Just saw a month old article on Tom's comparing the 4960X to the 4770K and saw it beat it in some areas and lost in others. Any thoughts on jumping from an i7-860 to a 4770K instead of waiting for the, as Tom's put it theoretical 4930K? (at the time a 4 core 4820k is know but the 4930 6 core was not). Right now a 4770K is tops on my list for single threaded performance for FSX, but I was willing to sacrifice a small % of "max" performance to go with a 6 core system for things like photo/video editing with various adobe products. (Lightroom 4, and the latest version of Premiere Elements (haven't upgraded that yet), and Photoshop) What do you guys think? Wait for the ~$500 4930K (assuming it will exist) or go with the 4 core 4770K instead?

Well if you need to utilize all the cores then get the 4930K I know Photoshop is dependent somewhat on cores and RAM. If you don't need the cores then get IB-E anyways. I'd get the 4820K for the following reasons:
40 PCI Lanes
Soldered IHS
Quad Channel (Can use dual or triple)
Better Overclocking most likely (due to soldered IHS)
stronger more powerful system
If you need a suggestion on boards here is my list:
X79 Dark
ASrock Extreme6
Asus Rampage IV Formula
that list is in order from first being the best IMO and last being okay. Also the 4930K does exist as some people on this forum have already received there chip.

Do you need the extra PCIe lanes for SLI? If not, I'd probably go with the 4770k. Cheaper board, cheaper chip, and you can put the extra money elsewhere in the system that will have a more balanced impact.

Of you go Quad Core go ahead and get the X79 4820K and a decent.board. the 4820K is $310 and the boards.go as low as $180. Cheaper.than a.Haswell.system.

Any particular reason you are wanting to go with an 1150 or 2011 system? Have you tried overclocking your i7 860 yet?
Personally, I'd go with the X79 6-core solution. Those two extra cores really help in photo/video editing. Also Ivy vs Haswell isn't too much of a difference in single threaded performance. You can always overclock the CPU as well (much easier with a unlocked processor).

Yeah I've tried OC'ing it. It doesn't OC well due to being an early serial ES part. The 860 in general scores pretty low down the list here http://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html and single threaded performance is what I need for MS FSX and also X-plane if I ever switch to it. The other cores are used to a degree, but they're still pretty much single core heavy. A 4770K is like 80%+ faster on that benchmark than the 860 at stock clock. I do have my 860 OC'd a bit, but nothing extreme. I did run it with HT off and a more aggressive OC but only got about 400mhz more out of it and there wasn't a big enough impact to make it worth it.

I didn't know passmark had single threaded benchmarks as well, thanks for that. I'd say go with the six core if you are planning moderate photo/video editing as it will definitely help. You can always make up that 5-10% difference in single threaded performance by a slight overclock. Although I believe the 4930k will be fine in your situation. It will also most likely last you longer upgrade wise.

4930k! Difference in single tr. is not so big at all. Example 1.66pt(3770k) vs 1.56pt(3930k) But with HT that's 12 threads vs 8. And difference in multi treads is much bigger. Example 7.91pt(3770k) vs 10.44pt(3930k) Something similar is and 4770K vs 4930K. Haswell is not so better in single tread as 4930K in multi. 4930K definitely if money is not problem. But I count some option Haswell with some most expensive motherboard is almost, almost same price as Extereme six core variants. Last year confusion was bigger... Not so bad overclocker 3770K PCI Express 3.0 vs 3930k and PCI Express 2.0 official support. No Haswell is better performer but not so good in OC and 4930K full support PCI Express 3.0 Interface.

Thanks guys, sounds like I'm going 4930K then for sure. Just have to figure out which motherboard to go with. I either need one with a PCI slot for my HT Omega Claro Halo soundcard, or I need one with one of the newer built in sound solutions that has a high impedance headphone amp for my headphones. I could probably just resort to a headphone amp, but I also want DD Live encoding so I can get games re-encoded to 5.1 for my receiver over optical instead of having to use multi-channel analog outputs.

If you can see yourself benefiting from the 6 cores, not for gaming, but for other uses the 4930k will be wonderful. My 3930k was a blast when I had it, though for my needs a 6 core wasn't warranted, just wanted. Now that I'm at a quad and doing more handbrake and MCEbuddy converting for my HTPC the core increase would prolly help.
Since you're planning on 2011, what board maker are you looking at?
Honestly I didn't even give EVGA a chance, even with the Dark that's a lot to spend on something with mixed up motherboard history. I'll clearly be an Asus fanboy now after my p9x79 and Rampage IV have worked flawlessly with a 3930k and a 3820. The p9x79 managed to get my 3930k to 4.6 with 1.4v. I also had the 3930k at 4.7 1.44v, and now I have the 3820 @ 5.0 w/ 1.45V on the rampage.
Asus did come out with the new board for Ivy-E just like EVGA, I forget the name but it's black and gold like their haswell lineup.
I will either find a way, or make one. ٩(๏̯͡๏)۶

That's interesting, I also was looking for a X79 board that has one PCI slot and would still allow 2-way sli without blocking the PCI slot. I also have the same card but I use the XT board and use the analog outputs to output 5.1 to my receiver. The board of choice I found for myself was the ASRock Extreme6 LGA2011. It would allow 2-way sli, allow my sound card, and there's already a bios update to support the Ivy-E processors. You might want to look into that one to support your sound card. Most other 2011 boards I found that are good, don't have a PCI slot at all.

Ya, HiViz is dropping all kinds of hints in the rog forums. There is a revised x79 RIVE on the way.

How are Asus regular non ROG series X79 boards? I'm really not wanting to shell out almost $500 for the board too. For like $200 less I could get one with a PCI slot and keep my soundcard with headphone amp and DD Live capability. I'm pretty sure the "realtek 8 channel" audio on the maximus IV probably doesn't have either of those.

I've never had a bad experience with an Asus motherboard. They are reliably high quality.
But I can also tell you the experience with a RIVE is *exceptional*, well worth the extra $. ROG is like EVGA's "Classified" line. Even the non-Classified hardware is reliably high quality, but the extra quality/options you get with Classified/ROG is well worth it.

Here's an interesting review that specifically asks the question "4770k or 4930k?"..... http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...review-17.html "Starting off with the i7-4820K, we were reasonably surprised and pleased to hit a stable frequency of 4.84GHz on all four cores / eight threads....The 4930K provided decent results here as well, though it couldn’t hit the same levels as its little brother. It ended up topping out at 4.65GHz...preliminary information seems to suggest [the] numbers are improved this time around, with the 4930K and 4820K being able to go beyond 4.7GHz 20% and 25% of the time respectively. " Considering they artificially capped vcore at 1.35v for testing purposes, AND that IB-e represents a ~10% performance increase over SB-e, that's effectively a 5ghz+ overclock (in SB-e terms) at well below 1.4v. This should be easily achievable on air, and with more voltage (and watercooling) one can assume it could be clocked at least marginally higher even. Still, I wouldn't take this one review as fact, but it's VERY nice to see some evidence starting to mount that maybe IB-e isn't the giant fail those preliminary web-reviews would have had us believe it was.

Yeah I'm having a tough time deciding. For the main purpose I need (flightsim performance) single thread performance is key. It looks like the 4770K still has it, but the 4930 and 4820 are still really close and in their temp review the Ivy-E parts have much better temps than the 4770. So then I have to figure out, do I take the "$310 gamble" they talk about and hope I get a seriously overclockable 4820 or go for the extra cores for the other stuff I do and pay an extra $250 for the 4930.
I'm thinking "bite the bullet" and go 4930 as I suspect this system will last me for a very long time. My current system is coming up on 3 1/2 years old now that I think about it (built in Spring of 2010) and even if I upgrade whatever I build next within the same timeframe I'm thinking it will still be having better performance at that time than what the current one is doing.

It looks like the 4770K still has it, but the 4930 and 4820 are still really close and in their temp review the Ivy-E parts have much better temps than the 4770. So then I have to figure out, do I take the "$310 gamble" they talk about and hope I get a seriously overclockable 4820 or go for the extra cores for the other stuff I do and pay an extra $250 for the 4930.
I'm thinking "bite the bullet" and go 4930 as I suspect this system will last me for a very long time. My current system is coming up on 3 1/2 years old now that I think about it (built in Spring of 2010) and even if I upgrade whatever I build next within the same timeframe I'm thinking it will still be having better performance at that time than what the current one is doing.
If you're going X79, skip the 4820 and go for the 4930k. It will last you longer too.

If you have a Microcenter or Fry's in your area i'd definitely check into a Z77/i7 3770K set-up since they are trying to move those parts off the shelves and they perform very close to the processors you are currently looking at. I don't have a single issue with ANY game I play with even my i5 3570K. Just upgraded to a i7 3770K though, wanted to catch one brand new at Microcenter before they are all gone... While I was up there I noticed their boards were on a big sale.
