4 x 480's and he's complaining about not getting his 240GTZX physx card to work

worth a read, mental amount of money spend on that rig

 

[dazzerd]

Seen better at competitor :O

 

[dazz25]

I can't see how that cost $14k!

THIS!

 

[subbytna]

I'm just saying what he's said he has spent on it...doesn't look like 14k either but I guess it's in dollars which is about 9-10k GBP

 

[EdGey]

14k and it looks like that.

Hah.

 

[Rroff]

14K and hes only using a 240 for physx

No to mention he'd get far far smoother performance in the few titles that do physx using 3x 480 for rendering and 1x for PhysX.

for $14,000 it should drive itself + monitor, etc. around your house to get to you

"Always wanted the best of the best" - yeah for about a few months until something else comes out, lol?

 

[Rroff]

Yeah just not worth throwing silly money at a PC any more. I always buy one behind the top end components too as you usually get 85-90% of the performance for half the money.

 

[glenimp617]

does it even have raid?

 

[JonJ678]

Four gtx480s and no watercooling? Weird choice there

How can you not see that? The spec is crazy... dual hex-core Xeons, [FONT=verdana,geneva]EVGA SR-2, [/FONT]12GB top-end RAM, SSD, dual 1200w PSU, 4x GTX480... I imagine it all racks up to a cool 10k+ with everything included.

14K may account for all the upgrades he had to make. He should buy a desk first and refurnish his house, looks like he lives at his parent's.

 

[Liampope]

LOL at his prize What's he gonna do with that OCZ 850W PSU?

 

[TruffleShuffle]

Why such small Hard drives ?

 

[BuToNz]

should have spent some of that money on a computer desk and chair...

 

[Liampope]

Well, really nothing...unless I can't get the GT240 to work for dedicated physX. I am having problems right now running it for dedicated physX with the other (4) GTX480s. There is something that is wrong and I am currently working on a solution.

Isn't his problem rather obvious? With 4 480s there's nowhere to plug the 240 in, duuur

Or do I fail to understand and now get mocked?

That also raised a chuckle from me too.
