ROG Swift

Just curious, anyone planning on setting up surround with three of these dudes, once they are released? If so, what will you be driving them with? I've read posts stating this is impossible with current GPU's, and others which say they are currently running a similar setup, albeit with different 1440p monitors. I'm really not sure what to believe. I currently have two EVGA Dual Classified 780ti's; hoping these might do the trick.

Sure you will be able to run them with them however you'll run into serious Vram issues and even if you has enough Vram you would get 20 fps in maxed out Crysis 3.

It's unlikely that anyone will buy them besides the super hardcore Pro gamers as it's a TN panel and G-Sync is dead because of FreeSync.

I don't see why it shouldn't be possible...? Its a normal 1440p monitor with G-Sync, if you have the necessary graphics horsepower, I don't see why it wouldn't work. Here's the problem though: you're running two 3GB cards and you'll be running a tremendous amount of pixels off of those. Its likely that you'll run out of VRAM very quickly, especially with games like Watch Dogs, and that won't be fun.  

 

3x1440p is like 4K on steroids. 4K means your driving around 8.3 million pixels, 3x1440p is over 11 million. You'll probably want 4x 6GB 780s, maybe even Titans or 2x R9 295x2 for that, if you fancy playable framerates and settings. TBH, I'd go with 3x1080p for now and wait a few years until GPUs are actually able to drive those resolutions without requiring you to spend $5000+ on a setup to run it.

Hah good joke.

Too dab it isn't and there are thousands of people who are planning to buy gsync monitors.

I have yet to hear from anyone who uses freesync on a daily basis.

I don't see much value on those monitors,There are good cheaper 1440p IPS monitors, that don't have 120hz, but who can run games with a surround setup like this over 60 fps???

G-sync is still expensive and it doesn't spreads because we are still waiting for a cheaper solution.

 

Logan from TekSyndicate has a video with 1440p triple surround benchmarks,  he is using 2 780s in SLI. His numbers are low, as expected. You can imagine the difference between the 780ti's, which is not that much,

FreeSync isn't even really a thing yet.

It's the same thing just controlled in reverse and based on an open standard but people still whatever the most expensive option is just because of claims.

There are no freesync monitors released yet, so we still have to wait.

It's mostly speculation but it's rumored major manufactures are already designing FreeSync monitors and are to be released sometime in 2015.

Thanks guys. I was afraid this would not be possible. I'm currently running a 27" IPS. I love the color and size, but hate the input lag. Looks like I have some soul searching to do... Stick with what I have, or pursue the surround with shitty 1080p...

How about just gaming on one ROG monitor and then have a  auxiliary 4k? Surround isn't really that useful. I would buy a 4k monitor and a rog swift monitor. Then you can game on the rog one and watch 4k video on the other one. Although I would use the rog one as a main display because scaling for 4k in windows isn't great. You have the best of both worlds.
