Widescreen Gaming Forum

Gaming is amazing on triple setups. The immersion is one step before VR. I am still in awe of games like Dirt 3/Showdown, Serious Sam 3, and other "out-of-the-box" multi-mon experiences.

Work-wise, I have never been more efficient. I'll have multiple documents that are related to the ones I am working on, decreasing the amount of times I have to alt-tab. It is hard to work of setups without multi-mon now.

On a side note, cybereality, as in the Oculus Community Manager cybereality?

ASUS RoG Implies that G-Sync does work in Surround:

How do I setup Surround Gaming [for 3x PG278Q in triple monitor setup]?
“My graphics card only has 1 DP: can I convert DVI/HDMI to DP?”

A: Currently to enable surround [triple monitor] G-Sync you will need 3 GPUs in triple SLI configuration.

I don't use Surround right now (TH2G) but was looking into it in the near future. Is there a chance that support of G-Sync in Surround is only specific to some products (such as the new Swift monitor)?

Curious if anyone knows.

Yes, I am the Oculus cybereality. Love VR, but I'd like to experience everything else that's out there.

I have NVidia surround and I think it's worth it. I run only 2 GPU setups, 3 just doesnt seem worth the price/performance ratio in my opinion.

I do recommend getting a SB-E/IB-E (or a Maxwell-E if you can afford it) for the 2x 16x PCI-E slots. For single cards it doesnt matter, but you'll find for multi-mon/gpu setups it does plan a large factor in performance.

NVidia drivers seem to be a little bit more fleshed out and stable, but AMD is really good too.

The last time I did some research this wasn't the case. Can you post a source or your own findings?

I run an Nvidia Surround setup off a single 670 and I love it. It's the most immersive improvement you can make. There are few games that I can't run in triple-screen off a single card.

After trying my triple-screen setup, my wife and two friends all adopted multi-monitor systems.

If you're going to get three monitors anyway - and you should, even just for productivity - try Surround with a single card. If you like it and want more graphics power, you could add another then.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Probably wait a few months for the new Nvidia cards to hit, but Surround is certainly looking like something to check out.

Let's just say, I'll never go back Strobing > G-Sync in my opinion. Motion blur is the devil to me, lol.

3x BenQ XL2720Z strobing monitors solved that little problem for me Gaming at 120 fps minimum = as smooth as it can possibly get and no mouse lag!

I'd just like to follow up and say that I got them and it's totally worth it. Really love this setup.





Thanks for the support, guys.
