Gtx 590 or 6990 on 3 x 1080p?

Post by Krth8 »

BF3 is right around the corner.

A new of the same card as i have now 5870 2 gb is still pretty expensive så thought i would just sell it and buckle up.

Witch of these cards will handle good graphics better on 3 screens?

Will they be able to run full graphics on all 3? Maybe with low antialiasing?

Would be hard to say really. I would wait till the "open" beta hits, as that should give a better idea of performance. Buying before something is released is always a risky business.

My money would go towards the 6990, and the appropriate case ventilation, and/ or water cooling, and/ or meaty power supply to stop it killing everything :)

Quoted for truth, wait for the game in order to decide what you want for a card.
Professional... well I'll figure that out.

Even basing buying off the beta is probably a bad idea. Beta drivers are flying ATM, and combine beta drivers with beta game and... well, it's really not pretty.
