Best Bang for Buck for SLI or Crossfire?

I don’t care which is better. If the results don’t help me pick, they are useless. 

What?

What????

Imo SLI/CF is only worth it now when you're already at the top consumer level of performance and still want/need more. So I'd only really say it's worth your time with 2 2080ti's, but at $2000 it's hardly a reasonable purchase. 

 

Get one good GPU and stick with it until it doesn't do what you want it to do.

What you said here doesn't make any sense. So you don't care which performs better?

And this if I'm reading this correctly it sounds like you're saying you've always bought what you thought was better but how do you know which is better than and why do you care which is better if you said a line ago that you don't care which is better.

 

See my confusion here?

You said something about the results not being tailored to intel, why would I care at that point?

 

Im not gonna buy a $1k cpu. But it’s a safe assumption that the i7 would be better than an i5. So that’s what’s best. Haven’t seen amd gettinf the better of intel the past decade. So what other results should I go off?

Yeah because you mentioned that most intel vs amd comparisons have been horrible and I was asking why you think they were horrible.

 

Also i7 isn't necessary better than i5 the numbers that come after would also be a factor.

 

Also have you seen the new benchmarks from the new AMD chips? You realize they beat some of intels lower chips hands down and trade blows with the 9900k for cheaper right?

 

And not sure if you saw the previous comments I made when the Xeons and threadripper were brought up and how it was shown that AMD's chip offers more of everything and even beat intel's xeon in some cases.

 

But hey if you just like throwing your money at the number that comes on the packaging of a product as opposed to numbers that are derived from testing than by all means you do you.

The video that was posted is horrid. Neither the cpu or gpu are maxed aside from a few cases. Which isn't a clear deciding factor, if your testing at 1080p and neither are stressed, whats the point. I could keep my old stuff if that's the case. Showing their both the same with low fps at 1080p isn't really helping me. Unless its along the lines of detailed testing like GN does, even to the point of testing multiplayer as many don't. I don't care how well a single player game can run if it runs bad on mp.

 

In what generation has the lower series bested a higher series cpu?

 

No, haven't seen any of the new benchmarks. No point in seeing them as im not gonna build a new pc every time something new comes out.

 

Didn't see anything about those comments about them. As my original comments were towards the op's question. So xeon and tr wouldn't matter if he already has a system.

 

I threw my money at the best thing I could get. Unless there's some random youtube video that shows other wise.

You aren't going to find a situation where both cpu and gpu are 100% utilized, that's not how testing works. You provide the same environment for both components and observe what happens you can't magically make it so that both cpu and gpu are 10% utilized at every point during the test.

the i5 9600k solidly beats the i7 3770k

Then please kindly leave the discussion as what you say has no weight what so ever and is based on dated facts and personal opinions.

Xeon and Threadripper came in cause AMD and Intel options were brought in and someone including you I believe swore by intel only.

Playing certain games can utilize both 100%. No testing there.

Which has nothing to do with the context of new line ups but sure. Also aren't the same gen.

The discussion isn't about cpu's. Read the op's question or leave as you don't understand what they are asking.

Where is this oath located?  Does it also list everything Ive ever purchased?

What does the new benchmarks have to do with what I just said? I didn't watch them as I didn't buy anything having to do with them. Unless you mean the new benchmarks over a year old now?

Key word there is "certain" not all. So you're arguing for a super specific use case.

You're right it's about what gpu set up op should get and since the new RTX super cards and Navi cards have launched I don't think you're in any position to be recommending anything to OP since you don't look at new benchmarks

Quote above is there to show when you said you don't look at new benchmarks

You're right you never said that I was confusing you with another person. My bad.

See comment above regarding why new benchmarks are relevant in regards to recommending op a new card.
