A Complete Waste of Space

I can't find the post where you mentioned what model you monitor was.

I've just ordered a GTX690 & I would like to get a new monitor next month, and the one you have seems niiiiiiiiice. Can you tell me the model again?

Thnks

With a spare 20'' monitor I may make myself a nice sim rig again.

Nevermind I found it it was older than I thort.

But I can still brag about the 690GTX. Can't wait to get it.

I've ordered the perfect pixel version from some korean seller on ebay. Can't wait to get the vid card & the monitor.

Next steps (in two months or so:)

& waterblocks for the 690 & proc.

Yup, I got the QNIX 2710 non-perfect pixel monitor.....though, it came, in perfect condition and no bad pixels or light bleed.
You're gonna love that 690 and this monitor....if you're the experimenting type...it can be overclocked, this monitor to 120hz...though mine is set at 96hz. I hope it ships as fast as mine....46 hrs from Korea to the corral.

I won't get the 690GTX before next week though. I may receive the monitor first.

I'd saw that you can clock it, 96 is good enough for me. I won't target 120 but near 100 is perfect if you ask me.

Nic

forgot to mention earlier....you're gonna need a damn good PSU power supply for that card. Something like a single 12v rail and loads of amps...I would guess 60+ amps. You probably already know that...

Here's what I'm currently running....

AMD 8350 @ 4.6 Corsair H110 liquid cooler
Motherboard 990FX Sabertooth R2, Spot fan on VRMs (back and front)
2X8 gig DDR3 @1600 being replaced tommorow with 2133 ram
Gigabyte GTX 770 OC with 4 gig Vram on a QNIX 2710 2560x1440 monitor@96hz
Antec LanboyAir Case with 7 120mm, 2 140mm, spot & 80mm fans, 3 vga fans,
950 watt PSU "Silver Rated" PC PowerCooling
Win 7 64 Pro OEM/Intel 120g SSD boot drive/WD 1Tbyte Caviar Black

I have a seasonic 600. I'm hoping it will be enough.

Nic

The rest of my system is quite old actually. But I have to buy a new vid card because I gave my old one to my brother when his broke and he couldn't afford a new one.

I'm still on a i7 940 on a rampage II extreme with 3 4 gb sticks of low timings patriot memory in triple channel.

I'm planning on watercooling and overclocking it & hopefully it will be enough to run most games I have.

Shouldn't be too hard since I play mostly old stuff.

Nic

I am away from home at the moment. All sounds good to me.

Sorry Nic....I almost forgot to reply...

You may want to give the link below a good read.
Depending on what you're running....that Seasonic 600 may not have enough power (ooomph) to run the 690.
Not knowing what series seasonic 600 you have, the two different ones I looked at had "split" 12v rails and only about 20 amps on each. That most likely ain't no where near...enough.

Just sayin' a nice GTX 690, deserves lot's of good, clean power.

Meh I just checked my box to see what seasonic model it was, & I realised it was actually a 750W Corsair in there. I should hope it will be enough. I should receive the card tomorrow, but no new on the monitor's front. I hope I'll get it sooner than later. Damn customs.
