Nice. I am actually grinding for new components to be able to play FO4. Over 2/3s of the way there towards an i7 6700k, mobo, and RAM.

Get an I5 for gaming.

if your just gaming and not rendering videos, get the i5 6500k instead and save some money on a better video card. Also to be able to do this on 4 monitors I got 2 GTX 980ti in sli

my per hour on these endors seems terrible I fail at turking...and also life

 

[Pleco]

multiple monitors are great, I can be playing FO4 and watching HS as well as the forum at the same time

Which settings do you use for this? Because I had HS on one monitor and Fallout 4 on the other, but HS and TM would look frozen while I was playing the game.

Just a guess, you might need it in borderless instead of fullscreen mode.

your video card is probably not strong enough, see my above post on how I'm able to do this

I do this too and windowed borderless is usually my preferred setting, but the game needs to be running in the monitor's native resolution in order for elements on the other screens to display properly.

Just my 2 cents on the i5 v i7 chat--

Agree to go with the i5. The i7 makes a great talking point if you have nerdy friends or people who understand computers beyond the power button, but in terms of gaming, you won't see much difference between the two... not for the difference it'll make in your wallet. The primary difference between the two is hyper threading technology, and that's something that isn't really utilized by most games yet, and hasn't been.

I got capped at those fairly quickly today, after about 150.

Did you do 350 yesterday? Because it kept throwing up false caps, you should have been able to get close to 500.

Really....? Then why are all the Twitch streamers running i7's? If you're right, that's great news. Saves me $100 and lets me buy it this week.

Catfish, you skimped $100 on the processor, but spent $1200 on 2 video cards? BTW, what do you play on 4 monitors?

Yes, I believe I did, somewhere around there.

They run I7's because it is better for encoding video and streaming, but for the individual who is just gaming, the I5 will provide the same experience for cheaper

Only play on the Dell 34" curved

I stream on an i5 just fine; they're streaming on i7's because they stream for $$ (i.e. it's their primary source of income and they may have sponsorship)

I think an R9 380x should be able to pull it off considering these are 1080p monitors.

So I am wondering how much my video card will hold me back once I upgrade to an i5 and 16gb of RAM. I am currently running a Geforce GTX 950 2GB.

Never said I use the i5 ( I do have one for the home media server). My motherboard allows for 4 sli slots but it cost over 300 bucks back when I bought it and requires a full tower case. All and all I think I probably got over 4 grand in this computer, not including the monitors

Thats actually a decent card, you will be fine running most games at high settings

Good. Tired of dropping in the cities in H1Z1 and it getting all choppy. I think that's mostly because my lack of RAM though, only running 6gb of DDR 2 .
