What's your current set up considering GTX680's sli'd avg 66/48...?

You may want to hold out for the Titan as that could easily surpass the 690 in SLI. Plus is the rendering you're doing CUDA supported? If so the Titan would an even better choice. 

 

  • GTX 690
  • i7 3770K
  • 32GB DDR3

As for GPUs, I don't want/need two of them (that's $2,000 on cards alone - which makes no sense for my build). I can't stress enough that this isn't a solitary gaming build.


When you render I'm presumming that'll take 100% CPU to do? Or will you micro-manage load?

85-90% CPU load. If I wasn't building next week, I'd wait for the newer Intel CPUs, but the 3970X will suffice either way, because it has the speed and cores.


True but if you're doing large renders that take 10's of hours, you're locking yourself out of your gaming machine, hence why an eight-core AMD PC would be a good idea as you could just leave that running 24/7 and it'd never interfere with your gaming. Just a thought.
