    gtx 260, e8500, and triple monitors: should I upgrade gpu or rebuild?

    Thanks scbesterman, hypersli looks interesting. Even though I only game moderately, the experience of 7680x1440 is just too tempting. I need to decide on either the 3820 or 3930k by tomorrow, so I'll have everything by Thurs when the titan arrives. I was considering buying the 3820 now and...

    gtx 260, e8500, and triple monitors: should I upgrade gpu or rebuild?

    haha ya, I'm getting the ax1200i to power it all (Corsair Link looks sick if it's not gimmicky). I agree the future benefits of the 3930k are enticing. I was wondering more if the 3930k is overkill or completely necessary.

    gtx 260, e8500, and triple monitors: should I upgrade gpu or rebuild?

    So I decided to go with the sli titan setup. I've got one in the mail and one in the chamber when they get back in stock. Will the i7 3820 bottleneck sli titans (potentially tri sli sometime in the future) for 7680x1440? If I can squeeze by with an oc'd 3820, I can put the $300 saved by not...

    gtx 260, e8500, and triple monitors: should I upgrade gpu or rebuild?

    I agree that upgrading incrementally is better than waiting 1+ years for the 800s. However, the upgrade path isn't clear to me. Anonmoniker stated in another post that he often goes past 3gb vram while gaming at 7680x1600. It seems that building up to tri-SLI 780s would paint me into an...

    gtx 260, e8500, and triple monitors: should I upgrade gpu or rebuild?

    I'd prefer not to go above $2800. As I need a full rebuild and it's been such a long time since my last upgrade, I'm going to have some fun and not be too frugal. The main focus would be supporting 7680x1440.

    gtx 260, e8500, and triple monitors: should I upgrade gpu or rebuild?

    Without a doubt the best solution... just not feasible for me at this time.

    gtx 260, e8500, and triple monitors: should I upgrade gpu or rebuild?

    Thanks snypa2k3, that's exactly what I needed to know, no 660 ti for me (or even a 560 ti boost prob). To sabregen and others that think I should upgrade: Do you think an x79 board with 3-way 4gb 770s could handle 7680x1440 resolution? $3k in titans isn't reality for me, and the 780s being...

    gtx 260, e8500, and triple monitors: should I upgrade gpu or rebuild?

    My only issue in going with mid-range gpus (660TI, 7950) is that I want my next build to grow into the monitors I have now and fully support 7680x1440 gaming (I should've stated this in my initial post). I can't recycle a mid-range gpu I buy now to tide me over. I'm not confident that anything...

    gtx 260, e8500, and triple monitors: should I upgrade gpu or rebuild?

    Thank you for the replies. My motherboard is a p5q-deluxe, so no sli for me. I would be gaming at 2560x1440 if it's possible with my new card. I agree that my current setup isn't going to cut it graphically no matter what gpu I get. What I'm really looking for is a gpu that will give me my...

    gtx 260, e8500, and triple monitors: should I upgrade gpu or rebuild?

    Hi All, I bought three dell u2713 monitors a month ago and am tired of only being able to power two of them with my current gtx 260. I game casually and would also like to get a graphics improvement besides being able to use all three monitors. Would purchasing a gtx 650 ti boost and...
