I'm seriously considering a multi-monitor gaming set-up. The question I have is how much GPU power is needed to do this with reasonably high settings (AF/AA, etc.)? When I look at reviews of the latest games comparing different GPUs as single or dual GPU set-ups they rarely go above 24x16 resolution.
What I'm considering is putting 3 19x12 monitors (5760x1200) on either my current 2x 6970s or on 2x GTX 580s. I know 3GB on the 580s makes a significant difference for such set-ups.
Anyway...is it "worth" it? You definitely have to de-tune the settings from highest to get frames, but does the surround effect make up for it?
