Re: Eyefinity setup under 80k-100k

Also another thing to mention here, you need very good CPU power to avoid bottlenecking of GPU, especially when two powerful cards like HD 7870 are paired in CF setting. Opt for a good CPU cooler like Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo and overclock the CPU to 4.5 to 4.6 GHz. It will reduce the chances of bottleneck.

The bezels drive me nuts. But then thats just me. Why not a single large 32 or 40 inch?

How about core i7 3770k or Amd fx 8350?
Why not asus mobo as they are little bit overclocking friendly?
Why not a single hd 7970?

Suggest me complete rig even ups and speakers. If total shoots over my budget ill talk with my father and will stretch the budget.

Yup not Belgium. Its Belguam Karnataka

Yes will definately overclock.
Is EYEFINITY worth it???

If your needs are only gaming then i7 has hardly any performance benefits over an i5.If you still feel the itch,get the i7,it's around 6k more.The gigabyte board is a good performer,Asus has some RMA issues as I have seen from people's experiences.If you want an Asus get an Asus p8z77-v pro for 16k.

A single 7970 won't give u the best fps in eyefinity,also 7950 is only around 5-10% slower than a 7970 which can be overcome via overclocking.Get a CPU cooler like the noctua nh-d14 which is the best air cooler,will cost around 5k.

Regarding ups get a 1.1Kva APC ups for 5k.A good 2.1 speakers will cost you around 2.5-3k.

So your looking at around 142k,time for you to decide.

Re: Eyefinity setup under 80k-100k

i7 will add another 16k to your cost(incl mobo), and 7870cf is a lot faster than one 7970, so cost would become ~120k, if you can pay it, then:

Intel i7 3770k @19k
Asus Z77 Sabertooth @17k
8GB(2x4GB) Gskill RipjawsX 1600mhz CL9 @3K
HD7870CFX OR HD7970 @32K
2TB WD Cavair Blue @6K
Asus DVDWR @ 1K
Corsair Carbide 400R @4K
Corsair TX750v2 @ 7K
3x Dell ST2240L @25K
Logtech G400+G105 @ 4k
APC 1.1KVA @5k
F&D A555U 2.1 @2.5k

Total~ 125k

If you want 5.1 channel speakers Sony SRS D9 @ 5k

And by far this will be the fastest rig money can buy ATM

I'd suggest to go with 7870CF, but there may be issues, like game scaling etc, so go with 7970 if you want a pure hassle free experience.

I will go with i7 only with single hd 7970.

As far as i7 goes im confused btwb these two....
Asus z77 Sabertooth or Asus P8Z77 v pro.
Corsair vengeance or G.Skill Ripjawsx.
Western digital or seagate barracuda.
Corsair 400r or 500r.

Rest all ill go with tkin's config.

I would say get a single big monitor and a single powerful GPU.

What type of single big monitor and a powerful GPU ull suggest. And any specific reason behind it?

Re: Eyefinity setup under 80k-100k

I will go with i7 only with single hd 7970.

A. Go with sabertooth, it has the best build quality and comes with 5 yrs warranty, its the only mobo in the world that comes with 5 yrs warranty, speaks volumes about its build quality.
B. Go with Either Vengeance or RipjawsX, but RipjawsX overclocks better, if you are not going to overclock RAM you can pick vengeance as well.
C. WD, always pick WD, seagate has 1 yrs warranty and has less reliability, on WD side go with either Caviar Blue(2yrs warranty) or Caviar Black(costs a bit more but comes with 5 yrs warranty unlike all other drives and are extremely fast and reliable)
D. Cabinet is your personal choice. whichever looks better to you, as you are getting a single 7970 you ca buy any cabinet as you wish, whatever your budget permits you.

Re: Eyefinity setup under 80k-100k

Theitdepot - Buy AOC 27inch Ultra Slim IPS LED Monitor (i2757fh) online in india
and a
Asus HD7970-DC2T-3GD5 Graphic Card

And if you still want a single big monitor get a 32/40 inch LED lit LCD panel from Samsung/Sony.

Thats how I like my game without bezels,but your choice can obviously differ from mine.

Re: Eyefinity setup under 80k-100k

hey if you are interested i can build your custom rig and ship it to you. I live in bangalore and here there are some gr8 deals on hardware. Do not buy online the prices are inflated. I have build my rig and saved huge sum buying stuff from local shops.

Re: Eyefinity setup under 80k-100k

Wont we ever suggest an SLI or Nvidia card ??!! its like we last suggested such setup in 1886 :'( they are not that bad...c'mon

AMD has quite a following in the forum... . Why does not anyone mention a 660 sli or even better a 660ti sli.... scaliing is better in SLI and microstuttering is less.
Also I read in some reviews (Linus tech tips etc) that the 660 ti sli has best efficiency when it comes to dual GPU's.

 

[The Incinerator]

Re: Eyefinity setup under 80k-100k

Yes 660Sli is the sweetspot in the entry level and the 660Ti in mid end, I completely agree to that over Ati CFs.

Re: Eyefinity setup under 80k-100k

Let me share an Ugly truth about Eyenifinity..

1). You can't just use eyenifinity with just any monitors.

Eyenifinity requires a monitor which should have Display Port & non of the Dell S Series Monitor have Display Port. Or get a GPU, which comes with a mini Display Port & buy an Active Mini Display Port to VGA Converter separately, which cost just above 4.5k in india.

Read this link for more information about the eyenifinity connectivity.

<What are the basic requirements for connecting multiple displays ?>

Connecting multiple monitors for AMD Eyefinity technology couldn’t be simpler. There are four easy rules to remember:

1). The first two monitors can connect to the graphics card with any display output on your product: HDMI, VGA, DVI or DisplayPort.
2). The third (or greater) display must be connected to the graphics card via DisplayPort.
3). If your monitor does not have a DisplayPort connection, you will need an inexpensive active DisplayPort adapter for it. DVI to DP adapters can be had for less than $30 USD.

4). Every family of GPUs supports a different maximum number of displays.

2). In case you never read about bezel compensation..read the below quoted from Eyenifinity FAQ itself.

In traditional multi-monitor setups, any piece of an object moving from one monitor to the next is simply chopped off and moved, regardless of how small that piece may be. For example, a small piece of a character’s armor might reach the edge of one display, resulting in the armor appearing to “jump” crudely to the next display.

*www.amd.com/PublishingImages/Public/Photograph_ProductShots/RGBJPEG/bezel_example_650W.jpg

This chopping may also cause objects to become misaligned as they pass between displays. That piece of armor on the next display may be positioned higher or lower than the player would expect it to be, and that effect can compromise the immersion of the game.

Bezel compensation remedies these issues by treating the plastic frame of your displays as an object that games and applications merely pass behind. The effect is subtle, but impressive: objects are no longer interrupted by the bezel, and remain aligned when passing from one display to the next.

For a Demo, have a look at this video

So what's the Bottomline ???

Its simple. Get yourself a Decent Config to play in 1080p resolution first. If not satisfied, get yourself into eyenifinity.

Re: Eyefinity setup under 80k-100k

Hi all....

Was out of station and came back yday....

So my new budget is 150k. I can add another 30k only when there is genuine need....

So any suggestion??
