Its a guy on craigslist selling a 5870 For about $130.00 and then I see on amazon the Triplehead2Go is only 130 ish two.

My Budget is about $250 now including adapters. So I might have to game on one monitor before I buy a adapter. Which would be fine only because I get a small check next week. But now more money possible for this setup.

I know AMD you need to use DP but what about an Nvidia 660 or 660sc?

I hear some people can't get DVI-D to work with VGA .. experiences?

My Monitors are Dell VGA 17" 1280x1024 Res.

My system is strong. FX 6300.. 8 GB ram ..970a G46 mobo sli/cross ready.

I want eyefinity with med settings running fine at least. Across 3 Screens of course.

or a Triplehead2go with a " I can RUN BF4 on med or high at least settings.....

I have seen a few


*7770's for a good price. $104.
*550ti for $75 bucks NEW!
*5870 for $130.00
*650ti $99
*7790ti for $190.00
*5770 for $69

thats some stuff i been looking at.

Also it would be a great help if you could go to www.Microcenter.com >rockville store and help me with one there ... I'd much rather hit a local place cause I can slap a replacement plan on it and exchange/upgrade anytime!! I don't mind playing on Low.... 3 screens for a few weeks . That's ok.

 


lol I know which is which thanks bro. and as far as that $300 dollar card as an option lol If i could spend that much... I wouldn\t be on here... I am looking for expertise and more I did this.. just cause they say this needs this .. or this will struggle on this don''t always turn out that way... That's why if I go local I can go back..

Thanks though.. BTW for all that money I could buy a good used TH2G for $130 and like Decent 180 card that is now like $120 at my local Microcenter and come out on top still buying adapters.

 


lol ok thanks but things just got better check this out I am getting these ASUS ML228H's for like 110 (3) of them. so now I can do it Easily without alot of adapters.

So how about this.. IU can now only buy a cheaper card. So i am gonna 550ti for $75 and put a replacement plan on iot... so when get another roll of dough in I will march to Microcenter exchange it and pay extra for a 750 ti or 660 ti when i see it!

How you think the 550ti will do on low/med with 3 monitors?
 


This is crazy but i'm approaching the position to spend $200.00 .. + $50 on psu( i am a freelance IT guy.. first is bills then extra.. so as i am making more.. It's extra.. but I only count what's guaranteed)

So for an instance i only buy Localy (I try) and get replacement warrranty... so at Micro Center ( rockville or fairfax) do me a favor and tell me which one? the R9 240 2gb is out of stock :-(
