iskout Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) I'm not just running a single monitor, though. I'm running 3 1080p monitors And I got it for $415... after the $150 gift card I got for Christmas from my family was applied.The monitor shown in the order history was a gift for someone that was using a 19" CRT from 1998.

ccokeman Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 PICTURE! This has been the longest "packaging" time I've ever felt in my entire life. Far and away the most expensive GPU I've ever bought. Seems a bit much for 1080p... As long as you don't care about the eye candy sure it is. People want what they want and this should be a nice combo for some long term enjoyment.

Good on you then, just was gonna say I'm running a 2560x1600 monitor with only a 7970 and gonna cry if you bought that beast for just one 1080P monitor which is child's play. PICTURE!

I'm just sore since I have a 2560x1600 run by just a 7970 lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iskout Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Honestly, my 770 is enough for a single 1080p, but I like to play Civ 5 at 5760x1080. The 770 just isn't quite enough to make it enjoyable at that res, even at lowest settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell even to start its not all that good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iskout Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 It shipped tonight. Oh, I cannot wait. Hopefully it'll be here just in time for my next day off (Tuesday) and I can get it thrown in and enjoy some ultra-high-res gaming.
