Need advice on video card for tri setup
Posted: 19 Nov 2009, 07:27
Hey all just need some opinions on whats the best choice for me...
So i am finding that my single 9800 gtx+ can not handle two monitors very well at the res I need.. my 9800 is running two monitors while a shitty 210 is running the last one.
With the setup I have in my signature what is the best option for me , should I buy a 250 gtx and run my two samsungs while using my 9800 gtx+ for my main screen. Could a 250 run two monitors on quality settings? I mean nothing like crysis but COD MW2 or L4D2.. With this setup tho I still have to mess around with SoftTH to get it to work....big draw back..
Buy a 5770 and use my 9800 GTX+ for PhysX . (would the 5770 handle 3 monitors in game?) + needing a dp for my benq monitor 100+ more price me around under 300
.. if I went with a 5850 im looking at almost 400? Might as well try and find a 5970 which I am reading some companies are including a DisplayPort adapter (sapphire?)
What do you guys think? Maybe some other setup I'm missing? Now I dont want to spend too much more money I just dropped 1000 on this build so money is tight or else I would of just gotten a 5870 when its in stock. I would just like to play my games on tri monitor setup with the least of problems.. SoftTH is a bit of a pain to setup... but Im hearing EyeInfinity isnt any better(with better drivers im sure that will get better in time)
The one other thing tho is if i get a 5770 I can sell my 9800 when they have more in stock and run it in CF with a 5870 or 5850.......
On the other hand , if i can get a 5870 or 5850 and it would work then I would spend the money.. I just want this to run lol ..
what to do what to do... I appreciate anyone's input..
