Hello, I'm building a PC and I would like to have 3 monitors each 1080p for gaming on high frame rates. I like the red and black look of AMD Video Cards better than GeForce's, so i was wondering what AMD graphics card i should get? Most likely crossfire right? I just don't no what would work best. My budget is fairly high but obviously over 800$ for a single graphics card is a little ridiculous. What would you recommend?
What Graphics Card(s) For A Three Monitor Setup?

Hello... here is a General GPU performance chart http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
Current cards can run 3 monitors... and can be xfired or SLI.
AMD MB chipsets have more xpress lanes, i have read, available for higher end graphic configuations.
And Yes more memory is needed for Multi Displays/resolution... 4gb or more for three monitor 1080P.

If you are interested in Crossfire, 2x R9 290's is a nice option and fits in below your max budget at $289 each and $30 mail in rebate:

Amd crossfire scales better afaik,but the gtx 970 then again is the better card.In the end they probably would give about equal performance with two cards.Right now would the gtx 970 be better alone.
That should be fine.
If you have monitors that support hdmi/dvi/displayport.You can use all three of these to connect the monitors to just the first card .
