Sli 460s and Nvidia Surround

[xnikx]

Hey, i want to get nvidia surround, three monitors, but don't have the money for a gpu upgrade right now. But, i would like to buy the monitors and at least get that out of the way.

So obviously, i wouldn't be able to play bf3 on sli 1gb 460s at 5760 x 1080.
But, would i be able to at least play games like l4d2 and team fortress 2 at a nice fps on high settings?

Without AA those games should be playable. "nice fps" isn't a very specific target but you should be able to get over 60fps with high settings (and no AA or aniso).

now i dont need all the graphics maxed out, but without aa i don't know if it would be worth it.

oh, and i meant 60fps as good fps

Source engine games are pretty easy to run in surround, even with 2x or 4x aa. In general though, I find it works better with my 460's to just leave aa off and use Nvidia's FXAA driver option instead.

If you get a second 460, be very careful. Nvidia did a silent update to a v2 version of the 460 that uses a mixed memory bus and is not compatible with the older 460's. I'm pretty sure every new 460 on the market is a v2, so you'll probably have to pick up one that's used.
