Hello! I have a few questions regarding graphics cards.

 

First of all, here is my setup so you know what I'm running;

 

Intel Core i7 4770 CPU @ 3,4GHz

Asus Z97-A Motherboard

2 sticks of 4gb DDR3 RAM @ 1600MHz

Corsair 750W RM series PSU

Gainward GeForce GTX760 2GB

 

 

My first question is this;

 

I want to run 3 monitors @ 5760x1080p. Is this possible?

Do I need another graphics card with SLI?

 

If so, can my Gainward GeForce GTX760 2GB run SLI with an 

ASUS GeForce GTX 760 2GB?

 

Can my 750W PSU handle 2 graphics cards?

 

 

Any pointers and help is greatly appriciated

Thanks!

VRAM doesnt stack so the only benefit you would get is added performance and that is not guaranteed.

Just sell your current card and get a r9 290.

since you have only 2gb ram that will limit your performance in a 3x1080p set up. you could sli and run it at lower texture quality and no aa but i'd recommend going with a single 290x. for the price, you'd get much better performance.
