Nvidia Surround question? Hey guys, I'm getting a GTX 680 and am thinking about using Nvidia Surround. I have one 23" Acer slim 1080P monitor at the moment and wan't to add 2 more. Acer S230HL 23IN Widescreen LCD Monitor 1920X1080 100000000:1 5MS DVI VGA - Acer - ET.VS0HP.002 this is the monitor here, will it work for Surround? Also from experiance how much do you enjoy using Surround? how is it for games? Thanks |
its not about the pleasure for gaming on surround its about the pleasure of having surround bragging rights...well for me atleast :) |
Hey, It's not about bragging rights to me..though i would :p But does it add to your gaming experiance? |
I'd recommend against trying to do nvidia surround or amd eyefinity on a single graphics card at high graphical settings. The reason is, 3 monitor gaming taxes your single card 3 times as much, severely lowering your frames. I'd only recommend sli/x-fire or tri if you plan to do 3 monitor gaming with all the eye candy on. |
in all seriousness: GTX 6XX series for <1080p HD 7XXX series for >1080p bang for buck. |
The reviews i have read show the GTX 680 preforming well with 3 montiors with all or most eye candy on. no lower then 40 FPS in most new games. Then again i'm not to picky if i have to turn some things down untill i throw another 680 in. |
My GTX 670 was running BF3 great on high settings. So I would say you can get away with single card surround if you don't need to have max settings. |

I rathered having 60+ FPS at all times with 2 cards, then the chance of stuttering/lag/sub 40 fps with all the eye candy maxed. |
i know 40 FPS isn't amazing but i can get that to 60+ by turning down some Settings. Then when i can throw in a second GTX 680 and own those 3 monitors :P |
Yep, that's why I'm advocating/recommending dual cards over singles, and well warning you at the same time. |
