what would a beast like that cost?
If you have to ask, you can't afford it :)
hehe, thats what I was afraid of :D
Jeepers! Just found out that these beasts starting price is $17500!
I told you so... :)
humbug... in 6 months it'll be at $1750.. :p
in 12 months it'll be $175.00
when it's $1.75 it will be worth buying then ;)

pfft.. futuremark crew have got future stuff, not current stuff like us mere mortals.
Yeah i wonder what kind of stuff they get from the vendors these days.
Maybe the graphic systems have somekind of pseudo emotional balancing chip integrated which evalutates certain styles thrown at it and if it's good enough the cards start to purr nicely.
Mad onion: Oh did you hear that? I must have done something really good as the system is purring *blush*... ;O)

Naah... currently I have GeForce 7800 GTX, but these come and go as needed... like when we need to test compatibility or features of the card or app in development.

We obviously get the latest stuff and some that are coming available to the public only MUCH later... but I don't want to have first alpha versions with pre-alpha drivers on MY work PC - that would just mean endless BSODding and I have work to do! So for work purposes we do have surprisingly "standard" harware... "tried and tested" is better than stuff that goes really fast or not at all. :)

Wasn't Becky written in the profile?
@Mustang
Well, i would have expected that like anyone else you use stable sytems for work but also have some fresh meat where you just try out stuff...
