Xfire or SLI for 3 monitors?

Hello,

I notice that AMD video cards currently have much more Vram than the Nvidia lines. Knowing the little I do, that makes me lean towards them as a better answer for 3 monitor support.

However, I've also heard that SLI is better quality than Xfire as far as stability/quality. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
 
yes... unless you're looking at a r9-290/290x xfire currently does not work for multiple monitors. That said it works fine and as good as SLi with the r9-290/290x.

Of course both of those cards are strong enough to work 3 monitors by themselves without xfire in most games. that said there are SOME games out there that would press them a bit at the highest settings.

I'm not sure what your referring too as Crossfire has been working with multiple monitors for a long time now
Initially when the 5000 series was released there was a long period of no crossfire support for multiple monitors but this was fixed a long long long time ago now and has been working perfectly since
