Show me one for that price and I'm sold. The cheapest I've seen (and only PCI-e cards I've seen) are the OCZ Z-Drive cards. They use the x8 slot. My 3 slots can run at 16-16-8 which is perfect for SLI/XFire and a SSD.

I'm now completely torn on a graphics card. Radeon HD 5870 for multiple monitor gaming, or a GTX480 for single/dual monitor gaming?
For 3 monitors I'd need a second GTX480...

why not a 5970? also I think i remember reading something about the 5000 series cards not being able to display on 3 monitors without using the display port output (meaning you can't just use HDMI, dvi, and vga). so that could be your problem. I'm hearing mixed things about whether or not an active display port adapter will work with eyefinity. so as much as it would suck, you might have to use the dp output.

My card can't support it. You're right it HAS to use a DP port for the last display.

And no 5970 because I don't have that kind of money. $500 limit; that's the price of a GTX480 (which I want).

I think I'll go GTX480 for single monitor gaming and then have a 5850 for triple monitor gaming.
Sooo overkill.

Thanks. Looks even better with my new UV reactive coolant/tubing.
I got a triple 120mm rad mounted in the back now, too.

I'd estimate somewhere around $2k at this point, possibly a couple hundred more

in 5 years it will come to the point when you've manufactured less than 1000 of that product its out of date.  :fear:

With that kind of thinking we'd never have the systems we have today. On the other hand we are powering through a limited number of resources and at some point it's all going to run out.

wanna blame someone. blame the porn industry and the gaming industry

Gaming yes, but actually better systems are driven largely by competition between companies as well as high-performance computing. Steve Jobs commented that when he was in the computer business he hoped that competitors wouldn't come out with a faster, more powerful system before he did. But in Pixar he always hopes for a newer, faster computer so that he can take advantage of all the processing power.

Gaming largely drives advances in graphics board technology, not much else, really.

True. Anyone interested in an 850w PSU and a W3520? Lmao. $100 and $225 respectively.

So...my reservoir decided to shatter today and dump close to 250mL of coolant over my computer.

I didn't find out till night when I went to swap power supplies.

My hard drive is running slow. I'm worried. I'm on air cooling now... probably gonna sell my LCS stuff and stick with air cooling for good.
