Hmmmmm Skylake....

I upgraded to I think this is a haswell? Whatever is right before skylake. That was from a 6 year old laptop with an Nvidia 425M GPU. No regrets.

I am wondering why so many people are building game rigs and staying with 16:9 monitors when there is so much of a FOV improvement going to a 21:9 (1440p preferably).

If I was to upgrade my monitor today, it would definitely be 21:9 for gaming.

Personally, I have my gaming rig connected to our 46" TV, with a standard monitor on the side, for when the missus has her say.

Edit: Holding out for next gen graphics cards by Nvidia, and hoping my Haswell i5 will be enough for the Oculus launch.

I'm waiting for Oculus, but can't stop myself looking at larger 4k monitors and thinking "ooh 3 of those on a stand would be nice" with a fourth for Inara etc etc.
Then I look at my bank and it's back down to earth

I have yet to see any rig capable of running 3x4k monitors, unless you are planning to go something along the lines of four liquid cooled 980ti's or other levels of insanity.

Not that I'm not envious if you can afford it.

Personally I would rather look towards a singel 3360:1440 21:9 at about 36" it should do quite nicely and you don't need to sell half your liver and a kidney to pay for the rig to run it

That and multi screen gaming just brings to many bugs with it, I have never managed to get mine to fully synch and 16:3 aspect ratio just bugs out the fov on most games so even though I have had a trippel screen setup for almost six years I prefer gaming on the center monitor anyways, having another two for Netflix or whatnot is quite handy with games like Elite.

Anyhoo that's just my nickel.
