Hey Tom's Hardware!

I had a quick question! Would a single GTX 780 be able to power 3 standard 1080p displays? Or (from what I am hearing) a GTX 760 in SLI is much better. I need something that can run 3 monitors, but at this moment I don't know if or when I am getting the monitors, so I don't want to get a bad card in SLI rather than getting a stronger, single card. What would your recommendations be? Maybe even Radeon in Crossfire?

What would I be getting in games with those cards and 3 monitors? I wouldn't expect it to be any over 40 FPS on nice settings. Probably less than 20 on Crysis 3...

How about something like Battlefield 4 or COD Ghosts? Also, would 3 way SLI be better in this case, so each monitor has it's own card?

At the moment I am not too enthusiastic about the 780 at this time with a $500 price tag, it seems the 290 will go head to head with it for $400. A set of 760 in SLI is a powerful set for sure and would play any game well.

Just something to think about, a 780GHz Edition is made by Gigabyte, it performs like a Titian, sweet for 3 screens in a single card solution. don't know the pricing or when it will be in the stores, I would guess around $600 and shortly after Nov 7th, when the 780Ti is released. Just something to think about if your not in a great hurry.

How about SLI 770? I was thinking about getting a Gigabyte OC 4GB Windforce Card and SLI that. What do you think? It would cost about as much as the 780TI
