Erkkkk, i5-750 GTX 1080 stil better than i5-4790K + GTX 980 Ti (provided you game at 4K)



If you wanna see the fps comparison, go straight to 6:20. Hmmm if you have old PC, upgrade path looks like GPU ---> 4K monitor ---> CPU

cool! thankx!

And you know how difficult it is to get i5-750 to reach 3.7Ghz.

That comparison would've been better if it were done on the same card.

Come to think of it I should do that but meh, it's going to be time consuming.

oh btw I'll be having a LIVE session with the GTX 1060 tomorrow night.

What I can tell you guys is that I love the GTX 1060.

From the sound of it, it seems like it's better than 480?

Not-a-fanboy-here

Actually with AIO cooler, that i5-750 is pretty good for an old CPU. I had i5-750 last year with Aurora R2 mobo. Stable at 3.99 Ghz (BCLK 133 Mhz x 24 Multiplier).

I think the video is quite cool. If you have old CPU like i5-750 and have very limited budget for upgrade, going for GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 still feasible if gaming at the right resolution to fully use the GPU capability. Kinda proved too that 1080P gaming with the new gen GPU looked like a bit of overkill because its still very much CPU bound.

Hrm. I need to try OCing again. Last I tried, couldn't even hit 3.2 properly. Maybe my i5 760 not so good.

It is one big ass card and rather heavy too. My Palit GTX1080 Gamerock could not fit in the casing. In the end I takeout the small drive bay by sawing off the rivets and hammer out the broken rivets. The drive bays is not use anyway, no harm taken out. It rather heavy now and hanging up there by screw and PCI slot. I think I am going to get a stick or something to support the card. After installing the card, the PC is really heavy, feels like dumb bell.

Thanks to my brother, he help me to saw off the rivets with tools. Not exactly the right tool but it works. For anyone out there wants to remove rivet, google "how to remove rivets from pc case".


Finally fit in. The cables are rather messy, have clean things up later.

after tinkering for an hour, gave up...
brain can't learn how to link the hwinfo sensors to the widgets

I give up Skylake upgrade and wait for Kabylake, after reading that an OCed i5 2500K @ 4.5GHz and 2133MHz DDR3 are possibly on par with stock i5 6500 and DDR4

Case upgrade !

Really need to control impulse buy behavior.
I bought Predator X34 monitor, then forced to upgrade GPU for better performance, then forced to change ( or upgrade ) casing due to GPU cooler size

Centurion5 casing? Since it looks like you have rotary tool, you should open a hole near the PSU so the cable can route to the back. (and also hide those unused cable)

No need buy lifter la , use lego

looking at your sig, next upgrade is mobo+cpu+ram



cpu bottleneck

Sked to oc my 3770k..sked tak jadi...later kaboom...but at the same time wondering will my cpu bottleneck my gpu..

Wooot. From your tone, it sounds like you love it more than RX480.
But the big question is, do you love it more than GTX980?

IMO, 4K monitor is overkill now. Especially when a USD600-700 card cannot even play 4K with max settings @ 60fps.

Going to 1440p Gsync 144Hz first is a better option. At least you have a good monitor to browse reviews lol.

Monitor ---> GPU ----------------> CPU

That is true if you are upgrading sequentially. What if you upgrade all at a time?
IMHO, once should try matching their GPU with the native resolution of the monitor. E.g. gaming at 1440p on GTX1070 vs 1080p on GTX1080, which one will you choose?
