Will a 780 TI handle 3 monitors?

[petrousmc]

I am about to build a new gaming rig. I'm getting a 27" IPS monitor for DisplayPort. My other 2 monitors will be 18.5" just for browsing/work purposes so the only monitor I will use for gaming will be the 27". Will I be able to run all 3 off a GTX 780 TI? I haven't built a gaming PC since the 8800 GTX was the latest and greatest (so it's been a minute)

Absolutely, you can.

Resolution on those monitors?

 

[Gam3r01]

The resolution dosent matter unless they are 4k. The 780Ti has the power to run even that, so the resolution really is irrelevant.

 

[deadmaufive]

whatever the native on the monitors are. 1080p obviously for the 27" and whatever the highest res for the other 2 monitors are. the 780ti is a beast of card, so you could easily run 3-4 monitors at 1080p without any hiccups.

Resolution on those monitors?

1920 x 1080 on the 27" 1366 x 768 on the 2 18.5"

Yah easy. it can handle that. Also it would matter running 3 2560x1440

@Demigodz, I am making a new build that utilizes a single 780 Ti, and I have three 2560x1440 monitors I am hoping to hook it up to from a single card. Will it be able to handle those and connect to each? The monitors have a display port, so can I use the one display port + the 2 DVI connections? Are they both Dual-Link DVI?

Yeah sure it run all three monitor. But on single 780 GTX ti with three monitor at full AA at x8 or x4 could slow you down on ultra or high setting the game. It tear so much on the 780 you have to have triple buffer and v-sync on to get a really good view of the games like BF4 and Ghost and Batman and wireframe and AC blackflag and few other top titles. You might be upset that you want to go full blast on FPS with out the triple buffer and v-sync.

Thanks for your reply. How would I connect all three? I only see one dual-link DVI and one display port, and it was my understanding that HDMI won't connect to my monitor (Dell 2713HM) at 2560x1440, instead only at 1080p. Right now I have a SLI 580Ms in my laptop and it only outputs via HDMI at 1080p so I didn't think connecting via HDMI was an option.

1 monitor: DisplayPort
2nd monitor: Dual Link DVI
3rd monitor: ????

yes i think that the display port can be split in to multiple. if not the 780 ti has 2 dual display port so you should be fine either way. also you will not get good frame rate with that many pixels. personal experience i cannot max out battlefield 4 on my r9 290 with one 2560x1440 let alone 3

Thanks! The listing for the 780 Ti says:

Dual-Link DVI-I and DVI-D

I know you need Dual-Link DVI to get 2560x1440, so what is Dual-Link DVI-I? I thought DVI-I was by nature not dual-link and wouldn't work with resolutions of 2560x1440.

 

[demigodz]

it is a normal dvi. just if it says dual link you can run at 2560x1440

No it can split into multiple monitor under one display port. But you can Hook up the DVI-I to the monitor #2 the DVI-D monitor #1 and Display port to #3 monitor or you can get a HDMI male to DVI female cable then hook up a DVI cable to monitor#3
