Anyone else using an older xeon workstation for a daily rig?

No
Your CPU doesn't even match a 2600K in terms of IPC and per-core performance, it's weak in anything but fully multithreaded tasks that can use all cores.
And your GPU is pretty fucking weak if you're trying to get games through it, it gets smashed by a 750ti in both games and basic OpenGL compute, it's basically the worst of the old quadro series, which weren't very good in the first place. You might be able to accelerate some graphic design programs with it, but you'd have better luck playing games on a 1050ti or something
Is that ram even ECC?

>>58694200
Single socket Xeons are not much different than the normal i7s you find in consumer PCs. It's pretty much the same shit without an IGP.

>>58694271

seems like you read the article but didn't understand it.

Various sites that ran comparisons show the e3-1270 v2 is actually tied with an i7-3770k

Im planning on upgrading the gpu and tossing the quadro,

So really whats wrong with a 3770k 16gb ram fulling running rig for $190?

>>58694310
right which is a hell of an upgrade over my current pc, much cheaper then building a comparable one, and I really dont need a 7600k+1080

>Your CPU doesn't even match a 2600K in terms of IPC and per-core performance, it's weak in anything but fully multithreaded tasks that can use all cores.
Absolutely false assuming you are running at stock speeds, since the 1270v2 is .1 GHz higher for both turbo and stock clocks, and is a generation newer.

Also, read OP's post, he wants to change the GPU to a 1060 or 470.

>>58694271
Are you retarded? That's an ivy bridge Xeon. It's obviously not only going to match a 2600K in terms of IPC and per core performance, but it will also beat it.

>>58694321
No I did look shit up, show me those benchmarks and how they are single-threaded IPC-dependent programs like 99% of games are. You're looking at fully utilized real CPU benchmarks and fucking blender tests, that's not the CPU power that games rely on
Look up more benchmarks because those benchmarks are for people using xeons for what they're meant to be used for, multithreaded monstrosities that don't give have a shit about IPC or speeds

The motherboard have no PCH heatsink, and still use wet electrolytic capacitors, hence you will need to ensure there is sufficient ambient cooling as well.

It even lists single core integer and floating point results

>>58694391
sure.... except userbenchmark takes the average of thousands of real world benchmarks and averages it out

>>58694396
I looked up actual benchmarks though, of course I saw the first three canned benchmark generator links on Google, there's a reason they don't hold any weight, I scrolled past and looked for real benchmarks, and the e3-1270v2 loses to a 2600k several times in non-optimized tasks

>>58694436
This is because people actually OC their 2600K which pulls up the score.

>>58694422
Yeah so does cinebench right? The benchmarks where my 6600k completely smashes a 6700k?

>>58694377
Dude, what the fuck is your mental malfunction. The e3-1270 v2 is a pleb tier Xeon that runs at 3.9GHz single core. That's 0.1GHz higher than 2600K. Last I checked the stock 2600K was more than adequate for gaming in most cases.

It literally has 4 cores and 8 threads. What the fuck do you think it's gonna do in Blender or other highly threaded workloads? Fuck all, that's what. It has garbage threaded performance and good single thread performance just like consumer i7s.

>>58694448
So yeah, like I said it's an unreliable and constantly variable source full of circumstantial data that could be altered by a fucking /g/ denizen at any point in time
There are real benchmarks comparing the 1270-v2 to a 2600k

yeah its a 3770k that's locked. so in terms of IPC its stronger than sandy clock for clock, but barely, as ivy was only a slight increase in IPC, and matches a 3770k clock for clock in all workloads since IT IS essentially a 3770k. its the same ivy bridge core.

>>58694457
So you're saying an e3-1270 v2 should be just as good as a 6700k because it has the same cores, same threads, and similar clocks?
Well he's free to show me wrong, but until he buys it and inevitably regrets it for gaymen, I'll be here saying you shouldn't get a 1270-v2 Xeon for games
And you ESPECIALLY shouldn't be using a quadro 2000 for games

lmao the 1270v2 is truly a 3770k that's locked. not a slow processor at all.

My Intel i7 goes to 3.5GHz, and it's like $20 on eBay
It's basically the same as the new $180 CPU
Not a slow processor at all

>>58694526
Those are also the exact specs of a 6700k
So that must mean a 1270v2 equals a 6700k right?
Which means it must equal a 7700k right?
And only $100?
How can Intel ever recover?

>>58694519
No, I'm not saying that. Even if they were equal clock to clock, which they aren't (the 6700k is 2 generations more modern), the i7 6700k is a 4.2GHz processor. 0.3GHz clock advantage. Stop moving goal posts and straw-manning just to look like less of a retard. Your attempt is not going to succeed, you are a certified retard.

>>58694548
you are a real fucking idiot. both the 1270v2 and 3770k use the same identical ivy bridge core. they are part of the same fucking generation and class and performance between the two are identical. the only difference is that the 1270v2 supports ECC memory while the 3770k does not and the 1270v2 supports vpro, vtd, and trusted execution technology while the 3770k does not. the 3770k also has shitty built in graphics while the 1270v2 does not and has an unlocked multiplier for overclocking while the 1270v2 does not support either. they also retailed at the same fucking price.

Yeah, I have an old E3-1240 V2 I ripped out from an old workstation that they were throwing away from work. It's worked great for me. I don't game much, but I do some video encoding and haven't had the need upgrade at all.

>>58694526
>>58694491
I see 4 benchmarks of the 3770k beating a 1260 v2

>>58694674
I play games with a CPU that has single core performance roughly equal to an i7-860 and it's fine even with that. Not perfect, but you know, it doesn't have to be.

>>58694740
I still have this bookmarked, my old cpu vs the one I got for free, vs the one I was going to buy at the time.

Ima buy it tomorrow anyway, either way its far better then my athlon 750k, I can cannabalize my evga 600b psu from my current rig, and order a gpu essentially paying about 390 whens all said and done.

>>58694491
>>58694526
why would you buy the xeon when they are the same price on ebay? the 3770k can be clocked to 4.5 ezpz

buying older workstations should be viable for music/audio, photo, and video stuff right?

buy a 2500k and upgrade when 8k porn streams start dropping too many frames

>>58695713
sure unless you are rendering high res and are doing work that is time sensitive

>>58694391
that picture made me laugh hard.
