    2015 Upgrade

    I think that'll work for now. O_O;

    2015 Upgrade

    I think it's around $93 for the case. Their case selection was limited, but I'm not buying it to look pretty, just to be functional and give me the power when I need it. Some processes take upwards of ten hours right now and I hope to decrease that by a lot!

    2015 Upgrade

    Ended up saving up and going an entirely different route. It'll be a few weeks but I used a group that builds Workstations that don't charge an arm and a leg (compared to bigger name brands.) Specs follow: Motherboard: SuperMicro X10DAI Processors: Dual Intel® Xeon™ E5-2680 v3...

    2015 Upgrade

    From what I've been reviewing of the Xeon Processor, it's kind of a monster. It is only barely outpaced by the i7 chip on single threaded performance. The programs I'm interested in are Maya and CRYENGINE 3 Dev Kit.

    2015 Upgrade

    The choice for 64 GB of ram was due to the personal programming I'm doing. LL(*) with path prediction, I plan on expanding situations where there are lexical ambiguities by unifying their identities and predicting beyond that point to isolate the actual parse path. The program that would result...

    2015 Upgrade

    Hello, I originally built a system in late 2010 and after five years it's starting to show its age. I'm a (remote) Junior Programmer where I work and I do a lot of (personal) research based programming. My current system has about 12GB of ram and lately just doing my job has started to...

    Tax Refund means upgrade: 3-way on GTX 580 or 570

    The things I like about EVGA are the community, support, step-up program, and most importantly: products. I'm pretty sure that they're up to the challenge of developing the product, from what I understand they are made of enthusiasts and create products for enthusiasts. Take the motherboard...

    Tax Refund means upgrade: 3-way on GTX 580 or 570

    Right, if EVGA decides to make a 3GB FTW edition, I might just consider it.

    Tax Refund means upgrade: 3-way on GTX 580 or 570

    Ouch, that sucks. So from the looks of it, the next generation is likely the time for [extra-]wide format display gaming. Since as it is right now, it just seems impractical.

    Tax Refund means upgrade: 3-way on GTX 580 or 570

    Well the issue with the current hardware is the video memory. Since a GTX 590 is a set of GPUs internally SLI'ed together through the PCB itself, the 3GB of memory on a GTX 590 isn't shared, from my understanding, the two each have 1.5 GB a piece, which doesn't solve the issue of discrete Video...

    Tax Refund means upgrade: 3-way on GTX 580 or 570

    Well, from the reviews the SLI nets 2x gains in some games, I think a lot of it has to do with the utilization of SLI in the game, the actual CPU requirements of the game itself, and the multi-threaded nature of the game. Even these days with current games, they don't seem to utilize the full...

    Tax Refund means upgrade: 3-way on GTX 580 or 570

    Well, the IRS decided to keep an extra $700 due to a miscommunication. I've purchased, for now, a HP ZR30w 30" display and another GTX 480 SC (I have one right now.) Reason for the change: three 30" displays running 2560x1600 even using 3xPalit's 3GB GTX580 model cards appear to lack...

    Tax Refund means upgrade: 3-way on GTX 580 or 570

    Well, I was thinking about a multiple display setup, the budget I've got for myself for this is ~2630 dollars, so it's probably going to be more than just one display. Edit: So likely 5760x1080.

    Tax Refund means upgrade: 3-way on GTX 580 or 570

    My issue with the 480 is the heat output and power requirements. Even given that the 580 has more horsepower it puts out less heat and uses less power. This fact alone makes me think it would be more appropriate to replace the GPU that's in there now with an alternative if I were to use an SLI...

    Tax Refund means upgrade: 3-way on GTX 580 or 570

    Well, I built the system in my signature back in May of 2010, and I decided that since my original goal was a bit more horsepower for the video side of things, I'd wait until I could afford to upgrade it all the way before I finished it off. Right now I'm using an nVidia GTX 480 Super...
