Hi all,

I currently have one monitor running on a GTX 770 Windforce x3 OC 2GB, but would like to upgrade to 3 monitors.

I'm not very knowledgeable about things like this so I would be great full if any of you could recommend some, around 23-24 inches in size and IPS.

I'm going to SLI my current graphics card as well for increased power.

One question I also had is because my G-Card only has 2GB of VRam, will I struggle to play most games on high settings? I don't want to upgrade and not be able to get the full experience.

Many thanks for your help.

Conor

Well running 3 screens for GAMING, isnt the best idea, because 1) you WILL indeed run out of VRAM 2) You wont have enough juice anyways 3) probably highest setting you can...

What i recommend you do, is sell your 770 and either go Crossfire R9 290 OR 290x if you want a extra bit of power (unneeded in my opinion) OR go with the GTX 970 SLI...
Those are your best options for getting the best experience out of your monitors, and if your certain you want an ips panel: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-112-LG&groupid=17&catid=510
That one has a 5ms response time on it, so its not bad at all
OR if your wanting a gaming monitor:

Now ive realised that is £11.99 out of your budget, but it will look so nice triple monitors as it has a slim bezel, and has a 1ms response time...
Or if your wanting one for £150>:

That is probably the monitor im going to get myself as it looks awesome! and has a 1ms response time

So ive put you together some nice options, if you need any more help, just ask!

Nvidia graphic cards tend do do worse than ATI ones, i suggest you buying 290x for triple monitor, it will perform better than any Nvidia on 3 monitors.

Crossfire(using 2x 290x) isn't optimal, you should just get one and lower the graphics settings to make it run smooth at 60fps on 3 monitors.

^^^^ i agree with this... but crossfire if you want, if not, then dont, there will be heat and lots of power though
