There is always a place for those 'special' people in the bus, not sure if that's a compliment though

I'm home for the weekend! Meaning I can finally get some of the extra info about my older cards (bought a couple of them used and I don't have exact part numbers saved digitally). Expect a post within the next couple days. Or never, knowing me. Place your bets!

@Bastiaan_NL I added a 3rd 3080ti FTW3. 

 

 

As part of the addition, this system was relocated from my awful wood framing for the GPUs into a new case from @Spotswood.  I still need to add the fans, but otherwise the new case is done!

[Avacado]

You will have to remove my 750Ti, @axipher is now the proud owner of the card and a new inductee into the fanboy club.

I should probably order a case now so I can build a new home for that little guy.

 

Also I'll need to learn to overclock Nvidia again and figure out best OS and tools to install, any tips?

[Avacado]

Yes, You got the MOBO and 9700k with the 750Ti. You will have to salvage some RAM. IIRC I did not have that chip on an OC in the last build, but she will go over 5GHz (She's Lapped). As for the GPU tuning, all you will need is Precision X1 and win 10 if you have it. If you are going for any Linux variant, I won't be able to help you, but @tictoc and many others can.

Yeah alright I deserve every bit of flak I get for saying I'm gonna do something on this forum and then not doing it for two weeks or a month or whatever it may be lmao. But here's my submission!

 

My OG EVGA cards: a used GTX 960 4GB FTW from PimpSkyline on OCN, purchased on Jul 15th, 2017, part number O4G-P4-3969-KR, and a used GTX 980 SC from Ebay, purchased on Oct 4th, 2017, part number O4G-P4-2983-KR. Bought them as 24/7 folding cards for the OCN Team Competition, and they've been a 24/7 folders ever since. Up until a couple weeks ago, other than a few rare days here and there, they've been running full blast ever since. Kind of crazy to think about. The 960 has recently been swapped out and is on standby; may be going to a friend as a gift for a first gaming PC, but the 980 folds on.

 

 

The EVGA duo: a pair of GTX 1070 Ti FTWs, purchased on Nov 15th, 2018, new, on clearance. Part number 08G-P4-6678-KR. Love these things; they've always been paired up until very recently. They started out in my main PC, and I used them for gaming and folding for a couple years. They went into storage for some months after they were replaced by a 2080 Ti, and then a couple weeks ago, I swapped one into my 24/7 folding rig as my ETF card, and the other is waiting to go into another system. They would both be in that folding rig, but because of the AM3 motherboard's PCI slot layout, the 2.5 slot cards don't fit together. I should be able to remedy that with hardware I already have in the not-too-distant future.

 

 

Years later came the current daily 2080 Tis, the first of which is an EVGA RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 Ultra Hybrid, purchased used from Ebay on September 18th, 2020, shortly before prices went haywire. Part number 11G-P4-2484-RX. This one lives in my racing sim PC, so I game on it anywhere from none to a few times a week, and it folds the rest of the time. Really sweet card, my first hybrid cooler as well. I love how it fits in this case. Need to do some dusting and pop in the sleeved cables I got for this PC though.

 

 

Finally is an EVGA RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 Ultra, purchased used from TK421 on OCN on September 22nd, 2020, just four days after the first 2080 Ti. Part number 11G-P4-2487-KR. This is in my daily PC, so it gets a healthy dose of gaming, but folds otherwise. The horizontal triple slot look is sweet. Also really needs a dusting since it's in a mostly open case, and could use a cable comb or two as well. Lighting sucks for this pic, but it is what it is.

 

 

Interestingly, if you average the purchase dates for the two 2080 Tis, you get one year ago, today. So I was actually just waiting to post until their averaged purchase anniversary. Promise.

Don't forget to show us a picture when you have it up and running!

You might deserve it, but after such a nice write up I don't really mind waiting a bit

Lots of nice cards, I added almost all of them. The 980SC is not badass enough

And I agree that the air cooled 2080Ti could use some cleaning, I bet it'll be a lot cooler with higher boost clocks!

Good man. You are the first person I think to make use of the embed. Glad to see it works after my testing. Nothing worse when something works for you, then you release it and everyone else tells you its borked haha.
