Brehs need some advice on an ultrawide

Dell U3415W vs LG UC88-B

Occasional gaming, more so general use/movies/music/writing/etc.

Both get high reviews. I have the Dell monitor and I absolutely love it. I used to have three monitors, and the 34" Dell ultrawide 1440p monitor has completely changed that. I highly recommend it. It's 3K, if you're looking to game (so you need 2 high end GPUs [two 1080s slice through everything if you go that route]). I wrote my dissertation on a 3 monitor setup, but I think I could do the same on my new Dell ultrawide. I used to have my notes on the left monitor, my writing on the center monitor, and then a research paper in pdf on the right. That's probably the ideal writing situation, but I think I could manage on the Ultrawide Dell. shyt I got three shyts opened up right now, right next to each other (steam, coli, mediaplayer). There's overlap, which you won't get with 3 monitors, but it's nothing terrible.

Thanks bruh, I've been leaning towards the Dell.

I was planning to get the GTX 1070 for gaming, seeing as how I'm not a hard-core gamer. As long as it runs NBA 2k17, Modern Warfare Remastered, Battlefield 1 & CS: GO at all high settings then I'm content.

At all high, I doubt it. That's basically one Titan X (the old version). It should play everything you mentioned, but Battlefield 1, at high though. I'd go for the 1080 if I was you. That might be able to play Battlefield 1 at high. 3K is demanding. There's no way around it . On modern, graphically intensive games, you're looking at medium to high with just 1 1070

Maybe I should have re-worded it, as long as I can get 60+ FPS, should a 1070 be enough?

at medium to high settings, most likely. All high or ultra, I seriously doubt it with "modern" games, like Battlefield 1

I went to a bar and got drunk with some chef. I'm going to his place on Wednesday

After legit thinking I might die last night, my priorities have shifted a bit. I think I'm gonna game less and just keep my 1080s (and not sell them and get the Titan Ultimates). Maybe that'll change in a week (I never know with myself, being bipolar and shyt....lol). I focus too much attention on tech right now (obviously...). I'm gonna try to go out and meet more people and shyt. When you're thinking you're about to die, you think about the people in your life. I need more good people in my life.
Having all the latest tech and games and shyt means nothing when you're on your deathbed.

Like Dennis says in "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," I got this hole in my soul, which Dennis calls the God hole. He goes on to say he doesn't believe in God, so he tries to fill it with p*ssy. I'm agnostic, and I've tried to fill it with tech and shyt. It might be time to try and fill it with more meaningful shyt

Basically, have near death experiences, brehs.

I had a legit one when I was 18 and my left lung collapsed completely and my right lung was threatening to collapse at any second (they had to poke a hole in my side without anesthesia [which, let me tell you, feels terrible; it feels like being stabbed, because...well....you are]). I decided to fill my hole with trying to find the meaning of life. I found that shyt out already through a decade of very intense study (I call it absolute infinity, and have talked about it in great detail in TLR, if any of you are familiar). Maybe I'll fill my hole with good people (pause) and a good girl I can settle down with.

come into a Tech sub-forum to reveal existential experiences that have shifted your paradigm and still find a way to tie it back into Tech successfully brehs....

I drop some jewels here and there.

fukk my boring ass job though.....shyt, it's dumbed down substantially from my old shyt. But it's still only my first week. Let's hope it picks up.

don't even get me started on my current job situation...if i told you it would bring you to tears.

anyway, podcasts keep me sane while i work.
maybe you should try listening to something while your brain is not fully engaged.

keep dropping them gems.

"and when I felt my soul leave my body, the connection between the two was as as tight as a brand new molex adapter from monoprice.com"

"I often communicate with those from higher realms and let me tell you, the clarity there is like my triple 1440P korean IPS monitors "

 

[Spitta Andretti]

still using this BEAST of a sound system 12+ years later and it works like a charm.

Better than 99% of the shyt out on the market

Finally broke down and upgraded my system a bit. Decided against the Titan XP since I know a Ti will eventually arrive.
