Alright... So I'm always curious about an upgrade for my machine, and while I was searching for options to go a multi-monitor setup... I'd found that most people seemed to steer those looking for more from their graphics towards higher resolutions.
So it led me to looking at a 2560x1440 monitor. Of course the prices are DRASTICALLY different from what I paid for my 1080p monitor so it has me needing more info =S
Firstly, what's the difference between 2560x1440 and 2560x1600? I know one is larger, but will the difference be visible or no? Second, the prices seem to be upwards of a grand. Is that reasonable for a monitor? How long would I expect it to last? Third, I know I can run most anything currently with my 2 GTX 560 ti's. But the higher resolution is going to eat up my Vram, would I need to consider upgrading my cards first? I like my eye candy, and would hate to lose it.
And lastly, which between a single larger resolution monitor or a multi monitor setup would you suggest? I'm really grasping at straws here, and considering I'm happy with my setup I guess I'm just trying to make sure I'm not missing out on something amazing due to my ignorance about higher resolutions.
Any advice/suggestion/help/etc would be welcome and appreciated =D
