Triple Screen.

I want to invest in either 1 Radeon GPU, or one Nvidia GPU.

Question is I want to use just one is it possible for me to get a triple screen set up from a single card?

If anyone can help me please let me know and give me links.

So far I'm leaning towards Nvidia, But I don't mind changing.
 
a ATI RADEON GPU WILL Have eyefinity wich will allow you to run up to six screens off the one single GPU
 
As far as I know Nvidia can only currently handle a maximum of two monitors from a single card. While AMD's Eyefinity in most cards can handle three monitors, four monitors for 6870 up to 6970, and the 5870 Eyefinity 6 feature six mini Display Port outputs if you are incline to do so. Then there's the debate of whether single card can handle a full gaming load over six HD monitors, or would it just be better running two/three monitors per card of an Crossfire/SLI system.
 
Well seeing as how SLI isn't a option in this for me unless I changed motherboards.

Look's like I'm going AMD.

How does there 3D work exactly?
 
Best bet for 3 monitors would be a 6970 as that has the most grunt of any of the ati cards currently, you could also wait for the new dual gpu ati card if you wanted the most power from a single card but looking at your rig spec on your profile you would need a new power suply for that anyway.

3d is a matter of buying an nvidia card and a 120hz monitor and a pair of the 3d glassed ( or alternatively a monitor + glasses kit/bundle that some places sell)

both solutions realy need the best card you can afford in the range more so for 3d so either a 6970 or a gtx 570/580.
 
To get playable frame rates with eyefinity stereoscopic 3d over 3 monitors, you would probably need/want a crossfire solution. If your wanting to play a 3d on a single monitor, id say 6970, over 3 monitors, 3d gaming, I would want crossfire. I'm just curious why you don't want to consider SLI or crossfire? It can't be a budget issue if your looking at a set of 3 120hz monitors. 2 gtx 580s would be epic.
 
I'm trying to get concept's right now.

Reason why I can't SLI or Crossfire board can support it but I got to sacrifice graphics for a 8 way SSD raid.

Unless I changed my board out but even then I'm working on budget and I'd have to sell some stuff if I wanted to achieve changing the board and a Crossfire.

So a single GPU would have issues with Multi-Screen set up.

And what kinda monitors support AMD 3D?

And how does that work exactly?
 
You might want to research different ssd controllers for RAID. When you have SSDs in a raid array, you lose your TRIM functions. Some SSDs are starting to come out with garbage collection that works just as well though.

3D Ready monitors, are just Monitors that have at least 120Hz Refresh rate, as opposed to the most common 60Hz. Since Your graphics card is generating 2 sets of the same image, for both left eye and right eye, it uses double the frames. So the monitor has to have double the refresh rate to squeeze to frames into one, in a manner of speaking. That's the best way I can describe it, theres probably someone who can do a better job.
 
Quite a interesting read to say the least.

But it seem's for 3D AMD would be the way to go due to how little you have to spend to achieve it.

Nvidia overcharge's for it.

And Amd is working on better one's.
 
I wasn't aware that the display technology for AMD 3D was different than Nvidias. Interesting. I thought it was 120Hz monitor, some glasses, end of story. I like the look of Nvidias solution better, but the need for a second card (in your case) is a pitfall. I would probably want a second card anyway if I was really into 3D gaming, to game at decent frames. I've never actually tried it though, I might hate it all together lol

No current Nvidias will support 3 screens, hence the reason why Im stuck on a red card....... for the minute

Lol, I think for me I am going to stick it out with Radeon.

I have never had any issue's with them, and they are working on perfecting there 3D tech.

If they fix there driver issues and utilize everything properly like Nvidia does I think they could blow them out of the water.

I also just read a review from tomshardware and.

Nvidia are power hog's.

Another reason why I think ATI/AMD is the way to go currently.

What's your option on the two tom?
