Hi, y'all. I have a fairly robust rig (a quad-core machine with 16 gig of RAM) running a GTX 670 card and Windows 7, and I'd like to set it up for a triple-monitor orientation. Mainly for games and video editing work. My first question involves the monitors. Do all three have to have the same resolution and refresh rates? |

With surround all monitors need to have the same resolution. I aspect although you can use for example 2 monitors with 60hz and 1 with 120hz, all will be set to 60hz when you activate surround mode. I would suggest that for video editing or any other desktop use you activate extended desktop. |

The monitor I have now is 16:10 ratio, 1680x1050 @60Hz, and it's running through the DVI port. If I ran three monitors, one would have to run off of the card's HDMI port. So my next question is over which'd be better: buy two more 16:10 monitors of the above specs, and run them through the DVI and HDMI ports, or buy three 16:9 monitors that run at 1920x1080, and run them through the HDMI and DVI ports. |

I would buy 3x 1920x1080 monitors. Same manufacturer, same model and same batch. DVI and HDMI has the same digital signal, so which ports u use shouldn’t matter. |
