The CPU IMC supports up to 2400 and so do many motherboards, it's the desktop OC boards that can push a lot higher with CPU IMC overclocks. | ||

A non-founders 2080ti is £1100 while i got my 1080ti during the launch rush for £730 on a really fancy model, some of them being £650. The tech is better than last gen for sure, but i wouldn't pay that much more this much later for it. https://www.overclock.net/forum/379-rumors-unconfirmed-articles/1706630-hopc-nvidia-allegedly-terminates-sponsorship-stance-against-preordering-hardwar.html | ||

in my opinion i have no opinion yet - got money saved up - i ve waited so long i can wait a bit longer to either go from 970 to 1080 ti (depending on cost) or go with a 20xx. was kinda pumped for 20xx but the nvidia panel was rather not very well done imho | ||

Your best bang for the buck would be doing the GPU now* and then doing the CPU/Mobo/RAM in another 1-2 years. *Probably worth seeing how the 2K line shakes out first. | ||

architecture, cores, HT, clock speed, RAM performance and less losses to spectre All of those factors are pretty big for W3 cpu performance. It's heavy on both GPU and CPU in places but it scales well enough that the CPU isn't a major concern as long as you've got something modern-ish and aren't pushing high framerates. They have some impressive numbers like 25-30% perf gains going from 4c8t to 6c12t and >20% perf gains going from standard RAM to high speed | ||

650ti: 28nm Kepler, 768:64:16 core at 928mhz base, 86.4GB/s memory bandwidth 730: 28nm Kepler, 384:16:8 core at 902mhz base, 14.4 or 40GB/s memory bandwidth depending on version.. At least 2x worse on every spec, but 4x and possibly 6x slower on some key ones. If the card still works it still works! | ||

A 650ti is several times more powerful than a 730, it's a bigger GPU belonging to the same generation under the hood. A 730 is pretty much a "here's something to plug a screen into" card for systems that don't have integrated graphics rather than being meant for gaming and such. 650ti is old, but it was meant as a mid tier gaming card back in the day and still functions fine for light graphical loads. 650ti: 28nm Kepler, 768:64:16 core at 928mhz base, 86.4GB/s memory bandwidth 730: 28nm Kepler, 384:16:8 core at 902mhz base, 14.4 or 40GB/s memory bandwidth depending on version..

So i guess the graphics card may work still even though its 5 years old. Tbh i'm mainly going to stream SCR 720P 60 FPS if I can and that's all I honestly need. I also may play cs go but not planning to stream that. So i was just wondering if puttin in 650 ti inside the rig was even worth it | ||

So i was just wondering if puttin in 650 ti inside the rig was even worth it I used to play CS:GO with a 650 ti and a core i5 3570k overclocked to 4,5GHz until a few months ago, I remember getting about 120 fps, but not sure with which resolution that was. Either 1920x1200 or 1280x800 @ 60Hz. Graphic options were pretty much default. | ||
