So, I've recently decided to get three monitors to complete my middle range gaming set-up. I currently have a GTX 660 and I tried running it with three monitors... But when I was running Battlefield with NVIDIA Surround, it was pretty laggy. So I was wondering, could I buy a cheap graphics card to run the third monitor and then have the '660 run the middle and the right one? Or should I buy another 660 and run SLI between them?

Any help would be appriciated.

If you want to game on all screens in surround you will need another 660 for SLI.

I would say buy a newer card. For a triple monitor setup with Nvidia Surround, your going to want a 4 gig card.

I recommend one of these 2:

This is the budget range 760.

If you want something that is going to scream, then I'd recommend the 770.

Yeah you cant do that in games with a 660 + 750, it either has to all come from one card or two cards in SLI (which have to be the same model).

Get another 660 and SLI and turn the settings down a bit. This will still perform better than a 4Gb 760 on its own.
