well, maybe You can try to order smth online? =)
690 might be pricey, but it's two 2gb 680 glued together =)
& it scales nicelly..
so, just stop ant think for a second..why to waste +300$ more for some high-end mother-board having multiple pcie slots in order to equip it with not the best possible cards?.. I mean, it would take two conections on Your pricy board to get the same amount of computing power of two 680 2gb when You can buy cheaper motherboard & put dual gpu like 690 instead?.. I mean at least from my perspective it's a waste of space. unlike using it with something like 670, that gives You a great value & maximum available vRam (if we skip k20 teslas, that alone costs 2-3k$ & I haven't seen anyone benchmarked those yet =)
other sugestions might be to buy 3gb fermi based gtx580. but it's getting increasingly hard to get those as they are long gone out of production. there was a guy in the forum selling two used 580s & quadro card =) the last one is not useful for rendering very much, but it might be helpful if You do a lot of heavy geometry work with CAD soft (he was offering three cards =)
about virtu MVP You have to figureout yourself, read in the web or wait till other users to coment on it =)
I haven't used it myself yet, so have no idea what might be the flaws =)
New computer for octane render

HI glimpse
Have ordered the whole packaged now.
I ended up with
i7 3770K
P8 7ZZ V premium
Gigabyte GTX680 4GB (i finally found another shop that have it on stock, same prices as the other that only had 2GB,, strange)
WD 2T HD (Black)
Cooler master case http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cases/ ... e-review/1
32 GB RAM 8GB x 4 Pcs.
PSU 1200W
Good CPU cooler.
LG LED and IPS 24 inch monitor
The shop told me that they know about MVP, and will install it, i guess it comes as a part of the i7 or the mother board software.
I could not have done this with out your suggestions and expert knowledge. Thanks again.
I will try to send you a pic of the rig when it arrive my apartment.
