    Asus Eyefinity Card

    I've started my incremental upgrade process and this is my first purchase:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121371

    How much performance increase in y'alls opinion will it give me with my current rig?
    My next purchase will be the processor and motherboard. Advice welcomed on those also.
    I like Intel stuff, never had any AMD stuff.
    ASUS SABERTOOTH Z97 MARK1 LGA 1150 Intel Z97
    Intel Core i7-4790K Haswell Quad-Core 4.0GHz
    Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced - High Air Flow Full
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X
    DirectCU II R9280-DC2T-3GD5 Radeon R9 280 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready
    EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified 1000W

    These are the test results from the last two weeks at TechCorp:

    Paul these are the results of a couple of weeks of testing:

    FASTEST VIDEO CARD- ATI PowerColor AX5870 1GB DDR5 VRAM 256 bit interface
    EVGA 015-P3 1480 GeForce GTX 480 1536 MB 384 bit interface
    EVGA 012-P3 1470-AR GeForceGTX 470 1280GB VRAM 320 bit interface


    MOST RELIABLE VIDEO - ATI PowerColor AX5870 1GB DDR5 VRAM 256 bit interface
    NVidia MSI N460 GTX Cyclone 1GB DDR5 VRAM 256 bit interface

    Overall best performance ATI PowerColor AX5870 1GB DDR5 VRAM 256 bit interface

    MSI N460 GTX Hawk 1GB DDR5 VRAM 256 bit interface- this card
    was the best performer of all the cards when OC'd to 900mhz and still
    ran reasonably cool
    MSI N460 GTX Cyclone 1GB DDR5 VRAM 256 bit interface

    ATI still doesn't look that great in FSX VCs
    The EVGA GTX 480 FERMI may seem like overkill but it is a BEAST!
    The Cyclone while fast at stock speeds took up too much room with that HUGE FAN
    The problem with all the EVGA 470s was screen freeze-ups and black screen-it some tweaking to get them to perform properly
    Very impressed with twin MSI N460s Hawks-even one OC'd to 900mhz was incredible

    If you want Eyefinity you must use AMD ATI. It works as advertised and great with Track IR

    These were all run on the same configuration CPU, motherboard, memory, and power supply.

    ASUS TUF series Sabretooth X58 motherboard-Outstanding performance and very hard to damage in overclocking

    Memory was 6GB OCZ Blade DDR3 Triple channel CAS Latency 7

    Power supply was the BFG ES800...quiet cool and stabel

    CPU was the Intel i7 980X...absolutely outstanding CPU even stock...we did OC it to 4.0Ghz however!

    My pleasure sir, these were tests run for few guys like yourself wanting to upgrade. I had posted this info and just added some since you asked about the system as well. That ASUS Sabretooth is a sweetheart motherboard. We were all impressed.
