Titan or Dual GFX+Eyefinity Monitor Bundle?

What would you buy?

One of these:

OR

This bundle:

YOUR BASKET
2 x Sapphire HD 7950 Boost 3072MB PCI-Express Graphics Card (11196-19-20G) with Crysis 3 & Bioshock PC Games £251.99 (£503.98)
3 x Iiyama Prolite E2382HSD 23" Widescreen LED Monitor - Black £129.95 (£389.85)
Total : £893.82

Sell the game codes and it becomes more or less the same price?

Or get the Titan?

Would be good if a mod could turn it into a poll.

That is really tempting!!!

Space wise, I dont have room for 3 monitors, would prob be the card. Saying that, you'd need a decent monitor to use it on even it you can use the monitor overclock feature.

Titan

I have 3 27" 3D monitors with Nvidia 3DVision 2 built into them.

I wouldn't want to run a £1000 gaming pc on a £100 monitor.

I would get the crossfire 7950 and keep the change.

Tommy god damn you answer my email. You can't say what you did then not respond mofo. Don't make me send the boys round. (and by boys i mean Greg+Rusty loved up on Titan Viagra)

EDIT

Lol damn how did i fall for that.

tommybhoy · 20 Feb 2013 at 15:55

Greg, I should have put you, Kap and Neil down as titan 3-0 up in the op.

I'd up my budget a bit and buy 3 of those Korean monitors to go with 2x 7950s.

Well, I did but the other way around.

This is what i'd be ordering if i had the money for a Titan.

I'd be selling the games as well to recoup some money.

EDIT

I'd also wait till the monitor went back on offer at £299.

EDIT 2

You can also subtract shipping from that.

The eyefinity bundle all day. Would give me more gpu grunt than titan and 3 monitors. If i already had 3 monitors then i would buy 3 7950's which would give me a more powerful machine than titan and still save money.

My Korean monitors were like £170/180 each.

Count yourself lucky i didn't reply in time, cos if i had chance to quote that there would have been no going back.

straxusii · 21 Feb 2013 at 15:56

Out of the 2 options Titan, only because I wouldn't go multi GPU however buying a new card now I would go for stock non ghz 7970 and clock it.

As posted in the other thread you cross posted in:

You also get the associated stutter, multi GPU issues and three cheap monitors......

It's all relative.

My monitors cost more than some peoples ENTIRE rig. My sound card costs more than some people monitors and my headphones cost more than most peoples GPUs. When I do upgrades it's all relative, a Titan in my system at £800 is much better than chucking three crappy monitors and 2 mid range GPUs in Crossfire on what I already have.

It's a loaded question. Why compare budget options with the absolute high end one?

The 7950 is a mid range GPu that is 10% slower than the second fastest single GPU on the planet which was #1 until the Titan arrived?. OK then. What GPU or GPUs do you have?.

Fair enough on the screens, I wouldn't either but talking about your headphones being more expensive than x amount of peoples GPUs seems like an up yourself kind of comment as the GPU's you mention are not that mediocre as you make out. Unless you've got two Titans, you're delusional.
