the PSU is enough for the whole system : it's a 1600W. for the [email protected] and 3 titans, only need 1100W full load (CPU + GPU).
Else, you can add another PSU in parallel. I did it when I only have a 900W.

Hi,

What remote option are you using? Very interested in this.

How about building a PC in a freezer :)

I use RADMIN remote desktop with octane standalone or 3dsmax plugin. The client is just a small NUC with a big screen.
I have also use windows remote desktop for DAZ plugin because of pb with opengl.

In a freezer ? not a good idea !(humidity !!)

yes I know and tested it, but RADMIN is a lot faster when use it on LAN. The only problem with most of remote desktop software, is that DAZ (ie octane for daz) cannot be used fully. When I work with DAZ, I should use windows remote desktop v6 and not the metro windows 8 version.

I simply made a 3 inch hole in my wall with a blend. Took extra long cable and installed the computer into another room! 8 X USB 3.0 hub for mouse, 3d mouse and other USB devices - done!

Works great since 3 Years now. And i have the "most silent" pc you can get! :D

Kind regards Chris!

780 seems to be close to titan (in terms of performance)

If 790 comes out 4x790 will be the beast (3gb of vram though)

Titan is about +15% performance over 780 for octane.
but the price is +50% :shock:
So I think that 780 is the best choice if 3Gb is enough.

First test with GTX 780
score 4.93

No overclocking done. I understand that It's possible to OC this card a bit without making it too loud or hot. As you can see the fanspeed didn't get very high.

you should play with the 1.16, it's faster !
and yes, the 780 is fast and "cheap". you should try some overclocking....
