BassTech Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) With graphics cards, always stretch your money to get the best you can afford - otherwise when the framerate starts dropping you'll miss that extra % Go on - treat yourself Edited June 18, 2013 by BassTech
mac_shinobi Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I would be checking toms hardware to compare the 690 vs 780 vs Titan and also possibly be looking at the AMD offering ie 7990 etc ?
pcstru Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 In the end then, I went over budget and plumped for a Zotac 780 to drive the 3 dell 24in 1920x1200 monitors. The first monitor arrived on wed and I was in a bit of a dilema - it seemed very small compared to the 28in Hans-G, I wondered if I was going down the wrong road. I gritted my teeth and ordered the rest of the kit which was all scheduled to arrive today so I've taken a 1/2 day to play with my new toys. The worries about the size evaporated - 3 24in side by side is just huge - you just sort of fall into it all. So far I've just turned a few laps on iRacing but the experience with the wide field of view is excellent ... dare I say awesome. The 780 seems to cope easily; 5760x1200 with all the eye candy turned up shows 90fps. Obvioulsy I'll the ultimate test is yet to come - how will it cope with minesweeper. Thanks again for the contributions.
sonofsanta Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 The more important question, that all of us need to know for our own sake: how did you ever persuade your wife to let you do this?
