What graphics card do I need?

[Chuckie95]

Hi I currently have a multi-monitor set up and was wondering what graphics card I will need in my next build so I can game on all 3 screens.

Link to monitors - PQ27 Pro. Its a 27" 1440p 165Hz capable screen.

Aiming to play between 60 - 120 fps depending on the game.

I was told by local custom PC builders that I would need a 3080 in order to push the number of pixels. Not sure if they were trying to up-sell me on the product or if its really necessary. Would appreciate some advice.

 

Rest of the build spec in my previous post.

 

Edit: Games - Satisfactory, Minecraft (want to try with ray tracing), Cyberpunk, Assassins Creed

Workload - CAD modelling (Fusion 360)

Depends on the games you play, but I have a 3070 with a similar monitor and I'm able to reach well over 60-120fps.

hey me again!

 

the 3080 really is what you need. 3070 could work but you might not be able to play on high settings @144fps especially valhalla

Hi, I edited my post to include the games I play. Mostly single player open world types. Are you using Nvidia surround to spread the game onto all 3 screens? I've tried using it many years ago but found the software to be a hassle, hoping for other recommendations as well.

Sorry, I meant that I have a single 27" 1440p 165Hz monitor. I can't give any advice on stretching it across your three monitors.

Id google some benchmarks for valhalla with the 3070 and 3080 to see what is good enough for you
