Hey everyone,
I am looking at doing a system update to my old x58 i7-920 rig, its having a pretty hard time in games now the 560 Ti is getting cooked, some white shading on BF3 is showing up as yellow... (its not that yellow snow).
Was going to update my whole system to an Ivy Bridge-E in September but im going to hold off on that as the X58 is doing and has been doing a good job at 4.2GHz for the last 2.5 years and i feel i may not seen a massive performance increase with a X79 apart from in my multi-threaded music sequencing software.
I think i can hold out till Haswell-E and the DDR4 ram to do a rig update.
What i am thinking of upgrading the graphics too is two gigabyte GTX 770 4B in SLI and i think ill have to get a new PSU i would say as 620w seems a bit lean for them and a 920@4.2, think ill go for the Corsair AX1200i and that should keep me going into the future.
What i am not to sure about is if SLI 770 will handle 2D surround (5760x1080) in games like BF3/BF4 and future released games?
Cheers
