Even worth putting the 3570k into my comp? - Page 3

I'm just tired of you guys pushing others as if they are going to see some kind of glorious second coming after they get Ivy. It's ridiculous.

i would never recommend old tech on a website that has a base of people that are in the pursuit for performance.
and i have no idea why you wouldnt recommend ivy, its like you have a personal grudge with it.

We can all read the charts to say Ivy is better, so lets not keep bringing that up. However, if you are going with an i5 and not an i7, you are most likely going for gaming, and while it may yield a frame or 2 better, no one will notice the difference. We are not comparing a 1366 architecture vs an 1155 architecture, so stating that this switch is the same is also ignorant. Ivy vs Sandy is the same architecture, and the improvements are minimal. I've spent a lot of money on my PC and I also considered going to Ivy, but for no real gains (4.5 vs 4.7 is irrelevant for gaming, no one is going to notice the electrical bill drop between the 2, there are no cards out there that utilize PCI-e 3.0 at this time), upgrading from Sandy to Ivy has absolutely no point. I have had reputable users on this site state Ivy is a waste from Sandy, so lets stop talking like its a worth while jump. With that being said, I am not anti Ivy, I just dont think it is worth a dollar more than Sandy Bridge. If you can get it for the same price as a 2500K, great. I, like the other user here, get tired of people treating it like a user who is not running benchmarks is going to notice ANY difference. Sure, it may take 1 second less to convert a CD to mp3s, who cares. Anyone can look at a graph and say "OMG IS SO MUCH BETTER!" but it actually takes someone who knows what they are doing to analyze that data and realize that its worthless.
OP, If you are buying another chip anyways and Ivy is the same price, I don't blame you for doing it. Just be ready for it to function the same as your current PC does.

Will I get all of ivys new features even if it is in a z68 board? or does it have to be in a z77 board?
and +rep to all who helped
