Bragging rights. Let's see what you got.

if you have trouble seeing on that you have serious problems . Not sure if all games and apps are going to like the native resolution of that monitor though. Your gonna have to push those vid cards a bit harder to pull off that resolution.

I was being sarcastic Dave.  And I don't have any problems running that monitor.

[One Eyed Wonderweasle]

 So was I with the first part, just not to sure some of your older games would support the extra widescreen resolution. 
 But super sweet monitor. Way better than the tv I'm using.

Not sure if all games and apps are going to like the native resolution of that monitor though.

So far, every game I have thrown at it, picks up on the native resolution and eyefinity enabled resolution.  But generally, I just use the other monitor for extended desktop.

Your gonna have to push those vid cards a bit harder to pull off that resolution.

Not so fast young jedi.  These radeon hd 6870's support even higher resolutions then 2560 x 1080.  In fact, each of the 2 cards can support 2560 x 1600 per monitor, totaling up to 6 monitors each card.  I think I am still good.  lol

Either is fine by me.  And hey, with my new monitor, maybe I can see better.

That's leaps and bounds better then what she currently has at home.  So what would you charge to sell something like that?

[One Eyed Wonderweasle]

got it posted for $750 Canadian, if it was for her could probably do $500 if your talking the Lanboy I5. not sure if that case would fit where hers is currently.   

[KT 💣 KλBoƠM]

I wish I could afford that It is so nice to be on that but he will be selling it. I would be over at his place every day instead of at home if his chair was as comfy as mine lol. ANyway, to not take this topic off of topic, talk about MY computer will go here: http://www.killerz.dns2go.com/smfbb20/index.php?topic=71.0

Hey Oneeyed, here is an update for ya.  I finally got a decent new video card.  A XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT.  Added a Bykski full cover water block to it because this thing runs alarmingly hot with the stock cooler.  The CPU and GPU is being cooled with a EKWB performance 360 water cooling kit.  And added a XSPC 120mm Ultrathin Radiator to the back for a little added cooling performance.  It all fit tight but comfortably into my old cooler master haf x case.

The CPU runs at 38c idle / 67c under full load.  Keep in mind that I set the bios up to monitor the cooling performance and it clocks the CPU to the maximum allowable clock speed based off of the coolers monitored score rating and the XMP II profile.  The score rating at the time of this post is 168 and this allowed a clock speed of 5ghz base clock, 5.1ghz turbo. 
The GPU runs at 34c idle and 66c at full load.  And that's overclocked to 2100 core, 875 memory and plus 50 on voltage using MSI Afterburner.

I'll get some pictures of it later.

[Sandman[SA]]

And here it is in all it's glory.  Notice the 3rd pick, my creative idea to inter connect the 2 radiators.  It took five, 90 degree swivel fittings and one, 45 degree swivel fitting, and a 3 inch section of tubing to make the connection.

I don't know why it laid most of the images side ways.  But in order to upload them, I had to remove some file size limitations.  I think I will keep it that way from now on.

 You might not be aware but you are currently using the guts of that same computer you were using at that time. don't think I had the GTX 760 in it yet but mb, ram and cpu I pulled out of the old Lanboy Air case.

For anyone running win8 or win10, windows assessment scoring is still available.  You just have to do it manually. 



My system has the following specs in relation to the score:

Intel i7 8700K 3.7ghz (6 core 12 thread)
Score = 9.3
XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT (reference card)
Score = 3D 9.9 / 2D 9.5
Western Digital Black M.2 nvme boot drive 1tb
Score = 9.0
G-Skill Trident Z 3200 32gb (4 x 8 )
Score = 9.3
