Triple 1080p

[Gavins23]

Hello, I was wondering if a 2700, a 1070ti, and 16gb of ram would be enough for some triple monitor gaming. On highest setting on games like fortnight. And on at least med settings on pubg and stuff. And if I’m being really stupid I haven’t even had a gaming capable computer ever so take it a little easy.

Do you already have the stuff

[Gavins23]

No that’s why I’m asking.

I just wouldn't then.IMO multiple monitor gaming isn't really that great and for a decent setup,I would just buy a ultrawide

Are you running the game in an ultrawide setup (all three monitors running the game)? Or do you just want one monitor with the game, and the other 2 will be utilised for other programs? That will make a large difference in the GPU power required.

I want it for ultra wide monitor gaming.

I’m planing on using some benq gw2480s

I would rather have 3 monitors than have 1 ultra wide. Because the 3 monitors together cost 450$ and a decent ultra wide cost ~350.

Ok, in that case, your system will have to push a resolution of 5760 by 1080 which is close to as many pixels as 4k (6m vs 8m). It would be better if you tried to stretch for a 2070 or a 1080/1080ti and maybe drop the CPU down to a Ryzen 5 or i5 (unless you plan on using it for anything other than gaming and general web browsing).

I’m planning on ocing the 1070ti which in some cases can be a little better than a stock 1080 gpu. And I’m going to start rendering and modeling in blender and the 2700 helps with its 8 cores and 16 threads.

Hmm well it seems you already know what you want, and yes, the 8 cores provided by the 2700 will be very useful in applications like blender. Also, a 1070ti overclocked will indeed perform similarly to a 1080 (they share the same GP104 architecture), and if you do plan to overclock obviously save the money and get the 1070ti. If you can, try to stretch your budget and get one of the new 20 series cars or a 1080ti, other than that, you seem to be ready to order?

A decent single ultrawide is by all means much superior gaming experience than 2 or 3 lesser screens put together.

Actually I think your right by me getting a 20 series card. Like the 2080. Because I currently don’t have a job or have any money saved up(as In I’m still in grade school and can’t currently get a job yet) and the RTX cards would be out for a while I could probably get a cheaper card by then.

 

Also I’m planning on building this next summer.
