Hi everyone :)
 
It's been a while since I did a serious upgrade, but I finally upgraded my main workstation with some serious Kepler GPGPU's, from EVGA of course!
 
The pics I am about to show will tell you my story hehe, the system I am showing used to have the EVGA GeForce GTX 295 Red Editions in it, so this upgrade gave me a phenomenal improvement as overall performance goes, just crazy actually.
 
From Four G200-400-B3 GPGPU's to two GK104-400-A2 GPGPU's or from 960 G200 CUDA Cores to 3072 Kepler CUDA Cores, rofl yeah numbers differ but so does performance, only the performance per CUDA core is much more powerful with the G200's I must add that though, Kepler is more optimized for games that G200 and Fermi ever were, but all in all this upgrade feels very good already rofl!
 
So here the first pic of the system it's self:

 
A Side shot of the system with the two EVGA GeForce GTX 680 SuperClocked Signature Edition 2GB's in it, in 2-Way SLI from the underneath angle

 
Here a closeup of the side panel:

 
Here a shot of the side window and side fan removed; as you can see I used the same brandless hard B SLI bridge, it also makes a neat finish this way:

See how the blue and white light penetrate them Aluminium side strips on them cards, just wonderful
 
Here some pics of the cards shall we!
 
Spino also joined in the photo shoot top view:

Headshot:

 
Here the cards  showing their DSP's HDMI's & DVI's:

 
here I placed them in a stacked mode

 
Here I made some shots with the hard PCB brandless SLI Bridge connected to the cards:

 
here a nice angled shot:

 
and from the rear:

 
I also made a little intro video of the first test run, but I have to upload that video first xD
Once uploaded, I will edit this post and add it here 

Many thanks HeThing!
 
Also many thanks to the EVGA Crew member that gave me my 23rd Blue Ribbon!

Very nice Gold Leader. Love the 680's with the silver stickers.

Thanks mate  yeah they catch the light of my blue and white CCFL's very well, they kinda blend in, I'll make a night photo tonight, to show the effect a little better

Many thanks HeThing!

Also many thanks to the EVGA Crew member that gave me my 23rd Blue Ribbon!

That was me... Even made a post about it but it did not send properly 
 
I said... Looks great! Now go get another 100 +1's (Or something like that)...

Yeah +1 those things look beasty as heck!

I want one. Love those cards.

Damn it that looks good, those 2P motherboards are awesome .

Many thanks everyone!, Yeah they even run Descent hahaha , they do everything! 
 
Metro 2033 is far more enoyable now too, I am waiting on Metro Last Light, Far Cry3 & Crysis 3, just would be interested how these GK104-400-A2's would do in such titles, but hay we'll see and I'd be willing to find out, once they come along.
 
 
I just hope more games will get CUDA support like Just Cause2 did, I kinda liked that, still play that one a lot.
 

Whach

I thought only the FTW's had Vapor Chambers and that the Signatures had the reference heat pipes?  Anyway, nice rig!

 
Yeah my bad, you are right there
But still they remain cool and quiet under any type of workload, marvelous things!

Nice!...stealth...
Like your case too, PC-A7010?

Hay many thanks for that And yeah that's the one alright   I needed it since the Supermicro H8DAE-2 I have made a perfect fit for this case
 
Here more info of the mobo I use:

When a boatload of money will rain down on me  
 
Noes, no 4 CPU from me, It's not useful for me either, you'd need Windows server 2008 or something similar to run it and I do games as well, Win 2K8 and games I don't think that will ever work.
Win7 Pro x64 + SP1 is fine for my needs and it supports 2CPU setups, ideal thus in my case.
 
I dunno what's next, most likely a Dual 12 or 16 Core Opteron setup I guess, but now I don't need any more upgrades in a long time.

Please watch the language in this thread. I have edited out the language not allowed on the forums.

Oh Sorry for that, sometimes I can get a little carried away when having lots of fun after an awesome new purchase

Awwwsome!!  Nice Gold Leader.

Question is.. "will it play crysis?" 

Gold Leader

HeThing

Question is.. "will it play crysis?" 

Peanuts even Crysis 2 will fly on them haha , just never felt like playing them, might do them like 3 weeks before Crysis 3 comes out, to refresh my mind of the storyline

FarCry3 will also be very interesting same for Dragon Age III, which is still in development
Kepler is very interesting, I like it's new techs, that Adaptive V-Sync hasn't done me much yet, I guess not many games support it yet the same for TXAA, or am I missing out on something here?

 
even one of those cars will be suffiencent for most if not any game..
My screen is 1440p using a GTX680Classified.. I have yet to play a game that this card can't handle.. 
I think you'll be fine with those two cards ;)

I didn't know about the issues with older games using the 6xx-cards. Occationally I play older games as well, but I haven't noticed anything yet.. I can't tell if my old 2x GTX295s were running with +1 FPS though. If they did, I do not really care.. this 680 uses much much less power :D
