Will 2x EVGA geforce GTX 580 run on 3 monitors?

Hello,

I'm about to buy 2nd hand 2x EVGA GeForce GTX 580.

I run 3x monitor.

Now my question is: Will the graphics cards will run games at 60 FPS (dont need more) at high graphics?

Thanks for reading!

At high not Ultra, yes in most cases. Some games won't run well in SLI mode. So be aware of this, also check if your motherboard has two PCI Ex16 lanes for your GPUs otherwise the upgrade is a waste

Thanks for you answer! my motherboard is the MSI-z87-g45-gaming. It's card interface is: 4x PCI-e 2.0 x1, 3x PCI-e 3.0 x16. I guess it will do it?

I've dit some googling and this is what I found for PCI-e 3.0 x16 and PCI-e 2.0 x16: "yes they work, and for now there is no performance increase in 3.0 so there will be no performance hit, but some say that in future some motherboard updates "may" increase the 3.0 slot speed for graphics card, but for now there will be no performance hit since there is no performance gain for 3.0..."

i have 3x 580 1.5gb. Do yourself a huge huge favor and buy the 3gb versions...

I have raw power but the buffer is WAY too low. Im currently trying to upgrade to Sli 780s/Titans or a R9 290x
