    Nixeus Vue 30"

    Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I've found new developments. And this thread shows up in Google searches. I recently sent this message to Nixeus asking about their 30". And this this what I received back a few minutes ago. Looks like the only thing setting the U3014 apart from the field...

    Crossfire 7970 DirectCU II and 7970 OC - Specify Default Card?

    Nope. I found that the screen numbers in Windows/CCC are the order in which you connected them while powered on. The natural order seems to be #1 is the right-most DP, #4 is the left-most DP, #5 and #6 are DVI, but no idea in which order, since I only use one of them. If you want to...

    Crossfire 7970 DirectCU II and 7970 OC - Specify Default Card?

    Hooked up and running. Set up as above exactly. Sapphire Dual-X 7970 in the top slot -- Idle 48-49C -- 100% load 73C AUSUS DIRECTCU II 7970 in the middle slot -- Idle 40C -- 100% load 96-97C 24C ambient. FurMark, full screen, 6000x1920, no AA. Odd to me that the ASUS card is getting more...

    Crossfire 7970 DirectCU II and 7970 OC - Specify Default Card?

    Yep, that's what I was planning on doing. However, my monitors have DVI and DisplayPort. Since I'm using the 4xDP and 1xDVI on the first five (DVI on the far right monitor), I'll just hook up a DVI from the top card to the center monitor, so it'll have both connections. Thanks!

    Crossfire 7970 DirectCU II and 7970 OC - Specify Default Card?

    Recently built a new rig and am running 5x1 Portrait Eyefinity (6000x1920) on a single 7970 DirectCU II. This triple-width card is a beast! Quiet, cool, and sexy. I ordered it specifically because I could push this 5x1 Eyefinity setup. Unfortunately, it turns out I like eyecandy more than I...

    Yeah, you missed Post #16. Two computers. Gotta keep the wife's up to date as well. No worries man. I skim too.

    Oh. Well. I'll save it then. I'm sure I'll need to re-seat sooner rather than later.

    Alright guys. Pulled the trigger last night. Why fuss over a locked-in build spec for weeks on end when I can have it here and playing with it by the weekend? Build follows closely to what we spoke of here. 6x Dell U2412M 1920x1200 IPS 1x CM Master Storm Trooper Full Tower (for hand-me-downs...

    Yuck. I'll check out nVidia cards again next build, but this time, I'll stick with ATI cards. If I were to go LGA1155, is there a less expensive setup than this that is still beneficial, or is this as low as makes sense? Still looking for feedback on this one. If we can lock in which...

    Had planned on one 7970 now, and a second 7970 in a few months when I up it to 5x1. Not sure 5x1 would be wise on a CF'd 7950's. Indeed, have a PSU already. The CM part he mentioned is a CPU cooler.

    Pretty much right now. I was hoping for one instance across 3 screens at High settings, the other 4-5 instances are just dumb clients and require less than WoW if tuned all the way down. The game I play right now dosen't allow key cloning software, so most of those clients time are just on...

    I'll drop this $410 Sapphire GHZ edition for this $400 Gigabyte OC edition if you think it's a better deal (would lose 1 DVI port). The $395 XFX Black Edition is a contender, as is the $410 ASUS Direct CU II, though it's a triple-width card.

    Yea, was my bad. I clicked the NewZon version. -.- I am. It's silly that I'm paranoid, but it's really frustrating to take my systems down, pull sticks for testing, call for RMA, pack, ship, wait, receive, re-test, and install... just to repeat the cycle two weeks later. If I have to spent $20...

    The Thermalright True Spirit 120 for $40 (linked above) looks like a decent deal. However, it led me right to the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, which is $7 cheaper and better cooling performance in testing and includes the bolt-through kit for free. :D The 4670k looks like a champ for gaming...

    As far as the Crucial Ballistix you linked, I'm seeing $56 per on the linked page, not $47. That puts them at $112 per set, or $18 less per build. That said, these last builds had 4x2gb Crucial Ballistix each, and I have had to put in no less than 6 RMAs over their lifespan because of failures...
