Xeon E3 1230 V2, i7 3770 or i7 3770K?
They're basically the same.
You were only a year late.
Same :D
So is this a good gaming CPU because people are saying that this is used for servers and stuff, but some people are saying this for gaming too. I'm confused.
This is a server CPU.
You can use this for gaming,but you will not get good FPS,and a higher quality game would load this CPU quite a lot.
Dodo123, you're wrong.
So is this a good gaming CPU because people are saying that this is used for servers and stuff, but some people are saying this for gaming too. I know that this can run games pretty good, but how long will I be able to play with atleast medium settings with a reasonable FPS. I'm confused.
no this cpu is a server cpu made for server stuff, like hosting, data,etc
this cpu will not play games as good as the i5 3570k it will get loaded much easier than an i5 so yeah not for gaming if you want a gaming cpu buy a i5 or fx4300
I saw someone building his gaming rig with this. The performance almost same to 3770K (According to GD), what so special about this? Anyone can explain? detail & long article will do.
Go for 3770K because Xeon is not for gaming it is for SERVERS.
This is a 3770 without integrated GPU (HD 4000) and 100mhz lower clock speed. Excellent choice for a gaming CPU.
How can this processor be rated so high?
Server processor. It performs like an i7, but cheaper. It is mainly used for work though, never designed for gaming. It can play games well, but not as well as an i5 or i7.
Iam planning to upgrade my i3-2120 to this processor on october, i'll look on asrock website, my board support without updating the bios.
I will report a review on the performance in gaming later..
it's better to buy an i5 than this cpu, because it will not play games as good as an i5 2500k or i5 3570k this is a server cpu, it gets loaded by games really easy.
this thing is a monster :o3
