Evga gtx690

I was looking for the hydro copper versions as well! I couldn't find them anywhere, but I really didn't look that hard

I saw videos of people with them, but I couldn't find an etailer that sold them.
I was told that they had been discontinued because the stock cooler has no problem whatsoever with cooling.

Well, I guess that makes sense, however I still think they should make them available everywhere. Nobody wants to get a really nice over-the-top rig going, and have it all watercooled except the 2000$ worth of GPU power!

Yeah I agree - even if its only so it looks 'cool' (mind the bad pun ).


Australia = Quadro K5000 = $2200 ea compared to $1400 for the GTX690.

KoS - the K5000 is only 4GB card.

Josh - given I may buy four of these Quadros - what are my issues with gaming on four GPU cards?

Many games are simply not coded for such set ups. Big driver issues, screen tearing and then the big one - micro stuttering. Also, scaling up through Crossfire/SLI is never all that great.

Would it actually use SLI.
Would it not just be so one monitor is connected to each card?

and KoS are you syaing buy 4 x 670s?

If you are going to do anything with 4 GPUs make sure they are at LEAST 4gb each. 4 670 (4gb) will be the cheapest and best performing solution for your needs.

You could also check out the 6gb HD7970 by AMD. I would recommend that over all for massive resolutions and multiple displays with that resolution and especially if you are going to use 4 GPUs. The ratio between 4 GPUs and 6gb of Vram is great.

I think the debate here is over - so to speak.

I'm going to go and draw up the use case and other specs and then post back a new topic and get all your opinions on what GPU(s) and GPU configs to buy.
