So its out, it puts out around 13500 per core.

So around 27K @ 350W & £600+ per card. (two clients)

4 x 27K = 108K = 1400W = £2400 :eek:

Mmmm looks good, would be tempted if and when the price dropped to around £525 that and winning the lottery

The same outlay as an SR-2 by the time you factor in the rest of the rig, twice the power consumption and half the PPD. Its a no brainer right there.

Definitely, for £600 you could build a whole sandybridge rig and get more PPD!

No you couldn't, not sandybridge but I get your drift

Definately not worth it from the £ per ppd viewpoint, but surely bragging rights would justify the outlay

......runs into hiding :eek:

Quite right of course i wouldn't do owt that daft, have a healthier respect for money and hardware these days

I remember the pic you posted of masses of gpus spead across a rug, I was both scared and confused.

ToxicTBag · 24 Mar 2011 at 19:28

Am still 2 sandwiches short of a picnic in some respects but last few months have changed things a lot.....not completely ruling out momentary madness on an epic scale from time to time

Your right on that one, would be a dull old world if we were all the same

I'm up your end of the country in a couple of weeks T, don't think I'll be able to get away though, she who belongs in the kitchen won't be too happy me running off to meet internet friends again.

ToxicTBag · 25 Mar 2011 at 07:48

Best keep nearest n dearest happy i agree, not considered getting her involved in it all she might suprise you.
Thinking along that vein might be an idea to try and organize a meet up sometime see how many folders n crunchers etc we can fit in a phone box at the same time...the usual stuff :eek:

Frozennova · 25 Mar 2011 at 08:47

Team DC meet doesn't sound like a bad idea, I've tried to get her involved indoors but she's not bothered. As long as it lets her on bookface and she can play Sims 3 she's happy.

Biffa · 25 Mar 2011 at 09:32

We did a team meet once in London.. was v.scary.

Scary lol sounds good bet it was a day to remember though

Frozennova · 25 Mar 2011 at 10:03

Scary?

Meeting the other members or something that happened. She wasn't too happy to meet going to the motors meet last weekend either, apparently meeting random people off the internet isn't acceptable

dekez · 25 Mar 2011 at 10:14

Scary? Sounds interesting!!

I don't think you can blame her, there is no way my other half would come to meet people of the internet.

Frozennova · 25 Mar 2011 at 11:00

She was reluctant at first but said I could go if I took a friend.

Heck my dad and step-mum met on a chat room and have been together 10 years
