A Memorial to Kreij - Gone 9 years but never forgotten- check out the latest build(s)

Official entry for the TPU card

It would be an upgrade across all of my rigs. I would be upgrading from a GTX770 in my rig, and the GTX770 would then be moved to my wife's rig, replacing her GTX760, and the GTX760 would then be moved into the living room HTPC and replace an aging HD6850.

I find that the GTX770, at only 2GB of VRAM, doesn't have enough 'oomph' to push my triple screen setup (5760x1080) while racing (Project Cars, Assetto Corsa, GRID, etc) on the higher settings. Upgrading to a 780ti would be just the thing I need to hold a steady framerate.

Now that I seem to have the heat under control in my office, I would also consider folding (or crunching) with the 780ti on TPUs team.

Hi,
Just to say thanks.

Very generous giveaway @the54thvoid and for a good cause.

Official Jealousy

I'd like to enter, but I don't think I'd use it enough to justify it. Seriously awesome giveaway!

 

[Toothless]

I'd enter but not sure if I qualify, though if I did win, then I'd pass down my current 780 to a friend who cannot afford a new GPU, nor much of anything after his two battles with cancer.

Official Entry.

TPU card, as a 780ti is an upgrade from a 780, right?

I'm planning on getting new 1080p monitors and upscaling one of them to 1440p, and a 780 can't run that on my standards.

The current card? Gift it to a buddy of mine as he can't afford a GPU, since him and I are doing a GPU stepping thing for him and his family so they all can play games together; something they couldn't do before.

But can it do 300K PPD? That is the question.

Depends what the "P" stands for.

 

[johnspack]

God dam yes... the only part left working right in my box is my gtx480.... I'm in. I will fold at least some on it, and I have a long history of folding and crunching. And my computer is dying right now. Help.
Official Entry, whatever.....

ROTTSUN FTW

gl to everyone

 

[Ahhzz]

*sigh* my first car was a 72 Datsun 510..... drove the hell outta that car... put two clutches in it, had the motor rebuilt... thing was a handful to reinstall, but my Dad and I put it all back together Ran that thing into the ground....

Official Entry, F@H.

My current card, a 7850, is the best card I've had. It regularly get's me the last piece of pie, 2-3 times a week!!

If I win, it goes back to the TEAM, for Norton to include in a Future giveaway. I am quite sure, a 780ti is gonna take the 7850 to school. Even though, I love the 7850, it runs everything I throw at it, I wouldn't mind a card that will accommodate my future plans, upgrade wise.

Also, I would forgo personal gains for at least 6 Months of Folding for Uncle K. As @Norton knows, I have Crunched for him, in the past, over a 100thousand, delaying my entry to the Millionaires club.

No worries. I enjoyed it.

Thanks @the54thvoid for the awesome gift/gifts!! Thanks @Norton for spending so much time promoting and holding giveaways in Kreij's honor. Truly, he was a one off!! Miss him, around here!!

Bump it up- reminder that you have until 8/7 to get your entry in to get a shot at winning one of these great gpu's

Thanks a lot for organizing the contest and donate the prizes.

If you don't have a liquid cooling system then you can not choose the TPU card, right? Becuase the only one with OEM air cooler is the TPU folder card.

The folding card will be sent with water block attached but the ACX cooler also bundled in the box. The TPU 'open' card is a dedicated hydrocopper with no ACX cooler. I believe you can purchase 3rd party 780ti air coolers quite easily from ebay and other retail outlets.

 

[tabascosauz]

@qu4k3r EVGA used to sell a GTX Titan [Black] ACX cooler, but now it's gone and replaced by the Titan X ACX 2.0 cooler. Unfortunately, I don't know if GM200's mounting holes are the same as GK110 (the board is otherwise the same, just reference Nvidia). If the mounting holes line up, any NVTTM blower would work too.

If all else fails, Corsair's HG10 could work. The Hydrocopper should be reference PCB. But hey, why get a crappy AIO when all you need is a pump/res, some tubing, some fittings and a small rad? It'll only set you back a little more $$ compared to if you had to get a FC with your own money.

This is a Classified card, so it is not using the reference PCB- the idea of using the reference blowers from a Titan/X/Black/etc isn't going to work.

If locating a suitable air cooler becomes an issue I am prepared to assist by locating one or putting together a basic water cooling loop for the winner.

 

[bubbleawsome]

So, just to clear it up in my mind, the folder card has an OEM cooler, but the general one doesn't? I'd love to enter, but I can't support a water loop.

Not OEM, The EVGA ACX. Most likely this: http://www.evga.com/Products/Specs/GPU.aspx?pn=88601331-DBCE-436D-8EB3-37F1F63B6745

These Arctic Cooling Twin Turbo III work frigging awesome:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186096

I have one on my ole 7870 and it is near silent even on 100% fan. I have never needed to run the fan at 100% as it stays below 60c even when folding and using it in games.

Only trouble with them coolers is the card will take up 3 slots once it is installed. However if a person is just using a single card it isn't an issue and keeps the cards very very cool.
