I've got a 5870 in my gamer now because I wanted 3 screens 3 screens it too damned immersive for me I have 3 EVGA superclocked 580s and water blocks for all three. They've been sitting around doing basically nothing, so I'm thinking of using those and selling the 5870.

The problem as I see it is I can get more value out of the MIVE w the 2600k when I sell it than I could the R3EBE which was ungodly expensive even before I bought the water block for it. Should make a good gamer too, so....

truth be told bro, you need to work on being more decisive ............

End of the day daawg, 3 580's will provide you with a great gaming experience with either CPU.

I have 2 vinillas and can play Crysis 2 with dx 11 and texture pack at

Maxx settings in game
and override in nVCP with the following
64AA
16AF
Supersampling
Highest quality settings through out

never even get a hick up

I agree the MIVE will bring mo money, But I would max out boints with it if you have not already

x79 is coming soon ........

It played games both on cartridges and via a tape drive. All of 6KB of RAM

WD, the MIVE is days away from being frozen with a 580 lightning sitting on top of it

Extreme Gamer, the Black edition with the hexacore chip.

CPU power is not as important as bandwidth if using 3 GPUS (extreme gamer) the bandwidth makes up for the slightly smaller CPU perofrmance.

Plus you have HW NIC and Audio card.

If only using one or two cards, stick with the 2600K

Then you're saying use 3 cards w/ the R3EBE? Sounds good to me
