Only in UE3 and SC2.
Also, that test was cool.
Did it on my S23A750d, averaged 217ms. Did it on my BenQ XL2420T and averaged 193.

Averaged 280 on my Kuro... need to hook up the CRT again to see if there's any diff...
Nice.
I wish I wasn't such a slave to graphics. IMO the 144hz definitely gives you the best GAMEPLAY. And that should matter more than resolution. I'm such a graphics whore though. =/

Checked this out, not too bad but I think you made a much better choice with the SM5. The way the window is attached on the the outside of the V750WX kills the case for me. I do like the aspect ratio of the case though, which is why I was looking quite hard at the MH10 Caselabs. But I will most likely be waiting on the mATX Mercury, or maybe jump in on the mini ITX ver (S3) that's coming out soon.
In Titan news, I've tried calling all local distributors to no avail. From what they tell me chances are I might be able to get one early next month at a price hike of $1.2K+. Most likely will be swapping out my GTX 690 for a single Titan... still undecided if I'll go the SLI route with this.

Haha, I'll also have to mod that Lian Li logo as well, pokes my eyes out ;-)
Anyway very impressed with the mid tower and smaller Caselabs series, when I first looked at them all I saw were huge watercooling boxes; thanks for the tip!

will intels next generation chipset get rid of USB 2.0? Since USB 3.0 is backwards compatible I don't know why USB 2.0 hasn't been faded out already
3D gaming is pretty cool if you've got the hardware to push it. As far as the monitors go...I am typing this on a Dell U3011 after using a triple-monitor 120hz setup for most of the week. Every time I go back to the U3011 from my 120hz panels I'm always taken back by how good the colors look on the IPS display. For me it doesn't take too long to adjust back to the 60hz refresh rate either, although obviously it feels more sluggish than a 120hz panel.
So I'm of the opinion that if you play a lot of multiplayer FPS or other games that require a decent amount of timing, then go with the 120hz monitor. If you are a graphics whore stick with your 16:10 monitor. Crysis 3 at Very High on the IPS panel looks insane. I average 25 fps though. Hopefully I can at least double that with the SLI Titans this week.

Dude didn't you cancel one of the Titans? Well, let me know if one them them doesn't work out for ya ;-]
I did, but then I re-preorderd the Asus from NewEgg. I'd prefer to have both GPUs be EVGA, but since they're both reference boards it doesn't really matter. Warranty would be the obvious difference between the two.

Nice! With as many monitors you have, you need at least 2 I think!
What the fuck is going on in the OP? It looks like the Titan is getting beaten by 400 dollar cards, and something vague and super nerdy about some new benchmarking paradigm or some shit? I don't know what any of this means...
edit: nm, i was misreading "beyond" with the benchmarks

Yeah, I'm just going to stick to 1600p IPS. I agree, I've swapped between a 1080p monitor before, and the resolution and color jump is pretty big.
I guess it's a good thing I'm SLIng these Titans.
It's something that requires intellect.
(Lower is better)
Oh?

It's cheaper.
I'm getting one via UPS tomorrow...but I head out for a few days so I'm not going to have much time to play with anything until NEXT weekend. Blargh.
Unattended cards a mere 8 hour drive away? Hmmmm

It's a sickness.
He'd have to brave the frozen wastes of Canada to catch me.
Course the heat signature from the cards would be rather easy to find so there goes the mission
You and Sk3tch have too much money.
When you get yours please post what frames you get with Crysis 3 at max with AA.
Max AA, are we talking the superior SMAA or the outdated and useless MSAA? But I will.

By having a job?
I love how Lime just randomly drops into the thread 44 pages in and adds nothing to the discussion.
I guess if you're young, don't have many expenses, live in a low-taxation country and prioritize $1000 over many other aspects of life, the amount might not seem much to you.
Relax, I didn't want to shit on the discussion, just trying to understand how someone could afford/justify the price. But I'll leave again if my posting is unwanted and you think that my questioning "adds nothing to the discussion".

why is it $1000 btw? Is it that much better than a 690?
What if I'm young, have lots of expenses, live in the highest taxed country on earth and yet still want to spend $1000 on my hobby which is chump change compared to what people spend on hobbies? Why do you even care, why are you starting that inane discussion for the 50th time in this thread?
That right there, beautiful.
Lets not get all bent out of shape.
Lime is a good poster and it IS a lot of money to spend on a hobby. We all have different pain thresholds, no harm in that.
Sethos and Sk3tch, congrats on your Titanic purchases. Please post impressions - especially the SLI performance.
Still undecided myself.

A single GPU that delivers performance almost on par with that of the 690, which is essentially two cards and therefore saddled with the shortcomings of a multi-GPU setup.
.
But yeah, I realize that my question was unwelcome, so I'll leave it at that and I hope you all enjoy your fine GPUs once you get them.
You are of course also welcome to tell me how one makes as much money as yourself

It's not the question, it's the way those questions are often asked: "how can people justify/afford it".
Then someone tries and explain, and has to read "well if you're young, taxes, priorities, whatever". It's judgemental and discriminating from the get go.
A Titan is a tiny fraction of my annual income, so why not? Still debating whether to bite or not.

that's not enthusiast territory anymore these days
enthusiast means 120 Hz or 1440p ... that's Titan or dual GPU pretty much
That's just high end.
Enthusiast in general means what the word was defined as and in general to me implies you're more than just an average consumer wanting bare bone or standardized things.
120hz is nothing new, I guess if you're just getting in to gaming and use a lcd primarily for 3d it can be. If you were on crt back in the day and really wanted to pimp having hi res running it 85-160hz with matching fps was usually how you bragged about your machine.
1440p is nothing either unless that is single monitor, even then I argue 1600p is easily becoming a favorite. Triple and dual screens are defined more by the horizontal extremes vs the verticals. Benchmarks are your friend
I love that kind of performance but it's not really necessary anymore than high end arcade cabinets are for me. Maybe at the end of this next generation I can spoil myself if the performance is there.
I'll give someone $400 for 2 680s.
What's your address?
Er, I didn't mean to suggest you don't add anything to discussions, or should stay out of the thread.
I guess I didn't see how your original post was a question, or was of the intent of seeking understanding. It read more like a hit and run statement: How anyone is able to afford or justify forking over $1000 for this GPU is beyond me.
It's pretty common for people to criticize others for spending this kind of money on high end PC equipment. It happens quite often actually. So your post just read like another one of those. I find it bizarre why people care so much, how others spend their money. Or try to define what something is worth to another person. But if you were just legitimately asking why people do this, or how they justify the spending. I would just say - it's like any passion/hobby. I see people spending 10 grand on audio equipment, because they love music that much. It might be a lot of money, and seem insane. But it's what gives them joy and pleasure. Similarly, people spend this kind of money on graphics, because they love pushing their rigs to the edge, and getting the best performance you can get in gaming and graphics.
It might not be justifiable to most people, but for those that have jobs, and have the extra money to spend, it's worth it to them.
Just me though.
Why do people spend $60k on a car when you can get a nice one for $15k? All in all, it's really not that crazy to spend $1k on a hobby. People spend a lot more than that on other types of hobbies.
Some people are in different financial situations? I think it's kind of disingenuous to assume that a person that buys these kind of parts are: I. Young. II. Have no responsibilities. III. Have no priorities, or prioritize their hobby above other more important things.
Why can't someone be older, have responsibilities, and spend their money on other things firs - but also have extra money to spend on their hobby?
