Hi guys, need some advice. Been itching to upgrade and I think it might be time if it's worth it. My current setup is 3 Samgsung SyncMaster 2253LW's, the bezels on these are pretty large, nearly 2 inches when butted up together. They're 1650x1050 22" monitors. They are being pushed by a GTX 670 4GB superclocked version. AMD FX 8-Core FX 8320. I would really like to upgrade to a couple 1080 monitors like thesehttp://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-U2414H-23-8-Monitor/dp/B00GTV05XG/ref=lh_ni_t?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER they have a super small bezel and they're 24". My monitor stand is an Ergotron Triple Monitor stand which support up to 3 22" or 23" monitors. Those monitors that i've mentioned are 24" monitors, so they wont fit without extending the bar with one of these http://www.amazon.com/Extender-Upgrade-Black-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B000SUM16S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417256444&sr=8-1&keywords=97-447-200 Will my setup push those monitors ok? Will i benefit more from a GPU or CPU upgrade if it wont push them. Think it would be worth all the hassle of buying a new stand, say this one http://www.amazon.com/Ergotech-Triple-Horizontal-Monitor-100-D16-B03/dp/B001NPEC5A/ref=sr_1_5?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1417295086&sr=1-5&keywords=triple+monitor+stand to fit the new monitors? If i do go the new monitors and new stand route, think there's a market for my old setup? I'm also still using a Digital TH2Go since I've had one forever. My video card can do surround without it but i have it so i've been using it. Is there any benefit to using one of these still over nVidia's Surround? Or should i try selling that too? Thanks for reading this somewhat lengthy post. |

Ugh.. to throw in an extra variable, i'm also considering scrapping the whole thing in favor of one of these http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JR6GCZA/ref=psdc_1292115011_t2_B00JR6GBHO LG UM95 34UM95 34-Inch 21:9 3440x1440. Anyone care to chime in about going from 3x1 to a single 21:9 ? |
