3 2560x1440 monitors on ultra?
I am looking at building a very high end pc. I would like to run nvidia surround with 3 27inch 2560x1440 monitors with a fourth over the top. I would use this almost exclusively for gaming while playing games such as battlefield 4 and titanfall. I would ultimately like to be able to play those titles on ultra with 50+ fps, however I understand that's a pretty tall order. My question would be is it even possible to achieve that with todays technology and if so what kind of set up would be required to pull that off? I don't really have a max budget for this as I'm not even sure if it can be done. And if it's not possible what kind of build would you recommend for a top of the line 3 monitor setup. Thanks in advance for any help.

Well 3x1080p is 6,220,800 pixels, so if it can do 4k at a decent FPS, it will do 3x1080p at a really good one, so look at the benchmakrs I posted above for 4k.

ok so 3 2560x1440 monitors is probably a bit unrealistic then. What kind of a rig would create the most enjoyable 1 over 3 set up? What kind of monitor size would you recommend and what kind of video card and processor to make it work?

3 27" monitors seems like too much turning of the head for me for gaming. lol. I'd rather have 1 nice 4k monitor in front of me.

Considering 2x780ti's can only do 100fps on ultra at 1 1440p monitor, 3 is well....

2x295x cards, quad crossfire, $3000 can do 85FPS in BF4 at 4k, or 8,294,400 pixels.

Your 3x1440p screens is 11,059,200 pixels, so almost 25% more, so if you took that as about 25% slower, then about 60FPS with $3000 quad crossfire setup. Don't forget a 1500w power supply, massive motherboard with good pci-e lanes and a small power plant to power it all. That is probably the best video soluition you can really do.

Radeon R9 295X2 Crossfire might work.
