x3 1080p 23" Monitors - Single GPU??

[MrYuriy]

I'll keep this post simple..

 

As you have probably guessed from the name of the topic..

Will I have absolutely any problems with running x3 23" 1080p Monitors with a Single GPU?

 

GPU: EVGA GTX 780 DualFTW ACX (Overclocked)

Monitors: ASUS MX239H IPS Panels (60Hz)

 

The rest of my current PC is in my profile, in case you need to see something.

PS: They will be setup side-by-side in Landscape with NVidia Surround for gaming.

It will be fine as long as you turn down from ultra.

Awesome! What a great resource. Thanks so much for those links. Gonna go read them right now.

Damn.. Do I really need to turn down from ultra/max settings?

I really did not want to do that.... So are you sure? How much effect would it be if I did play on Ultra? What FPS, any negative effects, etc?

Your welcome. I know you wanted to play in triple screen 5760x1080p but why not in portrait. Maybe you could turn one off during a gaming session and then turn you settings to ultra.

Well you can clearly see that all games run below 60 on ultra in guru3d review.

Surround is a novelty, but it's not really an optimal gaming experience.  As a result, you shouldn't be too disappointed with the lack of performance with just a 780.  2560x1440 is sexier anyway.

You would probably want a second 780 if you want to run ultra with 60fps for the newer games.

Idk, just never was a big fan of portrait.. Then again, I've never tried it. But the mount I got is articulating, so.. I'll give it a spin! Literally.

And that's definitely not a bad idea. Surely a possibility, playing with just two screens for the sake of max settings haha.

Yeah, after reading that article (which helped a lot) I can see that now. But that article is a year old today (exactly) so wouldn't new drivers & such help towards performance?

True story there. And I'm not. SLI with another 780 is definitely something I've always wanted.. But since I can play just fine and lower AA or something and still have good FPS, I'll hold off for a decent price drop considering I just spent $800 on monitors + mount.

I've learned that now. But I can always lower a setting or two, if need be.

But sooner or later I'll have a second 780 anyways.

 

 

Thanks everyone! My question has been answered above and beyond.

@MrYuriy nice build you got there . I just had a look.

 

BTW, I keep thinking that your name is MrYurly instead of MrYuriy.

Thanks man I surely like it.

As far as my name.. you are SO not alone.. I don't know why, but everyone thinks my name has an L in it. I guess because in proper English, "i" or "y" being at the end of a word is somewhat unique. Especially that mine has both, lol. Not to mention, it's a Russian name; so it makes sense.

Ohh, thanks so much! Thumbs up for sure. This gives me an exact idea of my performance.

 

You're just using one GTX 780, right?

I am using one ASUS GTX 660 DCII

 

of course settings are mid/high not ultra + 2x AA

Even more so, that gives my GTX 780 OC even more hope..

The gameplay seemed just fine, and I presume was at around ~35-40 FPS. Which if I get with Ultra+AA, then I will be a happy camper. I'm okay with lowering a setting or two, though, as I said - until I adapt a brother for my current 780.
