Back in 2012, I upgraded my GPU and display to 670 SLI with a 27" 144Hz 1080p display with nVidia's 3D Vision 2 kit. I was also considering a multi-monitor setup and a single, high-res display.
I've been very happy with the setup, but have been getting the upgrade itch lately (I can't help it, I just miss working on my rig.) and wanted to revisit the idea of multi-monitor. I'm just having a hard time getting jazzed about it--
- 16:3 aspect ratio seems awkward. That's now how my eyes seem to work naturally. 3x monitors in portrait mode seems even more silly to me because then you get a nice aspect ratio, but the bezels seem like such an immersion killer in that configuration! For those of you with either of these setups, would you recommend them to another person? Sell me on it!
- I like gaming at high framerate with 120Hz+ refresh rates. Because of that, I think it's safe to say that 7680x1440 is out of the question. I guess I could get 2x 290X or 2x 780 Ti, but even those struggle with this res. 5760x1080 seems more doable, but again, is the extra peripheral vision even worth it?
Looking forward to hearing from those with experience with these setups!
