[For Sale] i7 4820K R1200

Still available... Lol Because of the LGA 2011 slow mover and first time I'm on this site for months now
 
@Maximums_Rickimus, interesting question... less cores but higher clock on them, then there is the higher frequency memory support with a bit more potential bandwidth

And also a note on PCI Express 3 vs 2... but then I read this PCI Express 3.0 vs. 2.0: Is There a Gaming Performance Gain? - Hardware Secrets

Interesting. I had the exact train of thought last night and after doing the research I realized even with the difference between PCI E 3.0 and 2.0 it won't be worth it at all. The 3930K is quite a lot more powerful than the 4820K. Hate derailing this thread but with 40 bus lanes I'm not even sure that it matters at all whether you have PCI E 3.0 or 2.0. Since most X79 boards have PCI E 16x on at least 2 lanes and 8x on all four lanes you will never see any performance degradation with PCI E 2.0 unless you want to connect a PCI E extender board thingy (not sure what you call it lol). You can expect small performance degradations at anything less than 8x on PCI E 2.0 and 4x on PCI E 3.0 to sum it up.
 
I've seen all the stats and videos on how it shouldn't make a difference...

I have however experienced a weird staggering feeling running a 980Ti on a GA-EP45T-UD3R (PCI 2.0), 16GB Dual DDR3-2400 with an X5470 average load around 85% in game (Neverwinter). As soon as the 980Ti went into an Asus X99-Deluxe (PCI 3.0) with 16GB Quad DDR4 @ 2166 with an E5-2620-v3 at around 60% average load, the staggering wasn't there anymore.

I don't recall there being a big FPS variance between the two platforms, and GPU usage was the same in the given areas....
Pity I didn't investigate and document more of what I was doing, so now you can only hypothesize that the game is memory bandwidth intensive for textures, or that there is actually a gremlin on PCI 2.0 :devilish:

You could however get this here fine 4820K and give us your assessment on gaming performance difference ;)

LOL we are completely derailing this poor man's for sale thread but at least it gets bumped to the top everytime.

Neverwinter is an extremely CPU intensive game and will max out your CPU. It used to max out my 4770 on all cores and that's a difficult thing to do. It's a great game but don't get me started on it because the platform for the game is complete trash with many issues. It's mostly because it is a free to play game and the programming team is very small but I still love it. So I think one would have to do a lot more tests because with the older CPUs there were quite a few short comings. I have tested various CPU benchmarks (I know, I know... benchmarks...) on the core 2 quads and large rendering areas tend to be the bane in their existence. It's a can of worms you don't want to open.

Haha you have very much tempted me into buying this CPU and doing a test for results now. It would be very interesting to see how the 4820k runs compared to the 3930k in real game performance. Would be some very valuable research.

I only recently got my X79 platform and I have since done quite a bit of research and I have to say that according to a lot of people it is one of intel's best platforms ever. Even TYC "upgraded" from a 8700k to a X79 system and recommends it as one of his favorite platforms ever.

 
@VlamJames40 bud that's not normally how it works around here. You say you're interested in the thread, and the responsibility is on YOU to private message the seller to do the deal.
