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%.
Crappy drivers FTL

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.
