Which GPU is good for 3 monitors ?

[Azhureuz]

Hello, I wanna ask about GPU for 3 displays. I have HD 7850 and I wanna buy two more 22'' monitors. I realy can't decide if it's better to buy new HD 7850(or 7870) and put it to CrossFire or buy new better GPU like r9 290 or GTX 970(only one). I wanna play games like Skyrim, WOW, Crysis 3, FarCry 4 and more high end games like these. The resolution will be 5760x1080.

 

[Mr_Venbeer]

A single GTX 970 is really good for mutli monitor setups. I would highly recommend.

for 5760x1080 gaming you will need a gtx 970 or an r9 290 but they will barely hit 30-40fps


yo can get the watercooled r9 295x2 for better performance

 

[Mr_Venbeer]

I think the 970 has a better value over the R9 295X2

I think the 970 has a better value over the R9 295X2

295x2 has price to performance value

970 sli will cost you 700-800$ and it comes with issues with sli support for some games, proper cooling etc

295x2 is a single card with double the memory onboard costs the same and beats the 970 sli .... it is also factory water cooled

Okay, thank you guys, I think I will go for gtx 970 and later I can buy next one to SLI

 

[blacksheep123]

good choice

ps: never go for sli/crossfire unless you have no choice

 

[Azhureuz]

blacksheep123: Okay, maybe 4GIGs memory at GPU is enough for 3 monitors, at least on medium or high settings in games, I think I will be fine Still I need better CPU, I have only fx 6300 😀

 

[Mr_Venbeer]

BTW I was talking about a single GTX 970 ...

fx6300 is a good cpu if you OC it to 4.0ghz and above

 

[Mr_Venbeer]

Or you can upgrade to an FX-8350, which will be pretty good pairing with the 970.

 

[Azhureuz]

I am now on Fx 6300 4.1 GHZ and GTx 970 with 8GB RAM 99% games on ultra with 60fps on Full HD 60htz monitor. I am happy, it is enough

 

[blacksheep123]

the gpu is 99% right?
not the cpu right?

 

[Mr_Venbeer]

I'm glad to hear that

 

[Azhureuz]

Both of them actualy, I increase CPU speed on 4.3 GHZ. For example, Fyrcry 4 Ultra with nVidia AA on 55+ FPS.....Thats crazy guys 😀

 

[blacksheep123]

good .. i get 60 fps on farcry 4 in my setup too

everything on ultra , SMAA, volumetric fog , SSAO

 

[Mr_Venbeer]

Crazy. I still yet to try out the game

 

[Azhureus]

What's up folks. I have my FX 6300 stable on 4.5 GHZ with GTX 970 OC. 99.9% of my games run mostly on ultra with 55+ FPS, some games can run on 60 without any drop( Skyrim, FC 4, AC Rogue and more) And I am talking about one FUL HD monitor, If you wanna try games like these on 3 monitors, you should be able to run them on high settings without AA and better shadows on 40 FPS and it is still playble But upgrade for 8350 or some i5 like 4590 or better should be better choice for multimonitor gaming And if you have money, go for 970 SLI

99% usage on the CPU or GPU?
