Dell Ultrasharp u2711 & GTX 590 2560x1440 Black Ops

[tisat07]

Bro i m using GTX 460 in SLI mode by Duel link DVI-D cable but in desktop when i choose 2560*1440 resolution it is displaying but hazzy looks. what should i do.

[SmelDiferenToMidget]

@tisat07 change the resolution to something lower, a gtx 460 is not very powerful...

[tisat07]

@SmelDiferenToMidget i wanna use GTX 570 which have DP . Such Asus DirectCU II GTX 570. is it able to give 2560*1440 resolution ?

[Drugf4c3]

@tisat07 The card supports up to 2560x1600, as long as your monitor is also capable of supporting it.

[SmelDiferenToMidget]

@tisat07 Yes gtx 570 do support 2560x1600, but if you plan on playing metro 2033 your fps will be so low it will be inpossible to play

[Drugf4c3]

@tisat07 I have no experience with the 400 series of Nvidia and I don't know what you mean with hazzy looks. I would say gtx 460 in SLI should be enough. Do you have to duel link DVI-D for it to work ? Because 1 DVI cable can push enough pixels through...

[TheOkmnz]

what sort of frames per seconds were you getting in BF3 at that resolution? (2560x1440p) and also if you played skyrim, how about that one too? thanks :P

[Drugf4c3]

@TheOkmnz I shall make a skyrim vid for you today.

[TheOkmnz]

@Drugf4c3 Awesome thanks :P

[Drugf4c3]

@TheOkmnz I uploaded the Skyrim vid today. Sorry that it took like a week to make, had been busy :p

[TheOkmnz]

@Drugf4c3 all good. Thanks a lot. It looks awesome

@TheOkmnz BF3 Hd6990 at 2560x1440 ultra settings 2xmsaa between 48-65 sometimes peaks to high eightys depending on what happening in game obviously

[shino7977]

What is your review on the dell monitor? Any problems?

[Drugf4c3]

@shino7977 It's amazing. If you can spare the cash and appreciate the visuals it's worth it 100%. The only down side I encountered was that it asks alot of your maching. When playing some games in HD+ (Rage, Battlefield 3 & Metro 2033) it asks alot of your machine.

[shino7977]

@Drugf4c3 Yh i really want it but there's so many complaints about the grainy Anti Glare coating that can be seen on white backgrounds on the monitor.. what do you think of it? Can you send me a pic of your screen showing google or something? :)

[TheQhozt]

@Drugf4c3 Well duh! Ofcourse it is going to demand alot of resources, and vram especially.

[Drugf4c3]

@TheQhozt doh ! Thats why I got the 590, but it looks like I have to get another one.

[TheQhozt]

@Drugf4c3 Don't bother and get a 7970

[Drugf4c3]

@TheQhozt 7970 doesn't bring enough power, gtx590 gives higher framerates and supports Physx (which is why I want Nvidia). When the gtx690 comes, Ill upgrade to it.

[TheQhozt]

@Drugf4c3 FYI NV will name their next GPU series GTX 760, 770, 780 etc. But doesn't the 590 only have 1.5GB of VRAM per GPU? Wich is AFAIK not enough. That's why i would sell the 590 and get xfire 7970's.

[Drugf4c3]

@TheQhozt I didnt knew that, guess it will be the gtx790 then. The benchmarks I have seen of the two cards competing against each other brings the gtx590 out as winner though. Im not planning on downgrading. But okay lets say it's better, I really need the Physx to work so I don't think I will ever go back to amd. (Im not a fanboy or anything, I just need the extra quality).

[TheQhozt]

@Drugf4c3 A 590 vs 7970 in xfire? Because that doesn't seem right... :/

[Drugf4c3]

@TheQhozt Oh no, don't get me wrong :O not in cf setup. We are talking single card solutions ;)

[TheQhozt]

@Drugf4c3 Why not just get two 780's when they launch? Unless they don't dumb down the cores for the 790.

[Drugf4c3]

@TheQhozt Good question. Well I got this card instead of 580's because of the sabertooth x58 which has the pci slots too tight together (it would get really hot). So this was more bang for the buck and cooler. I am going to 2011 platform soon, which gives more space between the pci slots.

[TheQhozt]

@Drugf4c3 If i were you i would wait for the Ivy Bridge 1155 CPU's and get a Z77 mobo :) Generally one doesn't need a SB-E build. :)

[Drugf4c3]

@TheQhozt Hey it seems like it will be 6** series after all.

tweakers.net/nieuws/80172/nvid­ias-670-ti-wordt-sneller-dan-d­e-gtx-580.html

they are saying a 670ti is gonna be faster then a 580 in this article.

[TheQhozt]

@Drugf4c3 Yeah i read that too, i can't wait for the 680... :)
