you.

 

[crashtech]

Better for some things, not for others. An overclocked 4770K is king, until you hit very heavily threaded loads.

The expectation is that IB-E will provide very modest (<10%) gains over SB-E, and thankfully the IHS is soldered, so it should overclock almost as well as SB-E.

So in your opinion the new setup with:

4930k or 4960X would be a big improvement over the current 3930?

There does not seem to be a big difference other than 100mhz and 3mb of memory on the 4960X vs 4930K

- + 3 SATA 6Gb ports so I can have my Samsung Pro 840's on it, and my WD Red 3TB and my seagate 1.5GB on the higher path
- + 3 USB 3.0 ports tired of usb.20 whats the need now.... 3.0
- PCIE x16 slots, think they make a board that has more than 3 and not 2? in 3.0 Also, I need a mobo that has them as close to the top as possible with no Pcie 1.0 in the way due to the constraints of my case
- +32GB of Ram I really want to get 32- 64GB of Ram to Ram Disk... Granted I really don't know how that will work as you lose everything when you reboot.
- O/C the hell out of it and the Titans at that point

Do you think the LGA 2011 is the right route or should I wait? Be nice to go Tri Titan.

 

[tweakboy]

There is no difference between a 3930k and 4960x . I mean yes there is a difference in performance but 5 percent faster is not worth it. gl

 

[tweakboy]

Just OC the 3930k and your set. gl

I am doing 1600p surround TRI SLI Titans, and on a I7-930 @4.3/4,4GHZ
check this:

IMO after heavy debate I was upgrading to a 4930K 32GB of RAM RIVE or RIVE black, I don't see the point the new MOBO is not a HUGE improvement and in reality my games play well enough. IN BF which I don't play maybe I will have to lower a lot of settings, but in reality, the new motherboard for x79 should have been a MAJOR improvement. It is not.

It depends upon what you're wanting a "huge improvement" in. It's not going to be all that significant in gpu limited gaming (@1600p surround you would be most of the time). In cpu heavy applications such as encoding my 3930K craps all over my W3520@4.4GHz.

 

[fixbsod]

Have you tried the patch... if so did you get PCIe 3.0 with it?

Ya if I had the money I'd definitely get it for encoding. But I don't lol. I just can't justify half a grand for it. If there is a major improvement though from Sandybridge-E, to a new Extreme Edition processor then I may do it since by then I'll have decent employment and what not and money to spend away. For now I'm saving all my money because you never know when a rainy day will come.

I'm hoping we'll get a mini conroe type improvement in IPC soon. We deserve it don't we?

Not happening any time soon. Intel, apparently, doesn't think we deserve it
But yeah, seeing a 15% IPC boost or > with the same clocks sure would be nice...
