3 x ASUS Rog Swift running in Surround... How ?

Jaynos · 12 Dec 2014 at 13:57

I'm looking to upgrade my sim racing rig from benq 144hz monitors at 5760x1080p to 3 ASUS Rog Swifts.

Questions:

- The Rog Swifts only have 1 display port input, does this mean i will need THREE separate graphics cards as my current GPU only has 1 display port output. Using DL DVI to DP cables won't cut it as that only supports 60hz. I need 144hz on all three monitors.

- Does Nvidia Surround support Gsync ? last time i checked a few months back it didn't

You could use an EVGA DP MST Hub or the one from Club 3D. IIRC it supports up to 1440p. I used it previously with 3 x U2414H into a single DP Port on a 290x (The built-in Dell DP MST was flakey)

Ports aside - you're going to need to be running at least 970's or 980's to make use of the 144hz at that res, depending on the game.

IIRC some models of GTX980/970 have more than one DP, however to push that many pixels you will want 3 GPU's anyway (I tried it with Tri Titans and got decent results, but newer games would tax even that setup)

(that hub won't work)

but yes, gsync surround is now working;

Gonna need more than 1 GPU realistically for that res anyhow and there are a fair few cards with dual DP.

Some of the 980s, etc. have 3x DP out.
