gpu for 5670x1080

[voaz]

Get any GPU with 3GB vRam atleast.

i was thinking about a hd 7970/orhd 7950 would a gtx 690 be a bad idea ?

The R9 280X is the least expensive card that I'd recommend getting for a triple monitor setup and AMD really has the market with Eyefinity when it comes to a multiple monitor setup.

 

If you can afford a R9 290 that would be your best bet when it comes to the performance for the price and it would handle that high of a resolution better than the 280X.

Dual gpu cards can have issues.

Here is a real world example:

I am running 5760x1080 Eyefinity with Trifire 7970 3gb versions.

 

That setup runs BF3 Ultra in Eyefinity with framerates that I find smooth. Which means above 60 and preferably no dips below 60.

I've also run Hitman Absolution close to Ultra, but it didn't quite make it smooth enough for me so had to lower some settings.

 

Here is the bottom line:

It really depends on what you find acceptable in terms of framerate you feel is playable for you and the amount of eyecandy you want to go for. And above all it depends on the title you are playing and how well it works overall. Also if you run SLI or Crossfire those can be big issues with some titles. For example Assassin's Creed 3 was a mess at launch for eyefinity where as earlier AC titles worked just fine for me at least.

There are loads of eyefinity/surround/multi monitor reviews out there on the internets that tell you how well you can expect some titles to run on certain graphics cards.

sell the 7870 and get something along the lines of R9 290/ 290X,   GTX780, GTX Titan

 

in this case more VRAM is actually good (hint hint R9 290)

this one http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/product_index.aspx?pid=1497&lid=1

Don't buy this one. It has a larger ram amount than the buffer can actually supply. A 7970 is 3 Gb capable even if 5241 Gb is soldered to the pcb.

690 have "2GB" of eVram (not 4GB friend)

[skitz9417]

so the choices i have are r9 290x/290 gtx titna/780 or r9 280x 

[A10-FTW]

so the choices i have are r9 290x/290 gtx titna/780 or r9 280x

 

i will say the R9 280x (my next card to )

 

but if you can reach to a R9 290 (or the R9 290x / 780 / Titan / 780ti) go for it

i guess i will saving up for a while oh well

[skitz9417]

quick question with titan will i be able to use all 6gbs ?

[A10-FTW]

oh yes, there is only one GPU so the vram will not split in two  :lol:

some new games that are coming out and i dont use aa fxaa msaa or any of the otherthing that kill ur vram

[skitz9417]

actually what res would be one 1080p and two 1600x900 screens 

[Piggy]

If the world is perfect get a 780 4gb edition

[skitz9417]

ok hd 7870 would handle a them on med settings with no aa or msaa 

[skitz9417]

ok hd 7870 would handle a them on med settings with no aa or msaa for 3x screens so one 1080p and two 1600x900

[skitz9417]

ok so the hd 7970 or gtx 780 i may go for the hd 7970 because i may be able to get it for cheap 

[skitz9417]

I personally run a 6,000 x 1080 set up with a 7850. (3, 24 inch monitors.)

I run on max graphics, and have 30 FPS minimum.
