Hi looking to run eyefinity and run 3 monitors to game with. can anyone tell me a few cards that a cheap ish that have the display port.

Thanks for the replys . Thanks for being honsted i dont wana wast my money. my budget was £100 tho :/ so seems i was hoping alittle...

My monitors are 1680 x 1050 ??? im also upgradeing my power supply haha


are there any other ways to do it??? iv seen Matrox TripleHead2Go??? will this work with the g/cs i have now (xfx 9600 gso x2)

£100, i wouldn't bother
unless you can get 2 5850's second hand and crossfire them. That'll be fine

that looks do able lol , are there any other cards i can look at getting 2nd hand that will do that job???

 

[gary_auto]

on the 5850 does it matter what brand it is?

 

[gary_auto]

does anyone know why on some cards when it doesnt have a display port but says it can support eyefinity

also what about 5750 two of them??? Im not a mad gamer i only play games now and then and when i do i dont play high high graphics... i just think it would be cool to use 3 monitors when i do game lol greatfull for your help/input

also just found out that nvidia does there own aswell.

Nvidia does their own (surround). It requires 2 cards minimum though - which isn't an issue if you are planning to get 2 cards anyway.

If you don't mind running games at medium graphic settings, a 5870 or 5850 might work. People used single 5870's in eyefinity when the technology was first introduced, though i haven't tried it.

I am a nvidia guy at heart and i already have two cards running in sli. so would just be an upgrade for me. do you no what minimiu card spec i need to run nvidia

 

[gary_auto]

Ok im thinking to stick towards the nvidia

so im asking what the diffrence is between these and what one you would go for

XFX GeForce GTX 260+ 896MB
896MB of DDR3 Memory
590 MHz Core
1998 MHz Memory
448 Bit Memory Interface
216 Stream Processors

Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 896MB
896MB of DDR3 Memory
612 MHz Core
1998 MHz Memory
448 Bit Memory Interface
192 Stream Processors

Im leaning towards the xfx only because i have that at the moment so eaither way it will be an upgrade from my 9600gso also them are brande new and will be getting two of corse

 

[gary_auto]

XFX has more stream processors so go with that one. However, I would imagine the 896mb VRAM would limit the framerates by quite a bit.

What motherboard and power supply do you have?

EDIT: How about a second hand 460 1gb? Could stick with one and then add another when you get more cash? Is there no way of extending the £100 budget?

Thanks to buy them two cards would cost me £174 so i guess for the right cards i can strech the money. i think id rather stick to nvidia now tho...

asus crosshair formula 2 and just going to upgrade my power supply to a 700w or 1000w .

 

[gary_auto]
