    4k resolution on 660 ti sli? good idea / bad idea?

    Now I'm confused again. So it *might* work and only be 5~10% worse than an 8x8x, but its not officially supported so it might not work? :confused:

    4k resolution on 660 ti sli? good idea / bad idea?

    You have successfully talked me out of 4k, at least for the next few years. Quad titans is a bit too rich for my blood. And by pointing out that my motherboard can't do SLI, saved me $300. I will probably wait until the release of BF4 and once I see how horribly my system performs do a more...

    4k resolution on 660 ti sli? good idea / bad idea?

    Another $30 is a pretty good savings, but the g.skill is a bit slower is the drop off from DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz to DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) going to impact me much?

    [Noob] first real build / upgrade

    Thanks for the advice, it gets hot here 90+ degrees quite often, but my house will be air conditioned during operation of the PC, so room temp will likely be 74-76 I think I can safely downgrade the fan to a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233103 for half the price...
