Eight GPUs?

Some guy doing SETI. Specs:

-= Vyper =- AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 920 Processor [AMD64 Family 16 Model 4 Stepping 2]
(4 processors) [8] NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 (895MB)



Eight GPUs? How is that possible? What kind of board is this? Is it a server?
 
A board with 4 PCI-E slots like the MSI K9A2 Platinum and 4 GTX 295's (which are dual GPU cards) 4x2=8.

Hey, to each his own. F@H may be a more worthwhile endeavor that needs more attention here on earth. But "somebody" has to run SETI. 😉
 
nope. cryphysics is such an anachronism you need heavy duty single-threaded IPC in addition to shading power. for 1920x1200 with high filters, i expect the first generation DX11 cards to have our bases covered on the shading, but i can set up a physics benchmark in 2 minutes that will crush any CPU you want. wish someone would donate a 5 GHz wolfdale for testing.
 
You can't stack that many GPUs together for Crysis anyway, lol, there's too much CPU overhead. That's why Tri SLI 285 still manages the highest minimum framerate in that game, quad SLI 295 has far more latency. Octo SLI 295 would be stuttercraft to your gameplay experience.
 
sure, but you can still get 60 FPS while physicalized objects flutter around like snowflakes in the wind. FPS is totally separate from physics.
 
The power consumption must be immense. Can you run that on a single 1.2kw power supply? It would probably be cheaper to run it on a pair of 700 watts or some multiple PSU config.
