Okay, I've made a monster, my friend is getting 3 of these, to my knowlege only AMD can run 3 of These each at 4K at 60Hz, so I know I he'll need 3 7970s, my qeustion is Vram and AA
what type of AA will do a good job but also not break the bandwidth/capcity limit at 2x AA which I don't even think he'll need but whatever
I'm saying he's going to need the 6GB version right
I think 16:9 8K (internal) took up almost 3GB on PCSX2 without AA on persona 3
30hz 4k sorry I forgot to mention
120hz 1080p
its misleading
I lied, I think the reviewers are illinformed, itmight actually be 4k @120hz
Dont need AA at 112.97 Pixels Per inch per screen. If you factor in spanning all 3 screens you are still over 100 Pixels per inch across all 3 screens.
Skyrim with a ton of mods would bring quad titans to their knees at that resolution
Holy shit, 3 4k monitors, that's like 7 grand for just the minitors. If you're using 3 4k monitors get 4 titan then or await for the 9000 series.
Oh sorry never mind, I thought you were going to get the new asus 4k monitors So never mind. Why would you need 3 of them, its already pretry big, it would be better to get 5 1080p displays and place them vertically Just my opinion.
I would suggest holding of until the 9xxx series cards. I don't know if 7970s would be able to push games at 3x4k.

PPI on 39 inch screens is a lot smaller than 31.5 like the Asus ones. Regardless his friend shouldn't need any AA on those screens at 100.18 PPI with that resolution spanned across 117 inches of monitors.
well I read that you can do 60hz with MST and dual streaming display ports

this says it can do 4K at 60hz with a single display port, and 3 7970s
and he plays GTA IV and V when it comes out so nothing too GPU dependent they'll have to run at 8x because his soon to be 3930K will run out of Lanes, he'll have a sound card and wifi adaptor too
Bragging rights, and now that you mention it. Anyone remember this http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tzvfzJq3VTU&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DtzvfzJq3VTU
imagine doing that with 25 of these

CPU intensive games and emulation dont use much GPU these days. Most of the GPU grunt and VRAM usage comes from using AA. With 100.18 PPI spanned across 117 inches of screen realestate I find it hard to condone the use of AA.
They used Dirt 3 in that link with custom drivers. Compare Dirt 3 to the other games in the link I posted (which I think would be a good representation of graphic intensive games like Skyrim, BF3, and future games like BF4 as well). It looks like Dirt 3 is incredibly easy to push. Unless your friend doesn't plan on playing really graphics intensive games, or just can't wait, I say hold out.
