Isn't there a GTX690 now?

Btw, your setup is really nice ^-^

Yes?  But it's like $1K

I got the 670 for $380 new. The GTX 690 is $1,099. I can't afford that, sorry.

It's an overkill card o.o
3000+ CUDA cores and 4GB memory...

[MackTheHunter]

It has 2 GPUs in it. It hold 2 graphics processors on 1 board. It's not overkill, it's long-lasting.

It would be neat if you got a virtusphere and on the outside of it you had screens everywhere,

this way you could control your BL player and walk through your environment you built.

Virtusphere is a giant metal sphere you step into and walk around in it's original use is for virtual reality..
but I think you could do something with it and Blockland

It's pretty much two 680's glued together

This is overkill I feel.

How does that suck?

The 670 is one of the highest end cards right now...

I know, I just have the equivilent of a radeon 6570 in my laptop, so I tend to joke around with people that have better cards than me.

[lcyGamma]

-_- he uses Nvidia, I wanna know which one though

huehuehue

Sorry but it is overkill.

Most gamers don't even need one of the top end GPUs let alone two. People buy them to get insane FPS counts for the bragging rights. It will future proof you for a few years, sure, but so can cheaper cards.

Imo big waste of money for a toy you don't even need unless you are planning to use it for commercial work. Although, since you have two now, you may as well do stuff like this for the sake of it. I think thats the impression most people are getting.

I'm not suggesting you take that computer and put it to industrial use lol, I'm suggesting if he does freelance work or home business, or even hobbyist stuff.

[Filipe]

2 words, holy stuff.

or you know.. playing gpu intensive games on high settings

not a waste

Well, again, two cards is overkill for that.

A single much lesser powered card can achieve that to FPS levels of 40-50 or so for a much better price. Since you are getting into a frame rate you can't even see by that time, its unnecessary for anything beyond self satisfaction.

Two cards? Really no point.

To me its like he is just looking for ways to apply the power. None of it will be very practical.
