Playing games or normally?
Eyefinity games it will struggle, but playing games in 1 monitor and having stuff in the other 2 should be ok.
I ran 2x 7970 in Eyefinity playing games, it ran "ok", but really it's just a gimmick!

All of the radiator fans are on the controllers (top controller for the CPU/MB/RAM rad, bottom controller for the GPUs rad, means if I'm playing games I can whack up the GPUs rad and play away without the temps increasing and works very well) all other fans are off the MB connections.
Evo 5 RS
Rig looking mighty well put together Garath. What sort of temps are you getting on GPU / Cpu?

You can get refurbed H100's from ocuk, scan do them aswell iirc, for around £45.
I'm using the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2. Great case for the price and can hold 6x 140mm/120mm fans. Its got good cable management, can hold a 360 and 240mm radiator straight out of the box, easily removed dust filters and looks great too.
Not to clued up on amd stuff, but i dont think you can go wrong with the sabretooth.

Ordered a 290 + waterblock today.
Was going to wait for the X, but for £100 price difference for 5% increase in performance, screw that.

I know I'm a tad late but going back to the 7970 with eyefinity thing, it runs older games on 3 screens fine, dirt 2/3 etc.... never below 70fps for me. Newer games struggle like hell, farcry 3 on ultra returns about 15 fps and crysis 3 won't go above 4 fps.
Shame as I would love to see crysis maxed out on 3 screens.

For me, sadly so. I feel that going back to one screen would be like going back to a GT 260.
It's not just the gaming, it's the fact that I can do so much at once, film or Program on the left, browser center and itunes/utorrent/folders on the right.
And yes, I did detect the sarcasm.
I have an NVSurround setup, some games I will play in a single screen and have the details cranked. Others, I prefer medium with a wider field of view. BF4 being one that I prefer to run at Medium for example. Having that extra visibility at the side can give you a massive advantage.
That wasn't the reason for me going eyefinity, I was after the immense view you get on games like farcry, crysis etc.. But I soon found out about the massive advantage in multiplayer gaming. I don't play many games online, I've just got black ops 2 after a year or so of getting rid of the xbox and I feel like I'm back at square one! That and I've only been gaming properly with keyboard and mouse for about 4-5 months once or twice a week. Slowly but surely getting there.
I game on 1 screen, but use 3 altogether. Eyefinity (imo) is "meh" to play on.
I suppose it all depends on the type of game you're playing. If you're playing a racing game then 3 screens with cockpit view is brilliant. To more hardcore gamers the larger viewing angle is a huge advantage.
Speaking of racing games, you never PM'ed me back you prick.
Soz babes, been busy refitting lounge carpet, fitting a new kitchen and shifting furniture between 3 floors. I'm having a night off from it tomorrow so I'll be online then!
Fair enough. Anyone else got LFS?
Cliosport lfs championship! EPIC idea.
For racing games yeah it'd be nice, for most FPS' I tried, it just gave a too "quake-like" fov on the other 2 screens, and was mostly distracting than usable.
Would definitely be awesome. I can host the server.
Orsum. Do you use a wheel btw? I forgot to ask the other night.
Yeah, Logi G25. Have a joystick for the handbrake too, when I can be bothered to plug it in.
Jelly much, I got a TM f430 and immediately regretted it, something about it just don't like.
Ah well, win some lose some. I may have to strike a deal with edward.
whats this LFS i need some new racing games to play
