Not sure if trolling or just went full retard...

If he finds out how to put two GTX 980's in a single card solution, there you go, GTX 990 (technically...)

I bet you don't remember that the GTX 690 was basically 2 GTX 680s in 1?

Titan Z = 2 Titan's (I Think)

Yeah I know but Nvidia actually did produce the card. The way you said ''If he finds out how to put two GTX 980's in a single card solution'' That is not really plausible right now.

 

And he probably isn't in a Nvidia engineering team

Customer walks into the IT shop I worked at. She looks around (Computers and gadgets everywhere) . She walks to the counter and asks me if we sell clothes.

I'd be literally thinking, is this person for real? No one can be that dumb...

Must have had a pretty good laugh afterwards lol.

It's actually two Titan Black's with some stuff disabled.

It's actually two Titan Black's with some stuff disabled.

Yeah, it was in the Off Topics. It was a good read though, especially got a good laugh at it while on my lunchbreak the other day at work.

No big deal though. Like I said, it was a funny read.

so this one time I was hanging out with my friend who is the manager at a tech shop by where I live and a girl comes in and buys a 2tb hard drive. we let her know that we install hard drives for $1 (the cost of the sata cable we use) and she says "just because I am a woman does not mean I cant work on computers" and leaves in a huff.

two days later she comes back in saying that the HDD is not working so we take the computer in to look at it,

we open it and the HDD is nowhere to be seen,

so we ask her where it is. and it turns out that she scanned it and put the scanned image on her desktop to install the drive.

and to top that off she threw away the drive she paid almost $200 for and she wanted us to give her a new one.

I know this is an old post but I'm just seeing it. How in the hell can you be this stupid and still put your pants on straight?

AMD AS A THIRD WORLD COMPANY?! UPGRADING YOUR PC COUNTS AS L33T HAX0R?! SWITCHING ISPS WILL GET RID OF A FILTER?! CHANGING YOUR APPEARANCE MAKES YOU A HACKER?! YOU MISSPELLED LINUX?! 

I can't tell if this guy is trolling, UTTERLY stupid, or just ignorant.

[Ceatra]

YOU MISSPELLED LINUX?!

EDIT: But I do totaly agree with you... Wait... this means girls are hacker, right? They like to dress in very color full clothes.... OH SHIT!!!!!

None of the above, it was meant as humour.

Not as bad as some of the things above, but my Dad is convinced I know everything about the TV because I built my own PC, even when I haven't used the TV in a few months.

ALTHOUGH....

 

Maybe if they make a mini-itx 980, you could ghetto mod 2 of them to be in the same card even with separate PCBs and make a custom flexible SLI bridge to connect them, then use a pcie riser to connect the second card to the mainboard...

That would be interesting to see, impractical, but interesting Asus and Gigabyte already have a ITX 970 maybe that ?

Could definitely be a start!
