What Spec is my system....

[962LM]

I'm looking to upgrade my system with the adition of a new graphics card/cards for a triple screen setup to satisfy my 'iracing' needs but i cant remember what spec my system apart from the description......

I bought it in May 2010 but all i know is the details below:

"Ultima Vanquish" Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz @ 4.00GHz Quad Core DDR3 Crossfire Option System


Can anyone help and tell me what spec my box is?

Any recommendations for specific graphics card or system upgrades

Regards

Don't you have the receipt?

 

[Zero Pope]

Is it this one?

 

[962LM]

no i think its later than that, cheers for trying though (based on processor clock speed and chip quoted on the link)

I did have the reciept but i 'stored it in a safe place' and now i can't find it which is frustrating.

This was a long shot anyway on the off chance someone had the same setup.

The motivation behind this query is im looking at possible triple screen Graphics Cards combinations for use on 'iRacing'

Does anybody have any recommendations?

I think thats it Zero Pope cheers for your help

Any recommendations for possible upgrades to support triple screens?

Ive been out of the loop 2 years since i bought it and need to play catch up on the tech front

 

[Bacon?]

What graphics card did you buy it with? Are there 3 connections for monitors on your current card.

 

[962LM]

Card is ATI 6950/6970??? and it has the DVI out and the Display Port out as well. I thin its the one quoted above tbh. I bought it as standard spec with no techinical upgrades

When i ordered it i remember i had the option to Crossfire the system but i didnt have the funds at the time to do that as well

 

[Bacon?]

Crossfire then would be the easiest option. Just remember you need to crossfire the same reference card.

 

[962LM]

i figured that, so you think i should just get another card to the same spec and then i should be good to go?

You dont recommend any other upgrades aside from getting screens Display Ports?

Cheers for your help guys anyway its appreciated

 

[962LM]

actually i think the ATI 6950/6970 was released after i bought my system in May 2010. I might have ATI 5950/5970 installed???

Poss 5850/5870 based on this....it gets worse!

 

[Bacon?]

If its one of those cards I would look at getting a 670, do you want to you a triple monitor setup?

 

[962LM]

yeah if you could i would appreciate it....no need to go mad, just something suitable for triple screens on iRacing, i dont use my setup for anything else its a dedicated race rig

 

[Bacon?]

A 670 can do triple screen with one GPU no problem, as long as its powerful enough.
This would be a good card for the price.

It has 2 DVI, 1 HDMI and 1 DisplayPort.

 

[962LM]

Sweet cheers for your help

I assume the rest of my system is ok then?

 

[Bacon?]

Its slowly getting a bit dates but it should be fine for a couple more years hopefully.

 

[962LM]
