That and some of the newer games like Battlefield 4 have an in game resolution adjustment to make the game upscale to 4k which is nice. While it's not true 4k, it's close enough for me.

If it were me I wouldn't upgrade. The price difference between the 780 and 780ti does not, in any way, justify the minimal performance increase you would see. The only reason I would recommend upgrading to a Titan is if you really intend to do some heavy graphics/photo workstation type of work...

I would personally recommend EVGA's power supplies if they're available to you. 10 year warranty and solid performing supplies. They also have a 430w model which is pretty cheap, with the 500w only being about $10 more.

I would leave the 780 in your gaming machine because a single card solution is always more stable and reliable than an SLI solution when it comes to games. As far as 2 760's being "better", it's really a toss up. You're looking at two cards with less vram being shared between the both of them...

If you're a gamer, overclocking can be beneficial to squeeze out some more fps and faster performance. Do you really need to overclock with a 780? Not really when you have GPUBoost, however, I personally recommend disabling GPUBoost and letting your card run at stock speeds and/or overclocking...

If you're willing to drop $800 on two G-Sync monitors, when they come out, then what's the point of discussing a 770 vs 780 and their prices? In my opinion there's no reason to buy a GK104 chip right now, and you would be better off opting for a simple 780 (You can get them used for $400-450 on...

I'm not sure how any of you can call this a gimmick or garbage without seeing it for yourself. You cannot, under any circumstance, get a sense of what G-SYNC is by watching a video about it online. It's something you have to experience for yourself, and everyone who has reviewed it and/or demoed...

Sounds like a PSU issue to me based on the information you've provided. I personally recommend EVGA psu's. Fantastic warranties and solid units. I use a Seasonic, but wish I had purchased an EVGA. This one would meet your needs based on your posted specs...

Make sure your cards power usage in the Nvidia control panel is set to performance and not the default setting. Are you using EVGA Precision software to mange your gpu's overclock? If so, enable K-Boost in the settings which will kill the GPU Boost and run the card at its stock settings. GPU...

Because 1080p is fine, and 27" is just too big for what I like.

I've been using a Samsung Syncmaster 225BW for well over six years and it's still in mint condition, but it's time to move on. I had been looking at the ASUS VG248QE for a while, and with G-Sync now available, it seems like a good time to go ahead and upgrade. However, the new ASUS models should...

Update: Received the new unit today which is a refurb, but in good condition. So far so good. I can boot up and power down without issue, and after 3 hours of stress testing it hasn't shut down once. I'll let it run as is for a couple weeks then set my overclocks again, run for another couple of...

Sounds motherboardish in nature. You said your screen goes black... are you using onboard graphics or dedicated? If you have a spare psu or can borrow one I would definitely swap it out to see if the problem persists. Ruling out a possible psu issue is always a -very- good thing. I would also...

I've used Logitech mice as far back as I can remember. I used the MX518 for about 6 years before upgrading to the G9, which I didn't like the feel of, so switched back to the 518for another two years before the buttons finally started failing due to use. I went with the G500 as of last year and...

This is a great post which I agree with. I think more times than not, most people end up in situations where more ram is more beneficial. SSD's are nice, don't get me wrong, but they're not really required in my opinion unless you have the money to burn on one.
