[humbug]

I'll probably be going for one of these at some point:

Especially if I end up cancelling my 290X pre-orders

Think i may just go for MSI HD 7990 6144MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with FREE GAMES instead i mean its £500 which is probably around the price of the x290 maybe even cheaper and its faster so why not.

How are MSI cards though or would it be better going for the HIS one.

MSI are one of the better partners on the nvidia side. I don't follow AMD so with HIS being red only, I'm not sure.

Laptop sold and now to decide between one of these or a 1440P screen....Decisions decisions. Cmon guys, help me out.

1440p all the way Greg,.son. It's nice having a new toy but in the last 4 year my Dell 27hm is my best buy by far. Its awful going back to a 1080p screen when I have to fix stuff for people as it seems so pixelated and cluttered. Besides the real estate,the clarity of games and the sharpness of them is eye-bleedingly good. I'm not saying Dell are the best option for you but the warranty is second to none

 

[oldestgregg]

And as Matt said,you have titans so other than benchmarks you wont even notice you bought something new

I myself thought about grabbing a 2560 res monitor as well, but not sure if I can come back down from 120Hz to 60Hz :/

Ahh i just noticed it doesnt have HDMI, I don't use the the DVI port. I suppose id have to use the mini display ports and buy 2 adapters since i have both my pc monitor and tv connected up. I guess that bumps the price up then lol.

120Hz would be very hard to move away from so nice to game on

Them korean IPS monitors can do 100hz and more at 2560.

You're not alone, I have given some thought to those Korean Delboy panels but the pixel policy/support/warranty is not something I can be happy with.

The below pretty much sums it up:

My biggest worry would be the amount of dead pixels.

 

[Angerer]

Forgot can't mention these monitors here so deleting my posts

 

[Marine-RX179]

You can buy pixel perfect panels but most arrive without any dead pixels.

It is a gamble importing but well worth it imo, arrived in 2 days with no tax to pay

How the hell you not received ransom letter from ParcelForce?
