1150 socket or 2011-3 ?

[The Mink]

Hi there, just wanted to know what would run faster for just gaming, that includes the highest end graphical mods for games such as skyrim with realvision ENB and the like....

So my question is, what would run faster for just gaming purpose's a 1150 socket cpu in this case the: Intel Core i7 4790K or a 2011-3 socket cpu in this case the Intel Core i7 5930K ?

i would look at overclocking the 5930K to 4ghz.

stick to 1050 when it comes to gaming. 2011-3 will not improve the performance on 90% of the games.

Ok thanks, just wasnt sure if upgrading to something as high end as that would really improve anything like that.

Thanks again.

the 2011-3 platform is more for benchmarking and multi-tasking. for games it has not benefits at all. plus you will be saving money in the Process.

it depends on what and how long you intend to use the machine for (i'm still using a 775), but generally the 2011-3 is going to run multiple GPU cards, and has ddr4 ram, saying that there aren't many games taht use multiple 6 or 8 cores - yet!, but when they do... motherboard and cpu should be where you spend the most of your budget in building a computer - other parts are likely to be replace or upgraded before them. see this;

bettter, yes
better by enough to double performace for double the price, not even close

"
Although they sound impressive, those advantages don't necessarily translate into significant performance gains in modern titles. Our tests demonstrate fairly little difference between a $240 LGA 1150 Core i5-4690K and a $1000 LGA 2011 Core i7-4960X, even when three-way graphics card configurations are involved. It turns out that memory bandwidth and PCIe throughput don't hold back the game performance of existing Sandy Bridge-, Ivy Bridge-, and Haswell-based machines.

Getting a 5xxx extreme processor for gaming alone is just a waste of money, a quad core LGA 1150/1155/1156 will equal its gaming performance for 1/3 the price.

Like everyone said, its a waste of money for gaming.

What you should do is buy one 980 to hold you over and wait for the high end maxwells to come out. Thats money well spent ;)

Hi,

Just purusing this thread when I saw your post. I'm considering upgrading to a mid-to-high-end Intel-based rig (thinking of the i5 4690k, myself) but now I'm thinking it's not worth doing that now if there's a new set of Haswell CPUs on the go, ... is this hearsay or is it actually happening very soon?

If there's new Haswell CPUs on the go, soon, I guess I'll just hold off, as I can only presume that would knock back the prices of the previous CPUs. I'm really interested in that i5 4690K, though. (with a Hyper 212 cooler; seems to be a popular choice)

the devi's canyon wasn't released too long ago. so no don't expect a new intel CPU intil Q2 2015.

the next intel gaming cpu will need a new mobo
haswell/refresh are for the same socket

intel normally does
mobo + cpu
compatable cpu
repeat
only stumble was with the socket 1156/1366 for first gen i5/i7

As others have said, stick to 1150. 2011v3 is designed more for workstations, games don't take advantage of the extra cores and capabilities that much.

Get i7 4790K, it's powerful enough to run everthing that you wish.
