in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Hey guys i need your technical opinions, so here it is what do yall think about xeon x5675 Cpu so you can buy tow of these for 50$ and get Z600 motherboard to run them on 

so tow overclocked xeon x5675 to 4.5ghz and you  you'd have 12 cores and 24 threads, i been thinking on making this setup with my GTX 980 ti so am i gonna get compabilty issues or

this is not a good setup for DAZ3D.

    For what, rendering?

    a little bit but more for the viewport smothness.

    Daz only uses one core (two logical processors)... out of my 18-core/36-logical in my CPU... The GUI will not run any smoother, it is dependant on how bogged-down daz is, internally, and the ability of your GPU to render OpenGL and Sprites. (With the exception of the IRAY preview, which is just a video-stream from teh IRAY rendering program. Which is also subject to how bogged-down Daz is, by itself.)

    EG, When I have a heavy loaded scene, Daz's GUI becomes horribly unresponsive. While daz, itself, is literally "doing nothing", running at 1% CPU power.

    You will get a little boost to your renders though, possibly... (That is a dice roll. Some render a tiny bit faster with CPU rendering, some render slower. In my case, the only thing that renders faster is "strand based hair", because the IRAY drivers that render it, are severely stalled for anything other than the RTX drivers. Literally, my CPU renders strand based hair, faster than all four of my IRAY cards put together. Two Titan-V's and two Titan-Xp (melenium edition) cards. Which is completely illogical. One CPU, with only 36 logical processors should NEVER be able to beat out nearly 20,000+ cuda cores and 1200+ tensor cores, at drawing "lines".)

    Westmere chips are freaking ancient. You might get 4.1 or 4.2 out of two of them, if you can find a dual socket MoBo that has bios that allows OC or get a modded bios that will let you, but that would be like getting a more modern chip running at 3.5 or so. IPC increases have been significant in the last 8 years. So it would be a lot of effort to get a pair of CPU's running like a very badly clocked modern chip. You'd likely get better performance out of a single R5 3600.

    For modelling applications (like Maya, but also true of Daz) what counts is single core performance.  The current king of the hill for that kind of thing for consumer desktop is the 9900K.
