multimonitor CPU requirements

[Towsif Rahman]

Is CORE I5 6500 is enough for gaming in three 1080 p monitor surround gaming .

[Electronics Wizardy]

its fine, but depends on the whole system.

yes the CPU is fine but what graphics card are you using?

CPU is less important than GPU. For triple 1080@60 go with a 1070.

oh gosh at least. that is already 75% the pixels of 4k and the 1070 isn't exactly excellent at that resolution. might want a 1080 for the extra performance if your aim is to always be over 60 fps in all games without having to sacrifice graphical quality. it would depend on the games you're playing... but if you can afford 3x monitors, I don't think a 1080 would be out of your price range.

970 and 980, [for their time], actually handled 5760x1080@60 in multiple AAA games.

yes. "for their time". we're now in the time of 1070 and 1080. if he wants to be able to run games at ultra/max for more than a year, or if hes planning on monitors more than 60 hz refresh rate, he should get a GTX 1080 imo.

On the igpu no, not at all. You will need at least a rx 480/gtx 1060 for at least 60hz, at medium settings, if you play lower end games though a rx 460 can handle esport type games at that resolution.

Let me make it clear... I am going to use 3 Samsung 21.5 inch 1080p LED monitors which will cost around $400 and my demand is 50-60 fps in medium high settings in the latest games and high ultra settings for little older or low spec games ... So I decided to buy a gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 XTREME GAMING for my demand . Isn't that will be enough??

You should be alright. You will have to turn some things down to be able to handle it in some of the harder games like witcher 3 and GTA 5. If you max eveything out on ultra you'll be running like 40fps lol. If you scale just  handful of things back though you should be able to get GTA 5 into the 70s or 80s though. The better bet would've been a 1080 but you said you already have a 1070 so it will make due. If you had three 144hz monitors as well then 1080 SLI is definitely what you would want if you wanted to run ultra and get in that 100-144 range most of the time. Sounds like your monitors are 60hz though so that 1070 and 6500 should handle it pretty well with a few setting tweaks.

You'll be more than fine with the 1070 as you'll likely be pushing about 80 frames in all but the toughest of games.
