I believe I posted the model number in another thread, but I got my monitor from one of the graphics departments at my job. They have these really high end dell monitors that they get about every year and a half and they were about to toss them out and I was able to use a "buy back" option at my job to get it....for a grand...

Even though the price is high when it comes to 4k I will only mess with a Dell monitor...when I first started researching 4k monitors I ran across some Nvidia thread where some people had bought some brand of 4k monitor, used the display port...and the resolution actually ended up being 2k :dahellwhat:...been to scared to even research any non Dell 4k monitor since then.

The particular monitor I have allows for 2k (yeah 1440p), but I can't vouch for the others...
All the frys ones were Tn models anyway, but a few got good reviews so I was tempted. But with these next gen games I need that 2k option. I guess I'll just wait it out. I Probably should spend the money on 8gb gpus when they come out instead. 4k is crazy right now (shyt, 3k is hard on ultra with some of these games <cough> ACU <cough> Plus I may need to replace shyt on my rig if I get more freezes :to:)

I only had one major :mjcry: moment in DA:I when I loaded a save and my characters legs were like 90% of his body...paused it and came back and it was fine...

Far Cry...:mjcry:...can't even play it at 4k...:mjcry:..15 - 22 FPS with everythin on medium:mjcry:

Dropped it to 2k and can get 45 - 65 FPS now...

Was so disgusted I just turned it off...

Just bought these 780's earlier this year and they already been beat down...:mjcry:
You can't lock in 60 FPS with two 780s in 2k???? :mindblown:

I'm thinking my graphics card died. I can plug up my HDMI and DVI to the motherboard outputs when I unplug the graphics card and my pc outputs correctly. When I plug my card back in and try to use it, I get a black screen. I've tried this on all three PCI-E slots on the motherboard and the same thing. The fan spins though and it acts as if it is working as normal, but I don't get a picture. Help is greatly appreciated.

Breh, I am very tempted to get the 5930K for you and give you a nice "discount" off of retail :youngsabo:

How would we know what "tier" he will be eligible for? I am going to contact him soon about this shyt.
How much would you sell that 5930k for? That's a damn good deal. I wish I knew somebody in retail myself.
