Things are pretty good for the most part. 
 
Just sitting here debating on if i should test a 6950X, but would need at least 2 1080's first.
That setup would be good for some bot points and move me back up a bit, while we wait and see if they come with this unlock code.
The cards seem to be alright for air benching and that's all i plan to do at the moment so that would work in my favor im thinking.....
 
 
What's been going on with you these days....

Just waiting to see if Nvidia ever posts their "Enthusiasts Key Website" so I can watch everyone else that has four GTX 1080's ready to go and do some comparisons before I stick my foot into another 4-way setup.
I bought a 6950X (for too much), But returned it after doing some Futuremark scores comparing it with 5960X scores using just 2-way GTX 1080's in SLI.
Looks to me like the 6950X gets great Physx scores, But those running the same setup with a 5960X have higher Graphics and overall scores.

Please pardon the intrusion but I have a silly question for you. If I do put my Monsta 360 into an Ice Chest to chill the water my coolant will essentially be 0°C, right? Will the air blowing out of my 240 rad up top of my case blow cool air into the room making my PC into a makeshift AC unit or am I delusional?


 Why run the fan? That would warm up your coolant quicker.

With enough fan throughput, he could cool his work space and keep the tubes just warm enough to insulate them.

And So.......
 
On One Hand, I'm Glad I didn't buy any GTX 1080's Yet.......
 
On the Other Hand, Even though I could STILL run Benchmarks (Although I bet not very efficiently) in 3/4-way SLI, I Feel Sorry for Those Gamers out there that WON"T be able to use this feature Anymore.......
 

 
 
 
.....Oh, and BTW, Futuremark is down for Changes?.......

It's been going like that for some time for gamers. Most of them barely want to support more than one card let alone 3 or 4 cards. This would make things alot harder on Nvidia and AMD over time because all they would get is complaint after complaint about sil/xfire not scaling blah blah blah. Thus the drop in support. As to why they needed to lock it in the first place.... That really doesn't make sense either....

Way to go John, #8 in the 2X Fire Strike Extreme HOF!

Wish OC.net (or someone) would come up with a Modded Vbios for the 1080 cards.

Thanks!
 
I already have some ideas about the vbios, just waiting on my guy to get through the bios cert errors so i can test them out.

After A Little Game of "Punch that F5 until your Fingers Hurt!" on NowInStock last Friday and Today, I have FINALLY managed to obtain two EVGA GTX 1080 SC's off of Newegg!

 
Now I'll be able to do some testing for at least 2-Way SLI after the second card arrives in a few days, Although I must use the Old Style 400MHz SLI Bridge due to Still No 650MHz SLI HB Bridge in sight!
 
Alas, My ASUS RVE will never look the same........(No 4-Way...Curse**** You Nvidia and the little horse you rode in on!
