Post Your Rig!
Re: Post Your Rig!
Alright, I've finally gotten around to posting some pics of my rig. I wanted to wait until I plopped my GTX 280 in there before I did so. And yes, before the ATI faithful descend upon me, I know that the 4870 is a better price/performance purchase, but I'm more concerned with the performance part of it.
I included a close-up of some Dremel work I did on my case window; whomever can identify the character gets a prize!
I'll also take some more pics when I get my second GTX 280 in the not too distant future.

Re: Post Your Rig!
The character would be Darth Vader, sweet looking setup, I just got a GTX-260 and I've gotta say I'm liking it.
Re: Post Your Rig!
Yeah, the GTX series is awesome. I did notice something interesting on the video card's box. XFX had specific recommendations for power supplies listed, and they said for a GTX 280 SLI setup that a minimum of 680W was required. That seems REALLY low for two GTX cards. Most sites I've read about the card on have said an SLI setup would require at least 800 watts to run two GTXs. I wonder if most people are a little TOO cautious with their power supplies.

Re: Post Your Rig!
Yeah, people really are over-cautious when it comes to recommended PSU requirements. It's probably due to how many shoddy PSU's there are out there, if the min required was actually rated at what it should be, people with cheap PSUs at those ratings would think that they would be ok to run it, but in reality they wouldn't (as cheap PSUs wattage ratings aren't worth jack).

Re: Post Your Rig!
Hi everyone! I will finally post here some pictures of my new system, the system that many of the administrators and members of this forums helped me to build and that I could not have built without the help of you.
I would like to THANK all of you who posted a piece of helpful information that proved useful in building my rig.
Here you go:
It's kind of a fuzz with the cables here huh? If I could order the cables better the flow from the outside could come in more efficiently but I did not now where the heck to place the cables.
Here it looks kind of cool ... well at least for me
The big panorama, with my new 24' inch screen for playing games at 1920x1200 res the way it's meant to be played with two G92 8800 GTS's!
I took more pictures but this forum only allowed me to post 3 pictures. Well, you saw it, the system many of you helped me to build.
Thanks again!!

Good point martini! An SLI bridge might help out a bit.

Most definitely, I've downloaded the CUDA files and the GPU client, I just don't know if I need to install the seperate CUDA drivers AND the toolkit AND the SDK stuff before I install the F@H GPU client...

Re: Post Your Rig!
Just need to grab the cuda drivers (don't need the other stuff from nvidia), and install the GPU2 client.
At least that's all I had to do when I did it.
