Hi, ive asked a similar question before, but just to clarify, how different is the performance of a game when running with triple monitors. It does depend on specs and the game, so to specify even further, i have a single evga gtx 780 ti sc with acx cooling, 64 gb ram, and an i7 4960x intel processor. The games i want to run prioritize around crysis 3 and skyrim with the realvision graphics enchanser (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30936/?).

Three important questions:

What fps would i likely recieve with one monitor?

What fps would i likely recieve with three monitors?

What extra hardware do i need to get at least 45 fps on either game?



Thank you so much!

You'll definitely be able to run those games at decent settings on three monitors, but I'm not sure of the FPS you're likely to get. 40-50 FPS maybe? It's only speculation.

On a single monitor, you'll be able to max out both games at 1080p ( both vanilla and modded versions )

On three monitors, probably not maxed out, but you'll still get some decent frames per second. Since you've asked for 45, that seems likely for both Crysis 3 and Skyrim. Not sure of the modded one though.

Going SLI, will definitely improve performance.

Okay thanks. I read somewhere about benchmarks for crysis 3 at ultra settings on 5760x1080p and they got 17 fps with the same graphics card. Is this because of other specs playing a role, or do the very high settings make a huge difference from the regular high settings, OR is sli op?

The game is probably taxing at those resolutions and at settings of 'Ultra'. Also, FarCry 3 is very taxing when kept at ultra settings and with three monitors.
SLI can improve performance, but I'm unsure about how much it would. It will depend on the scaling for the game.

Okay. So would you suggest using one monitor with and more fps or three monitors and awesome nvidia surround, and better work station? i.e. Is the performance something that i should sacrifice or surround.

That's something entirely up to you. Using three monitors and NVIDIA surround is a nice experience and all, but it might get cut short by FPS dips and slowdowns.

But yes, you'll definitely be able to get much better performance on a single monitor than with three.

Okay well thanks so much for the advice, I really appreciate it! I think I'll stick with one monitor because in the long run, graphics cards are expensive and won't be worth it because the bezel will probably end up agrovating me xD. But then again, you can always turn em off for high intensive graphics, and use them for lower settings and work. Oh well, guess i will decide later. Thanks for your thoughts!!!
