Multi Display setup question

[manofsteel]

Hi,

 

So i plan to make my PC a gaming / light graphic machine and for that i need atleast 2 monitors and one will be for gaming/drawing and second will be for watchin yt or smth else. So i wanted to buy 980 gtx from geforce but my plan did change due to some reasons and now i wonder if i should buy 970 gtx lets from msi or evga or R9 390 Sapphire  ( i know many will point this as winner but before you do that hear me out to the end). IF i get 970  and plug it to 2 monitor (which will be at max 144p resolution with maybe 100 Mhz refresh rate ) and second one to my CPU integraded graphic (i got i5 6600k OC'ed to 4,4 GHz stable for now) will it be good ? OR just put r9 390 and plug 2 monitors at once straight to GPU ? 

 

AND YES i know that r9 390 has potential to crush 970 but drivers are scarin me (and no i dont want to hear about recent nvidia's fail because they got it like once in ages unlike rads which is painful ) and i am mostly an mmo player that will propably play titles like Blade and Soul or Black Desert unless i change mind/better games wont come.

 

Cheers,

If you are going to game on one monitor, I would suggest to go for a 970. I know ATI has more video memory, but most games don't use more than 3.5GB VRAM right now. And even if you buy a 970, you can plug both your monitors into your GPU. 970 can take 3 displays with no sweat, as my current setup, I have 3 1080p displays, and I game only on one display. So it doesn't really matter that much.

If you have GPU install your CPU igpu get disabled ... i would get 390 and plug both of your monitor into GPU, it really depend what game you are playing. If you are willing to turn down some graphical settings you can reach 100fps range for newer games.

Yes, it is super power efficient, and not that noisy either!

thats not what i meant by my post earlier. What i did mean is that it has been either badly presented on market side or its hardware was cut down for some reason (3,5 GB of Vram, memory bus is not what it should be and so on ) ...
