Black64 Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Well it definately is better than the 1090t - no doubt about it. But pricing now is a little steep. Once Ivy Bridge 22nm come out, I see the CPU prices of the 2500k and 2600k dropping. If you want to save even more cash, go for the 2500k instead. It is a solid performer, good overclocker and gaming doesnt use HT much anyway so I have no problem recommending it. Thanks for help You have seen how expensive they are right ? He said he wanted to save money, not make him bankrupt Exactly my point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red1776 Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 If it was not for the fact that they are SLI only, I would build one around it for my next build, it's getting to be that time again. ....I will have to hide from my wife for a while of course.

SLI only? You would think they would make it both X-fire and SLI, OK now I don't want it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 EVGA's SR series' boards are overkill. ...and stupid, considering that they have no real purpose at all. They don't do anything particularly well (especially that board, since it's unbalanced in the amount of memory it can support AND splits the PCIe lanes up between the CPUs in a way that screws with SLI). Then again, I never really saw the point of them other than the e-peen factor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 99.999% sure that SLI (or hell, anything with modern 3D acceleration) won't work in an VM. Last I checked the most you get is an abstracted, generic, 3D accelerator that passes commands to the host GPUs for rendering. AFAIK it's not fast nor does it take advantage of any multi-GPU configurations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Pretty sure the answer is a no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
