Guys,

I wanna know which one is likely going to be easier to set up, and better overall... I wanna hear your preference and why you prefer one and not the other.

What are the benefits/drawbacks of both? I know that next year that will be completely useless cuz the Rift is going to be coming...but just for my information...

I wouldn't buy a gpu based exclusively on this, but I think eyefinity is a little more flexible than nvsurround as it allows for different resolution screens.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Hmm, ok. Well anyways, I was anyways looking for same resolution screens... I just wanted to know. Ty very much.

 

Anyways, there is no reason to go for it for gaming anymore. Oculus is next year, I would save money for that and maybe a new GPU.

Well, I wouldn't say there's no reason since only a (relative) handful of games will support oculus at release and older titles certainly never will, but if that's not a problem for you then sure, the rift is the way forward.

Don't worry, older games can still get a remasters and support (unlikely though) if there is a community strongly supporting them. But new games made for Virtual Reality, will look different (like menus are not supposed to be appear stuck on your face), and so they will only be good for Oculus or other VR headsets, however, not for monitors/tv ... So it will be good enough to just keep my monitor for movies and work...even though movies will also gain a virtual support at some point.
