Hello, I'm about to invest in a PC that will be used for gaming on top of other things, and I wanted to get a triple monitor setup for multi-tasking and surround gaming. I find myself unable to figure out what monitors to get and weather I should get 1080p or 1440p. Any help that you guys could provide would be appreciated xD.

1440p Would be unrunable without spending 2.5K minimum on GPU's alone...

 

Budget, Location

 

Color accuracy, response time, what?

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

i7 9700K (5.2Ghz @1.2V); MSI Z390 Gaming Edge AC; Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB 3200 CAS 16; H100i RGB Platinum; Samsung 970 Evo 1TB; Samsung 850 Evo 500GB; WD Black 3 TB; Phanteks 350x; Corsair RM19750w.

 

Laptop: Dell XPS 15 4K 9750H GTX 1650 16GB Ram 256GB SSD

Do understand that PC isn't built yet, I just have a list of planed parts, I plan on going with two GTX 780 Ti's in SLI, and It's going to be a graduation gift for myself. As long as the monitors don't cost any more then around 1.5 grand for all three. And I'm willing to swich my gpu plans to go with your guy's input.

You can run 1440p with a single 290x, which goes for ~$300 on reddit and eBay. You can get 60fps w/ low AA & high details no problem [Source (One of Many)]. Not to be rude, but I have no idea where you got the $2,500 number from.

He said he wanted surround. Surround 1440, running @ decent Settings, 60 FPS. 2 290's barely ran it at normal (Linus's surround build), Multi GPU scaling's would not likely max it.

 

Amazing sentence structure their.

I sort of skipped the OP, saw 1440p was unrunable w/o $2,500 and sort of went aggro. Sorry about that :P

Change duel 780 Ti's to Duel 980's. Depending on the models you use for both you can probably get away with a third 980. Don't know if it's worth it (Not sure about the scaling on the new cards). 

 

And 3 of these if you want 24" IPS @ 1080p. http://www.amazon.com/Asus-VS247H-P-23-6-Inch-Full-HD-LED-Lit/dp/B005BZNDS0/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1411517810&sr=1-2&keywords=Monitor

 

Or 3 of these for 27" @ 1440p http://www.amazon.com/Acer-K272HUL-bmiidp-27-inch-Widescreen/dp/B00JB6HCIC/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1411517906&sr=1-2&keywords=Monitor

I am going for Tri-Monitors using Asus VN247H monitors, they have slim bezels and are beautiful screens, only issue is that they are 1080p (But it is 5760x1080 in total?)

 

 

Amazing sentence structure their.

 

Brb, crying internally.

Alright and does the 980 have 3 or 4 gb VRAM, because I looked and it said 3gb, Idk if it was because it was reference or what. And also will it push the triple 1440p?

Why would you get 780 tis? Get 2 980s instead. They perform better for less money
