If I were to buys dual GTX 760's would I be able to run 2 monitors, one used for Battlefield or DayZ with 60fps 1080p or more while still running a recording program on the other monitor? It is using an Avermedia Game Capture HD so it doesn't use up too much of the computers capability.

If you're going to buy 2 760's, just buy a single 780. Much easier to deal with, and will do what you want. Just keep in mind BF4 is horribly optimized, so you will see problems with any system.

Sir, you did not answer any of my questions. I didn't want recommendations. I wanted answers, and by the way if you haven't noticed, every game has 10-20 extra frames per second using dual 760's then a titan my friend. Plus it is really simple to set up to be quite honest with you... And if you don't believe me basically every computer benchmark site brags about how powerful dual gtx 760's. So can you please answer my questions about dual monitor setups?

I never said the dual 760's are bad, I simply said it's better to go a single better card than 2 weaker cards. If you play a game that doesn't support SLI you will get single 760 level of performance.

And if you know so much about the dual 760's, you would know that they are more than capable of doing that. You can ask anyone on here, a single stronger card is always recommended.

Ok thanks sir! I read my last post and I sounded a bit like an ass... But yeah will a 780 run dual monitor with say DayZ on one and avermedia recording program on the other? Thanks! :)

It kinda struck me like that at first, but I figured you weren't trying to come off that way lol

Anyway, yes, that will do great! I have DayZ set to mostly Very High/High and get about 50fps at 1080p on my 760, the 780 would be more than capable.

And I recommended the 780, because if in the future you wanted to add another card, 2 780's will be better than 4 760's, as SLI scaling drops after the second :)  Plus, for now, you will have less power usage and less heat with a single 780 compared to SLI 760s
