Hey, I'm new here and I need some recommendations on whether or not I should get a new graphics card or triple monitors.
the graphics card that I currently am using is the Asus Radeon R7 250X 1GB, would this be able to handle triple monitor gaming as well as it does just single monitor? I don't know how much of a drop in performance there would be. I want to upgrade my graphics card to the MSI Geforce GTX 750 Ti 2GB. this would be a fairly big improvement over my current graphics card and I would also be able to stream PC games to my Nvidia Shield.
or
instead of upgrading my graphics card I could buy triple displays, (all of which would be the same)
so my question is, what should I get? I'm not sure if my current graphics card would be able to handle triple monitor gaming, but the new graphics card doesn't have a display port so it would be hard to (somewhere down the line) play triple monitor games on that either. I would also like to stream games to my Shield officially, without having to use KinoConsole.

Any recommendations would be appreciated ^_^ thanks.

If you plan on gaming across 3 x 1080p displays (5760 x 1080), you will need dual high-end cards in Crossfire or SLI. That's 3 times as many pixels and textures to render per frame than at 1080p. Along with that there will be the added expense of a very large, very high quality PSU. Plus the CPU will have to be capable of not bottlenecking that kind of GPU horsepower. Until you can afford that, there's no sense even considering triple monitor gaming.

right so I should upgrade my gpu first xD, is the MSI Geforce GTX 750 Ti 2GB a sensible upgrade from my current card? (not necessarily for triple monitor gaming)
