Haswell News

Thanks. I'd read something similar to that too but it's all a bit unknown at the moment.

 

I told myself I wouldn't upgrade until gtx880 but we'll see. It's such an unknown but I'm almost tempted to sell my 680 now just to maximise the return I can get on it but not sure because I don't know what availability of gtx 780 will be like at release here in Australia.

the GTX780 will be around a 30% improvement over the GTX680.

 

Anthony,

 

Oh oh! Sounds to me like you will have a tough time not scratching that itch!

 

Kind regards,

Your telling me! Haha

 

One hurdle at a time though. Lol

 

In the meantime looking forward to Haswell and any other release news leading into Computex.

I still don't think going from an i7 2600k to a Haswell is a worthwhile upgrade, I'll be skipping another generation.

You may be right. It may not be a huge leap but its going to be quicker none the less. I like to have 2 PC's in the house, so rather than buying a Z77 motherboard now for my second build I think it makes more sense to just wait the month or 2 to buy Haswell. It will only be a difference of $100 AUD give or take so makes sense to me. Plus I like shiny new things.

 

If I wasn't in the process of buying/building I'm not sure id bother going Haswell either.

Here is a link to an article about overclocking Haswell.  The informtion in the article was released by Intel at IDF 2013 Beijing.

This is looking pretty good so far!

The possibility of going from a 4.5 Ghz overclock on my 3770K to something north of 5 Ghz and a 5-10% IPC improvement to boot definitely has my attention. I'll wait and see for now.
