Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hey thanks for your welcome i was told this was the place to come and thanks for the reply, i have 2 external wd 2tb hhd but i will probaly go with the internal 2tb hhd anyway in the end since its only £16 more than the 1tb.

About the monitor choice yeh after hours and hours of research the past couple days off ive looked at so many monitors my brain is putting 2 and 2 together.

Would you recommend using a different build for a triple monitor display, i was also thinking about going with what i have and in the eventual future get hold of a 2nd 780 Ti and go Sli to meet the needs of future games and keep up with better monitors.

how does that sound ?

Do you recommend a different motherboard by the way the reviews on this little guy seem to be very positive but how would it come up against a Gtx 780 ti Sli ?


ive seen several examples of the Asus VG248QE in use with Nvidia Surround and as far as colour and angels i just dont feel they look like such an issue since that is what holds so many people back from buying them, i imagine once configured the colour depth should end up to something reasonable and would be adequate for games such as dayz SA or tomb raider, from the images ive seen it doesn't look awful and when it comes to the angels of the monitors positions they wont be moved and i doubt the side monitors will come far in enough to show any difference from the center monitor, my head position wont be moving much so would they be a reasonable choice for Nvidia Surround ?

Do you have any suggestions for IPS Monitors in the price range of £130 -£250 that would equal the quality of the asus in its own strengths ?

Any idea what constant fps i would be able to pull off in Dayz SA, arma 3, bf4 or perhaps Wow on the Asus or an ips of your choice ?

Any insight from Asus VG248QE owners who also perhaps use them in Nvidia Surround or eyeinifinty with a similar build would be nice (its a big ask i know)

o so many questions i apologize, its a lot money ^^

kind regards Elliot

just go for DELL U2414H. ips 24 inch and 6mm borderless

it's my baby and there is amazing !

Well dammit prodigalson1 isnt that some eye candy, from all my the replies ive been receiving from people on many forums my build just wont run a stable fps with 3 Asus VG248QE as much as i wanted to see what 144hz would look like i wouldn't be getting a good enough fps with them so ill go with ISP sothe Dell is your suggestion, that is a damn fine layout you have there good man.

What are your specs prog ? and whats stable fps with the dell ?

i noticed the dell has a 8ms, is there maybe a newer model with less ms

ive been suggested Acer H236HL due to its thin bezzel, anyone with experience with this model ?

thnx again

Edit1: Just had another look at your photos and the bezel on your Dell looks so good its barely noticeable, somthing of similar quailty and bezel design but perhaps newer, perhaps cheaper and perhaps a lower ms, it might be out there ^^ any top rated gaming models with a very highly rated and praised image quality ?

Edit2: I forgot to ask something, while using Nvidia Surround would i be able to switch between using all 3 screen for gaming to only using the center screen ? e.g go 5760 x 1080 for bf4 and then go 1920 x 1080 for garrys mod or will my games only play in 5760 x 1080 with Nvidia Surround.

dell u2414h is new a monitor. (novembre 2013) review are very great

http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_u2414h.htm


colour are amazing, it's the best monitor with this bezel.

i play with 3 x gtx 780 and i7 4770k.

All games run at 60 fps.

In my opinion If you want to play with 3 monitors , you must go buy a second 780.

Im afraid i dont have the funds for 3x 780's let alone Sli 780 ti at the moment i will probably go Sli 780 Ti in the future to meet the needs of new games but i will have to settle with a single 780 Ti at the moment.

Did you compare the U2414H to other ips monitors before the purchase and what should i be looking when researching ips other than a low response time, i noticed the U2414H has 8ms. thnx

If you take a good look at the "Lag" section of the TFT Central review, you'll see that the 2414H has an awesome reaction time!

Official Data Manufactures write in their spec sheet cannot B's trusted!

The Problem with Monitors is that most people just have one type/model of monitor and keep that for a few years. So comparisons between different monitors are difficult for normal users. Therefore most advice you'll get will be ft review sites.

For the question of switching from 5760x1080 to 1920x1080, if you're not in game that's a simple key press, windows +P and you can toggle the mode in 3 seconds.

As for performance, I'd recommend a 780 SLI over a 780Ti, price/performance point of view.
TriSLI is a bad idea! When you get +90-100% performance from 1 to 2 cards you get around +8-20% performance plus from 2-3 cards and not the expected +50%.

Yeh ive read that particular review and it shows very promising results and praises this particular monitor in many areas, i think its the perfect monitor for Nvidia Surround or Eyefinity at this very moment, until we see something new and improved in the future.

Im afaraid 780 Sli isnt in my budget at the moment either, i would prefer to add an extra £250 to the 780 sli and get 780 ti sli instead of 780 sli.

ill go with the 1 graphics card and upgrade to a 780 sli in a year or so when i have some more funds saved up.
ive read many places that crossfire 290's or 290x's give off a lot of sound and a lot of heat which would mean extra costs for cooling and i might run into other issues with 2 cards and ofc i would have to upgrade both where as i would only have to upgrade a 780 Ti with a 2nd to surpass the performance of crossfire 290's.
By the way when i do add an extra 780 Ti to make Sli, what would i have to do after connecting all the wires ?

I see I see, no half things! Good choice if you can afford it!

What you do? You turn on the Computer and activate SLI in the Nvidia drivers, if it's not activated by defaut.
P.s don't forget the SLI bridge when connecting power cables.
