The i7-3960X has become a "foreign garbage": Can it drive the GTX 1080?
|
Many people think that playing games only requires a good graphics card and a decent CPU. This was true a few years ago, after all, games at that time did not require a high number of multi-core CPUs. But in the past two years, if you look at mainstream games, you really can't even think about starting the game without a quad-core CPU. ▲The more realistic explosion scenes are due to the CPU's participation in calculations. Many new games also come with technologies such as NVIDIA Physx physical acceleration to bring more realistic physical effects, and the calculation of such effects requires the CPU's participation in calculations, so the importance of the CPU in games is much higher than before. The technology industry is developing rapidly, especially the chip manufacturing industry. Looking at the development of CPUs, the current desktop flagship has developed to 10 cores and 20 threads, and the price is also quite expensive. Looking back at the previous generations of flagship processors, are they unable to show their skills in games? The top model i7-3960X of the Sandy Bridge-E fever platform is a typical top flagship product that has been eliminated. Although it is called eliminated, its specifications are much stronger than the current mainstream high-end products. Can the former top 6-core flagship priced at 7999 yuan make a comeback after 5 years? With the elimination of a large number of foreign server equipment, Intel's second-generation top flagship i7-3960X has entered the market at a price of thousands of yuan. This processor, which was priced at 7999 yuan back then, can now be bought at a price of 1000 yuan or even less. It has to be said that it has attracted a large number of budget-conscious spec-conscious people. Even though the i7-3960X is three generations behind the current top new flagship processor and has lower specifications, it was still the top flagship back then, and it can still beat AMD's current products. ▲The foreign garbage platform is going to use GTX1080, so cool▲Test platform information▲i7-3960X only supports PCI-E2.0 Return to the game's requirements for the CPU, but the 6-core 12-thread overclockable design allows the i7-3960X, a foreign garbage, to fight for a few more years. In addition, the X79 platform itself has a performance bonus of four-channel memory. How is the game performance? What kind of sparks will it have when paired with the latest flagship GTX1080? i7-3960X itself does not support PCI-E 3.0, only PCI-E 2.0, so can it play the full strength of GTX1080 in the game? Actual performance: It's not unusable <br /> 3DMARK performance comparison before and after overclocking Popular mainstream game performance From the above test, the i7-3960X still has a good performance with GTX1080. In terms of basic tests, the i7-3960X overclocked to 4.1GHz has a significant improvement in scores. Looking at the mainstream games, with the 4.1GHz i7-3960X driving the GTX1080, the frame rate of the game is absolutely smooth. Although there is a certain gap compared to the test results of the latest platform, it is not unusable, right?
