With all these CPU dependent games out there, those 6-cores are looking tempting.

I wish I knew beforehand. :lupe: At least I have a mobo that can accommodate them in the future if/when I decide to upgrade.

I was thinking too old school. Thinking I could overpower games in 3 monitors with sheer GPU power. Now it's looking like CPUs are becoming more and more important.

I blame watchdogs for this shyt.

Edit: but now I'm reading games don't even use 6 cores. There is no solution then I guess :to:
breh what you are trying to achieve requires an extreme processor and a quad sli/crossfire setup all overclocked and tweaked to the max...I would try to come down to earth a little...

DX12 and mantle are supposedly all about using multiple cores efficiently. Some people have speculated this will be a huge improvement for PC games.

It makes sense if you think about it, advances for cpu's have been adding more cores. Games still only use one or two cores. If they start using all 6 it'll be a huge jump in power.

So I received the Antec ISK600...this case is a little too big for a Mini-ITX, but I am going to ride with it.

I'm trying to get better performance than with my previous setup. I have all new components. I expect increased performance. I'm getting that in some games, but not all. I have reasonable expectations for a 4820k and 2 780tis. I'm gonna get what I paid for (and what I should be getting). 3 monitors isn't that far off from 1440p (pixel count wise), and people use that all the time (so no, I shouldn't need quad sli and an extreme processor).

I've been having problems with my shyt. I've been asking for help for weeks. Could be win 8, could not be. I'm trying to eliminate all hardware possibilities while I'm still under my Frys 90 day warranty.

So, given that this is the pc gamer thread and we got knowledgeable individuals here, I'm gonna continue to ask questions and for help.

I answer other people's questions and help out where I can, and it's nice that people are trying to help me.

We're all trying to get our systems to be the best they can be. I'm unfortunately not there yet.

You should really take these type of issues to somewhere like OCN. No one here can relate to your set up while over there your shyt is childs play.

Yeah, good idea. I think I'm gonna create a profile over there. I need a more dedicated PC gamer oriented forum for these things I guess. Although we do have some good people here, you're right not many can relate to my shyt on here.

Yeah, your issue may be as simple as a driver bug in surround after a certain version, but no one here will know since you're pretty much the only one here running 5760x1080.
