Hi guys.
I need help to get the proper cards to run the setup I have on my title. I currently have 2x 27"@2560x1440p which makes it a combine resolution of 5120x1440p and want to add another. I want to run this at max settings when I get a 3rd one in due time. Currently I have a 670 and using just one monitor since I don't see the need to have 2 of them running at the same time without being fully utilised. I am thinking a CF setup with 7970s or grab a single 690 when the third one comes in a month from now. What's the best to do? Thanks.

You would be better off with a crossfire setup of 7970's most certainly. Eyefinity is a stronger multi monitor technology in comparison to the Nvidia offering. Also, you have more ram and stronger ram going into a multi monitor setup. A 690 is fine however the 4 gigabytes is really 2 spread among both cards so its not effectively 4 gigabytes. if you are serious about 3 displays 2 7970's will do the trick.

Well I pre-ordered the 900D and I can cancel it if I want to. The reason I did that is because I wanted full custom watercooling for both cards and CPU. My Haf XM has so far failed with air cooling when I had 2 x GTX 670 DCUII. I guess time to decide. Maybe I get the case and watercool later and save money for at the moment.
Not quite the lightning goes for under 500. And with the overclock of the lightning I would say its comparable to the 7970 ghz edition card.

Also, case wise: should I wait for my order to come in at the end of the month or cancel it and find something cheaper and better at future watercooling minus any HAF cases, GT10 casesCases are more of a personal touch so that is up to you. The new corsair offering the 900D looks like a superb water cooling case. http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Obsidian-Series-Computer-... also the Cosmos 2 but again its a personal statement and its up to you.

What a coincidence. I am looking at that same card. I wish they could have it for cheaper lol
It's up to you I haven't been a fan of XFX's cooling design it has a rather reference feel to it.
The 820 looks good as well. It has 4 water cooling grommets. I have my eyes set on the Fractal Design cases the Define R4 or the XL R2. But You would have to do modding to get it to work I bet for water.

I guess cases are indeed a personal preference. I might have to go with the XFX because the cheapest Sapphire up here is the reference card and it's still 10 dollars more than the XFX BE. What about this card: http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=67547&vpn=GV-R797OC-3...
And I have been taking a very close look at FDF R4 and XL R2. They are good and are very tempting.

then he best change his board!!Ah redeemer. What do you suggest I go get besides the one I have now? I mean it has PCI-E and if I put CF then I can have both cards run at 8x8. Is there a board out there that can run 16x8 for Z77? Also, I intend to move up to IB-E when it comes out so I guess this out of question right now!
I am not getting 3 cards lol. I will upgrade to IB-E when it comes out and this mobo and CPU will serve my wife as HTPC and gaming (she has hijacked my games lately).
The card I am talking about is the Gigabyte one. Here's the link: http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=67547&vpn=GV-R797OC-3...

haha! well I would say get the best with what you can afford. If you like the gigabyte card why not just get the ghz edition from them.

Don't go SLI or CFX and you won't need the watercooling either..........also micro-stuttering is to consider when going that route.
if you wanna run 3x27" of UHD.....thats a HUGE number of pixels to push!!! and CFX and SLI setup of 2GB+2GB cards are Not 4GB but ONLY 2GB EFFECTIVELY...
so, I would recommend going with a single card solution.
GTX Titan is coming out in a week on 2/18.....should be available to ORDER in about 10 days.........6 GB, 384-bit ......that's what you need to run 3x UHD displays
so hold on for 10 days, and get a Titan. because CFX/SLI has microstuttering + heat +space + efficiency problems....
and NO single card currently available is gonna cut it for ur needs.
its gonna all change in a week.

considering OP's needs(or wants) and nothing in the market to satisfy it.
its Worth waiting one or two weeks....

Well, what the heck. The Titan will have a $1100+ price tag and no one knows for sure if it is real or fake, hence the title rumor. I don't see why I should spend that much money on a single card that can't push 3x2560*1440p at max settings. If it's selling at that price I might as well go and grab 3CF or 3SLI.

That is very hard to say I know that the 2011 chips have been more hungry for power. However you have a AX850 and that should be ample for what you are doing.I think IB-E should be less power hungry due to 22nm process just like how the current IB i5/i7 offerings are very efficient compared to SB chips.
