Re: WSGF and the Oculus Rift

My biggest concern is ocular fatigue. I wonder what's the effect of focusing on a screen inches from your eyes for hours.

Feedback on the Zalem triple monitor stand?

Has anyone ever ordered the Zalem monitor stand? I find the design quite interesting for racing simulators and would like to know the pros and cons of that system.

Re: 7950 ot GTX 660 Ti?

In Canada, the 7950 is about 20$ more than the GTX 660 Ti. That makes it a no-brainer.

Re: [H]ardocp Fall 2012 GPU and Driver Comparison Roundup

It was an interesting article but i wished the benchmarks included triplescreen resolutions. I'm actually trying to decide between the GTX 660 Ti, 7870 and 7950.

7950 ot GTX 660 Ti?

I'm thinking about replacing my aging 5770 and the two cards that fit my budget are the GTX 660 Ti and the 7950. I want to use only a single card for triplescreen gaming with 3 X 22" monitors. So, which card would be the better choice?

$48.88 triple monitor stand

http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1892/1/

There is just one caveat:
Legit Bottom Line: The MonMount LCD-1930 Triple LCD Monitor Mount is very well built and is affordable, but it only supports supports three 19" monitors if you want to angle the outside panels in.

My best hope is for a price

My best hope is for a price drop on the 7800 series once nVidia starts releasing their cards. The current prices of the 7000 cards show how much we need competition.

For what resolution?

Maybe a 2GB 6950? Or a 570GTX?

3 X 1680x1050.

I would prefer to stick to a single card solution. It's quite amazing how much mileage i got out of a $139 card...

Looking to replace my 5770.

My old 5770 still manages to run older games in triplescreen but it is clearly lacking the horsepower to run Battlefield 3 and Project CARS. Unfortunately, i'm budget limited so the new card would have to cost around $200. What would you recommend?

My 5770 gets about 20 fps in medium in single player with 3 22 inches monitors. That's definitely not enough for you.

Fast-forward to 2011 and i finally have a decent gaming computer. Now i have a new problem: The Witcher 2 came out. Because my ...

Have you thought about using a Fanatec Rennsport wheels stand? It could fit in the inside corner of your desk and it would also be easy to remove when not playing racing games.

I was planning on buying Dragon Age 2 and almost didn't bother trying the demo. I have loved every single Bioware RPG (even Jade Empire!) but after playing the demo, i am not going to play that game. I think that the game has been dumbed down too much. The combat felt like i was playing Dynasty ...

I am really amazed by poor performance of the stock Intel i7 cooler that came with my i7 950. When i ran the Prime95 torture test, my CPU temp reached 85C and still climbing when i decided to stop it.
