Triple Monitors, SLI 760 vs R9 290/290X?

[UnDimensional]

I currently have two 1080p monitors but I want to get a third for Nvidia Surround (Eyefinity for AMD). I also have a GTX 760 2GB, but I don't think that card can handle 5760 x 1080 on High/Ultra. Should I get another 760 for SLI, or buy something like an R9 290/290X?

The advice I would give here would be to wait for the Maxwell cards. But if you want something now, which is totally fair, I think you probably want to consider more Vram than 2GB if you want to go for 5760x1080p. So you're looking at 4gb 770 or the 280x as probably the minimum to have reasonable frame rates at that quality and resolution. If you really want ultra and/or msaa/ssaa enabled, you probably want the 290 or a 780 or more.

But I'd wait till Maxwell, you already have a strong current gen card.

Alright. Thanks for your advice. I think I do too right now. Currently gaming on one 1080p monitor on med/high with good FPS.

Right, get your $250 dollars worth at least before you retire it! It is kinda a bummer most of the 600/700 series was given 2GB by default, its really starting to expose itself. Enjoy though.

- you can also consider 120/144hz monitors since they don't need more vram!

What do you mean by that? Sadly, I've already got 2 1080p 60hz monitors, wouldn't having a 120/144hz one throw it off?
