Graphics card on three monitors.

Ok, while im waiting on my gtx 780 6gb i ordered, i am stuck with a gtx 660 2gb sc card and 3 1600x900 monitors. Is there any games i cam play at medium to high to get the feel of it? Btw newegg is taking two weeks to ship my new card

Half life 2?
Any source game really is something you could try, but the 660 is nowhere near powerful enough to run anything made in the last 4 years on 3 monitors on medium - high settings.

I have seen a guy use 3 1080p monitors and play skyrim on max settings with the same exact card. Would i be able to aswell?

To be perfectly honest, Skyrim is NOT a demanding game. I maxed it out on a Radeon 5570, 6GB of RAM, and a Core 2 Duo. It's not a hard game to run. You theoretically should, but keep in mind every system performs differently and you'll never get the exact same performance as someone else with the exact same components.

Honestly I'm now curious as to why you'd want to play games with 3 monitors anyways. You really should invest the money in 1 large monitor and 1 small side monitor instead of 3, since 3 gives you stretched peripheral vision and it also reduces performance quite a bit. It distracts you too much, and FPS games and whatnot should really be played on a single large high-res monitor.

You've already bought them so ignore the last part, but since you're here you probably read it.

Skyrim will probably run just fine, but I have a 660TI and I can't run Skyrim at ultra 60FPS all the time (which AA turned up and the works). Beware that not every system runs the exact same way.

The whole reason for three monitors was for my racing simulator and flight simulators i have built. One 23in monitor wouldnt cut it. Plus when i am gaming or streaming it doesnt hurt to have three, one for twitch or a webpage, one for skype and obs and one for the actual games

Oh, okay. If you play racing sims and stuff like that then playing with 3 monitors is a good idea

I personally only use two, since I just have my crap on one side and then my game on the other, and it runs fine.
