Tier 9, two questions - SnyderMan - 08-31-2011 I just bought everything highlighted in orange for the tier 9 gaming setup. I have two questions:
RE: Tier 9, two questions - DivineIllusions - 08-31-2011 Congrats on the new rig. If I recall correctly the power supplies for tier 8-10 were calculated with an assumption that the CPU would be overclocked. So you power supply should be good. As far as eyefinity performance I just found this review today where they test a varaity of Radeon cards (both with and without crossfire) at eyefinity resolutions. It looks like the 6950 crossfire combination does fairly well (fps 30+) for the games they test. Radeon 6970 & 6950eyefinity benchmarking If your 27" monitors are 16:10 the performance will be a little lower because of the additional pixals but it should not be a huge impact. Also all of the benchmarking/reviews typically are using the absolute max setting and you can often get significant performance improvements by using a slightly lower AA setting (x4 vs x8). You should post pics of your build if you haven't already. I am looking at building a tier 9 as well and would love to see a finished product. ![]() RE: Tier 9, two questions - Andrew J - 08-31-2011 What are the resolutions of your 27" monitors? DivineIllusions pretty much covered everything though. RE: Tier 9, two questions - SnyderMan - 08-31-2011 (08-31-2011, 04:21 PM)Andrew J Wrote: What are the resolutions of your 27" monitors?

I'm still waiting for everything to arrive, but I'll post pics when I'm finally setup. I can hardly wait ![]() RE: Tier 9, two questions - MathieuB - 09-01-2011 1. I can confirm that the power consumption calculation is based on an overclocked 4.5Ghz Core i7 2600K power consumption, so overclocking your CPU isn't a problem at all. |
