lazduc Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I researched all the info I could find and read all your comments. The Haswell platform will only get me an insignificant boost over what I currently have. I determined for my own use that I will purchase two Nvidia 780's. The will be about twice as fast as my 2 580's. My current cpu is a 2600K on a asus deluxe board. I know that the cpu will be the bottleneck in some software titles....DCS does not take advantage of my current system....With the 780's all I will have to replace is the mother board and cpu and possibly memory, when a more advanced cpu becomes available. I am also waiting for the New Edge engine. I purchased several titles at the sale and will install them this comming week along with the video cards....which arrived yesterday. Lazduc :D
Rangi Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 fair enough, but the 2x 780s will not make any difference at all over the 2x580s for DCS on your system. PC: 6600K @ 4.5 GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX 970, 32" 2K monitor.
lazduc Posted July 5, 2013 Author Posted July 5, 2013 This was to follow up on my previous post. What I have decided on new hardware. These cards will run other software that will take advantage of their additional charcteristics. lazduc
