Blue-Leader SMP 2009's Kepler SLI Upgrade Complete!!!!! \o/ \o/ \o/

Hi everyone

It's been a while since I did a serious upgrade, but I finally upgraded my main workstation with some serious Kepler GPGPU's, from EVGA of course!

The pics I am about to show will tell you my story hehe, the system I am showing used to have the EVGA GeForce GTX 295 Red Editions in it, so this upgrade gave me a phenomenal improvement as overall performance goes, just crazy actually.

From Four G200-400-B3 GPGPU's to two GK104-325-A2 GPGPU's or from 960 G200 CUDA Cores to 3072 Kepler CUDA Cores, rofl yeah numbers differ but so does performance, only the performance per CUDA core is much more powerful with the G200's I must add that though, Kepler is more optimized for games than G200 and Fermi ever were, but all in all this upgrade feels very good already rofl!

So here the first pic of the system it's self:

Here a shot from its windowed side panel:

Here a shot of the side window and side fan removed; as you can see I used the same brandless hard B SLI bridge, it also makes a neat finish this way:

See how the blue and white light penetrate them Aluminium side strips on them cards, just wonderful
Here some pics of the cards shall we! [:)]

Thanks mate

Hah many thanks Turrican & GrandAdmiralThrawn

As for them Hard PCB SLI bridges mine are nameless but they seem to be from FoxConn, which the seller told me
I got mine from here btw:

I had one of these that broke too once, what i got was lots of banding in my games, oh well this one works for now, I also find it strange that they can break all of a sudden, I can always use the EVGA sloppy SLI bridge if that is needed, but I hope to use the one I have now hehe.
The drivers for the GTX 680's are still bumpy though I had to move back to 306.02 Beta, since 306.23 WHQL gave me a NV driver crash and it reset my OS to safe mode :X I tested with single chip and 2-way SLI mode and it happened twice with that driver and why it happened well it was only with Black mesa, it could be that Keplers don't like older games much, still odd though, oh well with 306.02 Beta it's all good and as long it works I am fine beta or not.
I remember that the GTX 480 & GTX 580s were having similar things when they just were released so I guess this is nothing new

For the rest this system runs any new gen game out there flawlessly
