I often hear Crysis is the benchmark because it pushes limits. My current projects ended up watching a youboob stream about a server. I passed it by due to DDR2 and cost concerns. Discovered something better. The video was intriguing. G4 specs, G5 specs, up to 2, Intel Xeon 5100, 5200, or 5400 DIMM slots: 8 max capacity, 64GB memory, DDR2, PC2-5300, fully buffered, max speed 667 MHz. Who knows what the hardware was actually running? That’s wild, far beyond typical expectations for a server. Comments mention he’s using a nvidia quadro.

On a single Xeon X5450+6GB DDR2 800, I can run Crysis 3 at 60 frames per second using my GTX 970.

Those Xeon X5 models come with impressive features. You can find options priced around $30 to $90, with some reaching up to $150. They also include an PCIe x16 slot for added connectivity.

It varies by motherboard design. LGA775/771 CPUs are standard, but most boards include at least one 1 PCIe x16 slot, with more on Crossfire and SLI models. For gaming, a solid water cooler paired with a motherboard supporting LGA775 to 771 sockets works well, especially with Xeon X5450/E5450/X5470 chipsets. Content creation shines with dual Xeons, and using two X5470s with the BSEL mod lets you run both at 4GHz while easily outperforming newer FX 8350 models.
