You think we'll see some new ones released soon? I can afford to wait, because I won't get this system up and running until I get a CPU, mobo and good (but expensive...) RAM, so I can leave the card for last, I suppose. Any link to news about these new ones?lycium wrote:I'd strongly suggest you get a 470 instead if you absolutely must have one now... new Fermi-based GeForce cards are right around the corner, they're working madly to fix the manufacturing problems that made the current ones so slow (relative to how it should be) and hot.
Well, developing the same stuff in 2 different "languages" doesn't make to much sense anyway...lycium wrote:it's looking like cuda will be dropped actually!
Nice choice on case and powersupply. They go well together are are really quiet, I'm getting the same ones eventuallyStompinTom wrote:Well. I finally started building a new machine, something I've never ever done before, and to kick things off got an Antec CP-850 PSU and an Antec 183 case. Once the local stores get more GTX480s in stock, I'm dropping a lot of cash for one. Not sure what I'll be doing for a motherboard (suggestions more than welcome!) but I'm pretty set on getting an i7 920 or 930, I think. Might as well invest in the higher end stuff if this is what will feed me for the next while. That stuff will come later, I think. RAM for this thing will be pricey, so building this will take a while and several paychecks. Maybe I'll have it ready in time for GPU Indigo!
The Antec CP-850 DID look like it was going to run me over when I pulled it out of the box. It looks big, bad and very dangerous. If this thing doesn't work out and I can't pay rent, I can always move into the Antec case and live there, there's plenty of room. Maybe even get a roommate.
EDIT: But, relative to the topic, which is why I posted in the first place, the point of this was actually to wonder how an AMD or Intel 6-core monster would fit into that kind of set up? I imagine you need a pretty non-standard motherboard...
