Essh, that sounds unfortunate. 6800k would be good for gamings coming in the future since more games are becoming multithreaded. But, it also costs more and I would say you can benefit more by saving the money and spending it else where. I will personally upgrade to the 2011 chipsets when I want to get 8 core or higher since that should really show the benefits of havng the cores. But thats why I am waiting until Zen to see if they can convince Intel to finally lower the prices. With that being said though, 2011 at least has options of adding 8/10 core CPUs where as the other one doesn't. So it depends on how much you care about that as well. Good luck with ur PC though, it will be rape either way @_@ |
Money isn't really a big issue. My biggest fear is though that spending double for a CPU that isn't faster despite having more cores but in turn low clock. My intuition tells me that a 4.2GHz 4 core is faster in gaming than a 6 or 8 core at 3.6 GHz. I'm not so much into overclocking that I wouldn't touch it.
Can I assume that a 6 core CPU will only use 4 cores on a game and use the other two for multitasking if the game only supports 4? Or will it somehow spread everything over all cores? Because currently I have the problem that whenever I play and then turn on Twitch or Youtube the game will start to stutter even if the it's not at 100%. And I doubt that's a problem with the GPU since I can trace all of the stutter in gaming back to the CPU.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
