No offense but none of those benchmarks are convincing me to go out today and buy a 7990, 690 or a Titan. Maybe if I ran triple display I'd be tempted, but even the lowest cards shown perform well at 1920x1080 or at my normal resolution, 1920x1200. It can't just be the games, can it? If you chalk it up to a simple desire to be on the bleeding edge, I can accept that, but it sounds like you've got other things going on with it and that the games are just icing on the cake. Wanna talk about it?
It is very hard to get acceptable framerates for 120Hz. I am tired of having to play at low or maybe perhaps medium settings. Ended up rather not playing at all then. Games change, today it is arma, tomorrow it is metro last light, day after that it is again something completely else... you get the idea. I want to play whaterver I care at decent settings at excellent framerate, this is preferably as close to 120FPS as possible.
And before someone starts about the 120Hz, well it is just so much better for gaming I won't be looking back to 60Hz screens anymore. I have triple 1920x1200 IPS DELLs for work...
I am developer of everything. Analog hardware (nanometer and discrete), digital hardware (fpga, asic), software (C/C++/JAVA/HTML/Android SDK(JAVA). And platforms composed of these kind of modules. Simulating a small XXnm piece of analog hardware for example can take many hours. Last thing you want a developer to do is wait for PC half the workday.
