Muti-monitor/screen setup advice for 7970 crossfire

[jeet_shek]

I have purchased two AMD sapphire HD 7970 Dual-x non OC for a crossfire and multi-monitor setup, which I am running at 1360 X 768 resolution on a single screen(please don't laugh). The idea for a crossfire setup is to play games at higher resolution.

Now I have 2 options , I will purchase 4 1360 X 768 resolution monitors and try to make a setup of a resolution 3840X1360 with 5 monitors which is far more cheaper, or getting 3 new 24 inch monitors of 1920x1200. Please advice which one I should go for

Definitely go with the 1920x1200.
With the kind of rendering muscle you have, you'll want to get the most out of it.

3 new 24 inch monitors should be less of a hassle as there are less cables to deal with and less work trying to position them
and buying the same monitors for a multi-monitor setup is better because they should probably be equally bright and calibrated in the same way right out of the box so that you have a nice even picture across all screens

Im gaming at 5740x1080 on a single 7950. With high settings and respectable FPS on mst games. (Crysis 3, ARMA II, Bioshock Infinte)

If youve already bought the GPUs id say get the better monitors. If youve got the money to buy 2 7970s then certainly fork out for some decent monitors. maybe even look at a 3D monitor.....

Its rally nice of you Woodlore to assume that I have money
when I purchased these two cards along with a PSU half of my monthly salary smoked out . Yes I can go for 3 big screens. But I was looking a cheaper solution.

hmm. I am assuming you are certainly right about brightness..

If you wait till next month then you will be able to buy monitors that do dual 7970s justice!

you can find budget 24'' 1920x1080 monitors instead of 1900x1200
there are a lot more options that dont break the bank
