Nah, ill soldier on until skylake with the 4790k, once its out of warranty ill delid it and clock it a bit more, not that its any slouch as it is for gaming. I need to get out of the habit of cpu upgrades, been through 5 in 18 months.And x99![]()

Respect....a part of me loved x58 and it's longevity...![]()
Still running my x58 I7 [email protected] and it still seems to be enough for gaming on any single gpu card.
Yeah...it is ....now whack a hex core xeon in there and it will be good for another 24 months maybe longer![]()
If youve held on this long, personally id suggest waiting until early 2016 for intels skylake. I dont see the point now of moving to Z97 which will go eol after the release of the broadwell cpu's this summer. X99 is an option too if you feel you will make use of it's features.I might be upgrading at some point this year but that is an option i am thinking about.

I suspect that if their is gonna be a KPE model, it will likely cost the price of a full blown 12gb tx.980Ti KPE anyone?
If this is definitely the Titan X albeit it less memory and no compute stuff i.e a proper 780 Ti successor then I'll buy it come launch day![]()
I would wait and see if Skylake genuinely offers a significant increase in gaming.
To my knowledge there is no compute stuff to strip out anyway, Titan x does not have do. So only thing would be 6gb less memory. Though maybe I am missing something. Probably 980ti will come in around £600 or less depending on what amd do.

£700 because ... Nvidia![]()
So am guessing it looks like NVidia is going be falling behind AMD again when it come to The Vram amount they going put on there high end GPU
IE
Nvidia 980TI 6GB
AMD 390X 8GB
Good point regarding vram, though if the rumours are true about the 390 being fitted with an AIO, this will make it an instant no for me personally. Wouldnt have the room in the case for it.The 390X would be the better choice imho, 8GB of lighting fast HBM over 6GB GDRR5 anyday.
