Single GPU 3 Monitor Gaming

[Spencer993]

Hello,

I am wondering if you could game on all 3 monitors simultaneously with ONE GPU?

If you can, would the GTX 770 2 GB be enough?
If not, what is the cheapest card that will play games that I like (Mirrors Edge, Planetside 2, etc..) on 3 monitors?

Thanks,
Spencer

A gtx 770 could play games on 3 monitors (assuming they are 1080p) but at lower resolutions. I highly suggest you sell your gtx 770 and, depending if you live in the US or not, get either a r9 290 (outside of US) or gtx 780 (inside US). I made these decisions based on the performance and amount of RAM each GPU has. The R9 290 would be better but in the US those are very expensive due to litecoin and other coin mining activities. Outside the US the r9 290 should be about 350 pounds or 400 euros. I suggest you get an r9 290 with a non reference cooler such as ones from gigabyte, asus and sapphire. Once you have decided which GPU / card variant you would like to buy please post a link to it first so that i can advise you.

I do not own the GTX 770, that's the card that I might buy. Unfortunately, my budget is strictly 400$. Thank you for your response.

Well, playing on 3 monitors will have a huge impact on a single card. Most people use SLI for 3 monitors especially at 1920x1080 resolutions or higher. For single cards, if I absolutely had to use one card, It'd be an AMD witha 512 bus and 4GB of memory. Otherwise, I'd be worried about unstable fps. My recommendation is this for a single card:

Otherwise, I'd suggest another 770 2GB to place in SLI
