Further to the server thread, I decided to keep my trusty Dell Precision 690 and stick an updated graphics card (GTX 960 4Gb) in for the timebeing, I know there'll be a bottleneck with the CPUs but I can probably live with that for now, (I may have option of dual quad core Xeon 3565 later on).
As well as obviously games, I'm busy researching stuff to play with but if anyone can give me any pointers to other tools, things like:
- show GPU information
- benchmarking
- Overclocking (though not that fussed; I'd rather have a stable card than 1fps extra and occasional BSOD)
- fractals (mandelbulber looks quite interesting)
- demos
- HEVC stuff (the 960 has hardware decode apparently)
- ? Anything else I can harness all that GPU power on now winter is approaching, I need a warm office?
TIA
