I am not a big pc gamer but would like the ability to play any new game at playable settings. Triple screen on occasion . i have 3 1080p 23" ips monitors.
not worried about playing triple screens on ultra.
PC Specs:
I7 4770k
GA-Z87X-UD3H
16gb ram
tx650m
Im afraid no matter what gpu i go with it will be mostly wasted. Is there a way to turn off or turn down the gpu card to save power. Onboard graphics are plenty for 95% of the things i do. Since i run my pc pretty much 24 hours a day this could add up fast. Power consumption (if it = waste) is a big factor for me.
For example i would like the ability to play Battlefield 4 on triple 1080 monitors.
i have been looking at evga 760 770 780 760x2
Is there going to be much difference in these cards considering power consumption at around idle/watching a video surfing the web. How do these cards hand a game such as minecraft,half life, or other old stuff that cant use the power, do they use jump to full power?
