Hi guys,

I am on the way to build my personal supercomputer with 4 GeForce cards and I would like to see some benchmakrs first but I couldn't find a benchmark thread yet.
Maybe someone can link me to there?

I am thinking to buy 4x GTX295 and a 1500Watts PSU or 4x GTX260 [1792MB vRAM]/GTX285 [2048MB vRAM] and a 1200Watts PSU.
Would be great if benchmarks already exists for this configurations.

there are more than one, and they are here: http://www.refractivesoftware.com/forum ... m.php?f=21
and also in the GPU forum...

Hi Radiance,

Thanks for the Link.
Seems I have found what I was looking for.

Edit: One more question. Does Octane actually support 4x GTX295?

yeah, but with fermi cards you get much better scaling, nearly linear.
so if you want to build a machine with 4 GPUs, use the GTX400 series, not the GTX200.

maybe it's time to have a separate page for benchmark on the site (not forum) something like http://www.frybench.com/

Well, I am actually more interested on a 4x GTX260/285 [1,8GB/2GB vRAM] configuration because of the higher vRAM.
I read there is a GTX460 with 2GB vRAM comming/on the market. Would 4x 460 GPUs scale better than 4x 260/285?
And does anyone know if there is a 470/480 with higher vRAM comming/on the market too?

Edit: I too like the idea of a seperate benchmark site, alá frybench.com or cbscores.com

For now Gainward and Sparkle announced 2GB gtx460. I'm waiting for one of those two to upgrade...
