4k is all the rage got 4k movie pictures 4k gaming pictures 4k screen savers 4k small hamsters running on wheels in my basement to power the machine that I'm planning to do actually I probably shouldn't talk about that you know what screw 4k anyway I'm over 4k I'll see your 4k and I'll raise you 1k to 5k and then I'll sweeten the pot with two NVIDIA GTX Titan X graphics cards and SLI and well I guess you probably see where this is headed now 5k Titan X SLI performance baby fractal design listens and the define are five case was made with feedback from you the community click right there to learn more about that so let's start with a quick recap of the Titan X just so we're all on the same page it's a thousand dollars and outperforms the previous fastest single GPU card on the planet the GTX 980 by anywhere from 25 to 40 percent or more it's also got a massive 12 gigabyte gddr5 frame buffer that I and probably many other reviewers and gamers are looking at going okay that's cool but why and other than because we can the best answer that I can come up with is the same one that prompted Nvidia to put six gigs of RAM on the original Titan at the time when the highest end gaming cards had two to three being ready for higher resolutions and higher quality textures in the future but the future is a long way away and I might be dead by then so forget waiting we still haven't gotten around to sending back the Dell u P 27 15 K 5 K yes 50 120 by 2880 14 freaking megapixel monitor so when the Titan X rolled in the first thing I said was well can you send me another one so I can run SLI on this 5k display and video was like know what this is like the coolest thing ever and you're saying no well they stuck by there no and so when that whole attempt didn't work for me the instant I got that email I started calling everyone I knew and within a few minutes EVGA stepped up and overnighted their Titan X card to us so we could try out the future of high resolution gaming to let you guys know all about it so I'm going to hand off to Luke to give you the rundown on the 5k Titan X SLI gaming experience and thank you EVGA because holy this is awesome this was my first time playing on 5k on a proper display and it's a wondrous thing to behold due to the Titan X's SLI performance I was able to smoothly run games at an average of 50 fps and above while getting nowhere close to the 12 gigabyte frame buffer and not even being overclocked with settings for most games sitting at Ultra or equivalents my FPS counter never did below 44 minimums on any of my benchmarking runs and Crysis 3 the only game that I didn't run at max settings could have actually had it settings cranked to the max as well if I was willing to sacrifice some FPS but I kind of thought that if you're spending two grand on your graphics cards that you're probably going to want a better experience than 30 FPS gaming please note that the default sli profile for shadow of mordor is a little wonky on its own and I would recommend following we'd drunk UNS guide on the steam community forums on how to easily fix this issue I was having quite a few problems with really awkward frame rates before using this fix and even at relatively low settings but after this fix everything was super smooth and if super smooth is something that you're looking for all this pretty much actually sums up the whole experience it's pretty awesome being able to jump into a fairly hard to run game at a massive resolution make no settings compromises and still run at a beast frame rate speaking of performance things ting provides their customers with affordable and reliable wireless coverage they claim that their pay only for what you use model would save 98 percent of people money on their monthly cell phone bill but you don't have to take their word for it if you head over to Linus ENCOM you can try out their savings calculator where you get to enter the information from your last three Wireless bills letting them know what you used and what you paid and then they'll be able to tell you how much you would have saved if you were on ting they have amazing customer service since employee people actually pick up the phone where you'll get humans picking up the phone instead of robots and they let everyone know that their service runs on the Sprint network so if you check how Sprint coverage is in your area you'll know what kind of service you'll receive with ting and now they've opened up gsm compatibility to their now iPhone 6 or 6 plus will work on their network but
