Is it possible to get this resolution in games that support multimonitor gaming?? Because when I looked at the specs of the card it said max res : (something with 4000x2160)
I also dont know so much about eyefinity, can someone explain?
And the last question, are there any good 1440p monitors that are cheap but for gaming?
 
Good and cheap are generally mutually exclusive.

The Asus Swift is by far the best 1440 monitor out there (144 Hz) but w/o the ability to use G-Sync, you'd be wasting one of its best features.

As for the resolution thing, if doing 144 Hz) I know there has been an issue with AMD cards and multimonitor gaming .... bandwidth issue that as I recall was caused by display port limitations rather than anything else AMD or / Eyefinity related.

One final note, It takes roughly 46% of the alloted bandwidth of a displayport 1.2 in order to run 1 vg248qe monitor at 1920x1080p@144hz which is roughly 12.5 gbps out of a totall 28.7 gbps that the displayport 1.2 is capable of outputting so you can run all 3 monitors using evga displayport hub but you will be stuck in 60hz unless you only connect two fo them. this can be verified in the new 14.2 drivers as they have a meter on them when you are connected using MST technology that tells you the current usage of bandwidth per monitor using your Displayport.



As for performance....

295x2 goes from 110.2 fps with (1) 1920 x 1080 monitor to 40.6 with (3) 1920 x 1080 or 36.8%

So if we look at 7680 (not 7860) x 1440, and take 36.8% of the 58.7 fps that the 295x2 gets with (1) 2560 x 1440, we can estimate performance of 21.6 fps
 
Aha okay, but the problem is that I already got my 295x2 (Got it on black friday for an amazing deal) So maybe I would just stick to triple 1080 or 1 4k display.. (I can't reply on my phone)
But thanks for the answer JackNaylorPE :)
