Hello OCUK,

I'm on a budget of EUR250-300 and am looking for suggestions on a single gpu best for a dual monitor setup (Double 1680x1050 or 1920x1080)

I'm wondering also will this hinder my performance by a lot in gaming if I run this setup? I mostly play mmorpgs.

I'm a noobie when it comes to this dual monitor setups :(
 
I would say the GTX560Ti which is very powerful and costs around £200 for a good version of one, especially either the Gainward Phantom or Golden Sample versions.

The 6950 is around the same price and more power than the 560 and the ATI EyeFinity software is great for dual or triple screen set ups.
 
Cleeecooo!!! HEY DUDE!!!

Erm, that is true actually, I think he just wants to set up 2 monitors, but you can do that on any card thats decent these days.

You can only game on 3 monitors using the EyeFinity and similar Nvidia software. I just read up on it. I am so dumb today, I am sure I left my brain in bed!

You do know that you can't game on both monitors right?

Sure you can, it will just use the res of the smaller res screen. It will look stupid though as your gun/car will be smack bang in the middle of the screen join :) So yeah pointless but you can game on two if you wanted to test it. I did just for laughs on bc2.

Lol, that's why people generally say you can't. Technically, you can, but realistically, you can't do it practically ;)
