This might have been already asked before, somewhere.. but hear me out. :lol:

I've been planning on getting a 3 monitor setup for quite some time now. I'm planning on getting 2 addition monitors @ 1366x768. Yeah. It's quite cheap, I know. But I'm on a budget right here. :wahoo:

My question is, what video card would be enough to run such a setup? I've been looking at the GTX 660 Ti (haven't seen any 760s here in my country) but would that be enough? Or do I need to SLI/Crossfire for this? I'm looking forward to playing at least at high settings with the current- and next-gen games (not necessarily maxed out, just enough eye candy) and I'm fine with hitting 30 FPS since I don't really play online and stuff.

You will be fine it will work pretty well I run 3 1080 monitors on a single 670 with settings mostly on high sometimes higher (Dirt series Max settings) sometimes lower (Crysis 3 ect.) so go for it.

with nvidia cards you can just setup a triple monitor system using any of the ports on the card i do believe but the performance will not be great, you will most likely need sli which requires 2 monitors on the primary card and the third on the secondary card.

Owfh, is that so? :??: Even at that lower resolution? Errr.

What if I bump it up to a GTX 670? Or a cheaper HD 7950? :lol: I'm trying to avoid going SLI/Crossfire as much as possible but if there's no other way to do it then I guess I'll just have to go get it. :lol:

At that resolution, the monitors have to be ancient and are going to have huge bezels and look like crap trying to game on. For multi-monitor gaming, you need the thinest bezel possible. I'd wait and save and 1 nice big screen.

Now if it's 3 screens for just working, then that's different, but gaming, meh, I wouldn't even bother with those screens.

Haha! That's quite fine with me. I'm fine with playing from what would seem like the inside of a prison cell. :lol:



Great! :wahoo: Thanks, for all your help, guys. :)
