Greetings Hardware experts and aficionados,
I really want to go the route of 3 monitors for my system. I'm currently running two but I have never done any SLI configuration before so I figured to come and get some feedback.
Presently I am running an ASUS Maximus Extreme IV (R.3) with an ASUS ENGTX560 TI.
I have the option of buying another ASUS ENGTX560 TI but I was considering going the route of upgrading my graphics card to two GTX 660s since it would be a pretty significant upgrade. It does throw an extra $200 in the mix for the 2 cards I would need, but it would mean a clear upgrade.
I was reading the best gfx card for the money march issue and noticed the PowerColor's HD7870 PCS+ which is also in the same price range. (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/tahiti-le-7870-7930-benchmark,3401.html)
I'm not a big fan of Radeon but if its at the same pricepoint and I'll get better performance with the 3 monitor system over the 660, I wouldn't be opposed to it.
---
The alternate monitors are for utility where the primary monitor (a nice 27") is for gaming. I don't want to negatively impact gaming performance for the sake of a 3rd monitor but I'm definitely set on needing / wanting 3 monitors in total without a loss of gaming performance.
Considering my Motherboard capabilities and my current graphics card, what good suggestions do any community experts have for me.
I appreciate anyone that can take the time to review this and give me some solid feedback.
