5760x1200 gaming build

I have no set "min/max" budget, But I don't need to spend 10 grand I can live without playing on MAX settings just want to be at or above 60FPS in most games. Can you give a noob a hand on a build?

Take a look at this..

Originally posted by Sgt.Moore If your looking at building a rig like this and for this cost, I STRONGLY suggest you wait until April for the release of the new NVidia 6 series. http://http.download.nvidia.com/ndemand/product_overview/PO_GeForce_6_series_24.pdf

That's the wrong 6 series

My 6800 Ultra was a beast though.

Opps my bad mislinked haha, Jmaster one of my friends at work was telling me about them skipping the 6 series but no matter where I look I seem to be unable to find a definite answer  Reguardless if those charts hold any truth than boy are these new series just gonna dominate the market, astounding performance !!!

I see that GPUReview has a leaked chart of specifications with the GTX 6xx series cards. So what leaked info can we believe before April? Probably none.

It sucks the Nvidia is being so tight lipped about this whole thing. The impression I am getting is the delay is a good thing for all of us and not a negative. No one wants to see something delayed but from what I can tell it's a delay that should be worth it.

One thing for certain is Nvidia is on track to continue to dominate the market. ATI really had a golden opportunity here getting their cards on the market first but the performance gains are laughable. The 7000 series aren't bad they are just too little of an improvement to justify their cost.

x2 cf7970 does not beat x3 SLI 570, not even close to beating it. I've linked reviews and benchmarks for it in all sorts of posts here and don't feel like linking them again. Feel free to search my posts or look the benchmarks up.

The stock 7970 barely beats the stock 580, by less then 10fps and in some games by less then 5fps, but it does that with twice as much RAM as the 580. The performance gain just does not exists as a 5-10fps gain will make no difference.

It's also why the 570 2.5GB is so widely recommended as you get the extra RAM to help out and bring it's numbers up that even the 580 is not recommended most of the time. The 7970 is not bad but it's not an actual upgrade yet it costs way too much money.

For 7970 to be worth it's cost it would need to be able to use just one card where you previously had to use two. Example would be if the 7970 could handle a particular game on just one card at a certain resolution and graphics setting that would normally require x2 570 2.5GB cards. But in any game that requires x2 570's still requires x2 7970's.

If these rumors turn out to be true that's exactly what the new Nvidia cards will be able to due. Provide playable frame rates on a single card when the previous generation required two cards.

So for that extra $150 you spend, for each card, you get absolutely nothing for it. You will in no way benefit from those few extra FPS that you spend hundreds of dollars for.

When you start getting into super high resolutions like the OP were every single fps matters then you can start looking at other cards but the 580 3GB will match the 7970 in performance as it's that extra RAM that matters at the big resolutions and will save you a few bucks.
