can i run x3 2k?

[Bajantechnician]

Can i run x3 of this monitors @120htz @ ultra/high setting with watercooled 3-4 r9 290x?

note: i will be watercooling the cards

thx

[amintha1992]

you dont need 4  290x to run that

 

2 290x is more than enough.

 

oh ya and that display is only 1080p

 

if you thought it was 1440p

 

then two or more 290x is required, but that is not rerecorded

 

get 2 780tis or something like that.  the scaling is much better.

2k?

There's no 2k here.

[dragoon20005]

full HD bro

 

anyway it almost 4k resolutions

 

3/4 of 4K to be exact

 

but pushing 120 fps which is more than 60 fps

 

dual 290x might not be enough for 120 fps

 

three GPU might seem to be the sensible setup 

 

 

no need for Lightning cards

 

go for the reference 290x if you going full watercooling

i got the wrong monitors. its supposed to be x3 2k monitors. is there a such thing as 3k? if there is, is 3-4 r9 290x enough ro run 3 3k monitors? thx

no.. there are no 3k monitores... i hope when you say 2k you mean 2560x144p right?

 

3 of those have 30% more pixels than a 4K display.

 

here is a good video about your questions

2560x1440 is only around 3.7 mega pixels 

 

but with 3 monitor setups, 2 GPU will have trouble pushing that many pixels excess of 11.3 mega pixels and way above 8.8 mega pixels of the typical 4K panel

 

which is why you see only 4 GPU setups for multi-screen gaming

No, nothing currently available can run 3x 1440p or above monitors at 60fps consistently in every game, let alone 120

 

Can you do it and play games? Yes, but probaly not the best experiance, if you want surround stick to 1080p if you want super definition get a single 1440p or 4k monitor, (in my opinion anyway)

2k as in 1440. so would you guys recomend 1080p @120htz or 2k @ 60htx. thx

[dragoon20005]

2k as in 1440. so would you guys recomend 1080p @120htz or 2k @ 60htx. thx

higher res is better than more fps

 

but you need to look at 4 way Crossfire to be viable

so 2k?

for me personally 120/144hz is not a selling point. 60 is more than enogh for me. i care more about the resolution and the color accuracy more than anything. 

for a multi monitor setup i would recommend something that is not using a TN panel. IPS or PLS is recommended.

[dragoon20005]

so 2k?

yes go for 1440P IPS monitors like the Asus PB278Q or Dell U2713HM

[amintha1992]

yes go for 1440P IPS monitors like the Asus PB278Q or Dell U2713HM

this... 

 

resolution and panel quality before refresh rate.

 

unless you are a professional gamer who plays only twitch shooters than a 144hz display makes sense. but everyone else should look at the rest of the specs as well.

Why Go Crossfirex The Scaling Is Horrid. Sli Scaling Is Much Better

[Wano97]

Isn't 2k simply 1080p :rolleyes ?

[7850OC]

one single R9 290 can run 1080p 1080p 1080p easy friend  :rolleyes:

 

it have the Vram :wub:

 

and the power (not sure how much fps on Valley 3x1080p or tomb raider, it be a cool info if any know this)  :huh:

 

of course two R9 290X is better :lol:

 

and four even more 

 

but yea, the 290 line... can do it  B)

Well duh, but he wants to play it on ultra, which isn't possible with 1 290, and sustain 120fps

I'm also gonna mine currency, is crossfire that bad? So how many 290xs do I need to play 1440 x3 @120hz htz @ ultra/high

[Wano97]

  I'm also gonna mine currency, is crossfire that bad? So how many 290xs do I need to play 1440 x3 @120hz htz @ ultra/high

3 or 4 290xs, if you really want to maintain 120FPS on the highest possible settings with 1440p

Mining currency isn't worth it anymore

why isn't it worth it anymore? Is crossfire also that bad .

[BiG StroOnZ]

Because GPU mining is dead, or at least not profitable anymore. No Crossfire tends to scale better than SLI with more than 2 cards.

I personally would go with 3 gtx 780's

You're better off with the R9 290 series. They have a larger VRAM buffer to utilize at higher resolutions and they scale better in multiple-GPU configurations.
