Technology & Hardware / 3 Monitor Set-Up
« on: June 22, 2013, 03:21:56 pm »
Hey all

Want to run three monitors mainly for software development but some gaming. I may dust off my OGA hat for the casual team.

Main PC is
Intel Core i7 3770 Ivy Bridge 3.40Ghz 8MB 95W LGA1155
Asus P8Z77-V Pro Intel Z77 DDR3 SLiCrossfire Wi-Fi PCI-E3.0
Corsair 16GB (4x4GB) CMZ16GX3m4x1866C9 1866Mhz CL9
Corsair 240GB Neutron SSD GTX LM87800 Processor 19NM
FSPAurum Series 750W Modular PSU, 80PLUS Gold, 120mm

So the main question is around what GFX card set up to run three monitors. (3x AOC 27")

The advice i have is to run two cards NOT in Xfire mode....

a Asus GF GTX660 DirectCU II OC Edition PCI-E 3.0, 2GB 192-bit (runs two of the monitors)
and a
Asus GT 640 2GB GDDR3 PCI-E HDTV VGA 2x DVI HDMI VGA (To run the third monitor)

Those two cards total around $350 plus $150 so call it say $500 budget for a GFX card.

Would prefer a single card option.
Or what other options do I have or suggestions please.

Cheers
