Yes. Assuming no other requirements.

If they're the 4gb versions, it'll be decent

 

(I'm assuming you'll be gaming on all 3)

I'll game on 1 most of the time but some times I'll use all 3 to game

Get a single 780 or a 7950/7970 CF instead for gaming across 3 screens.

Go for a single 780 or wait for something like a 790 if you really want SLI.
 

IMO:

1) Single card GPU is ALWAYS BETTER as SLI doesn't always scale or doesn't always work. :)

2) The Amount of vram on a 780 is better

3) If you must go with SLI, Get the 790 less power draw and more stable than 2 separate GPU's

4) Less cards = Less Heat = Better Performance

5) With a 780 your upgrade cycle with be longer as you can add another GPU later on. Also has better resale value. :D

 

Hope this helps.

I wouldn't say MUCH better performance, but yea it does have better performance

Umm, a 7950 crossfire is better then sli 760, THEN a 7970 CROSSFIRE is MUCH better then SLI 760!

Plus more ram, more memory bus, 8 free AAA games!

NOT only that but 7990 is AWEOME, literally BEST value card EVER!

Double check everything, I am usually wrong.

I am not disagreeing with you it just isn't "MUCH" better, it is just better
