the gf has tasked me with the challenge of building her a pc that can actually run turetts and all brackets with 15 accounts, she is currently running a;
6 core 3.4 AMD Pehnom Black 2 (never gets past 40% with 8 accounts)
16gb Ram 1333mhz (never gets past 45% with 8 accounts)
2 x 10k raptor 500gb raid 0 HDD's
5970 gfx card
What can I do to this system to future proof it, as it use to run 8 with ease but with the new gfx it makes the GFX run like a fat man for an ice cream van at 98% with gfx on low and brackets and turrets off.
i was considering buying an additional 6970 to complement the 5970 and crossfiring them, will this make the machine furture proof for all new releases and enable me to get her upto her desired 15 accounts on a machine
Any suggestions would be appreciated as she is a dedicated miner and wants MOOOOOOAR :)

8-core CPUs may be better then a 6-core CPU.
Or use a pair of cheaper boxes, hook each up to their own monitor and run Synergy so you can move the mouse between the two screens (which also changes keyboard focus).
If we SLi and use different monitors on each card would that help? |

You are GPU limited plain and simple...
The raptors are "useless" as you are not even using all your ram... so once eve is loaded into system memory the HDD's are not even being used, eve is not being paged...
2x gtx 680's. Done. Also new PSU, you did not mention it telling me it was not cared about when the system was built and likely is cheap ****.
You don't want to SLI and then use different screens... just run 2x cards and just use different screens...
I new putting this on we could end up in a Ati / Nvida & AMD / Intel debate, this system was built cheaply in the beginning and willing to replace all and build from scratch again,
My logic was that the cpu and ram were not maxed there for didnt need to be touched, but the gpu maxed is where the issue is, just looking for confirmation 2 or 3 cards would be better, and a card per screen or all via one card sli'd / crossfired |
