July 26, 201213 yr Looks solid... like I wrote in another thread... I'd seriously look at a 240GB SSD for FSX. I'm on a mushkin 120 myself and it is really filling up... especially with Orbx and AI traffic... Oops one more thing - don't forget a CPU cooler...

H80/DH14/Hyper 212 whatever Thanks for the comments, ryan! Honestly, even back in the days when I used to install TONS of things for FSX, I never exceeded 64GBs in storage. In my specific case and FS needs, I think 128GB will be more than enough. =) As for the cooler, yea, I forgot about that. But it's ok, I can get it next week because I never overclock a new system until at least a few weeks have passed by. Old habits. haha Regards, Efrain RuizLiveDISPATCH @ http://www.livedispatch.org (CLOSED) ☹️
July 27, 201213 yr Author Commercial Member How do you connect 3 monitors to one card? Or will it be two cards? The card technically has 4 outputs. 2 DVI-D 1 HDMI 1 Display Port I will connect one monitor to each DVI-D and the third goes to the HDMI. If anyone is interested in buying a TripleHead2Go Digital Edition, I listed it in the Classifieds Forum. ;-) Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Regards, Efrain RuizLiveDISPATCH @ http://www.livedispatch.org (CLOSED) ☹️
July 27, 201213 yr Don't sell your Triple head to go before doing a compare (3 monitor setup with TH2G0 vs 3 monitor setup on the 670) and post those findings here. :) Manny Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter
July 27, 201213 yr Looking at the same MOBO, processor and GPU. Please share your performance findings when running. Michael Gadeberg
