1080p surround or 1440p monitor

[blindsighted26]

hi after xmas i need to buy my self a/some monitors but im not sure what to get 3 x 1080p or 1 x 1440p monitors

 

My system spec :

 

3770k @ 4.5 ghz

16gb dominator platinum @ 1866Mhz 

Gtx 780 (msi reference card )

( All Custom Water-cooled )

 

 

the other option is to just buy a G-sync monitor when we see price and stuff 

 

what is the best way to go im just trying to look and see how much i will be needing . i want somthing that will strech my 780 and drop the FPS down to the 50-60 FPS mark with the 1440p monitor would i have to go sli or are the fps on im most games out now ?

 

I have eye sight problems ( sever sight loss ) so reading my pc monitor is hard would a 1440p monitor help with this ? so i am very good at picking out the tearing and stutter im game as i have to focus on a centrel point of the screen

Most people highly overrate current GPUs power… If I am too give you an example will Metro: Last Light with everything maxed run a 22.7 FPS on a 2560*1440 monitor.

I would personally just go with a very good 1440P monitor, but I would go SLI with another 780.@

EDIT: Here is a video from Linus at 1440P resolution showing some demanding games

well three 1080p = 5760x1080p

vs 1 1440p monitor....

 

Just remember you will need to have decent GPU power to power eyefinity/sourround

Thank you @Titanicium that was very helpful

I've actually considered the same and came to the conclusion that a single 1440p monitor like the QNIX QX2710 Evolution II or the ASUS PB278Q are the way to go depending on your budget.

a single 780 on 1080p surround is going to involve setting a lot of settings to medium probably. two will handle most games at max on 1080p surround though - but of course that's a much bigger budget jump than just choosing a monitor

I'm wondering since I'm in the market to build a gaming rig. with one of the cheap Korean monitors and i thought i saw that the gtx 780 can max out most games. And that on some you can lower the settings since its minimal improvement. I think Logan from Tek and awsomesauce said this, but don't quote me. So my question is should you buy a gtx 780 ti or wait for the 880 since ill build my rig. in January or after Christmas.

If you aren't in a real rush. I would for sure wait. If you don't want to wait. Then do absolutely consider AMD R9 cards. These cards are great for higher resolution. My 280x toxic card beats the 780 in some benchmarks and stays close to it in others. (reference 780 I believe tho, not sure)

 

Here are some 1440p benchmarks.

Here are some 5780x1080p benchmarks. 

 

Sadly no R9-290 in these tests. So.. 

 

Here are some R9-290 benchmarks

 

DO NOTE: I don't think that they do overclock the cards for the benchmarks.

you're going to always be waiting if you want to play the waiting game. pc tech world (especially graphics) is always leap frogging itself

I have Dell U2713HM and some random cheap Asus 1080p. I love my Dell but like to have two screens. Preferably 3 Dells, but don't have 1000 € to spend on monitors...
