Noob question, triple screen

Post by FengZ »

Hey everyone,

I'm very new to triple screen setups but is dying to jump in.

Currently, I'm running off of a single 30" cinema display on 2 GTX 480s in SLI. (2560x1600)

If I buy 3 monitor at 1920x1200, do I need any other hardware? Do I just connect these monitors to the DVI ports on the back of the 480s and Windows 7 will automatically know?

I've done my research regarding which games works well with triple screens, so now I'm just sorting through the hardware questions.

And is 2 480s enough to power a games at max setting at 5760x1200? (my power supply is a 1200w)

sorry for the many questions...i just want to make sure before buying 3 monitors and putting away the 30". :)

thanks.

Yes thats it, no additional hardware is required, only three (identical is better) monitors, two GTX 480 in SLI and W7.

Yes, but you may have to drop AA in some titles.
