"Hi Im new here" ....i was told to start such a thread after registering, so there you-go!
..I have a couple of quick technical questions about SH5.
I've been playing Sims ,since sims began in the 80's and have followed the SH series since SH3 (wonderfull game), decided to introduce my first mod with SH4, it was one of the super mods, and i was more than a little impressed with the overhaul!!
Prefering the Atlantic to the Pacific, and eagely awaiting the full U-boat open to walk around, I purchased SH5 apon release, and before even unrapping it, i shelved it while i ripped apart my study/PC room....after hearing about its poor condition at release, i've been i no great hurry to un-rap.
I've just (finally) completed my study and am ready to move my PC in...and with the sea of mods now available, im ready to take the plunge (puns intended).
But just before i do, im treating myself to an upgrade of both G-card and monitor, and here lie'th the questions......
I was considering buying a 24" IPS monitor 1920x1200, which would be nice. But im having trouble justifying buying it over my very decent 20" monitor, due to the fact its not that big an increase in size.
Thats when i discovered how good a near U-boat size Dell 27" (U2711) would look, native res 2560x1440. My concern is, it has a somewhat unusal resolution and a very high price tag approx £800.
I would hate to purchase one only to find SH5 does not support this resolution, any help here?
Also, with G-cards in mind, can anyone confirm that SLI or Crossfire does actually work with SH5, as im considering this a possibility, though i've never used more than one card previously.
Thanks in advance for any reply's, and might i add what a magnificent site this is.....Silent hunters only hope.
