Hello

I just bought a XFX 5870 video card and would like to ask, what size 3 monitor should I buy that the single ATI 5870 can handle without problem (framerate, etc) , mainly I play F1 2010, rfactor, GTR etc....

Is 3 20inch good, or 3 22inch is good.... also are certain brand better than other in triple screen configuration , if some has the above card running eyefinity, please help

thank you

The smaller the bezel, the better. Dell tends to be pretty good about smaller bezels. If you have the cash a Samsung MD230X3 setup would be BEST. But again they are pretty darn pricey.

I'd say you're safe with 3x1680x1050 monitors. The max I'd say go is 3x1920x1200. At the higher end, the limited frame buffer comes into play.

If I had to choose one to recommended it would be this one.

Once you start propping up the AA in 5760x1200 in newer games like F1 2010 and 2033 yer FPS are going to tank.
