Its a guy on craigslist selling a 5870 For about $130.00 and then I see on amazon the Triplehead2Go is only 130 ish two.

My Budget is about $250 now including adapters. So I might have to game on one monitor before I buy a adapter. Which would be fine only because I get a small check next week. But now more money possible for this setup.

I know AMD you need to use DP but what about an Nvidia 660 or 660sc?

I hear some people can't get DVI-D to work with VGA .. experiences?

My Monitors are Dell VGA 17" 1280x1024 Res.

My system is strong. FX 6300.. 8 GB ram ..970a G46 mobo sli/cross ready.

I want eyefinity with med settings running fine at least. Across 3 Screens of course.

or a Triplehead2go with a " I can RUN BF4 on med or high at least settings.....

I have seen a few


*7770's for a good price. $104.
*550ti for $75 bucks NEW!
*5870 for $130.00
*650ti $99
*7790ti for $190.00
*5770 for $69

thats some stuff i been looking at.

Also it would be a great help if you could go to www.Microcenter.com >rockville store and help me with one there ... I'd much rather hit a local place cause I can slap a replacement plan on it and exchange/upgrade anytime!! I don't mind playing on Low.... 3 screens for a few weeks . That's ok.

get the 270x, end of story for your budget there is almost no better option (also eyefinity is amd, Nvidia surround is nvidia of course)

660 and 660sc also use display port, and hdmi, and dvi

lol I know which is which thanks bro. and as far as that $300 dollar card as an option lol If i could spend that much... I wouldn\t be on here... I am looking for expertise and more I did this.. just cause they say this needs this .. or this will struggle on this don''t always turn out that way... That's why if I go local I can go back..

Thanks though.. BTW for all that money I could buy a good used TH2G for $130 and like Decent 180 card that is now like $120 at my local Microcenter and come out on top still buying adapters.

My appologies, i had not realized that the 270x had gone up so much in price (was under 250 a few months ago). The 750ti is also another great option that is not listed above (also no such thing as a 7790ti)

lol ok thanks but things just got better check this out I am getting these ASUS ML228H's for like 110 (3) of them. so now I can do it Easily without alot of adapters.

So how about this.. IU can now only buy a cheaper card. So i am gonna 550ti for $75 and put a replacement plan on iot... so when get another roll of dough in I will march to Microcenter exchange it and pay extra for a 750 ti or 660 ti when i see it!

How you think the 550ti will do on low/med with 3 monitors?

bf4 on low across 3 screens you might get 25 fps with the 550ti...MIGHT, honestly i'd say just game on one screen for now, won't be as many screens, but at least it will be nice and you can turn up the settings a bit

This is crazy but i'm approaching the position to spend $200.00 .. + $50 on psu( i am a freelance IT guy.. first is bills then extra.. so as i am making more.. It's extra.. but I only count what's guaranteed)

So for an instance i only buy Localy (I try) and get replacement warrranty... so at Micro Center ( rockville or fairfax) do me a favor and tell me which one? the R9 240 2gb is out of stock :-(

the 240 will give you absolutely unplayable frame across 3 screens, For around the $200 mark, i'd say go no lower than the 750ti
