Tri Screen Question.

Skepticx · 22 Aug 2011 at 09:48

Looking to go triple screen at some point in the future, was wondering what i should have to support it? Currently have a nvidia gtx 460.

And 3 screens 22/24 inch good quality and rather cheap, anyone know if this exists ?

Cheers

to get good fps at that sort of res you will probably need sli 560/570/580 as for screens preferably screen with thin bezels

Skepticx, whatever you get you definately need at least 2 GPU's in SLI to game over 3 monitors.

A single Nvidia GPU won't run 3 monitors.

So at least a pair of single GPU cards or a dual GPU card like the GTX 590.

Next month i should be upgrading to dual cards, questioning dual radeon 6950s + PSU that is if my wallet can take the hit.

Any ideas on the monitors. Looking to spend about £400 - £500 on the screens, quality over size.

The big question is, do you really need it? Eyefinity/Surround isn't really that great. You could get two big screens and be happy with just those. It's really one of those things that is all "omg this is awesome" for about a month then it wears off.
