Another Bitchslapping Gaming PC Build - SMD Style. (VIDEO PAGE 13)

[beaker]

HAHAHAHA Why do you think I stopped posting so much?

any time you guys ask me why i dont have a build log id like to refer to this thread. holy shit.

You didn't put it like that at first, and my feelings are uninjured. Keep up the great work man.

Also, i got this....i don't need 20 people telling me what to get, or what i should get. I know what i am doing, even if you do too. Thanks!

i thought i was being nice. I didn't say "you don't know what you are talking about, leave me alone". I am saying, "even if you are good, i still got this!"

I build a gaming PC about once a year and as most know, if you don't stay on top of things, technology will pass you by. Hence the reason i didn't know i couldn't do 3 of THESE cards in SLI. I have more experience with SLI configured machines then 95% of the people here but i still get rusty. If i need the advice, i will ask for it though.

oh, and im not mad at you, i just can't believe when i am being nice, someone still finds a way to call me arrogant. Its all good bro

Ehhhh, I kinda have a problem with this.

You've been able to quad sli since the 9800 gtx, (that's when I got into BUILDING computers, could go further back, but I don't care) which was at least in 2007.

There's only like 5-6 people on this site that actually know computer hardware, maxim, and beaker to name a few.

The problem I have is that you said you don't need help, you know what your doing, and try and jam 6 gpus into a computer.

That's like trying to fit a 8" sub into a 18" hole. Not even close. Sure you can screw it down, but it's potential will be greatly impacted (PhysX configuration)

I usually don't comment or post on anything computer related because it's frustrating to help people that refuse help, or "know what they're doing".

Im not trying to argue, I'm just voicing my opinion. I'm slightly frustrated.

Quad Msi twin frozr III 680s woulda worked better IMO as well. Put those stock 690s in the dirt easily.

like i said, its been a year since i built a gaming machine and i didn't realize the 690 was 2 boards in one, already SLI mode.

fuck the 680, thats YESTERDAYS card. I don't put YESTERDAYS shit in Chickens computer. And no, i don't need the help. If i wanted to "jam" a 3rd card in there, i can. It doesn't have to be SLI.

and yes, i do know what i am doing. The comp i am typing on right now would probably eat your's and shit it out like diarrhea and its a year old. If i want your help, or anyone elses, i will put in the topic "please help". If you don't see that, then save it.

and please bro, do not brag about "building computers since 2007". I have been building them for over 15 years. And also, don't be "frustrated", this isn't your problem to be frustrated over.

also, the one person who stepped in, i thanked him. That is rare of me. So save your frustration for something more important like world hunger or the homeless.

just ordered the cards and i would like to say:

FUCK newegg. "Limit one per customer" can kiss my ass. You mean to tell me you can't take my $2200? Its not like i am buying them at a cheap price and reselling them on the BLVD for a profit. I can understand if i wanted 5 but 2 is reasonable since people SLI these cards all the time. The guy who answered the phone when i called and asked about that can tell his boss that he just lost some serious $$$ over a lame policy.

FUCK tigerdirect. Sat on hold for 20 minutes to make sure they had them in stock since i am about to pull the trigger on $2200 worth of shit and need to make sure i don't get a call later saying "we only have one". They answer finally after some god aweful music on hold and i tell the guy what the situation is. He says "hold on, let me get you to customer service rep"....uhhhhhhgggggggg. So while i am on hold, agian for 15 minutes, i am surfing for another site. I find what i am looking for and hang up on those idiots.

Amazon FTW that shit will be here TOMORROW and for $100 cheaper WITH overnight shipping.

Sucks because i used to like newegg.

Lol.

Probably, since I'm on an iPad mini.

680 is yesterday's card... Lol.

What's your current gpu and CPU configuration though? Just curious. I assume you don't know my two builds that I've talked openly about.

yes, the 680 is yesterdays card. The 690 is no spring chicken either since its been out for months but at least its the latest.

and this isn't about "my computer" so no need to thread jack me anymore. Its over a year old so of course its outdated too but it more then holds its own. Here is a link. http://www.stevemead...y-latest-build/

That is crazy that newegg would only sell one at a time! When amazon is selling more than one GTX 690s at a time. Any ideas on the case you going be putting the beast of a machine in?

[8ight]

Can't see why a business would limit something to one per customer, especially top end high-margin stuff. Take my damned money!

Only thing I don't like about the 690s is that you have 2gb of useable VRAM, since they are SLI-on-a-stick the 4gb total memory is 2gb and 2gb MIRRORED 24/7. Then you drop the other card in there and SLI them and you have 4gb (2gb useable) mirrored once again onto the other card. This leaves you with 2gb useable VRAM and 6,144 stream processors which is quite the imbalance.

Probably something like, "equal opportunity for everyone" or something dumb.

I think their reasoning is to maintain stock longer and satisfy more customers overall, but if they are all sold I don't think it should matter to who.

not sure. Fry's has some nice ones in stock but there is better ones online. The problem with online is, i can't see it in person and decide if i like it. When it comes to PC's, to me they are like clothing. I need to see it and try it on before i buy it. They all look good online (the ones i like) but in person will it be good......anyway, i will prob go to fry's and get a nice thermaltake or coolermaster.
