Title is fairly straightforward - I have a Sapphire 7970 OC (http://bit.ly/VbVuZq) and Im wondering if it would be able to handle using one main 2650x1440 display, flanked by 2 1920x1080 displays.

Im wondering if anyone can comment on the performance in these 3 use cases:

1) Regular PC use (non-games)
2) Gaming (eyefinity)
3) Gaming (no eyefinity, just 2650x1440 display)


Just hoping to get a little feedback before I pull the trigger!

Thanks much!

the vertical resolution of your 2560x1440 display will be restricted down to 2560x1080 to match the resolution heights of the other displays which may look funny but it will work in single large display mode.

Ok, good to know - thanks! Not having Eyefinity isnt a deal-breaker for me, I like the idea of gaming on an 2650x1440 and then having two other lower res to "park" things while Im working. So that rules out question 2) and 3) thats ok -- Any commentary on 1)? Thats a seriously beast card but Im not an expert at this stuff. I just want to make sure it could push all that at once (under a 'desktop' working load, not games)

The extra two displays just showing a desktop and updating whats playing on iTunes or a Skype conversation are next to nothing for the graphics card. If you game on your 1 big screen and use the other two, it won't be a problem. You could probably game on 1 and have 9 other desktops going with minimal impact.

That card will do fine at that resolution for a lot of games. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/618
