[Review] Hat der uralt Sockel 1366 eine Chance gegen Skylake? Westmere als CPU Geheimtipp..

[Chris-W201-Fan]

Als reine PhysX reicht doch ne gt640

 

[Chris-W201-Fan]

Da sind Afaik die gtx 750 besser, die lassen sich aber wohl nicht problemlos als PhysX Karte nutzen.

Außerdem sind die anfälliger für nen Coreschaden, da die bei Seti und co stark belastet werden. Hab schon von unzähligen töten gtx 750 bei dauereinsatz geleseb, allerdings zugegeben, alle overclocked.

Habe ne 560er Ti da

 

[Chris-W201-Fan]

Fehlt noch ne 980ti als Main Karte

Hi,

Can anyone please help me with the choice of buying a GPU ?

I'm pretty much on a low budget so I can't spend a lot and I might end up not buying any GPU at all because of this.

Alright so, I would like to buy a used gpu from eBay and I don't have more than 50 euros to spend for this ( including shipping which is about 8-10 euros from Germany to my country Macedonia )

I'm thinking between gtx 560 ti, gtx 460, gtx 295 or maybe if I'm lucky for my budget gtx 580

The main reason for upgrading my current Afox Nvidia GT 630 4GB is because it limits the power of my CPU Intel Xeon E5620 2,4 GHz overclocked to 3,6 GHz in rendering videos.
So, with the new gpu I would like to make sure the gpu doesn't bottleneck the cpu in rendering but I would also like to be able to play some games with the new GPU, so I'm kinda looking for some balance here between video editing and gaming. I really wouldn't like buying a gpu which gives 1 minute faster renders in 15 mins render video but is much worse in games .

Alright so, here's my current PC

CPU: Intel Xeon E5620 2,4 GHz overclocked to 3,6 GHz
GPU: Afox Nvidia GT 630 4GB
RAM: Kingston 12GB ddr3 1333 MHz running at 1600 MHz
HDD: 500GB
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64bit

Pleas let me know which GPU would you recommend me to buy, if any of those which I mentioned or maybe another one that you'd suggest

 

[Knogle]

Ich bin fuer die GTX 295, bestes Paket, und guenstiger als der Rest, dafuer bombig im Rendern
Bei dem Budget kriegste nix besseres

To translate what Knogle just said:"I'd take the GTX 295, the best choice overall and cheaper than the others, really good for rendering too.
For that budget you won't get anything better."

Is it possible to use GTX 295 on my 500W PSU ?
My PSU is Cooler Master B500 V2
Cooler Master: B500 ver.2

I know that Nvidia recommends minimum 680W PSU, but isnt that kinda way much more than the actual needed ?
After doing some math I see that my PC would use less than 500W

GPU: 289W
CPU: 105W ( Intel Xeon E5620 2,4 GHz overclocked to 3,6 GHz )
IOH: 40W
HDD: 20W ( ? )
RAM: 6W ( 3X Kingston 4GB DDR3 1333 MHz running on 1600 Mhz with 1,6V DRAM )
Coolers: 4W ( 1x 120mm 1x 92mm )
Motherboard: MSI X58 Pro-E ( ??? really no idea for this )

That said, the power consumption on load would be less than 500W ( without motherboard power consumption ), if Im not doing any mistake here I dont really get it why they would recommend minimum 680W PSU.

Im not really sure about this so I'd appreciate seeing what you guys think about this

If your rendering software can handle two GPUs take the GTX 295, but be sure your PSU can handle this card and the rest of your system.

The GTX 560Ti is nearly as fast as the GTX 295 in games (!) but takes rigorous less energy.

If you can get the GTX 580 for that price, take this card it's good in games and rendering.


Edit: too slow^^

I think 500W can be critical for a GTX 295, I would organize a good 600W PSU.

 

[Chris-W201-Fan]

I am not sure, if the 295gtx is the right choice, because not every game is optimized for SLI.

would try to get a amd hd5870

The B500v2 is a cheap budget-power supply for office- and budget-gaming-pcs. I think, it is not a good partner for a 590, espicially with a power-wasting 1366-platform, caused by the extremly high power consumption. And i think, SETI does much higher load as games, so the thermal- and power-specifications should be used by 100%.

You should use an another power supply... Really.

Das sind mal eben 130 % der Nennleistung, das ist ganz sicher nicht gesund für ein Netzteil. Schon 100% kann man nicht mit jedem Netzteil fahren (und sollte man auch gar nicht).

Meiner Erfahrung nach sind die OEM-Netzteile bei Dell und Co. in der Regel auch keine Chinaböller, gerade bei Servern und Workstations.

 

[euMelBeumel]

Ich wollte auch gerade schreiben, dass das vermeintliche Dell "Billig-Teil" sicher hochwertiger ist als das CM.

 

[bingo88]

Ich traue zwar deratigen Tools nicht, aber eins meiner Systeme (FX-8320, 2x GTX 580) wird relativ gut getroffen. Unter synthetischer Volllast habe ich jedenfalls so um die 750W an der Steckdose gemessen, 779W hat mir das Tool gerade errechnet. Mit einem 580W Netzteil würde ich den Rechner jedenfalls nicht in Betrieb nehmen wollen. Sofern die Kiste überhaupt läuft, die Spannungsqualität dürfte äußerst bescheiden ausfallen Ich finde ja noch nicht mal mein jetziges 800W Netzteil optimal für das Setup (gut, die zweite GTX 580 kam auch erst später). Im Realbetrieb (Spiele) liegt die Leistungsaufnahme allerdings unter 700W. Viel Luft ist da trotzdem nicht mehr, zumal das mit steigendem Alter des NTs nicht besser wird.

That Coolermaster PSU should be able to handle the GTX 295. That thing doesn't really consume that much power. Gamestar once did a test and a system with a QX6850 and a GTX295 takes a bit less than 470W under load. The 775-platform with that QX6850 that was running at 3GHz should even be more power-consuming than that E5620 on a 1366-motherboard.
You might consider undervolting the GPU just to get sure, but I don't think that it would be necessary.

EDIT: The GTX295 just needs a 6pin and one 8pin-connector too, so I really don't think that it consumes that much power...
