What GPU to get for 3 monitors

Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Share

I am building a new rig and and coming to a standstill when trying to figure out what gpu I want/need to get. I am holding of on ordering everything until i decide.

so far I have decided on:

i7 3770k
Asus Maximus V Gene
32gb Corsair Vengeance
Corsair 850W bronze

I haven't put together a new PC in quite a few years, so if there is any other info you're needing just let me know.

I am wanting to be able to run 3 monitors and run games on Ultra settings, wanting to run all 3 monitors at 1920x1080.

Edit: Forgot to state that I am also trying to get the best possible frame rate no lower than 40-50 fps. And trying to stay in the ball park of $300-$400, but I am willing to go more if it is worth it.

Gaming on 3 monitors on ultra settings with minimum framerates of 40+ is going to require a lot more money than $300-400... you're looking at CF 7970s or SLI 680s as the way to go to have a shot at that...

My recommendations, in order of what I think would be best for that setup:
2x HD 7970 GHz Edition
1x HD 7990
2x GTX 680
2x GTX 670 / 1 x GTX 690
2x (manually overclocked) HD 7950

No single GPU is going to come close to maxing out demanding games on 3 screens with 40fps minimum framerates. Even with CF 7970s or SLI 680s, you're probably going to have to turn down AA settings in more demanding games to achieve that framerate.

Crossfire will be better for triple monitor gaming..... if he's gonna go single card it should be a 7990/690.

Of course, single card is OK if you don't mind turning settings down, but if you're wanting to get max or near-max settings in all games, you need two cards minimum.
