3 monitors - will it work?

[aspirins]

Subject to a new graphics card (suggestions?).. will this cope playing games over 3 monitors? Say WOW as an example..

4gb ram
HD 4850
Corsair 450W PSU
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L Intel P35 mb
Q6600

Thanks

there are 2 ways of running 3 monitors.
1. Ati Eyefinity
2. nVidia Surround

1. To play WOW with a nice frame rate in EyeFinity you'll probably need a 5850 at least,
PSU requirements for a 5850 are:

500 Watt or greater power supply with two 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors

2. To use nVidia Surround you need 2 cards running in SLi which your board doesn't support.

So in theory you'd need a new PSU & Graphics Card. depends how much ££ you have.

Wow is cpu dependant so I think an hd 5770 should be fine for 3 monitors. The questions is can your cpu handle it
