I love how you're willing to drop $1300 on video cards when $1300 is basically more than I'm planning on spending on my entire build. Heh

I am the minority here.

Not as fast as folding with 2x1900XTX in Crossfire.

But regardless, congrats!~ and ya I agree with Tepper

Better hope your PSU doesn't burn out. I read each card draws 177 watts at full load so that's over 350watts just for the cards!! And all for what? So you can load Soompi's celeb picture threads just a few milliseconds faster....

yeah for one video card, your gonna need at least a 450w psu and thats for most for the vidcard, i can't imagine how much you need for SLI lol

oh and your gonna need at least a 24inch monitor to take full advantage, although i heard it still runs too fast for 1900x 1200 resolution lol iono but this vidcard use's a lot of power, what a monster xD

how much $$$ did you spend this month lol, isn't the ps3 coming out lol, getting one?

I have a PC Power and Cooling 510watt ASL PSU, and thinkin about picking up a 1000watt PC Power and cooling Unit If i intend to keep my SLI (still debating if i should sell the second card or not)

And I use Dual 30inch screen setup so that is why I have sli.

the SLI setup 1300 + PSU would be 600 + SLI MOBO would be 275, PS3 I'll wait till next year I dont want to pay over a 1000 nor do i want to wait in line for a day and a half

Im not loaded I just have this really bad urge to buy things (Computer Upgrades) on impulse without thinking about bills on my cc

(When paying with the card Its feels like its free)
