So, I currently have one monitor (In my signature)

 

And I have a few questions about a triple monitor setup:

 

Would my R9 290 be able to play most games with a triple 1080p setup (AAA at medium settings, but minecraft at max settings?)

 

Is a triple monitor setup worth it?

 

Also, I would get two of these. Not the same as my current one, but same size

More monitors is absolutely worth it, but 1080*3 might be a bit of a struggle on AAA titles. Mine craft will have no problem though.

Also, on mobile data right now so I won't be opening that link but make sure it's got VESA mounts as eventually you will want to mount it to the wall, I promise.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

my current one can't be mounted, but I might get a really nice 1440p 144hz ips one later on.

Depends on the complexity of the minecraft world. if it's very complex and/or borderline crazy then you won't be able to do it. (My 770 would get 30-60 fps on a single 1080p monitor if i did).

 

As for all other games, you can but it has no benefit. Game on one and have 2 others for other stuff so you never have to alt tab or leave your game! So in case you need to look at a mod review to see how a mod works cos you've installed one and don't know how it works. Just open chrome tab in other monitor.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.
