Thanks for the info man! My monitor is having the exact same issue as this: http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1038135559&postcount=5 In fact mine also does the Self test for hours with no issues. I'll have to try this when I get it back from the service center that said it was a faulty LCD.

My Samsung 305T which just died after 4 years doesn't. So is the 3014 my only choice? After having a 30" 1600p monitor for about 6 years I can't go back whatsoever.

My question is how aggressive is the AG coating on the HP? I had a U3011 and a LG W3000H and the graininess of the coating made it unusable for me. I hear the screens might be the same for all of these but the coating applied could be different and lighter. Is that true?

Good Review. My question is, I have a 580 GTX SLI setup, is it worth upgrading the 680 GTX SLI. I use a 30" Monitor @ 2560X1600, no fancy Triple Display setup. Though I have 3D Vision also which I have maybe played for 5 hours in total in the 2 years I've had it.

Been an GTX580 SLI User since it's launch. I have my cards on Air now (Was Water cooled before). My clocks are 850/1700/2100 under MSI Afterburner. During BF3 My temps for Card one will go up to 87-88 at times, and the second card goes to 78. My Motherboard (P67A-UD7-B3) puts both cards...

You Keep showing P55 data. P67 is not P55. The PCIe Lanes are very different. They are bi-directional vs uni-directional and have increased in bandwidth. I believe the DMI has even gone from 5GT/s to 20 GT/s. P67 should perform better @ 8x than P55. and Should be on par @ x58. Just to give...

only for triple sli. not dual.

I'll say it again, I know nvidia is implementing this as well but seriously people hsould just buy a 2560X1600 30" monitor and put it infront of there face, thats enough screen real estate. Why would anyone want these bezels ?? Nice vid though. Thanks for it

I'm getting mine tomorrow.

My Main argument is simply that 3D is in, and after this year I believe quite a few homes will own a 3D ready TV. If you look at this link just posted from engadget, 3D won the show at CES. http://hd.engadget.com/2010/01/21/3d-stole-the-show-at-ces-2010/ Seeing as the PS3 is the Leading...

I got 3D vision bundle kit from NCIX with a GTX 260 card over the holidays for 550 CDN. After using it for a couple of weeks it's easy to say I LOVE IT. And when 3d Surround comes out, I will try that out, though I hate bezels. I find it funny that with a technology like eyefinity...

I think people really need to chill and wait on this. Wait for Xfire to work and for 5870x2's to come out. I've seen a eyefinity setup in person and the bezels did bother me. Landscape mode sucked other than Dirt and NFS Shift. And moving from landscape to portrait just to play a game is a pain...

There is no doubt that anyone saying this is crap is nothing but jealous. I, myself am just wondering about performance, I have 3 GTX 280's in Tri Sli and some games dont run at 50+ fps simply because of Video memory. Going even bigger res like 3 in Portrait (which btw is definitely the sweet...

Honestly I have a 30" Monitor and I am definitely thinking 3 X 24" in PORTRAIT mode. Landscape is stil a bit crippled to me with the XXXX x 1200. I hope they fix all the configurations on games to work with this mode. Until then the single monitor will suffice. But 3 of those samsungs...

With my setup it is, plus I find it a pain in the butt to put a tri sli bridge in, took me about 15 mins when I first did it, for some reasons my cards didnt line up. My 3 cards are under water so I'd rather not mosey around there. Thanks anyways. The only game im really losing performance...

Seems like a pain in the butt lol. Im not even sure I want to get the Nvidia 3d vision atm, It was really cool, but im scared of headaches and colors get very desaturated also. It just seems like a cool idea. Thankfully I was able to work batman arkham asylum @ 4Xaa and Physx @ high at 50-60...

Well I have a 30" Monitor and because of that I bought GTX 280 TRI SLI about a year ago, Ive loved the performance and now a couple Physx games later Im wondering if I can turn the 3 way sli setup to do 2 way SLI + make the other GPU do PHYSX. The other reason for htis is because Im going to be...

LOL, I dont post just to say my cards are still better...Maybe they are maybe they arent, thats a question for someone whos overclocked them to the max to tell me. I stated my clock rates. Anyways if your in the states, its usually better. Canada is always worse of than the States for...

Well the benchmark shown was with the CPU not OC'd, and well with Multi-GPU you really need that extra CPU power for the GPU's to scale properly, which is prob why the GTX 295 and 2 GTX 280's in SLI have the same exact score.

Nice read, but I have a hard time believing that a boost from 602 clock rate to 648 you got almost the same frames with Enthusiest from gamer and 2X aa, did you try these settings on the GTX 280 also? Reason I say this is - I dont see much of a different from 648 core on my gTX 280 and...

Tri-Sli gtx 280's or 285's. TBH 285's are a joke. You can get 280s for 375 while 285's in canada are going for 460. I have my 3 280's clocked at 756/1568/2484 with more room to go, but even this is overkill. 285's come stock at 648/14XX/24XX.

Welcome to the age of X58;) No need for nvidia chipset.

Not only that but, We dont know what CPU and settings hes using and also he is a mod who works for EVGA and well would be trying to sell the newest and greatest thing... For example I (yes, I do have 3 GTX 280's, you may think im biased haha) but going from penryn qx9650 @4.4 to i7 EE 965 @...

haha yeah its always easy to blame nvidia (trust me ive done it alot esp with my crap motherboard of a 790i) but its not the reason- the card is running on pcie and not PCI which has nothing to do with bandwidth. Ive heard it really just with SLI , CROSSFIRE and this card...Makes me angry- im...

Hi guys, ive had my x-fi titanium in my system for abou t2 months now, and ever since I have had nothing but crackling and popping- I read somewhere before that this was a known issue with SLI that lots of crackling happens but was supposed to be allievated with PCIE. This has def not happened...

For some reason, this hasnt come up really much but We're comparing Multi GPU's now alot, when going SLI or tri sli gtx 280's it seems I7's are beating the Penryn comparison, but no one is bringing up Overclocked chips? at all..... Penryn Overclocks like a dream, these I7' are known to...

Im really just worried about the PS, but yes Im very sensitive to the "sparkling effect" rather known as silk screen effect on rear projection TV's, it's something I just cant get over. Anyways I have no problems with the IQ with this screen, its more over the sound, even if it has a PS, it...

Hi guys, Just bought a Samsung 305T, so far the PQ has been really nice, I really dislike S-IPS SSE and SDE effects (silk screen effect/screen door effect) These are common in Rear Projection tv's and drive me mad. Anyways I decided to go with the 305t. After hooking everything up- the...

Ouch then, I just sold 3 of these for 600 bucks

If thats how you justify it lol. Also I dont mind Nvidia motherboards, Overclocking on the new 790is give just as much performance as x48s. Point being that its a GTX280 vs 4870x2, price has to account for something. No doubt peoeple should go for 4870x2 if they want a single card.

I would hope.

The problem here is, theres no point in buying 2 4870x2's as the drivers will never get as good as tri sli. Im sure many will say crossfire can beat SLI or vice versa which is very true. But Quad Fire and even Quad SLI sucks. Tri Sli is much better, and scales better also. As...

Well im going the Nvidia route, Thanks for your guys help, and for those who still believe in Time Demo's need a life. Canned benches do nothing for reviews. There good for comparing hardware that you have so you know what performance your getting. Ill be comparing crysis fly by because I...

this seems liek a gimmick lol

1) GTX280's failure rate is the same as any other video cardsa And all (newer) video cards run HOT. Thanks for flaming though. 2) If you want a single card- Go 4870X2. If you want Tri SLI go GTX280. (if you want SLI I would still go 4870x2) but TRI SLI GTX280 beats 2 4870x2's because games...

Was this a surprise? Games like fast integers and higher floating point integers. They like fast clock speeds and large memory caches. Nehelam will be great later on - Like Westmere die shrink. There is absolutely no reason to give up your penryn cpu and chipset to upgrade to nehalem...

^^ Well i mean its a good comparison, ATI may not have been that great with the intel skull trail but thats just because there comparing it to what it would be like on a X38 or X48 board. So many people dislike Nvidia boards so the comparison is kind of right. Its good because theres no...

Looks really nice but that crysis score aint that great is it? for having two of these? I dont know if its just because crysis and ati sucks but what about other games? I love the way the cards look though. On my 8800 ultra SLI system (qX9650 @ 4.0) I would get 32.74 with the same...

lol 780i also has 2 PCI2.0 and 1 1.0 Doesnt matter though, I realised that it doesnt even use that much bandwidth. As long as there x16 it should be fine. I do have a enermax with 3 PCIe 2.0 power connectors though :) thats whats important.

This intrigued me. I mean isnt the 790i (other than skull trail) the only board that enables tri sli? Most people that have gtx280's are runnin them on a 790i board am i correct? As far as I can see, There are no tri Sli configurations for 3 PciE 2.0 slots. And Driverheaven was using...
