kilgourd · Jul 9, 2016

I'm upgrading from a gtx 960 to either 3 980ti or 2 1080 gtx cards..... Will I notice better gaming proformance and what way is better 3 980ti or 2 1080 gtx?

You definitely wouldn't need 3x 980Ti's for gaming, and even 1 GTX 1080 is overkill for gaming (unless at 4k, just note that not all games take advantage of SLI). The 2x 1080 would be the better choice overall, though, less power needed and less heat is produced.

It would be a 3 monitor set up at 1080p either 24" or 27" screens would that make a difference?

This should be in the Graphics Cards section [http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/forum-33.html].
And 2 way 1080. As mentioned it's less power draw and less heat leaving more room for overclocking etc. I wouldn't recommend anything more than 2-way setup due to poor utilization and possible instability. Best of luck =)

The screen size really wouldn't make much of the difference, the resolution does (eh, pretty much). One 1080 would be able to handle all of that, they're only 1080p (unless you're running different games that all require tons of resources). If you plan on playing one game with all three monitors, the 1080 would be great for that alone.

Thanks so much for help... How much ram do you think is best I'm at 16gb at the moment should I go 32gb?

Depends on what you'll be doing with all 3 of those monitors, if you use lots of chrome tabs and other processes, it may be worth it, but 16GB as of now is still overkill. If you truly need the extra RAM, I would shoot for 24GB. Even with tons of processes and games open, I still manage to not even use 9GB of RAM.
