Not sure if I'm blind or, but is there a motherboard somewhere in there?
Also with "only" one titan you won't be able to play most games on ultra with good framerates (http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_gtx_titan_3_way_sli_review,19.html) and with that case you won't be able to go SLI in the future

[tricky]

And to go SLI, I would recommend a higher rated power supply, 450W is minimal.

You may also want to consider 2 x GTX 780s for $1,300 instead of one Titan for $1,000. 2 780s will crush a single Titan.

See the 5760x1080 comparison
Titan: 20 fps (barely playable)
SLI 780s: 39 fps (playable)
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVID ... LI/19.html

Note: With overclocking my 780, I am getting an extra 5 fps in most games, makes a difference.

[GamerGirlAlice]

looking at a evga z87 stinger or the rog z87 impact mini itx boards. but sounding like ill be better off with a real sli tower right?

i have also debated geting a ASUS ROG MATRIX 7970 platum and wuning 5 screens question is would 1 be enough

[Mach1.9pants]

Bear in mind that the Mawrtin posted was using
"DX11
Ultra mode
4xMSAAAA enabled
16x AF enabled
HBAO enabled"

Those are high settings. In the good old days when I was 3 screen in most new games I had to accept using lesser settings, especially AA and HBAO. The big screen more than made up for that IMO. If you go TRI SLI 780s or Titans then the world is your oyster ...

If you are going for 3 screens I would also go for a big case, cos to keep using those 3 screens in the latest games you will need to keep updating your rig, and a big case keeps those options open.

As to a single card, yes you can always do it but setting are going to be lower, I agree entirely with the idea of 2xGTX780 (and they are every over clockable) instead of an overpriced Titan.

GL!

EDIT: [H] have just done a very relevant report for you: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013/08/ ... ard_review

However I noticed in another thread that this is mostly for WoW, is that correct?

[AzzA]

Ex WOW palyer here , i wont go into as much depth as some others here.
But i was playing wow 5940x1080 with sli 580's, i7-930 and 6gb ram, raiding at 60fps ultra with 4XAA. In ORG or SW it was still laggy in 35-50 ( most likely since i live in australia )

Though most other games are pretty demanding at theses levels, which made me upgrade

I7-3820 ( 4.8ghz )
16gb ram ( sort of overkill tho for gaming)
2 X GTX 780 ( 2wks old loving theses beasts )
( Upgraded at different times hence the 3820 cpu )

Now I run even Crysis 3 50+ on ultra settings in surround.
Wow is pretty easy to run triple screen , Really helps being able to spread all your info panels out and still see what your doing.
And get used to running nearly everything thru addons Blizz's UI doesnt like us multiscreeners

You really just need to decide if playing games other than WOW is important to you if so get sli 780's if not get some cheaper SLI cards, Hell my nieghbours' SLI 460s play wow triple screen no AA tho.

GamerGirlAlice,

Just bear in mind if you want to run surround 3D, you will need approved, compatible (or unofficially proven to work) monitors. There is a list on Nvidia's site of males & models that work.

+1 re. the GTX 780's, way better value than a single Titan. Though a FT03 mini will not take two cards.

Not sure if you are in the states or not, but AMD & partners confirmed a price drop for the HD7990, its now $699. Considering they released a microstutter fix, its well worth considering.

[AzzA]

The AMD microstutter fix is only for multi gpu - single screen users at the moment no date on when eyefinity users will see it ( at least from what i could find )

[Bifurk8]

Microstutter fix for multi-GPU AMD configs? Link please?

*Edit: OK, I thought you were saying AMD had an Eyefinity + Crossfire microstutter fix. If so, I'd want it! But, it looks like I just misread your comment.

If you go for 3D monitors make sure they are lightBoost capable. So you can run 2D lightBoost for ART similar motion.
