    4k Gaming with GTX 690 - Do I need to upgrade now?

    I will be using the PC for a year or less so I think I will wait for the 980Ti and just suffer with either lower res or lower settings till then.

    4k Gaming with GTX 690 - Do I need to upgrade now?

    I was just looking at prices and I can grab two EVGA overclocked GTX 970's for $800 and they are in stock. The Titan is backordered and will cost $1k. Two 980's will be $1100 or $1200. I am only keeping the PC for another year so I wasn't sure the boost to 980 SLI over 970 SLI would be worth...

    4k Gaming with GTX 690 - Do I need to upgrade now?

    So which of these solutions would be best for 4k: 1. GTX 970 SLI 2. Titan X 3. GTX 980Ti (If I can wait that long)

    4k Gaming with GTX 690 - Do I need to upgrade now?

    I am trying to keep the daughter from being buried in debt. Some is good but not too much. Since I need to wait and see what her room and board will be I can wait for the cut down TitanX. The card will only be used by me for a year afterall. The Del P2715Q is an IPS panel so it won't go...

    4k Gaming with GTX 690 - Do I need to upgrade now?

    I have never sold a video card. I usually just get a whole new rig and hand the old one over to my daughter as is. I looked quickly yesterday and didn't see any Titan X's for sale - all were backordered. If I decide to not wait I will probably go Titan X for now and a completely new rig...

    4k Gaming with GTX 690 - Do I need to upgrade now?

    My previous monitor was 1440p. I figured if I was going to buy a new one I would go up a step to 4k. I also do some CAD and photo work so I wanted the pixels and the IPS colors / viewing angle. At $600 I couldn't pass it up. Present games are ESO, Civ, Dragon Age Inquisition, Borderlands...

    4k Gaming with GTX 690 - Do I need to upgrade now?

    My Korean monitor just died so I grabbed a Dell P2715Q 4k monitor. My current video card is a GTX690. I was planning on building a new rig next year when the next iteration of chips from nVidia and Intel arrive. For now it looks like my choices are: 1. Keep my single GTX690 2. Add a...

    Crossover 27Q LED-P monitor dead - repair or replace?

    The higher refresh rates would be nice though I have never been bothered by the 60 Hz on the Crossover. The Dell is running $600 at NewEgg at present so trying to justify the price of the Overlord PCB in a 3 yr old monitor is tough

    Crossover 27Q LED-P monitor dead - repair or replace?

    The Overlord PCB set looks nice but quite a bit more than the $45 plus shipping I saw replacement PCB's going for on eBay. Unfortunately the one I saw on eBay was sold the day before the monitor died. It looks like the seller puts up two a month so hopefully two more will show up in April. I...

    Crossover 27Q LED-P monitor dead - repair or replace?

    My Crossover 27Q LED-P monitor just died after almost 3 years. The brightness was flickering / changing in intensity. Then it went black. Changing connectors on the video card brought it back for a while as did turning it off for a while and then turning it back on. Today however none of those...

    Looking for 16x10 monitor recommendations

    Thanks for the replies. The 1200+ vertical is more important than the 16:10. I just don't want to give up any vertical resolution. I am a little leery about these Korean panels. I haven't had a chance to go through the linked threads yet (thanks for the links). I was starting to lean...

    Looking for 16x10 monitor recommendations

    After 14 years I have decided it is time get rid of my trusty CRT. It still looks good but I want more real estate. My current monitor is a Hitachi CM751 which I run at 1600x1200. I want to at least maintain the 1200 vertical resolution. I have a wall mounted Sony TV setup as my second...

    Quad Core or Not

    Ok I am getting ready to build a new high-end system. Primary use will be gaming though I will do some image editing, web design adn CAD work as well. The big question is whether I go dual (E6600) or quad core (QX6700)? I know at present games are not utilizing the extra cores but I would like...

    Building New Gaming PC - Opnions Please

    I don't really have a budget. AS a for a monitor I am space constrained unless I modify my PC desk which I don't wnat to do right now. Maybe in the Summer but not now. The spot where my monito goes is only 20.5" wide so I can't fit in a 24" widescreen and I don't see any reason to upgrade...
