30 fps is playable. 60 is good. The stutter at 40-50 FPS is annoying as hell. That's the problem with my 270, it's enough to play the games but can't hold a stable 60+ fps and I get that annoying stutter. Hate it.
In the beginning with console games, they actually ran at 60FPS, like a MT: Pacific Rift. 60FPS goodness. But as games became more bloated, 30FPS was chosen. The first time I experience 30FPS I was mildly irritated, but I didn't mind. Fast forward to a year ago, I was playing GTA 5 and I hated it. It doesn't run at 30FPS on current/last gen consoles. You're lucky if it runs 24FPS. Now, even with a 750 ti, 60 is love, 60 is life, and I booted up the PS3 for the first time in a while and nearly vomited.
the Wii U is probably the most terrible piece of hardware, I was watching one of my cousins play a Lego game on it, pretty sure it only got 23 FPS on the not intensive scenes. also, my dream gaming PC is a PC that can play ANY game, past, present, or future on 60 FPS.
As of right now i have a pretty bad ass laptop, but i would love to have a desktop, but lets say that i like it portable. I would love the MSI GT80 TITAN, but its like.. yeahhhh, just a bit 'portable'. the price is not friendly but the specs are killer. but for a desktop id love to have the ASUS Rampage V Extreme with an Intel Core i7 5960 extreme @ 4.5ghz water cooled. (obviously) 32gb of DDR4 2400Mhz ram 3 way SLI with the GeForce GTX 970 ssd raid 0 with 2 512gb ssd's and an external hdd of 6tb. and having like 3 monitors with 4k resolution. my dream desktop, will cost over 4000, maybe 5000 or more, defenetly with 3 4k monitor.
as of right now, this is my dream pc http://pcpartpicker.com/p/P6HfGX mmmmmmm (and AIO would be temporary, would custom loop it as soon as possible, but would still want some decent overclocking without overheating before then) yes i know it's extremely overkill, and the 5000 series intel cpu's have worse single threaded performance then normal, but i render stuff enough in vegas that for me personally, the lower performance in single threaded applications is worth the extra cores and threads for dat sweet sweet rendering performance
Perhaps a bit off topic but could Beamng run on a 8 or 12 core CPU right now? Whad about twin i7-5960's?
You can't have dual 5960's since they don't support that feature. Only Xeon CPUs do. And yes, Beam can run on an 8 core, lots of people with AMD 8 cores.
Probably because you dont use xeons to play games, but ro render and stuff. its a work cpu, not a gaming cpu.
As 6677 said it's most likely due to the deeper pipeline. Nope. You can fit in two i7 Extreme CPUs, but they won't work since the chip doesn't support dual CPUs.
I set my budget to be $10K... If you can call that a "budget." http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Funky7Monkey/saved/9nrLrH
I updated my build... By downgrading several components. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/bluescreen1985/saved/v6k7YJ Unlike the previous build, this is a PC I would actually buy could I afford it. I didn't use a 5960X or a Titan X because I would never actually buy those parts. Also, super overkill build because I can: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/bluescreen1985/saved/Dzq9TW
I've always been more modest about my builds. My dream gaming PC is in my sig, plus another 7850, a capture card, and another super-multi drive. Now, my dream editing rig, that's a different story...
CPU: The most expensive I7 GPU: The most expensive NVIDIA PSU: The most expensive Seasonic RAM: The most expensive 32 GB kit HDD: Very large solid state LOL, i mean, really, that would be my dream PC.
