[Case Gallery] AirCooled QUAD SLI

You said your going to give a computer to your nephew right? Can i join your family :D. Also since you've tried a variety of video cards would you say theres any noticable quality difference between ati and nvidia in terms of game appearance?
 
you should 3d05 or 06 @ 2560x1600 because i want to see how it does! i get 6100~ with everyone on highest quality on 3D05 @ 16*12 w/ 4xAA 16xAF. i bet you might be able to beat that even @ 2560!

Thanks for all the kind words, guys. Right now, I have a new build under way so the 7950 GX2s now have another owner. Soon to be completed - x6800, 680i, 8800 GTX SLI, 2 GB DDR2 1000, and about 70 amps of 12V power to support it all. This time around, I will do some tec boosted water cooling. :)

As for 1600 x 1200, 4x AA, 16x AF, HQ, 3Dmark06 was actually a tick over 9000 in quad mode. With a single 7950 the system score 9800 at default 06 run (card clocks at 680/1600).

As for the nephews, I get them each a PC every couple of years. Their PC's move down to their parents who need nothing more than a web browser.

Are you rich?
 
Not rich, just older. University was 15 year ago, for me. No student loans, no car payments, no debt other than a mortgage means I have a little extra left over to buy some toys. ;)

As for the video cards, the gap between ATI and NVIDIA has narrowed with each subsequent evolution of the respective cards. This time around, angle independent AF is on the plate for NVIDIA (read no shimmering). Add to that AA + HDR, and the offerings from each vendor become more alike than different. Personally, I stick with NVIDIA since I can edit the BIOS. ATI has the voltage adjustments via the BIOS, but I understand that will go away with the advent of the R600. Bottom line, there is no wrong choice, just a different one.
