I know I know, but hey.. I thought this was the SLI club and not the Intel one :P (don't worry, Skylake will replace the FX - thats for certain. probably 6770K)

my next build is going to be intel, unless AMD makes leaps and bounds before DDR4 becomes cheap.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

I'll take a picture of them in my case later, but... I don't have the best looking case setup right now. My next build will be more aesthetically pleasing, hopefully....

even then.. no. Intel is the way to go :D I switched to AMD at the release of the Core2Duo. And til the Phenom2 X6 they were solid. But starting with the FX and Intels sudden rise with the Core i models and improved hyperthreading they became shit. I tried my best to stay on the cheaper side of hardware (although my system can't really be called being cheap :P - sure wasn't) but AMD failed me in every aspect (CPU, GPU, chipsets and drivers - although nvidia is keeping up with the amount crashes atm).

So back to team blue&green it is. Now we wait for the money, which I will probably still invest into new headphones and an O2+ODAC first :D

I plan on february 2016 for something new or at least a platform upgrade containing mobo, RAM and CPU.

If all goes well I might settle on mITX and a Custom Loop :wub:

They're amazing ;) Still going quite strong for a 2GB card. I only game at 1080p so I'll be sticking with them for quite a while.

 

And I got a new cooler :) Noctua NH-U15S. I've started caring less about asthetics and would rather focus on silence and cooling.
