gtx 660 at 3840x1024?

[joejoeboom]

Bit of an odd question but I currently have three 19" 1280x1024 monitors and I plan on getting a new system soon. Something I was thinking of is taking all of them and putting them in Nvidia surround.(Sadly they are all vga displays so interfacing them will be hard on one GPU) But I am wondering if you guys think a gtx 660 will handle a normal games at this res. Will I need a second GPU? I can get a 770 for slightly less than the cost of two 660s but I think that two 660's will be more future proof. (Which is important because I am about to become a lowly college student with no money and upgrading will probably be out of the question here pretty soon.

I have an R9 270x and can run most games at 3840x1024. I would recommend spending a little extra and getting at least r9 270x. It will perform much better than a gtx 660 and it won't be much more expensive. do you already have the gtx 660?

how much is the frame buffer of your gpu? that is one big factor for multi monitor. a 660 is a good card, but i dont think its good for such setup. even high end cards are having a hard time, esp with high/ultra details

No I don't yet. Currently I have an ATI 4850. It be a bit derpy. i can play GTA 4 on low at 30 fps.
