Nyt Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Hi guys, So my friend who is an LN2 overclocker for Team South Africa has offered me a trade of his i7 950 and ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 for my 1090t and X6 . Do you think this is a good trade ? He has gotten the i7 950 to 4.2GHz on 1.275v and his board is Tr channel with SLI and Xfire which is appealing for memory bandwidth and for a second GTX580 in the future . I think it might be a good trade , what about you guys ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 IMHO that's a good trade. The Asus P6TD Deluxe board is outstanding and you won't have any trouble getting the i7 950 up to 4.2Ghz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locutus Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Definitely a great trade. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/100?vs=146 You'll at least get a decent performance boost, and those are at stock clocks. OC'd you'd probably get much butter numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercman Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 sounds like a great trade to me.the i7 950 will beat your x6 everywhere accept for rendering where the amount of cores make a big difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 sounds like a great trade to me.the i7 950 will beat your x6 everywhere accept for rendering where the amount of cores make a big difference. This. I'd take the trade in a heartbeat - though I'd bet the i7 still has an edge with hyperthreading enabled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkypoo7 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Another +1 to take it. Youll get essentially a free performance boost and if he covers shipping it's even a better deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
