Hi all,
Currently planning a new 4x 1080ti build and was hopping for some advice.
The cheapest 40 lane cpu I can find in the UK is an E5-2603V3 at £215 https://www.scan.co.uk/products/intel-x ... cpu-retail
Couple of questions about this
1 - Will this cpu bottleneck 4 1080tis? I know you don't need a crazy cpu to feed a gpu but 1.6ghz is a little low.
2 - Can you put a xeon into a normal x99 gaming board? This is the cheapest board with 4 double spaced pcie slots I can find: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/gigabyt ... e-m2-(pcie)-4-way-sli-4-way-crossfire-usb-31-type-a
The alternative could be to get a 6850k but this is double the price of the xeon, which whilst a small number in the context of the whole build, I don't want to spend £200 if its not necessary
Thanks in advance
Gary
