Is that CPU overclocked? and if so why?

From what ive read here that its useless for gaming but I could be wrong . . . . Heh I usually am : D

 

[tom_gr7]

no its not overclocked, the K version means it can be overclocked, however, like you said you wont see much benefit for gaming.

you could drop it a notch to save a few quid.

 

[MadMan]

No its not overclocked but it can be. Thats what the k is for.

 

[Tadhg21]

Cool, I think i'll add more Ram as I use AutoCAD and Rendering programs alot.

So why should I not get the Sli of the 680's as I probably wont be able to afford it in the future heh

 

[tom_gr7]

well a single 680 is gonna be a right beast, and to be honest ya dont really need two 680's for one screen, although if you wanted to have three screens then yeah would be a good idea.

But, its your rig, so you want dual 680's for massive frames per seconds and gaming performance then you go for it!

 

[Tadhg21]

Heh oke I believe ya. I'll stick with the 680. This will give 60+ FPS during BF3 right?

Thanks for all the help guys much appreciated!!

Thanks for all the help guys much appreciated!!

one 680 will give you more than 60fps in bf3! dual 680's are gonna give ya well over a hundred, may dual 580's give me 100-120 fps on ultra!

 

[Tadhg21]

Sweet then im happy. Just need to order the damn thing.

 

[Wolvo7]

Budget isnt a concern right now heh

Let me help you out, just get 2 GTX 690 in SLI! See there's your problem fixed, you can thank me later

 

[Tadhg21]

Thats just crazy haha
