what kind of system to run the eyefinity bundle

budget is iffy atm depends on how things go/how many old components can be sold.


two 670's though seems mighty expensive :o
 
looking around the interwebs a few places say a pair of 7970 3gbs are better because they have higher memory bandwidth than the 670 4gb(384 instead of 256) despite slgihtly lower over all memory. true or Bs?

Is there any major difference in support fro maMD/nvidia for multimonitors or 3d if either significantly better than the other or does either suffer from problems in multi card/multi monitor setups?


and what would you say for cpu/ram/mobo?

I gave eyefinity a try last year when bf3 came out. Was on a phenom 2 x4 with 2 6850's. Ran med settings at about 63 fps at the same res. Got board with it on the end. Gives you an idea of the minimum specs u need to run it

whyd you get bored with it ?
 
hmm normally i use my 24" benq monitor to game on but at the same time use a crappy 17" crt by the side to watch tv on at the same time (yes i have the same attention span as a...oo look a bunny!) but 3 monitors does sound good especially as my old benQ is getting ****ed up (lots of screen burn/dark patches).


I wonder if it's better just getting 2 and basically upgrading my current set up to 2 identical monitors.

Did you find any issues with ATi drivers/catalyst and multi monitors?

also has anyone tried these monitors and got anything to say about the 3d?
 
so would the 3d kit/glasses in the op work with nvidia fine or does nvidia need thier own stuff?
