So i was thinking of building a dual monitor setup, one superwide 3440x1440 and one 2560x1440. My PC currently has one MSI gtx 980. Was wondering if this would be enough to handle the two monitors or whether i would need a better gpu, maybe go sli?

The 980 should be more then enough some lower end cards support duel monitors

Console is better because its cheaper ~console peasants

Kind of confusing topic. OP states in the headline three monitors, but then talks about two.. typo?

 

If you want to use two monitors and just one for gaming the GTX980 will be alright for 1440p. If you really mean a Surround setup with one GTX980 in 1440p, that´s not going to work out unless you play 10 year old games.

I read this as cups.

 

And you will have issues with the one 1440 as stated previously.

If anyone asks you never saw me.
