Hi guys,
I recently bought a Samsung LED XL2370 display for my HTPC setup in order to use it as a second monitor, the main monitor is the Sony HDTV of course 40 inch. I use the monitor to do some work and casual gaming and of course internet browsing.
My system is formed of an i7 920, 6 GB ram, a Sapphire ATI 4890 1GB and an Auzentech Hometheatre HD sound card, and an SC-07 pioneer receiver.
I am planning to get a home theatre 1080p projector hopefully soon.
Now the questions is as follows, I got the fever of moving to 3D mainly to a 3D projector but I might sleep on this idea for a while and start with my question here and that is getting an NVIDIA GTX465 card, Nvidia 3D vision kit, and most probably an ASUS VG236H 23-Inch 120 Hz 3D Ready Panel . But by doing this there is a price for the upgrade which means I have to try to sell my newly bought Samsung LED screen and the ati4890, the following are questions and comments in mind:
1. Is the upgrade worth it for now?
2. Does the Nvidia asus or evga cards have audio output over hdmi (I need this sometimes)?
3. Can I have two different frequencies outputs over the nvidia card as I need to get a 60Hz out for the (auzentech and receiver) and 120 HZ to the 3D monitor?
4. I am going to lose the audio out from the screen which I am getting from the Samsung LED without an extra cable or wireless headphones which I am benefitting from at this stage.
5. If I was lucky I can sell the 4890 for around 170 USD in my country or 150, the 465 is around USD 220 now in the US. I might be able to sell the screen for 200 or 250 USD. Thus financially I will need to pay around Asus + Nvidia 3D vision (500) +220 – 150 (ati) – 200 (Samsung LED) = USD 370 however if we take the actual upgrade I need to remove the nvidia 3D vision (around 200) thus the real actual upgrade if I can sell my older equipment is around 170 USD, is this justifiable to move to better card and 3D?
I will be grateful for suggestions and comments over the above.
