Hmmm I hv budgeted around 2Lacs x 3 for da 4K monitors..... Moreover m getting the Asus PQ321Q from one of my contact's in Asus US for around USD$ 2850/- the challenge is its size which is 31.5 inch. Accommodating 3 of 32" monitors in my Muvi/VDO room will be an overkill and the room might look cramped as I need space to build a customised Home Cockpit solution around this setup...

Hence I was looking out for max 26-27", lemme know if you come across any... cost shouldn't be a big concern, although a single monitor shouldn't be 10K USD it has to be a realistic figure ;) ... If all fails I will end up buying 1080p :(

Thanks for your help...

P.S : If I end up buying the normal 1080p panels then probably I will buy 3 of them for less then the cost of 1 4K.... lol....

1. If you're thinking of three monitor setup or a 4k resolution, forget the 780ti.. the 3gb vram will be a bottleneck [Now look at point 4]

2.I know that triple screen monitor looks all cool, awesome and epic but trust me you'll get bored with it faster than you imagine..

3.If i were in your shoes now, i would buy a single 4k 31.5 inch screen which would be a huge dramatic upgrade even from three 1080p screens.

4. Actually there's no point buying 3 x 4k monitors because 2 x Titans can't even max games on a single 4k monitor..
If you're thinking of 3 x 4k Monitors you're looking for 6 x titan or something. Yes you will need a titan because it has 6gb vram to avoid throttling and bottlenecking of/by memory [Now look at point 2]

5. Another option is to get 3 x 1440p 27inch monitors , and again don't expect 2 x Titan to do wonders

Best is to get Big Single monitor



:lol::lol:

you mean titan 6gb ?
Click to expand...

No i mean 6 x Titan[6gb]
2 x Titan can't even get 60fps on BF3 Ultra on a single 4k , forget 3 x 4k with games like Crysis 3 lulz

According to benchmarks , to max out games on 3 x 1600p we need 4way Titan

lol.... quite interesting facts coming out this is why I simply love brainstorming on Forums.... :D

now looking at the practical angle of the overall solution... I have finally placed the order today and the rig will be delivered on Thursday...

At the outset, I have asked the supplier to deliver each and every component and I will manage the system assembly after 10 yrs though a lot has changed indeed :( ... (especially when I have support from so many fantaboulous and enthusiast group of newly found friends.... :) )

Here's the RIG which I have ordered at the moment, the only component that I have to confirm back is the CPU Cooler....

Ordered RIG and Final cost

i7 4960X (Sorry Ashish although you recommended 4930K, FSX been my prime focus... 4960X is a true power horse) - INR 67,500/-
Asus Rampage IV Extreme 64GB - INR 27,000/-
Cooler Master Cosmos II Ultra - INR 22,000/-
Seasonic Platinum Series - SS-1000XP - INR 16,000/-
G.Skills TridentX - 2400Mhz - 16GB - (4 x 4GB Quad Channel) - INR 16,000/-
Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 780Ti x 2 - INR 54,000/- x 2 = 108,000/-
Samsung 840Pro - 256GB SSD - INR 15,000/-
WD Black 1TB x 3 - INR 5000 x 3 = 15,000/-
Asus 16X BD (BW-16D1HT) - INR 6500/-
Cooler Master Eisberg Prestige 240L CPU Cooler - INR 13,200/- (I am not convinced with this CPU cooler, performance stats are not so WoW as compared to Swiftech H320 or Corsair H110i hence I asked him to put this on hold until tomorrow afternoon)

Total - INR 306,200/-
VAT - INR 16,841/-
----------------------------
Net - INR 323,041/-

Final Deal Closure Price - INR 310,000/- (Including the Eisberg Prestige 240L)

Now here's the final thing you guys gotta help me out with although cost is not a criteria, performance is (Considering the fact that I should be able to over clock at least 4.8 to 5GHz @ 1.35 to 1.4V ) :

Cooler Master Eisberg Prestige 240L - INR 13,200/- (Has provision for Cooling loop and future expansion)
or
Swiftech H320 - INR 12,899/- (Online Prime)
or
Corsair H110 - INR 8,499/- (Online MD)

My sincere thanks to everyone who helped me out with the decision making process and for sharing the valuable insights, without the help it wouldn't have been possible :)

I will upload the snaps once the Rig is delivered and assembled on Thursday...

----------

So Cooler Master, Corsair or Swiftech ????????

780Ti is faster compared to Titan (which is the fastest on paper) I did lots nd lots of research on this... spoke to one of my friend's cousin sister who coincidently happens to work for Nvidia in the Microprocessor RnD team... She said 780Ti eyes closed.. also post my discussion with her today evening I may drop my plans of even using a 4K monitor, no visible difference to a naked eye the 4k technology is yet to be evolved along with rest of the support component eco-system... she recommended using a 24" or a 27" 1080p Ultrasharp Dell IPS panel. So that's where m headed now as far as the monitor goes..

I need help on the CPU cooler desperately, need to confirm back before 2:00pm tomorrow... :(

I am sorry, i don't have much info about CPU coolers so don't want to give false advice on it.

IMO anything above 24'' should atleast be a 1440p
I think you should get 1440p or a 1600p screen, 1080p seems a shame for 780ti SLI [even 3 of em]

I highly suggest getting titan sli instead

Instead should have gone with R9 290X Uber setup. Not much difference compared to 780ti.

other thing, take a look at this: Meet the Most Powerful Z87 Motherboard on the Face of Earth: ASRock Z87 Extreme11/ac :shock:

Swiftech eyes wide shut.

Now your pc looks balanced finally except for the pCIe SSDor an SSD RAID 0 and a display from NEC.

Oh and the psu should be a Corsair AX1200i undoubtedly and why not?

I might buy Dell U2713HM or U2412HM, both of which are Ultrasharp A-IPS Panels with LED backlighting.

I would still prefer 780Ti as for the M/B goes Z87 is storage monster which supports upto 24 drives and most importantly it support only LGA1150 socket and does not support the i7 extreme series processors which are LGA2011 socket.

Even I am inclined towards Swiftech H320... lets see what others have to recommend..

Corsair AX1200i isn't available at the moment in India and has a wait time of 20 - 25 days as per corsair India...

Ultrasharp 27/24" display from Dell, coz of my after sales experience with Dell ;)

The point is you will never require a ass for NEC :) A rig like that without a NEC hmmmm...., if you can wait for that Corsair ,its super worth it.

Do you think anyone can wait for 20 - 25 days and they aren't 100% sure about it, last time their stock came in after 2.5 months .... I don't want to be in that situation :)

I ordered the Swiftech H320 cooler... order confirmed with prime... ;)

Corsair AX1200i - 24,000/- incl of shipping (5 - 6 days) they will call me back and confirm after re-checking with the distributor...

I can wait for 5 days should not be much of a challenge, anyways the monitors that I am planning to order U2713HM have a wait time of approx 7 days :(
