Getting 180% the performance of two cards is pretty close to ideal (200%). Especially when you account for Amdahl's Law - not every part of the graphics pipeline can necessarily be parallelized. Getting 90% the theoretical best improvement is pretty good for computing.
if you're not paying for it and your parents are fine about paying for it what's the problem

If I could get a free mac it would be a good day. I mean, I feel limited on a Mac, but I could definitely make it work for free... Sounds like a damn good deal. Run with it.

Exactly. It's not really wasted money. It's being used pretty damn well. Even without comparing it to the older generations. Yea, you may not need 2.5k worth of GPU's to run 3.5 K worth of monitors, but it's all running at respectable efficiency.

It's not uncommon. Depends when you speak to them. Sometimes they are more open to ideas than other times. Perhaps your dad just got some from your mom so he was willing.

Do whatever you want, we aren't your parents. Why would or should any of us care what you do?
Somewhat content. My dad is no dummy with computers, but this I thought was funny, but I guess he was just lazy. He brings home his old media server from work, and he needed me to reinstall Linux on it. So, I gladly do it, after all it only took a few hours and I was the one with the disks. He takes it to his room to add programs, and add all his media back. He took the VGA cable from his monitor, had a DVI converter on the end of it and plugged it into the DVI port.
So I finally got a new PSP charger so I could get my two free games from Sony, I can't fucking get LBP PSP because it keeps losing connection to the server, yet the game that requires more space works perfectly fine. :colbert:
By the way, the computer had it's own dedicated VGA port.

Assuming that since his parents made a big deal about not giving him money to build a desktop they probably wouldn't be too happy that he just sold his brand new macbook for a fraction of the price he just bought it for...
Yeah, that is probably a good way to piss his parents off and never get anything new or nice again.

Wasn't trying to come off as a dick. Was trying to say you can do whatever you want. If you want to make it you will have to promote it to be used...
If you want to do it, do it and just try and get it to be popular. If it fails it fails. Don't be so fragile and take everything as a personal attack...

I will be doing shit ton of videos for my youtube channel, unboxings, overviews, build videos, benchmarks all of it. I'll make a topic about all of it when I get the cards. SO yes, I'll be postings lots of stuff on them. Excited to just see them and touch them. I'm going to rub my penis on them for a couple days.
I don't think I can run one of the cards in my current rig due to my 600watter. Currently I idle at 230watts and load at like 300watts via my Kill a watt meter. So I'll see.

They are just meaningless words. Well they have meaning, but nothing serious. It's just a forum and if something comes off slightly hostile, I wouldn't worry about it. I Didn't mean to come off hostile. Sorry for my capitalization.
