This seems so modern for this channel lol. Luv it!!! Cheers mate
Yep , GTX 680 is actually 9 years 1 month and 6 days old today
@@Dullahan_1 damn im getting old... it still feels like a fairly modern card to me, i cant believe its almost a decade old.
Damn I remember picking up the card used a month after launch for a great price, big upgrade from my 6970. 9 years ago....
The GTX 680 performance fell shy with 1050ti.... Albeit with more power draw (and heat).
For me, 1050ti is okay
Moore's law has massively slowed down. But I think that's good so there will be less e-waste from "outdated" computers.
Also, that's probably why companies have switched from making their devices faster to less repairable so you have to buy new ones more often.
Looks like the Perfect Cooling Solution for the RTX 3090 (thicc heatsinks)
Especially for SLI
If you can one at least :(((
fluff fluff even 1050ti s getting unavailable. Think about how bad is this situation
Considering its thick transistors (45 nm), it is
@@Anemonea No, EU is perfectly fine. You can buy 3090's everywhere. 3080 and below are the biggest problem tho..
Now you can Play Microsoft Flight Simulator with real jet engines
lmao
My first high end build was an i7-870 with a gtx 680, I can still remember when those cards came out like it was yesterday! Thanks for another great upload as always!
I used an i7 870 paired up with a gtx 780ti for a while as a budget gaming rig for a while, its honestly still a beast and manages playable framerates in most games
I still use a i7 870 nowday as main pc....
@@Devilot91 yeah i mean it still worked fine i just decided to upgrade
@@chrometape I should tok but im totally broke as now.. yet, the 870 is still excellent considering it's a 12 years ago cpu, time flies man..
@@Devilot91 yeah lots of the earlier i7s and i5s are still great value today
I loved lga 1366 so much. I ran a Xeon x5670 with 24 GB of RAM until 2019!
I love my x5690... 16GB of RAM only🙃
amigo este video va allegar al millon de visitas, seguro, te saludo desde argentina ya hace tiempo que te veo
Beautiful three GTX 680 SOC! The ram and motherboard combo is a very nice looking overkill build!
I used to have this motherboard, just had to repair the pins but one of the greatest I've never had. I've put on it a X5650 + two 780Ti for a workstation, that was perfectly stable
Man I always loved this motherboard - Says SUPERCOMPUTER on it. Back then to have all those X16 slots was indeed supercomputer status.

Much appreciated ! ;)
That thing looks op AF
feels bad for me.
Im still playing on a GTX 660 from gigabyte combined with a Xeon W3565 (chipset also X58, infact Asus Sabertooth X58) and 6x4 GB of DDR3 Ram.... yea kinda unbalanced i know but this pc will hopefully run my Minecraft servers in future...
modern games (everything after forza horizon 4) are virtually unplayable so im playing older games mostly....
Test some of my stuff on older hardware so i can find out if it would work.
Just be sure to only use the videos with a * in the comments as those have been tested, and patched.
Did they have to power up Chernobyl again just to start up your pc ?
GTX 680 is not that power hungry. It's a 180W TDP card (can pull 200+W if OC'ed to the limit). You could run this system fine on One (good quality) 1000W rated PSU.
Try 780 Ti regarding the Kepler generation. One of those will easily pull 300W (if overclocked). So will pull over 1000W with full load on 3 GPU's and CPU.
@@Wushu-viking ok nerd
@@microwave6097 🤓👍
Nah, the 680s are just artefacts.
@@mobiiuz129 he had to praise monolith for the pc to turn on
I'm amazed enough you managed to get THREE of those 680 SOC cards! Admittedly, the better sli scaling does have me hopeful for putting my 690 to use at some point sooner rather than later.
Even if it defeats the look of them, I just can't help but feel like those cards deserve to be waterblocked for an SLI in order to address the temperature situation fully. But that would require a generous amount of radiator area to do them justice. Then again, I think it was something like... four 480mm radiators could be linked up and then you could use one of those big home size box fans to push enough air. JayzTwoCents had a video on such a project. It was big enough to almost be able to maintain passively on their setup.
Damn man, sick build! I must say I love 1st gen i7 boards with SLI on :D Wish I had one of these beauties.
Overall great video and nice presentation of this rig potential ;)
Just imagine having 9 slots occupied by GPU’s...
I mean, we can do it again nowadays.
I legit cannot wait for the day we go back to single slot gpu's as the norm. I looooove small form factor components that really stretch the technology to its max
@@saikothesergal For workstation applications, it's also more ideal as you can fit more cards. Personally I'm sick of the 3.5 approaching 4 slot GPUS that come out today.
Yea and thankfully without the need for 9 graphic cards. I find 3 outputs from 1 card is fine if your flight simming.
Holy crap this looks mental !!! 🤯
Sooooo cool!
Crazy to think that GTX 680s are considered retro now, but that's just how fast the tech industry moves.
Great greetings from Poland!
So massive the 3rd card rear bracket did not fit in the test bench! Loved the video.
great video as always. What a flaw, I was expecting not much but a bigger difference in 3x than 1 card. Mafia, even works better with 1 card.
Such a lovely setup! Really nice cards reminds me of the two 680 i was rocking back in 2013 (4Gb Classified), but would love to get my hands on some 680 SOC for collection purpose, the bigger the better!
I love the video, that passed the 3 graphics to the fullest ... if now it impacts a few years ago you did not even imagine this. Greetings to all.
I have Asus P6T6 WS motherboard but it doesn't work. It would be amazing if it did. Asus made the best X58 motherboards. Overclocking, feautures and compatability is just amazing
[laughs in Gigabyte X58A-OC]
Круто чувак !!!
Thanks alot 😊 for this amazing video.Socket 1366 platform are my favorite ones.Great work ! Thumbs up !
Oh my GOD you have 3 of those cards I've been trying for 2 years to find one to add it to my collection.
we will never see these builds again with the new cards because of the death of SLI and that makes me sad
Very sad..
It would be amazing to have 4-way 5090 8k 144hz
those 3 way SLI boards are nuts! HAH!
I haven't done SLI since 2x voodoo 2s
Just never made any sense to me as, to get a graphics card upgrade all you have to wait for new graphics cards to come on the market and swap out your old one!
неплохой обогреватель =)
Those gtx 680 back in the day were like.. gold
That's insane, love it 😁
Very good, I heard something like a youtuber said that this is the sound of performance.
I LOVE THIS RETRO BEAST!!! Once premium is always premium!
I am curious about the power draw of those 2 PSU when the thing is running. Total system draw at idle, gaming and benchmarking would be nice to see. TBH 3 GTX 680 phat bois!!! .
GPU shortage and skyrocketing price made us to think outside the box. Content like this should be more in yt.
I have that mainboard in storage. Loved that system and set quite a few records with it way back in the day.
i was waiting for this
Крутой Пылесос ))))
The i7 920 will forever be the most legendary chip IMO... What an incredible jump in performance 10 years ago it had over the infamous Q6600
TDP 130 W... Low frequency .... Why it's cool?🤔
@@ApostolCV First commercial CPU from Intel with hyper-threading. A great increase in power from the C2Q days.
@@codejunki567 ,first CPU with HT was Xeon based on Netburst technology and Pentium 4.
Always yours captain obvious.😉
@@ApostolCV I didn't know about the Pentium 4, and I said commercially available not for servers. I stand corrected, but still I was too young too care about computers in 2002. I did not know Pentium 4 had HT.
Puts, eu era louco por uma placa dessa, mas além da dificuldade de encontrar, era caríssima. Tive que me contentar com uma GTX 670 blower a época.
LOL um BR aqui tbm kk
Opa, mais um
that is so cool ^^ i still have my i7 920/x58 sabertooth in my 2nd pc they still doing well =)
Very cool seeing a triple card setup .
I can feel the wind from here.
love it, yourur finest work yet.
great job comrade
Nice video, and those temps are not as high as i would expect. I was thinking that middle card would be totally starved for air and get 80c+ easy. You should have also tested he 3rd card as dedicated physx card in the games that didnt use it very well.
Any test was 1-2 minutes after cold start, after 15 minutes system usually went down ... because protection before disaster.
Really appreciate the minimal speech style of your videos. Most channels make videos where they constantly speak with a monotone voice, just pointing out obvious and useless stuff, it gets really annoying.
Built a bugdet system for my nephew a couple of months ago, had an I7-970 six core cpu in it, the same model AIO as in the vid, 24Gb Ram, SSD's and a RX580 I got at a reasonable price.Performed quite well for gaming actually, despite being over a decade old by now :)
Sweet MOTHER of Jozep!
it's been a long time to get all 3 same cards..
Awesome hardware and benchmarks!
3:44 FWOOOOSH
Also never knew mafia 2 had negative scaling with sli enabled
Ótimo Vídeo!
Great video.
damn this looks epic!
edit: btw did you seriously used dual power supplys to power this machine?
for sure 2x PSUs
oh then nice, i bet it's power hungry because of 3-way SLI GPUs lol
damn, boy, very nice hardware! I'm soo fucking jealous!! Great video 🔥🔥👌🏼
"RETRO HARDWARE" and I am still rocking a 660 Ti PE/OC hahahaha
Loved the video!!
I have a GTX 560 ti soooo...
@@pepin2089 nice, I'm still good because I only play CS:GO so I get +250FPS and with 144Hz its enough framerate, dont play anything else and not that much CS either.
HD 5770 user here
Эта сборка - произведение искусства! Мое почтение!!!
You should pick up an x5675... They're 6c/12t, really cheap, and you can overclock them to like 4.6ghz. You just need to add the xeon microcode to the bios and it's a good idea to patch the bios for vulnerabilities as well anyways
Fits my final opinion on SLI/Crossfire, at least it looks badass because it only works in *some* benchmarks haha. I've tried 4+ generations of cards, same results
Still rocking my i7-920XM in my Alienware M15X today :) it's a great cpu
I think it would be better if you show difference between 1, 2 and 3 cards.
Also would be nice if you use some of top CPU (990x for example). Of course if you have it)
Cool content!
He did show the performance of 1 card compared to the 3 cards in the games, and a 990x would be over kill because those cards were already bottlenecking the 920.
I have i7-920, didn't feel so good at that time. After buying i7-2600K the differences was like day and night :D, 920 is really slow!
In December I bought 5950X, I realize i7-2600K was bottle neck to GTX 1080 GPU all the time. But good CPU for 8 years.
Dream setup!
Such legend
As cool as it is, you can really see why they discontinued SLI, not only is it expensive to get a single GPU, maintaining usable temperatures and low noise levels on multiple GPUs is impossible.
For the price of getting the game to run 100% faster with SLI, you might as well get a new PC every 2-3 years to run it 100% faster.
Wow great GPU temps my gigabyte GTX 275 SOC with aftermarket zalman cooler with 2x120mm fans runs around 69c in a very well cooled custom case
Bro it's insane~~~~~!
3:45 - just like Starting up a Formula 1 Engine :D
3:08 look at that rows of fans, and look at that beautiful ram this is amazing,
3:45 and we have lifoff :)
And what is funny in my country 680GTX is still sold for descent price, people do use them.
To think that all of these equipments could be easily defeated by GTX 1660 ti is just mind blowing how Technology has come
Technically/theoretically speaking, three 680's outperform a 1660ti.
Frametimes would've been nice to see as SLI is notorious for (micro)stutters, otherwise hella interesting video about 3 jet engine xD Used to have GTX 770 2GB (same card with bit higher VRAM clocks).
Microstutters supposedly go away with a third card in SLI
cool looking cards, all you can see looking down on your setup is fans everywhere lol.
Woah, these 3 GPUs are bigger than my old pc lol
This pc is the final boss of the very last lan party
Here before this blows up and im not talking about the gpus
My head says: why would anybody even do this.
My heart says:, shut up you fool this is freaking awesome.
Absolutely love it man, great work 👍❤️
В сталкере должно быть 500фпс, но 1 ядро ток, тут надо гнать до 7Ггц
I love your channel
лютый видос!!!Спасибо!
Приятно смотреть Ваш канал
Super video !
Legendary 🤩
While this is a dream build for me, it's not exactly what one would define as "retro" hardware. I mean, my current rig is running an i7 950.
I wonder how those cards perform with 5 Noctua fans, and blowing air towards the motherboard instead.
Gota love the old X58 I just finished building my Asus P6X58D-E with Xenon X5675 @ 4.2Ghz with an RX570 24gb 1826 MHz DDR3 triple channel cant go any higher with this raidmax 500 W PSU
Pięknie to wygląda. :)
wow really amazing setup 3 pretty rare gpu in sli with pretty cool motherboard :)
1366,baby!)
u need make one am3+ extreme build
I like the jet engine in the background.
bloody hell these are rare cards, I wish to have one
sounds like a server when you turn it on for a second
do this sli setup with 3 GTX 480s love it keep it up man Thanks.
Try going to a 2-way SLI and try older drivers. Like 331.xx or slightly older. SLI scaling may improve. Also, the cpu and memory is the bottle neck at lower resolutions. Batch 3913 is close to the magic bin. Should be able to get 3.8 easily. 4.0 possibly with decent voltages. Memory...eh. It's Micron and won't scale much. Maybe 8-8-8 at 1600. Or try 9-9-9 at 1866. A nice x5650 would pair nicely here with some BBSE, Hypers or even PSC bins. (Corsair v2.2, v2.1(2K8-8-8), V7.1) QPI matters for SLI scaling....but I'm not familiar enough right now with x58 and a PLX chip inline.
CPU can do more, or with some 4 core Xeons at 4GHz ... problem is with chipset cooling if you have these 3 tanks on MB.
That motherboard looks the best of the best back from 2009, funny you consider that retro... My 2600k probably its also considered retro, well i'm impressed about the i7 920 no more than 20% usage in all the benchmarks with 3 gpu
Sounds like a sea harrier in VTOL mode... AWESOME
my favorite
the time has come
my all-day use pc is now retro hardware...
glad to see a stalker game in this vid :)
His Neighbour: whos buying jet plane?
- How powerful yor computer is?
- When I turn it on, lights in my house go out
🙉🙉🙉
nice man, rare setup. too many power :)
My cpu in a RETRO Hardware video. Feels bad man.jpg
