Looking to upgrade for hopeful FPS gains?

Modding things? What are you gonna do,flash different bios versions. There is a a 1 to 1 Million chance you'll ever manage to brick your motherboard doing that. What else is there to mod? Adding random stuff using Magic?

Intel has the most processing power too. With all those false statements you make, I can't believe you're actually working at a computer store :S Sorry.


As for mining, you can't really gain anything with a single GPU anymore. With that huge Litecoin/Dogecoin boom in good ol 'Murica you're just wasting energy. People are now using like 6 GPU's on a single Mobo, thus lower the max gain everyone gets.

As for the Xeon E3-1230, it essentially is a i7 4770k/4771 except without Integrated Graphics and not overclockable, but much cheaper.

Processing power isn't the issue. Below is a photo of Twilight Princess running with my active CPU and GPU stats to the side. FPS and VPS is also displayed.


Going outside the realm of flashing the BIOS, the layout of the motherboard, as I stated, worked very well with my chassis. And, being so used to modding my Android phones and flashing them, I have always preferred being on the safe side.

Because of how the CPU architecture is built, Intel does have a lot more processing power. However, you misread and misquoted what I said when I mentioned a crap ton of processing power. Recently AMD holds the position for having the most "processing power", meaning in terms of calculations per second, which one can easily find out by doing (Core Speed * # of cores). The "high-end" retailer one out currently, the FX-8350, for instance, has a "processing power" of 33.6 GHz, because 8 cores * 4.0 GHz. However, a CPU comes down way more to just it's "processing power" (I'm using the word processing power for lack of a better term. In fact, I know there is a term out there that is talking about just the clock speed... Maybe that's the term, I do not know honestly. )

I'm going to have to look into the server thing some more however. I got my 4771 at a really good deal for the time (A little under $300), and it was the best price for the most quality when I purchased it. Just something to me seems off about using a server architecture with a desktop OS...
