Hey guys!
I've been out of the loop on GPUs for some time, and was wondering if you could help me select a video card for running 3 monitors. I am due to order 3 of these and I'm wanting a graphics card powerful enough to run BF3 @ 5760x1080 at a decent framerate and a reasonable level of detail. I also have a 42" 1080p TV that i'd like to plug in to this GPU for windows media centre, but this will not be in use whilst gaming.
My current spec is:
-Intel Q9400 @ 3.2GHz
-4GB DDR2 RAM (soon to be 8GB)
-Gigabyte G33M-DS2R
-Nvidia 8800GT (soon to be gone!
)
-600W PSU (soon to be 1kW)
I really do not want to upgrade my current mobo/cpu/ram, as it's very capable for what it is, but the gpu is definitely long in the tooth and ready to go. I was looking at an ATI 6990, but I heard it makes an awful racket and i'm not sure if this is serious overkill?
any advise would be appreciated!
EDIT: I accidentally a few words
