you think you will get 144FPS? What do you run? triFire 290x LN2 Cooled?
i'm having heavy problems getting 60FPS in some games with crossfire 290 ^^

So Haldi. Given that very good point, would I be better off buying 3x 1ms 60hz monitors? Maybe OC them 5-10 hz?

Ill be running this off of a single 290 so, only a handful of games will be able to take advantage of 70-144 hz.

Could argue "future proofing" as an excuse to buy 144hz though. But who knows, maybe we all have oculus vr in the next couple years.

I Dont know... What would you do if you were me?

the next Monitor's i'm going to buy are gonna be 120+hz with Backlight Strobing (i.e Eizo Foris)

The problem will be that from 1 GPU to Crossfire 2 GPU's is about 90-95% Performance plus.
From 2 GPU's to 3 GPU's is about 15-30% Performance plus, and not 50% as it should be !

But still, two Watercooled Overclocked 780Ti might run most games in 100++FPS on Medium/high settings with 2xAA


The time is just bad at the moment, because Nvidia anounced their G-sync and AMD their Free-Sync and you can get roughly 1 or 2 monitors who support this. in 3-4 Years there will be way more Monitors out there which will support these two awesome features.
i am currently waiting on my 3 DellU2311h with 60hz IPS till that time comes.

Thanks for the advice. I think I'm looking at bleeding edge technology, and expecting results we wont see for a year or two down the road. When you throw 4k into the mix, it's just a little too much atm, on my budget at least. Eyefinity is taxing enough already.

Think I'll spend my upgrade dough on components and put the monitor off for a while.

LN2 cant be used 24/7 PC, so i have on Phase Change (-40C) cooling on my i7.

I got an Assetto Corsa 140-260fps (5760x1080), Heavy Custom track (Nordschleife) 100-140fps, online...

Left4Dead2: 140-300fps 5760x1080...

Company of Heroes 2 must be played only 1 screen becouse there are no Hud fix available.

So, my @144Hz monitors are must for proper gaming, 60Hz screens wasnt.
