990x is retail @ egg
 

A no brainer surely?
Since it's only another 50usd over the 980x?
Haven't seen a lot of testing, but from the results I have seen, seems to clock just aswell if not better than the 980x

Yeah, a no brainer for those with more money than brains. :laughing: That thing cost more than all of my computer components put together.......almost.

Surely hope I win one though. :cool3:

im tapped out

You mean almost all of OCA is without brains for benching 980X, :(:ohcrap::smackbum:

Maybe they just all have wads of cash to blow?

I'm happy for those that can afford stuff like that. :)

Out of the gate... must have LN2

WoW! 1.3v only.:shock: that's awesome.

1.9v

Dont trust CPUZ for voltage readings ;)

Oops I didn't read the bottom. How come it's always fairly accurate for me?

Depends on the revision and how you are adjusting voltage :) And whether a CPU is fully supported or not. He is using an older version of CPUZ I think. (I know they are at least into 1.56.x versions). Plus it just hit the market. might be slightly different than the 980X.

Or maybe he manually adjusted it not in the BIOS, or is using a manual vcore+ offest style those never read correctly I think (I dont run gigabyte so not sure)

Dunno about the timing of this chip being released. Bad move in my opinion.

My guess is they are taking one last ditch effort to milk the x58 platform

with 1155 released and 2011 around the corner I agree,

But there are those who will buy this chip and who knows, it may be the 6 core gold cup chip ..... so those holding 6 core cups using 980x could be looking at loosing a substancial amount of boints to this chip ..........

Looking forward to the next enthusiast platform :D

rickss go get one pelase :D

I have a 6ghz 980x i could sell to get a 990x. But with my luck the 990x wont do 6ghz. Thats the way it goes for me.
Besides i'm waitin to see what the new bot brings before any big benching hardware purchases. I may not spend my time and money on anything except my gamer if i dont like what happens.

ill get one eventually, as it will help in the hw boint grind

Sucks to see guys that have been playing with these for months now and they all drop huge scores today....

it is a viscous cycle :taunt:

+1

Yep, sucks gay intel knob stoppers :doublefinger:

You mean they had ES chips and now that it's released it's ok to submit scores?

Yeap.

I think it's funny how intel wants $1200 for a 6core chip, and 2006 they announced an 80core chip what's the cost of it going to be $5,000 - $10,000...
