Hello All,

 

Happy Holidays...can i still say that?  Anyway...

 

CPU: Intel Core I7-5960X 3.50GHZ

MOBO: ASUS Rampage Extreme V

MEM: Ripjaws 4 Series 16GB PC4-24000 Quad Channel DDR4 (X2)

For Now -- eventually want 32MB

HD/SSD: 2x Samsung 840 PRO's

 

Current GPU's: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Dual Classified Superclocked W/ACX Cooler x2

 

I want 4 GPU's because I want to attempt 3 4K monitors, 3x ASUS PB287Q 4K's ...

 

Do I try and get 2 more 780Ti's, do I go and get 4 Titan Black Signatures, 2 Titan Z's?  or 4 GTX 980's?

 

I have been told it "CAN'T BE DONE"  ... What i want from all of you is...

 

WHAT IS MY CHANCE and WHAT 4 CARDS (or 2 if titan z) will give me the BEST Frame Rates

 

p.s. I promise to test and benckmark the CRAP out of it.

p.p.s. I may need some help with the over clocking too.

 

I don't care about COST I want PERFORMANCE!!!

 

 

Thanks all

 

Jeff.

triple 4k is lunacy and 4 way sli scaling is so bad that you might aswell just use 3 cards... not to poop on your parade or anything. Youre just wasting money dude.

980's, but I don't recommend it. 3-way is more than enough even for 4K. 3X 4K, none of these are going to get a reasonable FPS.

He's talking about 3x 4K you understood? As in 3 4K monitors.

4xSLI is not recommended. Sometimes you get lower performance with 4 GPU's compared to 3 GPU's.

I think 3x4K is something that will not happen very soon..

I asked a hypothetical like this earlier and got answers like I would maybe pull this off with highest end hardware on not that demanding games on low graphics.

I would stick to 1 panel for gaming now..

4 980s

 

Just fyi in some games 4 GPUs will perform worse than 3.

 

Also games will be unplayable at triple 4k, unless youre planning to play stuff like minecraft, lol

Got it! So no triple 4K! No matter how much money I throw at it! Awesome! Thank you ALL for saving me some $$$

Okay how about Triple ROG's!!! 2560x1440 I believe?

Still triple cards I assume?

You could run that with your current setup, however if money is no issue for you I'd say go for 3x 980s
