stongest single card to run a 3 monitor setup

[Fuzeplayer]

stongest single card to run a 3 monitor setup? im looking for a single card to run three, 720p resolution monitors, on gaming, like battlefield, skyrim, fallout, etc. on atleast medium settings with 40+fps?

would a 7950 3gb work?

 

[Mattyice47]

a 7950 or 7970 would be sufficient, but I would suggest getting a GTX 780 or GTX 780 Ti.

Get the R9-290 or R9-290x

I think HD7970, R9 280X or GTX770 would be preferable but the HD7950 will do it possibly on medium settings.

What's the difference between the 780 and the 780 ti?

And of course $200 less in your pocket.

Well I see videos on YouTube, of people using a 7950, running 3 1080p monitors, playing all their games on high-ultra at 40+fps

IMO getting a high FPS will help in scenarios where there's lots of ai's and objects, but if a game can be enjoyed, then it doesn't matter what your FPS is. There are 2 HD7950, regular and GHZ edition, right now take a look at the R9-280x it's around $300.

My CPU can't handle it. Well I don't think it can, it's an amd quad core 4300 3.8ghz quad core processor

 

[rolli59]

On that CPU I would not go higher than HD7950 or GTX760.

im not, im going with a 7950, look at mezou on youtube, he runs all his games on high-max, with 3 1080p resolution monitors, i would be using 720p. so i would get a little better performance

 

[lp231]

At 720 you should get better performance.

i know, so i should be able to run high

I have seen to many fudged you tube videos that I only go by respectable hardware sites. On your planned resolution you have about 1.4 times the pixels of a 1080P resolution and should get therefore close to 70% of the performance of that resolution in benchmarks.

According to the web some say it's possible to run on high while others say no, but it comes down to the games you're going to play. If I were to do a 3 monitor setup with a single card and want to run BF4 at high, I'll get at least a GTX 780 or R9-290 and then get one with lots of vram.
