Don't forget having a 27.6ghz cpu helps.. 4.6x6

This just reminds me of how rubbish computers get bigged up on a popular auction site :rolleyes:

Pentium D 3GHz dual core!!!!!!

3GHz x2 = 6GHz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frankly the only reason to pay the premium on 4GB cards is if you run very large textures at extremely high resolutions with multiple monitors.

Lets face it on a £6k gaming Pc you are hardly going to be doing much else really.

Would make a great competition

Why is the amount of RAM so conservative, while everything else is stupidly overkill? I'd also expect a dedicated sound card and maybe even a PCI-E SSD card for that price.

NVM: 2 x 840 , not even 840 pro. 2GB 680's rather than 4GB 680's, meh.

Its hardly 'meh' but I get what you mean.

We are impressed, but not entirely won over OcUK.

May I ask how many you have sold? I don't see why not.

MooMoo444 · 22 Jan 2013 at 22:20

6 grand on a PC and only 2 year warranty? D:

I'd buy it though..........

2Gb VRAM in a 6K machine, someone tell me this is a joke.

kitkat9933 · 22 Jan 2013 at 22:41

It actually costs £12,000 because you need to include the £6000 worth of whiskey you would have to drink within a day before you would put down that kind of money on this system, which is a bit meh..

It is built to order, so you could easily ask OC to swap out the 2GB 680's for 4GB ones, swap out the 840's for 840 Pro's, and add additional/faster RAM if you have the money. Personally I would do that and ask to change the tubing and coolant to white, the RAM to something less red, add a blu-ray drive (because why not), and politely request that they do not stick the OcUK badge on the front

It has a blue ray drive

You are both wrong, quite clearly 2GB + 2GB + 2GB + 2GB = 8GB and 8GB will be plenty for even a 10,000,000,000" screen.

Honestly. The size of the screen is what stresses the card not the resolution, big pixels are far more difficult to render because it has to stretch the picture more, and that takes effort, and some graphics cards are lazy.

The four cards are necessary to hold each corner of the picture.

Personally I think that the GTX680 is a joke.

An 8400GS would be far more suited to a system of this caliber.

8400 is more than 12x larger than 680 as a number, so it would find it far easier to hold more than one corner of such a massive picture.

Its just basic computing guys.

This logic is just undeniable

On a more serious note, I agree with what Rusty has said, 2Gb Vram would be a limiting factor when you have the GPU power of 4 680's. The only time you will need that much GPU power is when you are running something like 7680 x 1440, which is likely to exceed the 2Gb frame buffer in a large number of situations. And believe me, the difference in performance is not 1-2 FPS when you run out of Vram, it is the difference between 40 FPS and 2 FPS as it starts using page file which is obviously much much slower. Speed was running only a single 2560 x 1600 monitor, which is not enough to exceed 2Gb Vram limit in many games, so there is not going to be any noticeable difference between a 4Gb and 2Gb card.

Ignore, double post fail.

Probably because there are no slots left on the board free. I would expect a soundcard though.

Amazing, the XFX PSU would have to go though. The carbon is standard in that case? If not it's a nice touch.

What's wrong with the XFX? It is one of the best PSU's out there.

Sorry, got confused by the inconsistency between the written spec and the picture

I've had bad experiences with XFX. I avoid them now. Could be nothing wrong with the PSU, I would still change it.

With the PSU's though? Or other things made by XFX?

The OEM of XFX PSU's is Seasonic, so there should be nothing amiss there.

If I had more money than sense I would get the SR-X Demolisher with a second 690, 64GB of the fastest RAM out there, A pair of 256GB 840 Pro's, a pair of 3TB Caviar Black's and an Essence ST(X) and a tastefully designed and in-keeping custom side window and some LED's

(yes I am fully aware that Xeon's are enterprise processors which are not aimed at gamers, and the 3960X will most likely perform better in games especially when overclocked, but y-know. It would make me feel good inside having 32 threads of CPU power

)
