I'd buy if I had the cash :) And the PSU to manage one, would an AX760 even hold it given the rest of my specs?

Nope.

850W Gold is pushing it, 1000W Gold is really the recommendation and then one with genuine 8-pin PCI-E and not 6-pin to 8-pin PCI-E.

Costly upgrade ahead, but given the specs I'm sure it's worth it.

So a graphics card at 1200quid is worth it? I don't think it is. You can buy an entire top end PC for that price. Some people just want it for bragging rights. Those that buy them just give AMD/Nvidia an excuse to price so high as they know people will buy them for the epeen factor.

I'd take one though if I won the lottery :)
 
I do like the R295's but who realistically has that much money to spend on a graphics card

I could, and their's plenty of others. Thing is, I think they're pretty poor value so I won't! Hell, I picked up a pair of nearly-new R290's for £400!! That to me offers MUCH better value than these...

But some people with always want the best, and they'll get this or the Titan Z :cool:

These cards aren't meant for you or me bud ;)

"Infinity Vesuvius" Intel Core i7 4770K @ 4.6GHz Quad GPU Extreme Gaming PC

FS-443-OE_400.jpg


Designed and engineered in a similar vein to the Ultra High End 8Pack systems, the Infinity Systems have been developed with the enthusiast in mind, delivering a taste of the full 8Pack experience at a lighter price point.

Channelling the hardware experience and world class skill of 8Pack, the Infinity Series of Systems were born. Infinity aims to pay homage to 8Pack by combining many of the same standards, processes and components that 8Pack insists on using in his own epic range of systems.

Infinity combines cherry picked processors with the finest components available today with dominating presence, the pure visual of an Infinity system will compel you to desire the performance that lies within. Clean modern lines, packed out with the latest, cutting edge technology, every component chosen for superior performance.

Taking system construction to an art form, our professional in-house technicians meticulously cable manage, position and arrange all internal components with deft skill.

The Infinity Vesuvius system is the pinnacle of 4K gaming technology, armed with the mighty Intel Core i7 4770K Quad Core, Eight Thread Processor overclocked to a minimum of 4.60GHz! Unchained, all four cores operate in unison in speeds never experienced before, bringing the computational experience into warp speed. Cooled by a trio of closed loop liquid coolers, the Vesuvius maintains cool, quiet operation whilst ripping through every task in its path. The memory runs at an extreme 2200MHz throughout all 16GB with a tight, tuned timings, bandwidth is nigh on unlimited.

Storage is handled by both a SSD & HDD, a Samsung 840 Evo Series 250GB is selected a primary drive enabled for record OS boot times and configured for split second application and game load times. The secondary HDD is a Seagate Barracuda 2TB Sata III drive offering ample space for literally everything else. Tertiary drive options are available for those who wish to contain libraries worth of data with their Infinity System.

Decked out with a pair of epic AMD Radeon R9 295X2 8192MB graphics cards configured in Quad Crossfire for four cores of blistering firepower in maximum attack mode. Even 4K display resolutions crumble beneath the might of this graphical powerhouse.

Hooking everything together and providing the fuel for this volcanic power is the Silverstone Strider 1500W "80+ Silver Rated" PSU, relentlessly giving your components the life force required to operate at 110% whilst maintaining world class efficiency. Modular cabling allows for a neat installation, which is beneficial both aesthetically and ideal for optimal airflow.

All of this is installed within the glorious Corsair Obsidian 750D Tower Case, showcasing the sophistication and empowerment unlined by the Infinity Vesuvius.

Genuine question would the cpu not bottleneck two of these cards? Is quadfire better now than before? Driver wise and utilisation wise, I mean?

No CPU currently available is fast enough not to bottleneck two of these cards in crossfire, the performance of the cards is simply that incredible.

However, the extra bandwidth provided by the OC and tuned RAM mean that the bottlenecking is minimal, currently, the only way that we can do better is to give it to 8Pack to stick under LN2.
