Its easy to throw money at something.

Its harder to make the most of what you have ;)

EDIT>> My score is ok, and I also game on that 24/7. No crashes, its in a case, **** this LN2. Its a great gaming rig. I guess its horses for courses, but for me a really fast rig is meant to be used. Not just for a one off bench for the eeeepeen thing, leave that to XtremeSystems.com, which I used to be a ranked member of back in the day :)

I think I'm getting old and grumpy lol (I'm 40 BTW)

My PSU is at its limit. Can't go any further than this without buying a new one. Cards seem willing. Plenty left on the memory, it seems.

I can't be sure but i doubt Greg was at the limits judging by Scotty's score. Matt's still limited by his psu i think, so would be a pretty close run thing with both at there limits.

When are we gonna see your watercooled 290x's in action.

Edit: The 290p is definitely a bargain though comparing it to the likes of Titan's. Good scores matt and i bet that psu is screaming it's head of lol.

They will be in action on air in the next few days running 4 way CF and a couple of weeks after that I will fit the waterblocks.

My 290Xs will go even higher on water, they were not flat out on air.:D

If mine were under water id be scoring higher for sure. With +100mv i can do 1230/1625. Not tried pushing any further but with more voltage the cards will do it. The memory i think will go further but as you know we can't select higher than 1625.

Sounds like you got a couple of good cards on your hands.

You should really look at watercooling, I think you will have a lot of fun with it.

As to the memory with GPU Tweak you can select higher than 1625 but iirc you may start getting problems with lower performance due to error correction.
