dont worry you can run 3 monitors off 1 680
it was about time that nvidia finally jumped on the 1gpu card running 3 monitors that amd have been doing for a while now
so go for that if its financially possible

But will a 680 be able to handle 5760x1080 maxed? Or should I go for two of whatever card?

Maxed what? Battlefield 3 no, MW3 yes. It really depends on the particular game, but definitely not all.

I suppose that's true. Currently I'm playing Borderlands 2, but I do have BF3 Premium too :) I also play lots of Minecraft, but that's more CPU intensive than anything :P I suppose it depends on the game how well Crossfire/SLI scales as well? For example, two cards isn't necessarily going to increase performance in one game, but it might in another, or by different degrees?

What card with what settings? And how smooth is "smooth"? Because mine runs around 30fps, with most stuff on high, but I have to turn off AF and AA is only 2x.
