SLI Maximum resolution

[TamasNemeth]

Hello, I want to ask that does SLI doubles maximum resoluton. I have one gtx 960 4g (max res.: 5120x3200), and I want to have a triple screen setup in such a way that the middle screen is a 21:9 (2560x1080), all together would make up 6800x1080. Here another 960 would only cost 40k, but a 1060 could go up as 110k, however that can handle that resolution. (I play simulators, not graphic hungry titles) Thanks!

sli doesn't affect max resolution at all, thats determined by the ports on the card.

 

The max resolution on the card is per monitor, you can have a highercombined resolution. 

 

You can drive your wanted monitor config off one card if you want.

SLI doesn't necessarily "increase" your maximum resolution. It more so boosts the performance of the first GPU. The more GPUs you run in SLI, the easier it will be to run multiple high resolution displays. You could run your setup off of one GPU. It would strain your 960 quite a bit, but a 1060 shouldn't suffer too much.

You can run the surround setup as the that's a max res per port, depending. You main concern is getting surround to work with different horizontal resolutions. 

 

Unless you mean just running 3 monitors and not actually doing surround. As 960's are gonna struggle with that, unless the games are old or easy to run.

Thanks everyone!
