Title: Computer Upgrade
Post by: RickJ on Mon 01/04/2019 14:13:17
Well, it's that time of year to get a new development computer.  Here are the CPU specifications of the new unit.  Let me know what you think.   (laugh)

Needs more cores, I think. Have you considered quad-SLI graphics cards?

But can it run Crysis?

No but I'm thinking of using motherboard that accommodates 8 CPUs.   So that would be like 800 cores and 1600 threads.  Of course that would require, like,  a jiga-byte of ram and hyper-ventilated coolers, you know, to get the full advantage.

Does it do hyperflagging? And what about a port for my Power Glove?

If you are already going for RGB lighting, you may as well pay the extra for RGBA.

  • Cores: 100
  • Threads: 200
  • DDR5 RAM support: Sure, probably
  • Base clock: 1.4 PHz
  • Overclock capable, but doing so might create a small black hole inside your CPU (and void your warranty)
  • PCIe Lanes: 28. Oh you're really gonna use more? Please...
  • Socket LGA1151 compatible. We're as surprised as you are
  • RGB lighting capable



That will probably run all new AGS games  :=

Hell yes, all of them simultaneously.

I can't wait until I can upgrade and finally enable RTX real-time raytracing in 5 Days a Stranger.
