Hey guys don't you think this is a little ridiculous that is about $6000 of hardware.
Little ridiculous don't ya think $6000 of hardware (Nvidia GPU) |

This was probably just to test out 4 way SLI using Titan. ![]() Welcome to the COCH section. Where all we do is shitpost. (Feb 22, 2013 11:49 AM)t0ks1ck™ Wrote: Probably for bitcoin mining.

Like the others have said, it's probably just for benching purposes.
propperly 4 gpu's on loan for quick benchmarks and reviews, then there shipped back to nvidia
happends all the time actualy (Feb 22, 2013 01:44 PM)Assume Wrote: False. A 7970 destroys a 680 and they cost close to the same amount.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.

It takes like 3 680's to equal 1 7970. ![]() Welcome to the COCH section. Where all we do is shitpost.

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