I have recently gotten a third monitor and been messing around with NVidia Surround long enough to hate it (About a week). My current cards are slightly outdated (GTX 460) and I have been thinking of upgrading anyway. So im making the switch to ATI Cards. Unfortunately I am under educated on anything to do with ATI. My long term goal is to have Quad Crossfire running 4 monitors. My thoughts were one card per monitor, but have recently been advised that more that 2 cards in crossfire tend to get clunky and dont receive much performance boost. (True?) The monitors run at 1920x1080, and I would be using 3 in Eyefinity, and one above it in extended mode (I might have the terminology wrong, but i think you get the intent of what i want to do, if its possible.) My main usage for my computer is using things such as Revit, CAD, Sketchup, Rhino, and other architectural programs, but I also do some gaming with things such as Skyrim, Bioshock Infinite, and Ghost Recon. Due to the quantity of cards i would like, I wanted to keep it under $250 a piece, but if general consensus is to only dual crossfire, i can push that a little. The date of purchase will be mid June-ish.
I was considering this card, but like I said, i dont know enough to defend why i chose it.
