Best graphics card/s for running 3 1080p 60HZ monitors. (£750)

[Lawson Pugh]

Hi all,

I need to know the best graphics cards or graphics card for running 3 monitors while gaming on the highest possible settings and still getting good frame rates. The price needs to include decent cooling.

Power Supply : 650 WATT Corsair 80 plus PSU With Power Cable Supplied
Motherboard : Asus Z87 Pro
CPU : Intel I7 4th Gen 4770K Quad Core CPU 3.5Ghz (3.9Ghz Turbo)
Hard Drive : 240 SSD + 2000 GB SATA 3 7200 RPM
16gb DDR3 1866mhz Corsair Vengeance Memory

Thanks in advance, Lawson.

I have a stock r9 290x that runs a bit hot, but some aftermarket cooling will fix mine when I have the money. I've got mine running eyefinity @ 5760x1080 with good settings.

Gigabyte may cost a bit more, but the Windforce Cooler may be worth it.

Plus it should run with your current PSU.

That 290X card looks like a beast, especially with that cooler.

A 780ti is also a consideration since your budget is soo high. However I'm not sure if you'll be able to completely max out a game with a 3-screen setup on a 780ti or 290X regardless. You may have to sli/cf to completely max out a game and get doable fps

Look at the R9 295 X2 if you want amazing performance and amazing cooling

Its impractical to go and spend $1500 on a GPU nor the excessive exaggeration on its performance and cooling. Yes it has a closed loop however a custom water-cooled loop would cool much better. Plus im sure its out of his price range

This might sound really stupid but the r9 290x will run with intel wont it?

 

[BlankInsanity]

yeah sure. Nvidia and AMD work with Intel lol.

 

[Lawson Pugh]

Haha, thanks! Also do you think two r9 290x's would be good in sli? As in not overheat ect.

 

[BlankInsanity]

No I don't think it's good. AMD gets really hot. Unless you plan on water cooling both of em I'd suggest not going for sli

well I have 2 280Xs in CFX and they are fine, around 65-70 in games. The 290X does get hot though.

 

[BlankInsanity]

The TDP of a 280X is much, much lower than that of a 290X. A single one gets as hot as 2 or three 280Xs in CF for a reference design.

Why go 290x, just slightly overclock the 290 and you can achieve 290x....
