I'm having a tough time finding an answer to my question so I thought "Why not just ask?"
I am building a new system and would like to have an eyefinity set up, but I'm a bit conflicted on what to go with. I'm trying to save money, but still have a solid set up.
I was at first going to get the Radeon 6870 graphics card, but after reading reviews and such it was my understanding that it wouldn't be able to power 3 monitors at 1900x1080 resolution. I'm assuming it would have less trouble powering 3 monitors at 1600x900 resolution? This final option (6870 and 3 monitors at 1600x900 resolution) would be my cheapest option, but I'm unsure of how it would look and if it would even be worth it.
The next, and considerably more expensive option is the Radeon 6950 2gb card which should be able to run 3 monitors at 1900x1080 resolution, based on what I've read. This option, as obviously being the better option as far as performance would result in me spending a lot more money than I'd like to.
I guess my question here is would games look good at the 1600x900 resolution in eyefinity or would it not even be worth it?
The rest of the system is as follows:
i5-2400 processor
ASRock z68 extreme3 gen3 motherboard
8 gb ddr3 1600 ram
seasonic 620w psu
nzxt m59 case
500gb 7200 rpm hard drive
I plan to mainly play MMO's, but I'm sure I'll venture out and play other games as well. Primary game for a while is going to be swtor.
Any advice would be great as to what I should do here. Thanks in advance.
