HI there, I have a strange dilemma. I'm now sitting at SB i5 some 32GB 1,6GHz RAM and a dual Crossfire 7970 GHz edition. At this moment, all I do seems fine. Except for I'm being bothered by AMD driver immaturity that crashes my desktop from time to time, actually all the time in several hours intervals.
I'm just trough with AMD at this moment and would like to switch to Nvidia for that and as added bonus I see that 780Ti offers some more juice than 7970GHz.
However, I'm looking forward to getting one of those 4K monitors (Dell, ASUS or Sharp) and was wondering but can't find any exact info if any of those cards available now can support future 4K? I remember seeing a poster for 290 series supporting "future 4K"...
Anyway: I'm tempted to replace my dual 7970GHz with:
2x 780Ti (roughly same price due to some form of exchange with my shop)
1x Titan Black (6GB of VRAM seems like a whole lot better for 4K and future-proof)
Nothing at all and wait.
How I see it:
The first solution (would be EVGA I think; think it is the best rated ATM compared to ASUS and Gigabyte) gives me much more speed but I'm not sure if 3GB VRAM is enough for 4K.
The second solution gives me security VRAM
Third option probably enables me to wait for Haswell CPU successor, and Maxwell flagship GPU and actually maybe DP 1.3/HDMI 2.0 and real 4K@60Hz.
I know 2x780Ti vs 2x7970GHz is a lot better for same price, but I'm puzzled at what to do:
Will current cards support new 4K monitors (that would make my Titan Black long-lifed)?
Will 11_0 DirectX level instead of 11_1 hurt longevity?
Is it premature to get current 4K screens (most probably yes)?
