I need suggestions for a new graphics card ?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the inadequacy of quad SLI with four Nvidia 580 graphics cards for high-performance tasks. Despite the 580s being among the best cards available, the original poster seeks suggestions for upgrades, indicating that their current setup is no longer sufficient for their needs. Other participants express skepticism about the necessity for an upgrade, noting that even less powerful cards can handle demanding games like Skyrim at max settings. The conversation shifts to potential professional applications, such as CAD work, which may require more specialized graphics solutions. Recommendations for alternatives include high-end options like the Quadro 6000 and Firepro 9800 for those needing enhanced performance beyond gaming capabilities. The discussion also touches on the viability of developing games that cannot run on existing high-end hardware, questioning the business sense behind such decisions.

I've got four nvidia 580s runnIng in quad SLI, but they are just not cutting it for me anymore speed wise. Any suggestions? Money is not an issue.
 
Computer science news on Phys.org
the 580's are the best cards available on the market right now. what are you doing that quad SLI is not good enough anymore?
 
ugh, this must be a joke. there isn't a game out there or will be out this year that you can't run max settings. I'm running Skyrim on a GTX 560 with max settings and no problems.
 
well let's not judge the lad too harshly. maybe he's doing some heavy duty CAD stuff that 3d gaming cards aren't good at. let's see if we can get a few more details about what's going on.
 
I need suggestions for a new graphics card...?

This is a really good source of information. Gives you a review of cards organized by price.
 
Are there software developers that are willing to shoot themselves in the foot by putting out games that can't run on current high-end hardware? Seems not to be a good business model to me.
 
I would love to know what you are doing that 4x580s can't handle... it can't be gaming
