I have 3 HD monitors (1920x1080p) and i'm looking into a GTX 760 2GB, can it use 3 monitors? REMEMBER! I'm looking for extended desktop NOT Nvidia surround. I wan't like Skyrim in the middle, skype right and maybe YouTube/Facebook/Netflix to the right.

Thanks
- Benjamin

Nope - 4GB is 256-bit, too - it's the same card, just more VRAM.

And unless you're planning on playing games across all three, 2GB is plenty for everything. Even Skyrim with 2K textures and 8xMSAA.

Hey, i'm an idiot... I meant to type 760 NOT 770... Can you reply regarding the 760?

Same chip and same options - just two more SMX units disabled, so 15% less performance in games.

The Radeon R9 290s have 4GB/512-bit - and the MARS GTX 760X2 advertizes 4GB/512-bit, but it's really not - 2GB/256-bit for each chip on the card.

Next question (tell me if this needs new post): If i get the GTX 760 can i use 2 DVI (PC) -> HMDI (Monitor) and 1 DisplayPort (PC) -> HDMI (Monitor) for 3 monitors?

I don't have hands-on experience, but as I understand it, yes. One of the DVI ports and the HDMI port use the same output, so you always have to utilize the DisplayPort to enable a third monitor.

Yes, that's what i got from my research too, but i was wondering if the DisplayPort -> HDMI would make it count as legacy or if it still works as DisplayPort

Oh yeah, you'll be fine with that adapter - as long as you're using the DP for the third monitor.
