Please explain!! Tyntje 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think a 6 core or 8 core Intel CPU means better for gaming. You are wrong. You only need 4 cores. Will the 5930K or 5960X ever be mainstream? Not for many more years to come. By the time games need more cores the 5930K and 5960X will probably have dated technology so the extra cores maybe useless in the future of gaming. You'd think an 8 core AMD should outperform a 4 core i7 but more cores doesn't mean better performance. As of right now the i5-6600K is the sweet spot for gaming for single GPU performance. If you are looking for a SLI/Crossfire build the 5820K is the way to go. Because it has x28 for its max number of PCI-E Lanes versus x16 PCI-E lanes for quad core i7 and i5. If you want 3 to 4 GPUs then go with the 5960X with x40 PCI-E lanes. Edited February 5, 2016 by HellTigris Tyntje 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

That's awesome!!! http://ark.intel.com/products/63698 For each M.2 you need an additional 4 PCI-E lanes. Using 3x video cards and 2 M.2 cards. Here are your slots. x16 - 780Ti x8 - 780 Ti x8 - 780 Ti 4x - M.2 4x - M.2 This is 40 PCI-E lanes in use. Make sure if you buy an M.2 card that you are not bottle necking your video card(s) Edited February 8, 2016 by HellTigris Tyntje 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
