nvidea or ati?
so it doesn't matter at all?
extra info: I want to play this fluidly aon triple screen setup
Yes, they will Daz. And no, you won't notice a performance loss.Can I just ask, on the subject of GPU's?
Do PCI 3.0 cards run on 2.0 MoBo's? If so, does the performance lose a little from what it would be on 3.0 and if so, is it drastic?
TIA
I am running AMD cards for years and never had any problems... I really like Eyefinity, does exactly what I need for triple screens but I think I will finally go back to nvidia. Atleast for highend cards they do have some bonus when it comes to power consumption and heat although also with a 100Euro price premium...
Yeah, I tried a multi screen setup with my mix of monitors (1920x1200 & 1920x1080) and my 460GTX pushed 3d to them fine. If AC explicitly supported 2-screen setups I'd probably try to run that way all the time, no room on my desk for a third one and the videocard only supports 2, so 3 just means a bunch of wasted rendering and apps being on the invisible third screen. Two would give me a decent enough left/right half of the windscreen view.Oh, another benefit of the nVidia surround. I didn't need to use display port to setup my triple screen. You can use any combination of monitor outputs.
Currently as a result of the altcoin boom, street price is getting driven up on the new AMD cards a lot from what I hear. Milage may vary by region of course, where I am at there isn't a single one to be seen in stock anywhere.
But you are correct. I paid about $100 more than for the equivalent AMD card, but I figured the lower thermals and quiter profile, and better quality cooling system and overall build quality justified it.

Depends on the resolution, 27" monitors are available in both 1920 x 1080 and 2560 x 1440 resolutions. Running triple screen with 2560 x 1440 might be pretty taxing on even a GTX 780 Ti. That would be a 7680 x 1440 resolution, compared to my 5760 x 1200, 11 Million pixels compared to just under 7 Million. For reference I've seen benchmarks with the GTX 780 Ti running a 4K monitor at 8.2 Million pixels pretty respectably.
I'd suggest if you want a 27" triple screen setup you stick with 1920 x 1080 (1080p). That about 6.2 Million pixels, a little lower than what I am running. You could probably even get away with a lesser card, like the GTX 780 (Non Ti version).
