Ok I would be very interested in hearing what components would be needed for you to call a PC uber. Cause your rig is fucking decked dude, hard to get much better.

 Meh, that is not uber PC, it can't even run GTA4 with constant 60fps on 1920x1200...  |

Your right it's not an uber pc,but I can run GTA4 with with everything up as high as it will go except the draw distance,and get a constant 60fps at 1920x1080 no worries at all,I can't try 1920x1200 because of monitor limitations,but very similar resolution anyway,I don't think I would have any problems at 1920x1200 if I had the monitor to test it.
Having my cpu running at 4.1Ghz and my gtx 295 cards overclocked at 700Mhz on the cores,GTA4 isn't really hard to get a constant 60fps.

Biggest issue with such a computer setup would be bad scaling and so called micro-stuttering, SLI and Crossfire both scale well with two cards but less so with three cards and there's a very small difference with four cards plus that micro-stutter problem is much greater.
That said if you get such good framerate in a heavy title like GTA IV then I see no issues although I don't think framerate would be that different using a single 295 or even a single GPU 285 card.
Heat would be the second problem but your water cooling setup already takes care of that although I don't know how your cooling the GPU's.
(Space is a bit limited as well as those are big cards so you can't fit much else in the other slots and need a large case for it.)
Nice setup anyhow. :)
(Must have cost a ton of cash as Sabin remarked but that's the downside of PC gaming, always have to update to keep up and current.) |
Yeah it cost a bit I spose,but when I buid a pc I expect to keep it for at least 3 to 4 years before doing any upgrades,so I like to make it a fairly good pc,truthfully microstutter was my main concern before I got the two gtx 295 cards,but I got to be honest I havn't seen any microstutter,maybe I just don't know what to look for,they recon some people don't even notice microstutter even if they have it,I am probably one of those people,which is good.
Yeah your right,quadsli didn't add anything to GTA4,I ran with a single gtx 295 for about two weeks,and that pulled the same fps as it now does with two cards,GTA4 just isn't made to scale with quadsli I don't think,but pretty much most other games I got a huge jump in perfomance when going from one 295 to two 295 cards,games like grid,crysis,crysis warhead,lost planet and heaps of others got a really good jump in fps,I was supprised at how well quadsli scales.
These are benchmarks comparing when I had a single gtx 295 and quadsli 295

Interesting results, my knowledge on quad SLI/Crossire is a bit limited and not many people have such setups but the benchmarks and various comparisons I've checked showed pretty low scaling and framerate gains, it was a while since I checked things however so it's fully possible that newer drivers have improved the situation quite a bit.
(Which is very likely seeing that NVIDIA frequently updates their drivers and often improve performance both for single GPU cards and SLI configurations.)
Can't explain micro-stuttering that well either as it's a bit difficult to describe, it's like small lag spikes and minor pauses but it can be very difficult to notice and is also very dependant on framerate so perhaps the high framerate you get makes it less of a issue.
(Also varies from title to title.)
It's a nice setup though and it'll definitively last for quite a while.
(Large amount of RAM with good speeds and timings, multi-core processor and powerful graphics card - should be able to handle things quite well.)

Yeah I am happy enough with this pc,I would like to go 12gb ram and a few other things,but at some point I have to call it quits heh,I am going to leave it as it is before I go broke.
I don't think the old cards like the 9800gtx2 and the 7800gtx2 series used to scale very well in quadsli at all,but from my experience with the gtx 295,they seem to scale as good as my previous gtx 280 sli did,so far anyway.
Yeah I would actually like to see microstutter in action in a captured video,to know what it looks like,when you read about it on the net it's hard to get an idea of how microstutter would be in real life,thanks for trying to explain it anyway,I might play some games tommrorow and see if I can pick any up.
Yeah with the drivers they have improved over the last couple of sets,my only fear is I hope support for quadsli doesn't get worst down the track when nvidia brings out new cards,quadsli 295 probably won't be on their priority list when it comes to drivers.

now that u got kick ass pc which will become obsolete in couple of years and will cost 2-3 times less all u need to do is to change your nickname to 60fps and get yourself some english lessons

Is that right,great advice there mate,I will deffently take what you said under consideration heh
Very wise bloke we got here,stating the obvious like that,I didn't know pc parts become obsolete in couple of years,thanks for pointing that out,dam,I wish I had of got your advice before hand.
By the way,next time you talk about someones english,it might pay to go back and have another read of your own post mate,heh if it had of gone on any longer I would of ran out of breath.

if you consider the performance gain / price increase, it doesn't make much sense, but whatever. some people buy brand clothes, others buy i7s and quad slis, it's the same thing, just in different circles, usually.
