TripleHead2Go or Nvidia?

Post by Uldred101 »

Greetings all,

I was always happy with one monitor, which 2yrs ago I went to a wide screen monitor. Now, I'm 2-4 months away from having a new computer built and I'm seriously thinking about going to 3 monitors. With building a new computer around three monitors in mind, which route would be best: TripleHead2Go or NVidia 3DVS?

I know I have a ton of other questions, but I guess I'll start there and work from it.

Thanks for any help.

There aren't really too many benefits to picking the TH2Go, I'd go surround. UNLESS, there are games you want to play that don't play well with SLI.
System Core: | Intel Core i5-2500K + ASUS P8Z68-V + 16GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1333 MHz | Win7 x64 | MSI R7970 Lightning 3GB [1105/1400] |
Display: | 3 x Dell Ultrasharp 3007WFP-HC @ 7680x1600 | Dell u3011 |

nVidia Surround, from what I can work out, isn't really "SLI" in the strictest sense. It's a weird sort of half-SLI.

That being said, if you're running Windows 7, and don't want to play GRID, there is no reason to go with TripleHead2Go. If you want to play old XP games, then a Matrox box might be easier. :D
