Suggest a gaming/animation Config for 75k

[Zangetsu]

@Davidboon: the config u finally decide...is good...

But...even Nvidia or ATI wont guarantee u dat HD5970 or HD5870 will be
futureproof.....for 3yrs.....
in coming 1yrs...anything can change...so dnt be 100% sure

if u really want 2 cross the limits of gaming...then use LUCID Hydra setup

lucid hydra works well for only a few games...for rest its even slower than individual cards.......IMO WASTE OF MONEY

 

[Davidboon]

what is LUCID Hydra ? now you guys need to educate me on this topic . I've been out of sync with technology after my boards .

but what will you do with 4 pci-e slots....the board i mentioned is a perfect one...dont waste money dude.

I got a 9800GT . i want to use it for Physx and later ill buy another 5870 . so 4 slots will be handy in future .

lucid hydra chip allows you to put nvidia and ati gpus together for eg. gtx285 and hd5870........

it is available on msi fuzion motherboards like big bang fuzion which costs 25k

in short, allows to crossbreed graphics card

the boards are---

msi big bang fuzion
msi p55a fuzion
msi 870a fuzion (although 770 chipset)

its 870X + SB710. so i think Sata 6Gbps isn't available. but some sites tell its based on the 870X + SB850.

add these to the list:
PowerColor HD5770 Evolution.

dude sammy check msi website, its based on 770 chipset

oh yes. thanks buddy. Fudzilla reported its based on 870+ SB710. than someone else (Inpai i think) reported its based on 870X+SB850. confused.
