I was thinking of the 970 as a good upgrade for me (650 currently), my 
PSU might disagree though. Gigabyte do one with 3x displayports which 
would work if I ever upgraded to 3x gsync monitors. I wonder how much 
GPU umph the rift needs compared to monitors?

That's a good idea.

The bezels are annoyingly different though (one has a big thick 
transparent plastic bit around it), I was thinking I might take them off 
somehow, but again one of them doesn't have VESA mounts on the back so 
it would be a bit of a project. IIRC for the nVidia surround to work 
they need to be the same resolution and refresh rate, but you can use a 
program called softth if you want to use mismatched monitors.

Yes that it pretty much how the flame wars start on the iRacing forums.

:-) The best voice recognition I've seen is on my phone, it seems like 
it is possible to use the Google speech-to-text API but doesn't look 
officially supported and you need to hack about with API keys etc.
