    Suggestions for video card for playing games on TS140 please

    Hi all, I have a well specced gaming rig in my office (in the attic) but I also have a Lenovo TS140 Thinkserver that currently just runs Windows 10 and serves movies via Plex. I am planning to move this to the dining room so my OH can use it to surf the net etc... However, I would like to play...

    Benq BL3200PT (32" 1440p)

    Took delivery of 2 BL3200PT's - Both are perfect. No dead or bright pixels. No vertical banding (at least none that I notice) - No flashing issue. Mfg date is Jan 2015 and they were supplied by Amazon UK. Pretty awesome monitors and the BenQ DisplayPilot software is cool (if a little...

    will my 980 do Ok at 2560x1600

    There are a few off white pixels and they aren't noticeable like you say banabooey. But there is one jet black one right in the middle horizontally and a few centimetres from the top. Really annoying. The cards I ended up with Mr mean are evga 980 superclocked and they seem great.

    will my 980 do Ok at 2560x1600

    Thanks for all the advice and tips guys :) Everything is installed and running super smooth. The U3014 has one dead pixel unfortunately - It was second hand and the seller has kindly given me the option of returning it. If I do, then my only options really are to purchase a new U3014...

    will my 980 do Ok at 2560x1600

    I decided to go with the U3014 and ordered a second EVGA 980GTX SC anyway just to make sure :) Hopefully the 2 980's in SLI will keep me going for a while!

    will my 980 do Ok at 2560x1600

    I was look at either a HP ZR30w or a Dell U3014 - both second hand but in perfect condition. The other I was look at (brand new) is a : BenQ BL3200PT I currently have a Dell 2709W.

    So are you saying Araxie that I will notice a real world FPS difference if I move to the higher resolution monitor or that I won't ?

    will my 980 do Ok at 2560x1600

    Hi. My rig is a 5820k oc'd to 4.2ghz with 16gb ram, 1tb ssd and 980gtx (evga sc). At the moment I game at 1920x1200 at ultra/Max with great fps but have been offered a new monitor that runs at 2560x1600 (16:10). Just wondered what will happen to my fps if I move to this resolution (or even...

    Are my temps correct ?

    That's great to know - cheers :) I thought it was OK as I run Crysis 3 at 1920x1200 on max settings and the temps only sort of break 50's. (EVGA gtx-980SC and 16Gb DDR4 Corsair Vengance)

    Help with HDD choice for gaming.

    Good points :) However, I have just thought of another scenario : I don't really need a secondary drive inside the PC for archiving - I have a 4tb external usb3/esata drive for that. So, perhaps I could NOT put any secondary drive in and, instead, get rid of the Samsung 512Gb 850 Evo...
