Third GTX480 ?

[chriso132]

Do anywhere actually sell them anymore, i know we cant link competitors , but i just cant seem to find any at a decent price ?, im getting a 2560 x 1440 monitor and was thinking of upgrading my cards but i done a benchmark and my cards overclocked are the exact same as 580s so i dont see the point. Should i go for a third 480 for the higher res ?

Thanks

Just buy one Second hand if you're going to get one surely?

Also, a quick google showed some places still have a couple left new

The power drain and heat output of 3 GTX 480s is going to be on a rather epic and unmeasurable scale

Will save me using heating =P

You're going to be needing a 1250W PSU as a minimum, especially if overclocking.

With the heat and extra power needed, I'd just wait for the next gen to appear. And just run settings a little lower if needed at that resolution.

I take it you are not watercooling your cards also?
