i read the comment then try guess what system they have then check system specs....
usually right.... i win a lot lol
and who in their right mind would spend 400 -500 on 2x 660s vs A 400 -500 solo card.
I guess peoples standers of gaming comp are wicked low.
For Me ..gaming means 1920x1080+ , 60FPS+ High Qualty settings, SSD (for load times) 8+ GB DRR / 64bit OS.
Low ASIC quality would be the same idea as a high leakage CPU, while a low leakage CPU would be the same as a high ASIC quality chip. Both have their place.There are fanboys out there that had a 3770K and purchased the latest and greatest 4770K as well. The massive 5~10% unnoticeable in any application increase must really be worth it!You are quite full of it right now. At $ .08 kwh I feel like this extra 100W worth of CPU TDP will be fine. Mind you video cards broke into the 200w arena in the GTX4X0 time frame and haven't gone back since. Did everyone's power bill and cooling costs double back then as well or are you just making a mountain out of a mole hill?10% vs stock on air/water cooling? Sure. You have no idea what this CPU was designed for. Take it and stick some LN2 on top and you will start to get the idea. This isn't a "consumer" CPU, this is a one off buy me to overclock on LN2 chip.Don't forget the subsequent Pentium D EE which didn't even offer virtualization. Both of those mind you consumed more power than the AMD alternative, performed worse in all occasions, yet those owners weren't "fanboys". Weird how when AMD releases a CPU that draws more power, yet has notable returns depending on application it is ostracized. At least when I purchase an unlocked AMD CPU I can run a VM on it correctly. :laugh:
so, that was $800 for the two gpus, the core i5, the motherboard, and a 16 GB ram kit. and an extra 100 for a nice 80 plus gold psu. I already had a keyboar/mouse/case/harddrive/os.
point is, not everyone needs a $2000 machine to play pc games.
a single 660 is fine for most games at 1080p. unless you insist on using MSAA, when FXAA works great at 1080p and higher, while not taxing the gpu. for instance, battlefield 3 at ultra, using fxaa at 1080p, 61 fps. sli'd 660s can handle anything on the market at the moment, especially when oc'd.
I don't care how much money someone has, you don't make money by wasting it on overpriced items.
There's no way this chip will even be competitive with the 3930k, and the 3930k is $300+ cheaper. It's insane.
I can understand buying it if you're a competitive overclocker - because let's face it, value doesn't matter in that equation - but other than that, you would have to be a die hard AMD fanboy and have no financial sense to buy this.
Guess thats a good thing AMD. I mean, EA has won golden poo for two years and that bad publicity hasn't hurt them much.
I may order a 9370 if it's only $320 at release that's really not that bad of a price.
