GPU choices

okay so then stick with one 27 inch 1080p monitor and two 7950s then I should reach my goal 120 fps maxed settings

my motherboard can run two cards each at x16

I would hate using a 30" screen as a monitor, even 27" would be to much personally

Get the 670s instead, but that should work fine yes. Although - even 1 670 is more than capable of running a single 120hz monitor (probably wont max out the FPS but you wont be able to tell much difference)

okay so my goal is unrealistic that's all all I needed to know thanks for the help

 

[jamesriley94]

What's unrealistic?

 

[notyadaddy]

120 fps on BF3 max settings

 

[jamesriley94]

You can manage that on one 1080p screen with SLI 670 2gb.

Across 3 screens it's unlikely...

But why do you need that?

1 screen = 1 card IMO. You arent really going to notice the difference between a single 670 getting around 75-80 FPS and SLI getting 120 FPS tbh. If you have the money to throw at it, go ahead - but it is such a waste.

I don't I need it I want it because well I hate TV and gaming and watching movies on the internet is all I do.

 

[jamesriley94]

Yes, but why do you want 120 FPS...?
You cant really see much difference between 60-120 - even less so between a single 670 which will get you 80 FPS ish on most games, and SLI to get 120 FPS.

As for the movies - they're only recorded at around 24 FPS - even the blockbusters. Makes no difference whether you have a 120hz screen with 670 SLI or a single 60hz screen with a 610...
Anyway - I personally think you'd be better off with a 60hz IPS screen if you watch a lot of movies.

One 27inch 120Hz monitor is all you need for games, and BF3 looks gorgeous. You WILL get 120+ fps with ANY 670 / 680 SLi. And as James said, get another IPS (e-IPS) screen for movies. You'll love it.
