hierovision Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Haha well that's good, and nice break down of the cards earlier. I find the best deal for performance right now to still by my card and I'll be sitting the 400s vs 5000s battle out I think Yeah I'll be sitting it out as well, but not by choice lol. 7k for a new (energy star ) trane heating and cooling system has pushed back my build to the middle of next year. In the meantime I'll be getting a new power supply and a second GTX 260. At that point I will probably grab the latest from nvidia... I'd like to start folding again.

I have family visiting and the guest room is the computer room. My armor+ case is NOT quiet lol. My brother (who has slept on gravel before) couldn't fall asleep with it on. I'll definitely get it folding when I have no family staying with me lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdy284 Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 here's a snippit from TH regarding 480's in TRI-SLI: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/gtx-480-r...-sli,10219.html In fact, during load, the triple-CrossFire 5870 setup was running at 641 watts while the GTX 480 setup was consuming a whopping 937 watts--just shy of one kilowatt.
