New graphics card for triple monitor

[mrlizard]

Hi all,

I have had a look at a couple of threads and have contacted overclockers directly but just wondering if anyone can give me their opinion on the following.

Currently have a 580GTX overclocked which does a great job on one monitor but I would like to run three for racing games primarily. From what I can see the 580 wont work so i will need a 680 or above (suggestions?) I will also require 3 monitors, or would need to go to eyefinity?

24" monitors would be fine, budget would be about £1200 + anything i might be able to get back from my 580gtx...

BTW 680 was replaced by the 770's if you looking new

i will be looking new yes. much difference between the 770 and 780?

A 290 or a 780 would do a decent job for eyefinity/surround

 

[mrlizard]

Any preference between the two? eyefinity or surround?

any advice on monitors?

Deffo would stretch to 290 or 780. You wouldnt want to be wanting for grunt on a surround set up.

290 would be my first choice mainly because i like the features and a second one can be nabbed really cheaply on second hand markets even now. So if you want to grab a second down the line, it wouldn't exactly be an expensive investment.

Monitor wise... REALLY REALLY THIN BEZEL. If you find a monitor which has no bezel, even better!
