scottb613 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Hi Folks, New around here - been thinking of giving up my beloved 4:3 monitors for a wide screen to get more peripheral vision in DCS... I was thinking about trying this ASUS product with a - really - wide aspect ratio... Has anyone tried this model and does it work well with DCS ? I'm sticking to a single monitor solution but I want one that works well with DCS - any thoughts or suggestions ? My current specs: Intel Core i7-2700K Sandy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623i72700K GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H-WB LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 EVGA 025-P3-1579-AR GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) HD 2560MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card Noctua NH-C12P SE14 140mm SSO CPU Cooler PC Power and Cooling Silencer Mk II 750W High Performance 80PLUS Silver SLI CrossFire ready Power Supply (2) SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC256B/WW 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) Western Digital WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit Regards, Scott
xaoslaad Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Im using the Asus PB287Q which is a 28" 4k monitor. It works well, but frame rates can be a bit all over the place even with 2x970 in SLI. 120 fps one moment, less than 30 depending what's going on. I'd consider at least one right now for 2560x1080. Maybe even for 1.5 as I dont think the 570 is a DX11 card, but time will tell on future performance.
PureEvil Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I dont think the 570 is a DX11 card it is DX11 card STEAM asus p8z68-v gen3, 2600k@4,5ghz(w/c), 16gb, 1080ti(w/c), ch fighterstick/gvl224-4000-8, ch pro throttle, Oculus Rift CV1+Touch, thrustmaster tx
xaoslaad Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Maybe I was thinking 11.1 (which shouldn't matter) or something; but anyway I stand corrected.
scottb613 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Posted August 5, 2015 Thanks for the info guys... I guess I was concerned that the ultra wide wouldn't offer enough height to the view.... Regards, Scott
