Overkill? Never!

So I found a good deal on a 480 so I decided to buy one and play with it as a Physx card until I get my 5870s sold. I went from a Trifire 5870 setup to this:

Can't wait till finals are over so I actually have time to put this thing in.

How many 480s did you get? Image hosting sites are blocked at my work, unfortunately.

Oh just 1 but I'm going to try running it as a Physx card with my Crossfire 5870s on a E759 Classified

You could sell off two of your three 5870s, use the 480 as your primary, and a 5870 as a secondary on the upcoming Fuzion motherboard. That would be sweet.

You know it starts to get sad when your PhysX card consumes more power than your primary and almost as much power as both cards when gaming.

lol you must have a pretty high power bill if you're constantly gaming on that setup

A GTX 480 for PhysX?

Realy?

A GTS 250 maxes PhysX, a GT 220 does OK with it.

Not to mention the massive amount of A/C to cool the room. That thing must really heat up the place on hot days!

Looks Sweet!!!

If you've got enough money to toy with a GTX 480, you should just tri-sli your 480 and sell those 5870's. The scaling will get better, over time.
