3 might. I've seen quad SLI Titans get slayed by 3x1440p on max settings. If you OC the hell out of those cards you'd be able to surpass Titan performance

What would you need the surround for? FPS games suck with surround. Just sayin

I personally like the look surround gives to fps games. Also i play day z a lot and i want to experiment with indy horror games to see what they look like with surround. I also really want to try goat simulator on them ;)

there's too much bezel with that benq panel but it's quite fast, probably the fastest gaming monitor out there. i'd consider panels with thinner bezels though.

[edit]

or if you want to be the next coolest kid on the block, and probably one of the first in the world, maybe you can try something like these ultrawide monitors, 3 of them :D
