A 1060 6GB CAN run triple 1080p on some games. There was someone on the forum who was doing that @Houndz199. Maybe ask him for help

Oh ok cool, good to know

 

@Houndz199, have you tested this? if so, what settings, resolution and FPS did you get when testing?

Also, can your 1060GB 6GB handle 1440p on a single monitor? if so, what type of FPS did you get for that also?

YaqinHasan is correct, I do only want to play on one monitor but if a GTX 1060 can really handle triple monitor gaming (Which I doubt it cannot handle) then I can try it, but idk if it will work. Middle monitor for gaming, left and monitors for chrome or another application.

 

Very good value/price but would prefer one with 3x of the same output (DisplayPort or HDMI).

 

Ya reckon?

Think I'll still get good FPS on most of today's games like Witcher 3, GTA V, BF1 etc etc..... at 1080p Ult / 1440p?

 

So, you think NVIDIA would be better or not really? Not quite sure what you mean.

 

 

 

 

Oh and I forgot to mention to all, my GPU is currently a NVIDIA GPU which I'll be upgrading from.

GTX 1060 can handle 1080p ultra to about 1440p medium-high, as long as you don't try to game on all 3 monitors, you should be fine. Even if you do try to game on 3 monitors, the card itself will probably limit you more than the VRAMin i t anyway

Hi, havent used 1440p with my card. The only games where my Cpu is a clear bottle neck is gta V and metro games, otherwise i havent found anything that bottle necks it. The gx 1060 is a 1080p killer, combo it with a more recent cpu and youll get ultra on a lot of todays titles. It works well on my surround setup, I just wouldnt recommend it just becuase I dont think the surround is worth it

I see. So do you think 1080p High / Ultra at least with my CPU (AMD FX 8350) would work well with an EVGA GTX 1060 perhaps or not really? I know my CPU is fairly old but would it suffice do you think in terms of temperatures, performance etc..?

 

Kind of thinking about a new PC but I dunno, will have to think about it.

I think with the fx8350 youd get the full potential of your system.
