Hey there! Let's talk about your setup and the new board you're considering. You've got an ASUS P9X79 with an i7-4930K and 32GB RAM, and you're thinking about switching to a MSI X470 gamingpro carbon with R71800x. Since you already have 32GB DDR4 RAM, it sounds like you're well-equipped for your current needs—especially with 70% dedicated to VRA rendering and 3D modeling. The gaming portion is lower, but still there.
The main concern here is the software support. If you're using outdated systems, switching might not be worth it unless you're ready to invest in updates or alternatives. But if you're okay with non-native solutions, the new board could offer better performance and future-proofing.
If you're leaning toward staying with your current setup, it’s probably safe. If you’re curious about the switch, let me know—I’m happy to help weigh the pros and cons!
How impressive is this? You don’t have to pay upfront? That sounds great!
Not really part of the US market? Since 200USD might exceed the R7 2700, even counting 4930K plus board value as payment, it still feels like a poor offer.
