Nvidia Surround w/ 670 4gb

Building a mITX rig soon.  Will a SINGLE gtx 670 4gb gfx card run x3 1080p monitors comfortably with max eye candy on in games like bf3 or gw2?  By comfortably i mean in the 40-60 fps region.

No. You'll need alot more for a triple monitor setup.

Not a chance, 2 680s would be getting pushed with that.

I agree, a single 670 will not do the job. I would say, get a 690, as you won't be able to get 2 cards in a mITX build.

The reason why you'll need 2 single-GPU cards when you're going to do Surround 3D with 3 monitors is because a single GPU can only handle up to 2 displays. That's why on the GTX 690 it has 3 DVI ports. 2 would communicate with one GPU, while the last one would communicate to the other. And you would have one more room left for another signal.

 

Not with Kepler, a single GPU (GK104, GK106, GK107) can run up to 4 screens.

Hey guys thanks for your opinions!  Looks like ill just be getting a 2gb 670 and sticking to 1 display.  Personally I can't justify spending $1000+ on 1 component (690)

This is true.  Surround on 3 monitors and 1 accesssory monitor
