GTX 960 - Is it good for running a Tri Screen gaming setup? All monitors full hd 23inch

[Coreya380]

I recently purchased Tri screens all 1080 Full HD 23 inch monitors.
I was wondering if the GTX 960 will be fine for this setup or is it worth going 970 ...plus ?

I play games like Elite Dangerous and would like to use tri screens for games like this.

Current RiG:
CPU - Intel i5 processor
PSU - 620w
GPU - GTX 560 Ti
RAM - 8gb

You can flip through here to get and idea, but the 960 is far too weak to do multiple monitors.

No. And the 970 isn't a good choice for high resolutions either.
You're looking @ either a GTX 980 or an R9 290X

Just got this from another thread, there is nearly no difference in performance between the 970 and the 290X at 1080 Eyefinity.

Not unless you like running low settings to get playable framerates.

So the gtx 970 won''t play at 30fps on med to high graphics..?
Is it GTX Titan or go home? haha

..of course it will! unless you start talking 4k resolution. These forums are always full of 'that'll never run' scaremongers!..will you have the odd fps drop? yes, especially with open world games, normally due to other factors than the GPU. Put it this way..if u cant play games using the 970 we might as well ALL pack up & go home! the only possible issue is maybe 3 years down the line or so (as state of art high end games evolve), with the limited 3.5gb and bus.

The 970 will probably be perfect for Elite dangerous for its foreseeable development (its requirements are NOT anything like Crisis 3 etc, for example!), even with upgrades. I have 970, 3 1080 monitors and SSD (good for in game loading, system maps etc) and the lowest fps on ultra/high is 45-50 in a station, frameshift drive or RES..only occasional & still totally playable!

In conclusion, 960 would probably cope ok, but get the 970, its an excellent all round, mid range GPU that will do everything well at 1080.

960 is fine for three monitors, I have two 24inch wide screens and a 50 inch runing fsx it works great. you will have to look up how, I dont have that data in front of me at the moment
