This is the second time in two days I've heard people raving about SSDs,
are they less prone to failure these days? I gave up being excited about
them a while back after seeing a string of friends have nothing but
nightmares...

That's encouraging to hear, thank for the detailed breakdown Ben. However,
you know of course that by sending that email you have set the cogs of
Murphy's law in irreversible motion for total failure of at least one...

Does put 2 graphics card for SLI see benefits in XSI interface
performance and help also help rendering in GPU plugins like Exocortex
Fury 2?
Thanks,
Leoung
Hi Leoung,
SLI should will see some benefits with Fury 2, although half of the
Fury 2 calculations when self-shadowing happen on the CPU and two
video cards won't speed that up and usually you feed Fury 2 via ICE
simulations which happen completely on the CPU right now. I
personally have never
Hi Ben,
Thanks for your feedback.
I am looking to get the Asus GTX 560 Ti for my i7 3930 /32gb ram
Do you have any experience with this card with Fury2?
Will definitely consider your suggestion of SSD. What kind of gain do
you see with the SSD cards?
I will definitely consider getting Fury2
Hi Leoung,
Very nice machine. I actually have the GeForce 560 Ti in my machine
right now. It works great with Fury 2. I find the GeForce x60 series
of cards a good price performance mix. I understand the GeForce 660,
which came out last month, is also great as a single card, almost 80%
faster
no benefit to XSI playback or viewport performance, afaik

Regarding SSDs, I can't recommend them enough. I'd recommend an SSD
as your boot drive and for your applications - thus 240GB or so is
what I use. But keep your data on a standard drive as the speed
difference isn't worth the high cost for large storage space.

I can't stress SSDs enough either. Best computer upgrade ever.
There is something magical about booting in ~20 seconds. Apps start so fast!
