Motherboard for 3 monitor display

[imindless]

I am looking at two motherboards and I need some advice.

ASUS Maximus Hero VI
ASUS Sabertooth Z87

I am going to be hooking up 3 monitors in total for my rig and my graphics card, either Nvidia or AMD (undecided), will be of the higher end models with 4GB to support 3 monitors.

Can either of these be compatible with 3-way SLI or Crossfire? I have read conflicting reviews.

Also, will my graphics card, Nvidia or AMD, matter in terms of picking a motherboard that will compliment it?

Thanks.

Alright, so SLI/XFIRE is good just in terms of better performance, but as a play-for-fun gamer instead of the used-to-be-competitive gamer, I don't see that being an issue.

I was planning on one card, with at least 3-4GB on the card.

Back to the motherboard question though... After learning all the other details, could I still pick the Hero or Sabertooth as my motherboard? I guess that is the ultimate question.

Yes you can, and get the best Card you can buy at the time.. and when time comes where you aren't getting the performance that you were used to getting.. add in your other card and SLI/xfire it 🙂
i would suggest a 770 4gb or a r9 280x

Yeah, I agree with this basically. Start with one card. If it's not performing well enough, you can add another.

Sad I can only pick one person the as best solution. This thread has great resources for everyone and I hope it gets used wisely.

The more input the better, it can be hard to decide on stuff like this
