[Official]TribalWar SUPERCOMPUTER thread

My home desktop machine was state of the badass art... in '07-'08.

Core 2 Duo E8400 and 8 GB on an Asus Striker Extreme with an 8800gt. Come at me, bro. Upgraded the system drive to an SSD when I brought it up to Windows 10.

Hell, my Plex server leaves it in the dust (NUC i7 5th gen)
 
You're still good 2 go in 2017 bro. Just get a laser cut X5460 that will fit in your 775 socket and overclock it to 3.8GHz. grab a GTX980 off ebay and you'll be fine for another year or so.

Whole upgrade cost you less than $250.

(I went with GTX960 and only spent $120 total)

I'll run some benchmarks later today, my weak point is prob graphics card.

Update: Ran the fire strike, noticed my bios is from 2014 and I'll likely need to update it. My graphics card is not very good.

Phase 2 upgrades to this system should include a new graphics card and a 144hz Gsync monitor, not sure if more RAM is worth it. PCI-E SSD is Phase 3 upgrade.

Next update is gonna be removal of the 120mm fan at the back of the case, replacing it with a 200+ CFM DC brushless server grade fan. Just have to modify the jack to hook up to power supply so it wont blow out my mobo.

I just realized it says windows 8. Odd. I am on 10. System looks slow in benches...but runs like a dream for what I do which isn't much. Should get a few more years out of this old girl.


OC @ 4.3ghz (to lazy to figure out how to get it any higher)

my mining rig doesn't really count as a super computer because it only has a dual-core pentium in it. But i did get an sli bridge to run some benchmarks on the 1080s.


3dmark won't install or run on the system for no apparent reason. So i cant benchmark firestrike and DX12 performance.

But:

P14,014 3dmark11: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 video card benchmark result - Intel Pentium G4620,MSI Z270 SLI PLUS (MS-7A59)

26,659 points in 3dmark06: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 video card benchmark result - Intel Pentium G4620,MSI Z270 SLI PLUS (MS-7A59)
 
I am looking at getting a new pc, I think my cpu is over 5 years old, I will probably go with an i5 again, not sure the i7 would be worth it for me. I don't follow this stuff anymore, but last I heard an i5 was still the best value for the performance.

I was going go with a 240 gig SSD for the main, and a 1 TB drive. I don't need room for 50 different games.

Go with PCIe 3.0 compatible processor and mobo combo for sure, its the future.
 
you cant help because it's a shitty intel based cpu causing the performance loss.


amd taking too long to release their r3 stuff
















shitty intel cpu doesn't impact the mining performance at all though, which is why i got it.
