Ok first things first46 this is what im running now
DS system from 2010 System Configuration:-------------------------------------------------------- Im running that on a 46" Samsung LED 1080p tv---and i love it. However i most recently went to blizzcon 13' and saw this. uploads/5020/1465313_10152369198777501_1603569020_n.jpg Im in love! I wanna start building towards this. The monitors im unsure of there size but they were panasonics something. May have been tv's. Now my idea is since i already have 1 46" Samasung. Maybe i can get 2 comparable ones. Although they had theres on these metal bar like stands. I would most likely need to wall mount to look the best. So ideas or links to a mount that can come off the wall than swivel to get that surround effect would be appreciated. The monitors are one thing. The PC and set-up is a whole other. Im assuming i would need another graphics card at least. Probably go ahead and upgrade and get two 780's or whatever is good right now. SLI set-up. But i would have absolutely no clue on how to get it to work properly. Usage of this thing would be social media browsing and 90% Blizzard games mostly wow. Considering im a pretty good novice to pc set-ups and hardware and software. As im sure you can tell. Any helpful advice on what i need to upgrade. Is anything able to be reused on the old system? Or should i be upgrading all. Also im not balling on a $4k+ budget so keep that in mind. |

In order to run three 1080p monitors on Ultra graphics you're going to need 2 graphics cards for sure.
Going with 2x GTX 780 will give you enough power to run most of today's games on Ultra but It will be difficult to achieve 60+fps if running maxed out. Here is an article to give you a rough idea. GURU3D Your power supply will be able to handle the SLI GTX 780 as long as the CPU inst being overclocked. If possible, upgrading the RAM could help in more productivity tasks as 8GB is becoming the norm nowadays. Edited by Nav - 16 Nov 2013 at 3:38pm |

Additional RAM, a larger PSU & x2/x3 SLI GPU would be needed to max out triple monitors on ultra settings...
Here's my setup with triple monitors (they are 27") - See config in my sig or see my review... I can run pretty much everything at full settings and haven't noticed any glitching/stuttering... ![]() Edited by fstcvc - 16 Nov 2013 at 11:34pm |
