Show Us Your Rig [8]

[Lady Fitzgerald]

It can be tough on your eyes but it`s awesome compared to 1 monitor

Yep. I could never go back to a single display.

Oh yeah, I hear you! I'm soooo spoiled by my three 24" monitors. I went nuts when I was out of town for a week and only had a single 15" screen to use. I wish I had room for three monitors.

 

[HAVOC]

These are Dell E2715H 27" displays. They replaced my Dell E2210 22" displays. Probably not the best "gaming" displays but I wanted a monitor that had no "fluff' such as USB ports, speakers, or an external AC/DC power brick. They do have a display port connector but I'm currently using DVI.

 

[essenbe]

Not a very good picture but... 75" of monitors.

Hi,
Really nice but you would get better picture using the display ports

Would I? I thought 1920 x 1080 would be all that I can get.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Yes it is the better connection

You might actually have the mini display ports ?

 

[HAVOC]

Nope, they are full size. Here's what it says on nVidia's site

Dual Link DVI-I, HDMI 2.0, 3x DisplayPort 1.2

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Okay I thought you had the titan's
You would still get better colors... using the display ports instead of dvi
Display ports are as good if not better than using hdmi
Of course if you ever do connect using display ports use gold tipped display port cables
I use these they aren't all that much

HTG recently ran an article on how to get better colors when using HDMI.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Bad thing about hdmi is that they usually reduce resolution pixel size to give higher quality colors... which it does but so does display ports "if the monitor supports them" without the reductions in pixel count.
Meaning 1920-1080 stays the same as using dvi you just get vivid colors same as hdmi.

Hi,
Good reading
Full was a default setting of course 144Hz was not and is also being used too if the monitors support it that is

 

[HAVOC]

My display will only do 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz. The inputs are VGA, DVI-D, Display Port 1.2

That's an incredible build, Jack. I'm jealous.

It's also about $5K Canadian. Way out of my ballpark.

Hi,
Looks Jack

 

[essenbe]

Looks like an excellent rig Jack. Have you ordered yet?

 

[Layback Bear]

That's an incredible build, Jack. I'm jealous.

It's also about $5K Canadian. Way out of my ballpark.

My last build (My System Specs) was in Nov. 2013.

I only leave the house to go to doctors, hospitals and shopping for food toilet paper and such and it still took me 3 years to save enough. I don't really have a large income, Social Security.
I just don't spend money on anything else.

I'm 70 years old and need to keep busy. So I do computers, computer related forums, read history and I'm righting a book.
So far I'm got to chapter 31. Just had a operation that should allow me to walk better by spring. Hopefully I will be able to play a lot of pool. I can't stand long enough to play pool at this time. A friend has a building he made into a pool room. He and his wife like to play pool.
He can't play at this time because of his shoulder. The V.A. doctors are trying to fix that for him.
I just keep saving and keep busy.
