2560x1440 resolution

[Stublerone]

Quite good rig, when u left out your graphics card.

And for this I do not know enough to say, how much frames u get. All other parts are good for sure and the fact, that u have a ssd and the fact that u have enough vram on your card should help u as well .

I can just guess, but you won't have a problem to run it one such a screen. Perhaps you should try to overclock your cpu to avoid him to become the bottleneck. It should be an easy overclock to 4.2 with air cooling. The current intels are easy going into this region. Just have a look, that one core isn't running on 100%. Than u can be quite sure that he is not limiting your performance. I cannot give you a hint on a real number when the cpu limits and at which GHz raw performance it is solving the problem in your configuration and your resolution. But here are some guys, who were more into detail in suuch a topic. Perhaps these guys can precise it for you.

thak you very much for your advises, but i still don't know what to think about buying such a screen according to my configuration. I did not know my graphic's card could be a bottleneck in such spec ( it was a quite expensive component last year ). I know i would get better and shaper images with a 2560x1440 resolution screen but if i become stutters i don't want to buy another graphics card ( a new single card or by adding a second GTX 580 wich cost 600 euros and induce all performances problems with SLI drivers and clod).Any ideas how my pc would run in maxed out settings ? Thanks in advance.

I think you have a very good rig and your video card is one of the best thanks to its 3Gb VRAM (which is usualy the most common reason for low fps in CoD) so, my first answer would be yes, you have one of the best rigs to run CoD at this resolution.

Do not even think about SLI and CoD. It is a waste of money (unfortunately).

Hi U505

Do you play in 2560x1440 now, i would love to know what frame rates you get with that 3gig card.

I get very low fps with my gtx 580 1.5 gig, in 2560x1440 and looking to get a new graphics card.

My specs:

Intel Core i7 Quad Processor i7-2600K 3,4ghz
ASUS Maximus IV Extreme B3, Socket-1155
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 12gig
Corsair SSD 115GB
ASUS GeForce GTX 580 1536MB PhysX CUDA
Dell u2711 2560x1440 27" monitor

[U505]

no sorry i don't play with that resolution. I play now in 1900x 1200 and look to buy a 2560 x 1440 screen for christmas or before

[foxl]

Ok, then i can recomend te dell u2711. im very happy with this screen. its only CLOD thats not happy with the resolution hehe.

Battlefield 3, starcraft 2, diablo, rise of flight they all do well and the picture this screen deliveres is amazing, its ips panel that deliveres very good colors, but it has a great amount og anti glare coating. But its only visible on bright background, and im used to it now but many dont like the screen because of it.

You are welcome Perhaps another guy with a 580 and 3 gb here? I cannot give u advice. Important is, that you run steam and clod on your ssd, but I think you know that. But I don't know, how much effect the resolution increase will have on your card. Sorry

But second big advice is just to overclock your cpu as clod is getting cpu bottlenecks fast. My i7 is currently running on 3,8 ghz and still sometimes bottlenecks. As you have new generation it would be very easy for you to reach 4 - 4,4 ghz without much knowledge of overclocking. Sometimes your mainboard helps you to achieve higher clocks easily too

I've been following this thread and if I can ask what problems specifically does CLOD have with this res? is just low fps or something else?

I ask as I'm getting a new 27" monitor at this res for my new computer, it's pretty a beasty rig with an overclocked 3930k and duel 680's but the 680's only have 2Gb of ram a piece, which might prove to be the bottle neck for CLOD, I'm on holidays atm so I cant test it all out myself.
I wish they would just release a proper SLI profile, I live in hope that the next Nvidea driver set will have CLOD listed in the new SLI profiles list.
fingers crossed.

Yeah, first you will have problems with sli as usual.

It has nothing to do with that specific res, but it is proven, that ati cards can maintain higher fps in higher resolutions and the nvidia cards are better able to max out the lower end of the fps, which can also be good. But higher resolutions mainly mean, that ati becomes better and better. And as you can see in all benchmarks, the 7970 is the fastest gpu and smashed nvidia this year by no doubt.

It is not only important, how big the vram on the card is, but also how fast the interface us. As far as I know a 660 only has 192bit interface, while ati has 384bit. It is double. And especially in the field of streaming engines, it has a clear advantage in shovelling data fast.

2gb cards at your res could be enough, but stuttering can be still a problem.

Also think of getting an ssd. It is worth it in my opinion. Not only for the game, but for overall rig perfirmance.

I spoke about even higher resolution. Triple screen setups demand so much, that an sli setup with 680's is simply too slow. It demands too much from a card, which is only on the market as quick solution against ati and not as a well planned card. That is, what makes me even more angry about nvidia this year. You get a quick shot card, which is underperforming. Kepler is good, but the rest of the card and the vram interface is just to laugh at. It is a big boy casual gamer card and not a core gamers choice.
