I give you the World's Most Expensive Gaming GPU to be ever sold!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-Radeon-HD-7990-Malta-Engineering-Sample-/121096253149?nma=true&si=zGt0XWHpMEW6EQpjTmrCfrqonns%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Yes you read that right. An engineering sample of AMD's upcoming Tahiti x2 GPU sold for a whopping $96,100.0. :shock:

I think someone is off their meds. :P

some asshole keeps outbidding me. It's gonna cost me my monthly salary pffffffff, probably going need some allowance from my wife when the bidding is over

It has to be sold in order to be the "most expensive ever sold".  :)

It's gonna be yanked.

And people say alienwares are expensive lol

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"][QUOTE="bobbetybob"] ...games. Fans just keep heat down, you could have one fan, 3 fans, 20 fans, it doesn't mean something is more powerful, it just means it has better cooling which is never a bad thing. seanmcloughlin

You make it sound as if 3 fans is something new and crazy. Even a 480 has a triple fan setup. 

And yes it does mean it's generating a lot of heat. Even a 690 only has 1 fan for 2 GPUs 

DUMB!!! :!:

Awesome lol. You know you're rich when you can spend 100 grand on a GPU.

God damn PC Gaming is expensive. Looks like I'll have to go rob a bank for my next upgrade.

Well..  I thought I was dumb for paying 40 dollars for Castlevania Chronicles, but dayum.

Nvidia prob bought it to chop it up and test it.

i don't know if i'm more shocked at the price, or the overkill amount of fans dedicated to a single card. what are they powering there, a reactor?BrunoBRS

No wonder they have to pirate games.

You're just sad because you're poor.

The price is almost close to a 2012 model of a BMW m6. :shock:

What the fvck :? What would you even use that for?

Dat immersion?

I would say this is dumb, but $100K is probably the equivalent to $100 for whoever bought it. I doubt the person is even a gamer.

That GPU renders the world around you as you play. To ease the strain on real life

Plays farmville at 5000 fps

This listing was ended by the seller because the item was sold. :sTessellation

Disappointed you didn't get a bid in?

lhughey

It's been sold. Apparently, to someone who has money to burn. Probably literally. 

[QUOTE="bobbetybob"][QUOTE="BrunoBRS"] still sounds overkill. i mean, those are DEDICATED fans. what kind of insane thing are you running on your PC that would even justify that?BrunoBRS

You make it sound as if 3 fans is something new and crazy. Even a 480 has a triple fan setup. 

And yes it does mean it's generating a lot of heat. Even a 690 only has 1 fan for 2 GPUs 

Hermits would mortgage their homes to get loans for this card if this was the retail price. Dem graphics...

Probably a hardware engineer or some other engineer who bought it I bet :P

Ummm how is this a System Wars topic and not Hermit PornSuddenlySudden

It is both.
