Not sure in exact credit numbers, but this post should help...
I don't know about those cards but the 570 does between 550k-600k per day. Not sure of exact number because I have mine a little OC'd and its doing about 640k per day.Quote:

NVidia cards don't need dummy plugs (and I believe it is called SLI mode) - So I can't see why not, but it would be entirely unnecessary...
Indeed, if one has an SLI motherboard it would be in SLI if I "connected" them. Alas, I have a Crossfire motherboard (SLI is Nvidia and Crossfire is ATI) so my question is, can I run 2 nvidia cards in a Crossfire motherboard?
@ Harley. What card are you running? I mean what brand.
This is where more knowledgeable people than I weight in - but I would guess yes, as long as you didn't run them in SLI mode. Which you shouldn't need to with Nvidia cards (unless you're a HARDCORE gamer)...Quote:

Sweet! Thx Harley.

OK, OK, OK......
I guess I was just reading emotions in replies that just weren't there.
If EVER I DO irk anyone, they can always PM me and I'll lay off.
Peace.
This is true. There's no additional chip or something on a motherboard that's SLI/Xfire certified. It's just a title. Same with SLI/Xfire certified PSUs. What makes them certified? If they have a 6-pin and 8-pin power connector. That's it. Put that on a PSU and you can get it certified. As Harley said, it's just a marketing scheme.Quote:

Its a factory OC edition. Without touching the clocks it does 601k per day on PG. I bumped up my clocks a little and now it does 640k. The best part about this is that its cheaper than MSI's non overclocked GTX 570.

Wow. That is some serious bang for the buck. Let us hope PG NEVER lowers the credits on that Nvidia app! ;)
Anyone running a GTX470?
FYI, life expectancy of the current GPU sub-projects on PG:

Good thread but I thought this as about graphics in a corvette or something.
That's how I lure you in! >:)Quote:

And I am still looking to see if anyone is crunching with a GTX 470 and what numbers they are getting.
I've got a GT240, so if you about double it... ;)Quote:

Anyone got any thoughts about it?
Good price - Will PG very well for you...Quote:

Like AMD, I'm not an Nvidia guy having owned ATI's since their Win98 card......Quote:
