I figure I will make millions of shrubberies and save the planet.

Actually, I am just going to fire up my new computer with some super fast GPU shrubbing - the GTX-590. I might pop a second card in there in a couple weeks if I can handle the noise and heat.

I really expected to be left in the dust lately but was surprised to see I am not so far down the list - no new PC's for me on the shrubbing list in a while.

SETI out of work now? Sorry, I have been out of the loop for a while.

A GTX590 should be a terror on DistRT. Might need an otherwise idle core or two to feed it efficiently, though.

Second GTX-590 just went in today. Things are going to suck in the summer when this heat is a real bear to deal with.

I should be passing 1 million shrubberies per day starting tomorrow!

Let me know how it goes shrubs wise with the GTX590

Been looking at this one from my regular supplier:

Novatech GeForce GTX 590 3072MB GDDR5
608MHz Core, 1216MHz Shader, 1024 Cuda Cores, 3 x DVI, Mini DPort, PCIe 2.0

Price: £599.99 inc vat

Interested in the fact that I could hook 3 monitors up to it as well which will help me in some of the work I do. 6 monitors would be better if I can find a MB which will take 2 or more of them.

I have one of the GTX 590's and I get over 500,000 shrubs per day from it running 24/7.

The second one isn't running as well as I hoped yet but it is on an older XP 32 bit install. I may just need to upgrade that computer to Win7-64 anyway.

Cool banana's that's a goodly amount of shrubs daily with one.

Get the other one running sweet and its a cool mill in the shrub bank daily Very Happy

I'm looking for your dust trail. Guess you passed me a long time ago and I didn't notice Lol.
