    OK I just had a nerdgasm... For WCG, you would still need CPUs... LOTS of CPUs... at least 8 sockets for 16 GPUs... best case, 16 sockets... or even 32 if possible!

    A dozen! Lulz! Put 16 7990 in there X 12... you will be in the petaflop range! Probably in the top 15 in supercomputers.

    You would sadly empty WCG of GPU WU's in about a day though :P
    Alternatively they could be sitting mostly idle as it chokes your internet connection while getting new WU's.

    Main Rig:
    - i7 2600k + Noctua NH-C14 - GTX 570
    - 16 GB RAM - Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
    - 1x 256GB Corsair Performance Pro SSD
    - 1x 256GB Samsung 830 SSD

    If you could feed this machine cpu wise the internet connection would only need .1 MB down and .1 MB up every 2 seconds so a connection would need to be no slower than around 0.5Mb in both directions (on current wu's at least)

    Internet is the least of the issues to feed it

    All along the watchtower the watchmen watch the eternal return.
