All this talk about guns reminded me of an encounter me and my brother had last night with a man that lives in our street. He comes up to us and says "I know that you and your sister shoot pigeons." Me and my brother look at each other confused "what?" we both thought it was some kind of metaphor, but he was serious and continues "I've seen you, at 5 am shooting pigeons.." me and my brother at this point have a wtf face "but I have to say you're good at it, you can actually hit them reliably...but it's bad, next time I see you two shooting I'm calling the police."
WTF?! Shooting pigeons?! AT 5 AM?!?!

I have issues on default. My framerate drops to 10-15 and to me that is unacceptable in an FPS. (I gotta have a framerate of atleast 45 in an FPS for smoothness) I haven't tried BF3 on surround yet. Maybe I'll reinstall it and try.

btw a lot of games are not ment to be played in Widescreen, but there is a group at http://www.wsgf.org/ that have a program to help games run in large resolutions.

Skyrim can not play triple monitor without it for instance.

Sounds about the same for me. Sans the last part. My non-existant love life is just me being mostly reclusive. Hopefully this new job of mine will pull me out a bit. :|

Yeah, I mean I've always been introverted and a bit of a shut in. The way people were in school just kinda reinforced that to the nth degree. I haven't changed all that much in that regard, but luckily I've at least combated my latent depression and dissatisfaction with being single.

Exactly the same for me. High School was hell. I didn't enjoy much (only band, really) of it at all. Didn't get picked on or anything, but nearly everyone I encountered irritated me to no end with how immature they were. And so I kept my head down and did my best to ignore them. Ended up with very few friends. None of whom I got very close to and lost contact with all of them.

As for being single... It's probably best that I am at this point. No matter how much I'd love to have a significant other.

... As does my Mom. And Grandma. Being the oldest of your generation sucks. Everyone expects children from me first. And quickly.

Funny thing is my desire is to an extrovert, but my anxiety forbids me from doing so.

Honestly yeah... at this point in time I'd offer anyone who's serious about upgrading their PC the advice of going with a Kepler GPU, and in that I'd tell them to buy a 670 or two. 680 is plain unnecessary for the $100 increase in price, you lose a miniscule amount of performance after you overclock the 670 a bit, and 690 is for those who really want shiny toys.
Or someone who just wants their 2 chips on one board.
That was my case at least.
The x58 saber-tooth has limited space between it's PCIx16's so to avoid heat issues I chose the 590 over 2x 570's.

I suppose. In the case of the 600 series though, you're paying a surplus of about $200~ or so for that.

I've never used a dual GPU card, does it let you switch one on and one off or set one of the chips to be a dedicated physX platform like normal SLI? Or does it function as one card would?

Skyrim can not play triple monitor without it for instance.

For the cost it'd take to have the video card capacity to run in panoramic as well as the multiple monitors, I think I'm simply better off getting a nice single 40"+ screen with one high capacity card to run a single instance in native resolution.

I can just keep my little 24" on the side for browsing and dual boxing FFXI and other random tidbits while the main action is on the big screen.

my card runs hut with two monitors on it, I need to reapply the thermal paste on it eventually so I'm hoping that helps it out.


I do need to also upgrade my motherboard, CPU, ram and case as well eventually the only new thing in my PC right now is my 560 Ti lol.

Or you can do what Swifty does, and run 3, 42 inch monitors in a 4SLI case!

I'd believe it if the pidgeons were called Sagi.

If I was sponsored and had disposable income, sure. But I have to practice pragmatism to some degree when looking at upgrading my PC.
For now I'm happy with a dual screen setup. One big main, one smaller side for viewable information/entertainment while having the primary objective on the main screen.

I'm the same way at the moment, since I have no job I can't spend what saving I have and living off of at the moment. When I do get a job, I'll be putting aside money that doesn't go into 'food, bills, ect' to start building my awesome PC.
