Little ridiculous don't ya think $6000 of hardware (Nvidia GPU)

And this thread becomes a debate over what cards a better for bit coin mining!

Let's not get too crazy now. Maybe 30fps by the time Crysis 6 is released (if it is released).

That's a waste of money imo.
What I want to know is why they are using 4 Titans, and have what appears to be a very shit cooler on the CPU.
Unless that's some form of superior Peltier Cooling.

Like the others have said, it's probably just for benching purposes.

Cool. Except you can use OpenCL on an NVIDIA card, you should add that so people don't get confused and think that it's simply because CUDA is poorly coded.

What is bitcon mining? Because this thread has seem to become another thread about it.
Bench-fucking-marks please.

It was on Facebook (Asus Republic of Gamers) I think that is what it's called at least.

I'm glad they added an option to go over the voltage limit set by Nvidia with GPU Boost 2.0

5870 and 7970, actually.
The 6000 series didn't have good power:performance ratio.
Bah. I'll think of something later.

You guys are basically saying Nvidia is better but ATI/AMD or whatever is better for Bitcon mining.

They design their cards with different design philosophies. AMD goes for more cores/parallel processing while Nvidia goes for stronger cores/streamlining.

This asshole just happens to have two more sitting there for no reason at all, this is why they're out of stock on most sites, i mean is he gonna use them as door stoppers or something, people are starving in 3rd world countries and this guy needs to have six titans, he should at least sell them to the homeless so they can have something to throw at people when everyone kicks them, this guy just hogs all the damn titans.
the nerve

Need code? PM me.
