PCI-E 2.0 x16 (= 3.0 x8) should be enough, no?

[Xuvial]

Should be, yeah.

Speaking of 2560x1440 monitors...

I really want to see a review for this. $430 for a 27" S-IPS seems a bit too good to be true.

Even if it turns out to be a wonder, those huge bezels will make it pretty bad for multi-monitor...and at that price people will be tempted to grab more than one :P

I actually don't like multimonitor anymore. I'd rather have huge real estate on one screen.

the problem is that 3x2560x1440(11MP) is almost twice as big as 3x1920x1080(6.2MP) so you couldn't run eyefinity or surround anyway, unless of course you like sub 30 fps

[Xuvial]

Huh, true.

[inux94]

Minesweeper on eyefinity.

Minesweeper on eyefinity.

50000*5000 minesweeper map. Go.

Not even with quad-SLI, you think?

Wouldn't you run out of vRAM with 60 11 megapixel images per second with only 2GB usable?



/OT: has anybody got any experience using a capture card to record game video and compress it on the fly to H.264? Is it worth it?

[DeltrusDisc]

Oh I'm going to be watching that monitor.... I've been getting into the mood for a bigger IPS of some sort monitor, but frankly, they're all so bloody expensive! Christmas is 4 months away........... >_>

Your mouse and keyboard remind me of my old setup.

Get a Corsair K90 and we'll be back to the same stuff again. lol

(TL;DR: The sound card box is so purtty)

This is my desk at work. Lol.

I really need a new keyboard here though, you're right. This one is wearing out.

FAKE that's just the box, there's no card in it!

[Asera]

Fine!

[Xuvial]

Dammit I hate being wrong

[DeltrusDisc]

lol why would Asera lie about something like this? We know she has a real job and likes good quality sound. ;p

DAMN ME FOR BUYING THE LAME XONAR DX

Hey now, the DX isn't lame... it just isn't as awesome as the Essence STX. Onboard audio is lame (at least my mobo's is/was)
