The 680's showing signs of age ?
Two of these beasts would put a hurtin on FC4

680's still running very well actually. Current issue is this whole HDCP thing. Amazon prime is requiring it now so this old (still awesome) Apple Cinema 30" is slowly becoming useless for anything but games. Soon games will pick up the HDCP crap.
Would like to uptick to X99/New gen GPU soon.
Maybe its time for 2x24"?

I have a 8 core x99 set up, CPU is ridiculous for anything that can utilize the threads.
w/Prime / Cinebench monster
Not convinced any current games can do so though ?
Broadwell should be along soon, Could be interesting :)
There always is 4K screens but even (2) 980's will struggle to push one of those screens for FPS's
I think the 27" 2560x1440 PLS screens are the sweet spot for max frames and ridiculous picture quality.

trying to find out when the 980 Ti will hit the street's, reading all kinds of garbage
some have it first quarter, some are saying not until 2016 ... WTF
Don't want to shell out only to have the TI release in a month or so, if 2016 will be getting one of these for sure 1300+ out of the box ....... lol
Hoping some definitive info comes along soon,

Whats the going price?
Witchdoctor
01-31-2015, 01:22 PM
I am afraid to ask .... :rofl
Being the Classy is 7 bills, thinking minimum of $ 800.00
But with 14/3 phase power , triple BIOS and the far out lights , it is the badest a$$ 980 out there for sure
