Hi,
I plan on getting a GTX 680 within a month or so if they are ever restocked. I will be mainly using it to play BF3. I am debating getting 2 more 1080p monitors for surround gaming, or getting a single 3D monitor instead.
Here's my question:
Given that it is a single 680, I am aware that it will not run 5760x1080 on ultra settings. Does anyone have an educated guess as to what settings I would be able to run while maintaining frames between 35-60.
Another option would be to get a 3D monitor instead. Is there anyone that can vouch for Nvidia 3D? Is it actually worth it, or is it just a gimmick?
So, really the question is surround gaming on slightly lower settings or 3D gaming on higher settings?
