The Intel Xeon W-3175X Review: 28 Unlocked Cores, $2999
by Ian Cutress on January 30, 2019 9:00 AM ESTGaming: Shadow of War
Next up is Middle-earth: Shadow of War, the sequel to Shadow of Mordor. Developed by Monolith, whose last hit was arguably F.E.A.R., Shadow of Mordor returned them to the spotlight with an innovative NPC rival generation and interaction system called the Nemesis System, along with a storyline based on J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium, and making it work on a highly modified engine that originally powered F.E.A.R. in 2005.
Using the new LithTech Firebird engine, Shadow of War improves on the detail and complexity, and with free add-on high-resolution texture packs, offers itself as a good example of getting the most graphics out of an engine that may not be bleeding edge. Shadow of War also supports HDR (HDR10).

Ian and readers, The ASUS ROG motherboard looks great the Intel 28 cores seem like a beast to, your scores might be way better if you contact ASUS and have them help you because you sound confused on what to set in BIOS and how to run high end system correctly.MikeV8 - Wednesday, February 6, 2019 - link
3175X Intel’s biggest chip ever? Not really. You're missing it's predecessor from 1995 - the legendary Pentium Pro for Socket 8, which is even bigger that the Threadripper. Or maybe you're too young to remember even the Pentium II Xeon which superseded Pentium Pro in 1998.Ah, I miss good old days with Anand Lal Shimpi.

I'm sure someone mentioned this already....Everyone is complaining so much about how expensive this processor is but I have two points to mention.
- It's pretty much the same as Intel's top Xeon the 8180 which is a $10,000 processor.
- AMD's processor is basically a fake, 4 processors in one (and I love AMD).
So now a consumer can buy Intel's best Server processor for $7,000 less.

Well, this is heavy price. Maybe fair, but availability is a madness. But taking in account LC i9--7980XE is the best here. It kills competition with speeds. On LC it can be clocked after precise regulation of voltages up to 4.8GHz and up to 4.7GHz with 128GB of 3200MHz RAM.I'm selling stations like that. Easy to build, easy to run, easy to cool. MBs at stock.
That chip is just a showoff .
