New rig ordered

Ja5onG · 9 Sep 2013 at 23:54

Just ordered an Ultima Extreme Env V2 today. May spec a different motherboard, haven't decided.

I know a self build may have been a bit cheaper but I was happy to pay the extra and have the fall back of a warranty.

Also ordered 3 screens aswell so I can run Iracing on a triple screen rig.

Excited much

Would a 780 be able to run 3x screens at decent settings? ;s

nice let us know how it goes for you? also considered one of these myself

I will go out on a limb and say yes the 780 is a monster of a card.

From what I've read and been told it should run what I want it to run at full detail settings and still pump out a silly amount of FPS.

Only thing I'd like to change is maybe the power pack on the build?

Might go down the liquid cooling route in the future

3 Screens @ Max settings, I'm not sure.
3GB VRAM may limit it slightly across the 3.

Fingers crossed it is, I'm going for that card on the advice that it would. I was of understandings with 3x27" monitors it would struggle. 3x24" monitors should be fine

Spoke to the lads at over lockers earlier, upgraded the motherboard to a Gigabite 787X-OC.

I assume you mean a Z87X-OC

It's a brilliant board (See my sig!)

Enjoy the new rig, sounds awesome. A 780 will be fine.

Thats the one.

Just need to get the racing rig ordered

That's a very nice system you've ordered, did you stick with 1 780 or did you get 2

Its not screen size that makes the gpu stress more.. Its the resolution.

Stuck with the one. If its not enough I'll have a rethink. But I've been assured by the overclocker boys it would be
