Re: What videocard to choose for SVP?
2600k is almost indifferent from the 2500k and non-k regarding games. It is mainly used because it has hyperthreading, something I know is needed for video encoding efficiency. I'm guessing hyperthreading also helps with decoding and SVP-related stuff. But check the only benchmark sheet for SVP, there you can see the scores of each CPU. Just make sure there isn't any GPU present
