So Me and My Friend R Gamers, Cs Go Mostly , I got A Titan X As A Bday Present The Other Day and since my friend is wanting to build a pc i gave it to him, his budget is 500$ without the Graphics card obviously so any ideas of what could go with The Titan X?
Doodle_1,
Giving a GTX Titan X a good run is difficult to do for $500- you'd spend nearly the whole budget on the CPU. But, 2nd generation i7's are semi-magic: here's the first completed listing I saw on Ebahhh:
CORSAIR VENGEANCE C70 PC+ASUS P8Z77-V LX i7-2700K QC 3.5GHz 16GB RAM 1TB 120GB sold for $350 (10 June 16)
An i7-3770K would be better, but the i7-3700K has a good Passmark single-threaded rating even for today of
2011. For comparison, a new i7-6800K has a rating of
2017. The Passmark CPU average mark is
8813.
And an i7-2700K on ASUS P8Z77-V board O/C to 4.5GHz / 16GB RAM /
GTX Ttian X / Marvell Raid VD 0 :
Rating:
4951
CPU:
11001
2D: 1021
3D:
10895
Mem: 2867
Disk: 2520
The ASUS P8Z77 appears to extract a lot of performance from the i7-2700K. For comparison, an i7-6700K O/C to 4.6Ghz makes a CPU score of 12193 on an ASUS Z170 Pro gaming board. That's a good score for a 4-core- and the single thread rating of an i7-6600K is one of the highest, but placed into context of calculation cycles/sec, that's +20% in +4 generations and a $350 CPU on a $150 motherboard.
This is showing that CPU on a good motherboard can wake up a Titan X. The Passmark average 3D mark fro Titan X is 10854- so the system above is keeping up with current Titan X builds.
If anyone can build a new system for $350 with a Passmark rating of nearly 5000- I'll eat it for lunch.
Cheers,
