  1. Aslong as you can keep the card cool, the further it will keep overclocking itself :0 That look like a beefy cooler on it. That backplate looks awesome!(nerd moment)
  2. With a mATX motherboard you got there i would recommend the corsair 350d with the window. It will be able to support the H100i that you plan to use to cool your 4770k(good luck). You may want to get a lower watt PSU if your only running a single GPU setup. Your system will probably pull max 500-550W from the wall, if that.
  3. No, It will be 2GB of effective VRAM, SLI doesnt add up the VRAM into 1 giant pool of it. It splits it in half and that becomes your effective VRAM. That typically why people get the 4GB VRAM versions because 2GB of VRAM is a bottleneck beyond 1080p. Also, are you gonna be running your cards with air or under water.
  4. Two 4GB 670s will beat the 780s in pure power. However, do remember, it uses SLI. With SLI, not all games scale well, some scale well, some don't scale at all, and in rare cases it can even inhibit the frame rate you get. Personally, I would always go with a 1 GPU setup as SLI is not always consistent with how it scales with every game.
  5. Also not to mention the current micro-stuttering issues it has with frame rating.
  6. You have the features like shadow play and such, I do like to able to set your cards limit from its temperature as apposed to the power draw from it, which should have always been how its done.
  7. You may want to change your cooling solution, Haswell has a nuclear reactor running in it's core.
  8. Personally, i would get the 780, you do get the new features that come with the new 700 series of cards, but dual 670 4GB cards are awesome too.
  9. A 2GB 680 plays BF3 at 2560x1600 at 44 FPS. If you can kind of guess the performance increase you get from 680->780 you shuold be able to play beyond 40 fps at the resolution you want, do realize with that resolution you probably wont need AA.
  10. Personally, I would go for a 780 now and maybe get another later, the TITAN will never be worth it. Unless you truly can utilizes its 6GB of VRAM. But, the 780 should be able to run the resolution you want on ULTRA settings with the games you listed at the frame rate you requested.
  11. This is not possible, when you enable SLI or Xfire, the primary card is the only one able to display information to your monitors. As for part 2 of your statement, With higher resolutions, even at idle, you will see the GPU run hotter and at a higher idle clock speed.
  12. DONT get a 690, it only has a 2gb frame buffer, which WONT be able to handle the resolution you want to game at. Highly recommend 780 for your setup or the titan if you are worried about not having enough VRAM.
  13. Definitely go for the 780, and maybe even get another later, as your PSU can handle 2 GPUs. Don't go for the 690. It has an effective 2GB frame buffer which is kind of sad for a $1000 GPU, doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
  14. what games are you playing and what is the rest of your setup. I would probably get a 780, even with your resolution your trying to play at you may want to look at the titan.
  15. I would get an H100i with the 4770k, it is well know that Haswell is built with molten lava.
  16. Ahh, the 8800GT, so nice to see its return.
  17. None, bought a xbox 360 for show. Also, to entertain my 10 year old cousins when they come over with it.
  18. Do you still live with your parents or some shit, and where do you live. Also, Im guessing your single, cause, I highly doubt a women would let you spend your entire salary on computer parts and 2k on console garbage. Never met a person who spends like 20k on computer stuff and 2k on console stuff when making 35-40k a year. Also, show some pics of your setup, it sounds boss ^.^
  19. U can get a AX760i or AX860i they are both 80+ Platinum ceritified, thats what i would recommend
  20. A keyboard to now match your :Lightning GPU and MPower motherboard :D
  21. yea a 750W will allow you to do 2-way SLI in the future if you plan to get another 780.
  22. Wasnt it like $5 last week?
