...to dolphin more efficiently.

I've got some rather lazy screencaps of my new system plan drawn up in sketchup.

The controls for fans. Might end up having double that in the final version.

New system specs:
Core i7 980x (I'm hoping for 5ghz....)
Asus P6T7 Supercomputer
4x EVGA GTX 480s
12 Gigs Gskill DDR3 1600
2x Sandforce SSDs in RAID

.... yeah that's all you need to know. Tongue

I shalt call it....

Banks

You would need to rob more than one to get that kind of money Tongue.
Rob 4 580s already...... Tongue
Send me your old SLI mobo Tongue
Ya, get 4 580's if you really have the money to burn.

I can already vouch for 1, lol. There isn't a game that brings it to it's knees. Even crysis hums along nice at 50-60fps at absolute max settings and AA.
Ok maybe Metro 2033, but even then if you scale from very high to high, it plays at 60.

Judging by reviews, only 3-way seems worth it though...
The fourth card will not yield any advantages because current processors are too slow for 4-way sli on the best cards (even 980x overclocked).
