Um.... a 1080gtx would increase  by 2.85x   from my current hd-7970

The Titan, based on those Rumor-Specs,  would be about 4.28x

Greatly reduce draw latency..  so I can see other snakes before they see me...

I wonder when they'll push out the Ti and titan? maybe around the time when AMD releases their new vega 10 gpu?

Okokokok.. Here's the plan....

My personal monthly food bill is ~$300usd...

If I eat only ramen each month, that is $0.45*3*30,  a saving of $259.5

$1000/ 259.5 = 3.85 Months..

At some point we'll all need to install 20 amp circuits to run 1200+ PSUs..

Side note, I recently watched a video about Momofuku Ando. That guy was a legend!

1200watt can run fine on most houses built in the past 20 years..

if you're on the garage or kitchen,  both usually have 20 amp lines..

But the 1080 isn't that power hungry..

My servers run in the basement.. 4x redundant 900watt power supplies.. 2 servers.

1200watt idle..

You know it's not THAT much more to eat healthily and slightly more wholesome meals.

Oh I was looking at the Titans :eek: I can see your point, I've read that most can't even come close to using 1200watts. I just like the idea of 20amp circuits

I don't read Chinese ... is that 24GB RAM on graphics card?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

How would you improve the ramen 1080 Titan savings diet ?

Let's see some numbers..

I'm assuming you have something like Costco or have a friend who can take you there.

Wouldn't rice with soy sauce + egg work better? Assuming you have a 25lb bag of rice, and you only eat a bowl of rice per meal..Running off my calculations...  the cheapest 25 lb rice bag is about $16. One 4 lb bottle of soy sauce is....$8.50. You'd need only one for 2 months. So it's $4.25 a month. Eggs...get the largest pack, which here is about a 96 pack. That's about $15.

16 + 4.25 + 15 = $35.25

:)

Please note: I'm not currently in the US so I can't confirm price validity.

What are you running now? You don't need to upgrade.

Or, and crazy thought, show some restraint and don't buy until a price drop.
