upgraded my gaming PC to BEAST mode - now running (2) ASUS GTX 780 SLI (3d mark 11 benchmark results inside)


Recommended Posts

A few years back, i built this PC. (click here to see that build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/120989-screaming-fast-water-cooled-storm-trooper-gaming-rig-my-latest-build/ ). Today, actually last night, i upgraded it. I took out my beloved 2 ASUS GTX580 Cuii Graphics cards and dropped in 2 ASUS GTX 780's. The 580's still work GREAT but i still was ready for an upgrade. Check out the pics below. Also, if interested in how it runs, with BF3, at ASS OUT, full on ULTRA, with every single setting pegged, and at 5760 x 1080, then watch the video i am including in this post :)

Also, 3Dmark 11 results. Probably the best numbers i have ever done with any PC. This pc is TRULY a beast :D

The original cards:

I still have all original packaging with receipts. I am thinking of selling them. Keep your eye out in the classifieds section soon!

Nice!! Those are some beast cards for sure and im sure it handles the triple wide setup with ease. You'll be set for whenever GTA V finally gets released on PC.

hell ya - im on that!

and this thing handles the 3 screens with very much ease. And nothing is overclocked. The GPU's came with a disc that i can O.C. with but i didn't install it yet. Same for the CPU. It is sitting at 3.4 with the on board "turbo boost" bringing it to 3.8ghz. I can prob take it to 4.4ghz with no prob but i want to keep it stable and reliable. Plus, i don't think my pc is suffering so no need to over do it :D

I just picked up the same model 580 off eBay for 160

good for you. I won't sell mine that cheap. You aren't finding them all day like that. You got lucky. Now buy my 2 and go 3 way sli :) I just seen a few for $200 so i guess i can lower my price to $200 each but only if someone buys both at the same time. Actually those weren't even CUii cards but i will still sell them cuz i want them gone. If not, ill just build another gaming pc. No sweat honestly. It's a beast card still.
