Anything for my old EVGA friends here tho


My next GPU I am hoping for an EVGA RTX 3080 the top GA104 die for that part, BarsWF CUDA x64 also needs to continue too xD
And Ampere, yea that will be very interesting I am thinking

I just hope they will become more affordable, because the prices they go for now.. ugh I just can't afford anything for that part, just shocking.
Also I look forward what EVGA's 2020 systems are going to be like and a new GX2 I will never say no to that hah, Quad SLI anyone, ah the memories 3dfx Quad SLI with the Voodoo5 6000 AGP 128MB Rev.A 3700 and Quad SLI with two EVGA GTX 295 Red Editions, great times.
This was still my best AMD /NVIDIA SLI system I ever did tho
For the memory of 2009/2010:
Blue Leader SMP 20092x AMD OpteronDP 2430 Do Instanbul's, 12 cores @ 2.6Ghz
4x 4GB PC2-6400 ECC Reg Kingston @ 16GB NUMA Dual Channel DDR2-800 Mhz
Supermicro H8DAE-2 NVIDIA 3600 Professional + MCP Pro 55, NF200, & IO55 Chipsets
2x EVGA GeForce GTX 295 Red Edition PCI-E 1792MB 896Bit GDDR3's in QUAD SLI 4x GT200-400-B3's
Realtek ALC 883 7.1 HD onboard Sound
Intel 120GB SSD
4x Western Digital 500GB Raid Edition 3 /24/7 series HDD"s in RAID 0
Lian Li PC-A7010 Black + W75x Window Kit
Antec Quattro 1000Watt EPS 12V + 24V
HP ZR24w 24" HS-IPS Panel Native reso of 1920x1200x32 @ 60hz
Compaq/HP Ku-133 USB 2.0 keyboard
Razer Diamondback 3G 1800 dpi mouse
Windows Vista Business x64 + SP2 & Windows 7 Pro + SP1 Upgrade pack
197.45 WHQL as driver for the Quad SLI Setup, other drivers I used were these:
And here the system :)

These four were the best for all GX2 Quad SLI setups as well as 3 & 4-way single GPU setups.
I have all four in my archive, so if you can't find them via NVIDIA let me know and I can always pass them on to here.
To be honest during the GX2 days NVIDIA cards were far more enjoyable for me, the hardware was also affordable and you got much more for your money too.
hereby I am hoping that NVIDIA will change back to those days that their hardware is affordable for all kinds of people, and GX2's hell yea for those. Quad SLI was very enjoyable.
As for the GTX 295 RE's the system suffered a short circuit, only the slave card died the rest of the system is still functioning with great stability.
I sold the cards to a friend and he was able to fix the other card with a BGA reflow machine, I'll miss those days tho, some times are hard to replace.
As for that system it's still in use, it has a Sapphire Nitro+ OC AMD Radeon R9 Fury PCI-E 4GB 4096Bit HBM in it at the moment, it's a good card actually.
With that I also maxed the ram up to 8x 4GB PC2-6400 ECC Reg Kingston Server Ram good for 32GB NUMA Dual Channel DDR2-800Mhz Server ram
This system is about 11 years old now and it's still performing very well, so I will see how long it will keep up with the latest games since games love using SMP a lot more today than in the past, games that use Vulkan API and Unity Engine for example love system with multiple CPU's & cores so I am interested how it will do in future games and apps or how a RTX 2080 Super would do in there just to experiment with and use for bars WF CUDA x64 see how PCI-E 1.1 x16 does with such a new gen GPU and in my other systems I have PCI0E 2.0 x16 see if that differs much and I still think it won't differ much even if compared to PCI-E 3.0 & 4.0 x16 when it comes to GPGPU workloads.
That too is what I will research here, other than testing games and simulations :) The results will be handy for those that still use old systems and want to get more out of them.
So I hope to see lots of cool builds in the MR list of 2020. But I will ask my friend how that went with that defective GTX 295 RE, still kind of curious if he actually managed or not
