No battle.
That's a hands down win.
3 way potentially 4way xfire on a socket 2011.
Even I wouldn't spend that kinda cash xD

There used to be truth to the whole to keeping it on all the time actually extends the lifespan of the HDD, and PSU, buts that's no longer the case. The only way to damage your computer from turning it on and off is if you keep doing it back and forth over and over.

I don't notice any difference to be honest as long as you shut the monitor off.
I'm not saying that's what you should do, I'm just saying what I've noticed.

only time it makes any difference to leave your PC on 24/7 is if it's being used as a server or some other major component of a network.
or if you'rte bazaaring in FFXI :D
otherwise just put it into hibernation or turn it off if you don't want to pay for electricity that you aren't actually using

i7-960
12gb mushkin ram
x58 sabertooth
gtx 590
More than capable of my needs xD
Edit: Oh and my 80gb ssd boot and 1tb slave drive
only 80 cause the prices on them were stupid high back then

I keep wanting to upgrade my CPU even though I don't have to :| 2500k -> 3930X would be such an inefficient expenditure. also have increasing temptation to grab a titan or two, but gl with that within the next half a year, waiting lists are already supposedly long
honestly don't really see CPU upgrades being worth it for a while yet. generational leaps in CPU power have been pretty small and intel really doesn't have enough competition to bother with anything extravagant. sad ):

Just want to state that Titan is not suitable with gaming, it's main purpose for the GPGPU compute. Wait for the Geforce line of GK110, as these are Nvidia Telsa C2075 cards that didn't meet the specification requirements, with heat & power draw.
So unless you're building a dedicated folding system, a CUDA or OpenCL programmer that needs that fully unlocked double precision floating point performance, who happens to also play video games, don't waste your money.

IDK according to Linus' review...the Titan is pretty monster on games... I didn't say it wasn't, but it's not really worth the money unless you're a collector or the things I described.
Wait for the Geforce versions, without the GPGPU optimazations, and probably lower video memory for about the same performance.

Well yeah I wouldn't want them for raw performance as much as epeen, as that's all the Titan's really for. It's still phenomenal performance for a single GPU solution, but for less than half the price SLI 660ti matches or exceeds it. Right now I already have more than enough graphical power in terms of cost:performance with dual 670s, in the realm of already being several hundred dollars above the safe mark for efficient money expenditure, but dual 670s aren't nearly as cool ):
if I wanted more performance for little extra cost I'd probably try to get my hands on an ARES

 Bring on the scripture! Gitcho Stephen Crane on!
A man said to the universe:
“Sir, I exist!"
“However,” replied the universe,
“The fact has not created in me
“A sense of obligation.”

The "Professional" Telsa/Firepro cards go for much more.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
