Quad SLI: Do NOTs

I just ordered a couple oF GeForce 590 GTX. What shoud I not do whie building/running this Quad SLI system?

Edited on 6th Nov 2011:

Most people have commented about the price. While posting here, imagine that price was not an issue. I have already purchased it. About overheating, I am not looking to overclock anytime soon. Will cross that bridge with watercooling sometime down the line.

590gtx quad SLI?

Call the fire department, have them on standby.

In all honesty, if you can get it to work the amount of power of 8 GPUs combined for one game will be extraordinary.

arent there a few problems regarding the 6990/590? and im not just talking about overheating

If you are looking to spend that much i would reccomend looking at running a water cooling loop

Do NOT use 590GTX and Do NOT quad sli. :) DO Tri sli. Human-after-all

Save the planet, don't sli at all :D

Don't feed them after midnight?

Don't mention them to your bank manager.

Don't give them anything less than 3 monitors.

Make sure that you at least have a 30 inch monitor that runs at 2560x1600 or having these cards will be a total waste of money. jonathant5

Heck, my SLI 250 gts (old rig) can run BF3 on medium... What you should DO is not buy another PC component for 10 years.

Ill tell you the dos instead.

Do buy a seperate 1000w psu to power the cards.

Do buy three 40+ inch NV surround.

Do buy a fire extinguisher.

..but do not play minecraft on it.

do not surf on facebook.

do not surf on 9gag... Seriously dont they collect souls there.

do not run on anything less than ultra high and run x9001 af/aa as if thats even possible.

If you live somewhere cold run a liquid cooling tube from your PC to your furnace. Put that extra heating to good use!

Do not order them. By the time a game comes out that will really need them, there will be better, more powerful cards out.

Quad 590 GTX is only 2 cards in SLI.... But yeah I dont think we are at the point where 8 GPU's would scale very well. Crossfire and SLI scale pretty good with 3 GPU's but the 4th one does very little or just never kicks in.

Oh and the GTX 590 is a very cool card it doesn't get that hot, when I had mine the temp while playing a game would only go up to 80c, and the card was very quite. And since your going to have 2 for Quad SLI make sure you have 1000w power supply.

a friend of mine has dual 590s....he has more issues playing games than I've ever seen in my life

All that GPU power with 1.5GB VRAM.... *giggle*C_Rule

Its 1.5GB per chip, which is 3GB total per card, or in the case of GTA4 (old topic posted by mitu), its 6GB total (stupid GTA :roll:)

Yeah it doesnt stack, but think of it like the 570's on 1 PCB with 3GB VRAM, thats what it says on the Nvidia site and Im getting it directly from there.

Waste of time. 2 580s are enough for anything.

Bought the 1000 W PSU.

Yes I don't want to upgrade for the next 10 years.

Each graphics card is expensive enough to personally make my lazy self go down to the repair service station if it breaks down.

Motherboard that I am thinking about is Sabertooth P67.

make sure you have a fire extinguisher ready for use beside your computer. Get the biggest full tower case you can think of. Get a 2000watt power supply if they have them, or the biggest power supply you're able to get. Definitely not anything under 1500 watts. Do not use only 1 monitor or else the video cards was a waste. Make sure you have 3 at least.

just checked the psu calculator it says you need at least a 1230 watt psu.
