Good morning gentlemen, I recently acquired three ASUS VE247H 24" HD monitors (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236112) I want to run an EyeFinity or nVidia Surround setup on them, however I am torn between several options.
I seem to have settled on a budget of $500, so I'm weighing the pros & cons of:
2 NVIDIA 760s in SLI
One NVIDIA 780
AMD R9 290
I usually use the "Best Graphics Cards For The money" as my gospel, but as the December article mentions, the R9 290s have jumped up by 25% in price. This makes the decision more difficult for me, as an r9 290 would have been a no brainer at $400, specifically this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202080
Another question, as though the "what graphics card should I buy" isn't encountered often enough, I want to be sure that after investing $500 I won't be bottlenecked. I'm a man who goes INSANE if I can't turn a setting up to max (with the exception of AA, it doesn't really bother me). Can I run 5760x1080 on any of these configurations at High/Ultra? My current specs are as follows:
I will be running Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Final Fantasy XIV, Battlefield 4, and the big titles scheduled to come out this year (Division, Watch Dogs, etc.)
