5760x1080 - SLI 560ti vs 670

The 670 would be a better option you will only get 1 gigabyte even if you were to sli with the 560's. 2 cards will not give you 2 gibaybtes so your ram will be very limited in a multi monitor configuration. Can you post your specs please. Also have you looked into eyefinity from amd its a superior product in terms of multi monitor support.

At that resolution I'd think the 670 would be the way to go, keeping the 560TI for physx. Gaming at the res will eat your system.

Well also to what games do you play? are there games you play that utilize physx?

Something to keep in mind that with a single 670 you will have a hard time playing games with high detail on 3 screens here is a battlefield 3 bench for 3 screens its at the bottom of the page.

Also there is another thread on tomshardware that talks about this.

My personal opinion is that you would have a easier time with 3 screens if you were to go with 2 670's. And then if you wanted physx with games like Batman AC/AA, or Borderlands 2 you could use your 560 if you have 3 pci express slots. You wouldn't need use a sli bridge to use it as a physx card but you would have a higher power requirement if you went that route.

Also here is a 4 gigabyte galaxy review for surround the 5760x1080 res bench

670 4GB.

Thanks for all the info!

I'm running:

i5-3570k @ 4.4gHz
gigabyte z77x-UD3H
16gb ram @ 1600mHz

GTX 560 ti @ 950mHz/ 2200 memory
SSD, 850W PSU, 1TB drive.

I'm not like a fanatic but the graphics of Crysis and Metro do impress me and i enjoy playing em. I just thought since i have 3 monitors, i'd like to try 5760x1080 gaming and see what it's like, so i don't need something that can pump out ultra on 5760x1080 but i'm trying to be as cost effective as i can.

i think for now i'll sell off my 560 ti and pick up a 670. i'll see how it goes and what i like settings wise/ performance and if need be add on another or go from there.

do you know if you can use the lucidlogix/ IGP or is that not even really that much of a difference in 5760x1080 for like physx or anything it can do.

You can still use lucidlogix its a pretty brilliant solution. It would help say if you are rendering something and you want to play a game at the same time your igpu will take care of the rendering or uploading to youtube or something while you play your games with no performance loss. I believe that is the only purpose for it. I set my physx setting to automatic it will choose the best option which will be your 670.
