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

Hey guys don't you think this is a little ridiculous that is about $6000 of hardware.

I bet on crysis 6 He still can put it on ultra settings.
Specs: i7 4770K @4.4Ghz
Graphics: Reference GTX 980
Ram: 16GB
Motherboard: MSI-GD65
Cooler: H100i
Spaghetti: Spaghetti
SSD: 120GB Evo

OS: Arch Linux @i3 wm
Probably for bitcoin mining. Or else I dont see why he would have that much Graphic cards.

Nvidia cards are not good at bitcoin mining. This was probably just to test out 4 way SLI using Titan.

I think most people get AMD cards for bitcoin mining. I believe the 6850 is the most popular, but I'm not sure.
AMD cards= superior for mining. OT: whoever bought all them needs to buy me 1, they must be rich, or just insane.

OpenCL on AMD cards is a lot better for mining bitcoins than on NVIDIA cards (Added because Neobdragon is a picky bitch 😝), whereas CUDA (NVIDIA) is pretty shit for it.

Like the others have said, it's probably just for benching purposes.
NVIDIA cards are better for BitCoin mining. AMD just offers better performance for the price.

False. A 7970 destroys a 680 and they cost close to the same amount.
If I said something stupid, I probably realized it right after I posted it.


propperly 4 gpu's on loan for quick benchmarks and reviews, then there shipped back to nvidia
happends all the time actualy
Human stupidity : Buying something they have no clue about, and then ask if they wasted their money.

GPU bitcoin mining died when someone decided to use ASICs.

As for the quad Titans, I believe those belong to Kingpin who was supposed to break the 3Dmark world record.

Bahahahaha! The GTX 680 is a much more efficient card, and will beat the 7970 under the same specifications. It actually provides nearly the same performance with worse specifications. The 7970 just offers the same relative performance for a smaller price tag... the GTX 680 is the fastest single-GPU card in existence, other than the GTX 780, of course :-)

I am no fanboy. I like AMD, I like NVIDIA. But NVIDIA has more efficient cards that perform better at the same specifications. AMD offers less efficient cards that perform better at the same price.

He was talking about Bitcoin mining. It takes like 3 680's to equal 1 7970.

If these were bought... I say let the man have his fun. He obviously can afford it. I'm envious.

dont be comparing gaming to mining, its totaly different

take a good look at this
