EVGA bringing Single Slot GTX cards again?

[glimpse]

Any reasonable (reason) why they put there so much power?

I'm no expert on this, but I think, Yeah, there is a reason =) just remember launch of 980. While nVidia was jumping around shouting how efficient is their new Maxwell architecture, tomsHardware was delivered an SKU from Gigabyte with I believe wind force cooler & non-reference design board (though I can make a mistake here..) so how how does that went?..after initial review they concluded this card was actually very hungry (& they or some others expressed the view, it might be capped because of power) - it was so bizarre, that nVidia puled the trigger & asked tomsHardware to modify the original content of that article pulling out the data =) 'cos it wasn't reflecting real world situation (in their view =) so all this power craziness especially on extreme edge OC might be useful. Saw some other companies working on power delivery daughter boards for GPUs - so it's probably know issue, but it far of the scope of my interests =)..One thing for sure..- for OctaneRender it's not the best best.. - price expected at least few hundred dollars higher (digging a grave in value graph =)

Thanks glimpse.

Yes. I remember some first power scores for 900 series. Since then I am not particularly curious of 900, luckily having 780 with 6gb
But still curious about next generation of titans or 210 chip in gtx line. This would rock.

yeah, I'm waiting for GTC exactly for the same reason - have a feeling nvidia is going to show something there =) 980/970 could be skipped easily by Octane community - Guys still find 780 6gb on sale for ridiculous prices =DDD..

How's Your rig doing? Any upgrades, tweaks or anything else along those lines? =)

Not having too much time last days. Learning modo intensively for new projects. I hope to order demciflex filters - they should open their factory as of today. I lack of filters - too much dust with so much positive air pressure and 16 fans inside

hehe, have great time! =) powerful piece especially that MeshFusion thing! =)

I believe dust becomes a problem with such airflow =DDD..

Yes, this makes my heart beating stronger. What a software!
