6700K and don't do triple CF. dual maybe but not triple

Hmm, thanks for the heads up. Though luckily we have 5 years warranty on mostly anything by law here

I agree, I can do nothing else than agree with you, 1 card >>>> multiple ones. Sadly one isnt usually enough for 60+ FPS in 4k Ultra settings. SLI comes with issues and thats how it is, though I cant say I have really noticed any, ever.. Been running 2 way CF or SLI for many many years now. Only thing is that it costs more and that some games doesnt support it.

I will however try with one card first, see how it fares.. Maybe even consider 6900k, for as you say.. future proofing.
 

Speaking for reviews, what is LTT doing these days?

Greetings,
 
First I hope the guys at Linus tech tips sees this, because it got me kinda hyped. Dell has annouced their new curved 21:9 U3415W on various sites here in Europe. I did try to check up dell.com and dell.ca, but couldn't find it listed as a product. Hopefully it will show up soon.
 
I checked stores over here in Europe as well and they have an ETA 10-15th of January 2015.
 
 
To me, 4K is still "dead" as a Windows 8.1 user, where text/applications etc. doesn't scale very well and hardware today can't really give you a enjoyable framerate in games at a reasonable price. Same with the monitors, a good 32" 4k IPS panel costs a fortune (I am no pro player or hardcore FPS player, so IPS is clearly the winner for me). And with 8K already announed, I am not sure if 4K will be just a short glimpse, as HD-ready/720P was.. Before Full-HD/1080P took over shortly after.
 
 
So I really agree with Linus that 21:9 is currently the most exciting monitor to go for right now. I was just a click or two away from buying 34UC97.. But as LG doesn't have PC monitors covered in my region, meaning if something were to happen to it if I had it imported.. Could lead to consequences for me. I know that LG got monitors covered in USA and Canada, but there are several countries in Europe they are not doing PC monitors. Dell has a much more global coverage here and I know Dell make good IPS/Photo enthusiast monitors (sRGB 99%) as I own a Dell U2711 and I've been loving it for 4-5 years now. It's a 2560x1440 monitor and I think it strikes a perfect balance of DPI and no need to scale as with 4K. And of course the huge advantage of cinematic aspect ratio in movies and games.. Though some games have problems with 21:9.
 
 
Dell U3415W is also $500-600 cheaper here in Norway, compared to LGs 34UC97. Also heard rumors that Dell will use the same panel in their U3415W as in 34UC97.. But rumors are rumors.
 
 
Would be great to have a rival or competitor against the 34UC97, as it is currently the only true challenger to LGs 34UC97. AOC also made a flat 34" 21:9, same panel as the 34UM95 and suffers the same light leakage as LG.
 
Hope you guys could try to check up with Dell, I am sure they have an engineering/test sample over there.. And what is better for them to give LGs 34UC97 some competition? though it's a small market for 21:9 (I think).
 
 
Thanks
