Next project in the coming weeks will be converting my soon-to-be-older computer into a ad-hoc server of sorts. Will be interesting.

Full 3dmark benchmark results, sans overclocking of any kind.

Awesome!

Wait, did you really spend money just to benchmark your stuff?

 

[Crash]

No?

 

[seth]

Crash, you got almost the same benchmark I got, and I have a Xeon and a 970. Your i7 killed my Xeon of course, but my 970 outperformed your 980? That's not right.

Oh the demo version is tucked away neatly underneath the "EU SUCKS AND MAKES US PUT THIS MASSIVE FUCKING COOKIES BANNER ALL OVER OUR PAGES" banner. Screw you EU, screw you.

My old hodgepodge of a machine: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/5967154?

It's weird seeing Crash's i7 say 22nm and my i7 saying 45. Literally halved the width in 5 years

I'll try and download the demo overnight and we'll see how my i7 compares to both of yours

 

[YM]

Well you could just look that stuff up, there's a lot more to the benchmark than just the i7 stuff. I've got a 770, crash has a 900 series, and my mobo is 5 years old, so even if I had a 900 series card, it wouldn't be as good. I have a feeling (barring any hardware failures) I'll build a new PC for myself towards the end of this year.

Little closer now that I've played with overclocking some.

You've got a pretty good overclock on yours, pushing it far.

Here's my computah!
