Hello Tom's Graphic and Displays Experts,
I want to change my monitors and I don't know if I have to replace my graphic card to handle what I will buy. Here are the details :
I have two large monitors and I love it - one in portrait mode and the other in landscape mode.
I do 3 things : software development (it is my job), photo (Photoshop and Lightroom - it is my passion), and games (mostly block busters).
I'm currently owning an iiyama Prolite E2607WS (not a reference, I know) and a nice -- very nice but old Samsung SyncMaster 243T.
I want to replace them for a SAMSUNG SYNCMASTER S27A850D and a Dell DELL ULTRASHARP U2711 or a Dell DELL ULTRASHARP U3011 - I'm not fixed yet.
That is to say, I will then have two 2560 x 1440 monitors. My current graphic card is a GeForce GTX 570.
Do I have to upgrade my graphic card or not ? If yes, can I just add a second GeForce GTX 570 in SLI ? Or should I get some serious card (and which one) ?
(My motherboard accept two cards in SLI BTW.)
Note that I don't want to use both screen for gaming - one is enought for me.
Thank you in advance and kind regards,
Sylvain, Paris.
