Hello I have a rough idea what I want to do but not sure if it will work and be of a better advantage over my current rig. Budget is clear but if a significant improved performance
Budget = £150-£180 + (sale money of HD 7770 for a better GPU)
Now = Asus HD 7770 1 GB GHz Edition PCI-E 3.0
2 Asus PB238Q23 inch screens. Note, Will be getting 1 more after I sort out the GPU stuff. (3 screens)
Asus P8Z77-V (PCI-E 3.0)
Intel Core i5 3570k Turbo OC’ed to 4.2Ghz
8GB Corsair 1600mhz Vengeance 2x4GB
PSU 650W Corsair TX V
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Options/ideas:
Idea 1
Crossfire = Asus HD 7770 1 GB GHz Edition + Asus HD 7770 1GB GHz Edition = 2gb. (Buy another one the same)
3 Asus PB238Q 23 inch screens. mini displayport to displayport with eyefinity 3x1 landscape Display Group
Budget = Whatever another 7770 costs (don’t need to worry)
Idea 2
Sell Asus HD 7770 1 GB GHz Edition and buy 2/3GB GPU for 3 screens eyefinity
Single GPU = HD ???? 2/3 GB with 3 to 4 mini display ports or 2 mini display ports and 1 DVI
3 Asus PB238Q 23 inch screens. mini displayport to displayport with eyefinity 3x1 landscape Display Group
Budget = £150-£180+sale money of HD 7770
My Questions
Would 2 screens from 2 mini DP’s and 1 from DVI work well with eyefinity?
Would there be any issues with gaming and video?
I have a 650W PSU, will there be plenty of power to run Crossfire 2x HD 7770?
Have you got better ideas that will work effectively, if so what?
(Places I will buy from, Amazon, DinoPC, ebay, ebuyer+others that have good rep)
What do I want to play? (in highest graphic settings I can do)
Watch Dogs
Battlefield 3+4 eyefinity
ARMA 2 highest settings (I know its buggy even with high end hardware)
ARMA 3
Other new games 2014 onwards
What do I do regularly on it now?
Design: print, web, interactive, sound, video, adobe CS6 64bit programs, web development
Gaming: GW2, ARMA 2 + Dayz, Battlefield 3 (single screen), lots of games on Steam
So over all I am looking for an improvement for gaming plus a 3x1 eyefinity setup
Thanks in advance for comments and idea.
