$1000 Xeon better that i5?

[Adnanklink]

So im going to see speeds and frame rates drop

You will see drops, but the amount at which that happens will depend on how cpu bound the game is.

Battlefield, and Skyrim are my main games and they dont hit it constantly. I see 50-80% usage

Dam, i kinda just wanted it because it was so cheap. So not something u would recommend staying with for a little while. However i could sell my i5 and mobo, get that cpu and mobo then sell the cpu and get a ivybride-e cpu couldnt i. I could at least sell it for like $350-400 right?

Looking at sold ebay listings, they sold anywhere from $450 to $900.

See this? Sell the CPU so you can get a new GPU.

I do also do alot of multitasking, i have like 20 tabs open on a regular day. I would also start folding again i just need to know if i get that CPU would it be a good investment in the long run. To resell after a couple months or something. My school might even buy it from me.

So don't go over to a new platform? Just get the CPU and resell

 

 

Also read my post above this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That cpu is designed to handle a lot more than 20tabs. lol

I would fold 24/7 to maybe

Either sell it for a good profit or go ahead and fold in it if you have the resources.

What do you mean if you have the resources 

[Adnanklink]

It sounds like you really want it, in that case i cant really blame you and go right ahead. I just think that it will not benefit you very much as a cpu and that you can do your build a lot more good with the money you make selling it.

Okay so would it be better to just get the CPU and resell or get a P9X79 and get a IvyBridge-E CPU after this one sells

The money to burn or parts to make a folding rig

Well i would be selling my i5 and its mobo and getting this cpu and a 2011 mobo then selling the cpu and getting a ivy bridge one most likely

Don't buy it then.

[AMD Lover]

i would be making money though wouldnt i. Sorry i just dont think theres going to be that much of a performance downgrade but if theres going to be a 10FPS performance hit then WRITE IN ALL CAPS & SCREAM IN MY FACE TO WAKE ME UP, please

[AMD Lover]

is there going to be a 10FPS difference?......

Is that supposed to mock me?

[Bluejay0]

A definant drop. But we won't know an exact number. So many variables.

[AMD Lover]

Is that supposed to mock me?

No, your a bluebird, not a mocking jay, jk, i just have that erg to buy it and if its going to drop me from 50-60FPS in BF3 to 35-45FPS i won't get it so i guess im saying. Its a good mobo, good server cpu and i have a good overclocked MSI 660 TI so if u think it will most likely drop that much this will be my last question and ill leave u to do better things

It's honestly better to have the i5 overall. It's still a good editing CPU. Better to save up and eat dinner someplace

 

That pun tho

Then how do you have money to buy that Xeon? *DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUN*

[AMD Lover]

Then how do you have money to buy that Xeon? *DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUN*

can u message me real quick, like personal message

[AMD Lover]

Anyone else reading this is it going to drop performance dramatically over a i5
