The reason I don't like this answer is because it is just avoiding the question, there IS one that is faster. I don't know alot of computers, but is x86 FLOPS seem like the comparison unit of measurement.
So with the GTX 560 Ti being a whopping 1263.4 GFLOPS, and the i7-2600 being ~ 50 GFLOPS, the obvious answer to me is the GTX 560.
Note I do not care about ppd, I care about the actual output of what I am getting (as I will be making a computer that maximizes FLOPS/$, compared to PPD/$).
I was thinking of something like this:
Code: Select all
Intel Core i7-2600 = $300
ASUS P8P67 WS REVOLUTIONKingston HyperX Grey Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) (4 PCI Express 2.0) = $260
2 X G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)= $150
4x GeForce GTX 560 Ti = $1040
OCZ ZX Series 1250W Fully-Modular 80PLUS Gold = $240
Western Digital Caviar Blue 250GB = $39
Antec Nine Hundred Black Case: $100
Total: 2129
GFLOPS: 5100
GFLOPS/$: 2.4
$/GFLOP: 0.42
