Hello Tom and friends,
I've currently got an EVGA GTX 780 3 GB SC w/ACX at 1017 mhz, running an LG 29" 2560x1080 monitor to game on. I was considering buying 2 more 2560x1080 monitors, to really overkill some gaming. Problem is; I'm almost sure I can't run games in 7680x1080 at decent settings, at over 40 fps with my 780. Currently at 2560x1080 I max out Metro: LL at 70-80 fps (no MSAA), and was wondering how much more graphics power I would need to run games at at least medium at 40-60 fps in 7680x1080?
As a side note, I have an i5 4670k @ 4.0 ghz, and 16 GB Corsair Vengeance RAM.
Thanks in advance! :D

Another one in SLI would do it although I would say 2 x GTX780Ti would do it better.

Your best bet would be to get another EVGA GTX 780 3gb because 3gb is not REALLY enough for multi monitors you would want at least 4gb and that will help a lot and then with two 780's you will have 6gb which should be enough horse power to run the games at medium 40+ FPS


Two 3GB GPU's in SLI still only use 3GB since the Vram does not stack!

You ain't gonna find anything cheap that will run the equivalent of 4K at even medium fps. See: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/pq321q-4k-gaming,36.... I think the best you could go with would be 3 x Titan Black in SLI. You'd then have to upgrade to X79 to get the PCiE lanes. You'd need a better CPU anyway. Similar to the test bench setup that Tom''s used. Including a behemoth PSU.
You'd have to be a rich fanatic to go this way. Most people, including myself, don't believe that 4K gaming is practical yet. The hardware needs to develop further; especially GPUs. Maybe in another 2 years.

second the above... two 780s would still share 3gb. you definietly would want more than 3gb though... so i tihnk you're up into titan SLI territory.

it's not cheap... but if you're going with 3 1440p monitors, then you already knew that

Perhaps I'll explore the option further in a couple of years when I upgrade hardware, perhaps then there will be a sub-$1500 solution to 4k at respectable framerates. Thanks for the help!
