Does anybody have insanely unbalanced build?

[SoftenButterCream]

Come on guys step it up

No one with a 860k and gtx 980 sli?

Im disapointed with you

/s

I had my 860k with a r9 290x lighting since i didnt have a card for a week lol

[Will_Man_Dude]

I've got a P8Z68 Deluxe and a i5 3750k with a radeon hd 6670

I see people on this forum with i7s and GTX 750Tis/760s/R9 270s, and all I can think is, I hope you didn't buy that rig with gaming in mind. At least not their #1 priority.

 

My priority was for gaming. I also needed a good CPU for rendering videos and emulation.

It's still my #1 priority though, just didn't have the money at the time I picked my system out because I started off with an FX-6300 and one R9 270.

 

Also, BeamNG is a bitch.

@LinusTech maybe a bottlenecking at its worst video, ft. pentium g3258 and 3 way 980?

I have a Radeon HD 7750 that I replaced in my main system, running in my parents old HP Core2 Duo 1.8ghz machine. The card had 2gb of DDR3 and system only had 1.5gb of DDR2 (and only a 1.0 slot). Nobody really uses it anymore (my parents moved to an i5 Mac mini), so I installed Win 10 preview and dumped TF2 on it. TF ran like a boss. So i figured I'd go ham on DOTA 2 and...splat... I'd didn't measure it, but I'd estimate somewhere in the realm of 7FPS... kind of like really bad stop motion animation.

If possible, a comparison with a Wolfdale Core 2 Duo at the same clock speed would be good as well.

Why not... I'll take the flack. My last build was an FX 8150 and a GTX 690. It originally was suppose to have my newer GTX 560 Ti in it but I got a pretty big sum of money right at ordering the parts and went all out on a new 690 (was way before the Titan). I originally picked up the 8150 because I wanted to experiment with 8 core cpu. Conclusion: it was shit, never get bulldozer.

The one in my sig is a pretty unbalanced laptop

Well right now I have a gtx 210 with a Intel I5 4690k but just decided to take it out and use the intergrated Cpu graphics

Was the GTX 210 that bad?

Relevant nickname.

Please do some benchmarks sir.

[A bottleneck of Coke]

it was like £20

Do you have any game with a benchmark utility so you an do a bench and share with the community.

[A bottleneck of Coke]

I'll post some pics

sorry don't have any proper games yet until I get my gtx 980

[A bottleneck of Coke]

Just gonna use my Xbox one for now

I could do a benchmark, got my LGA775 mobo working again (its on its 3rd life now), I'm curious myself as to what the results will be.

if you dont mind me asking, why'd you go with a single 980 over 2 970s?

Probably doesnt want a second card wasted on games that dont support sli at launch or don support it at all( evil within , wolfenstein the new order etc)

[A bottleneck of Coke]

Don't want to put it in my build it will just make it slower

[A bottleneck of Coke]

Did the pic upload

well the performnce decrease is about 20% less for about 150$ cheaper? SLI support doesnt get released too much after the initial launch

There we go

Depends on the game.

 

Some people prefer a 980 because its less hassle , not saying its the best bang for the buck by any means.

A 980 oced to 1500 mhz is a mean ass gpu thought.

[A bottleneck of Coke]

Actually I just really like the reference design and the reference 970 is £330 I think so might as well spend the extra
