Is anyone doing surround 1080p on a single gtx 680?

If so how is it? Should I get another 680 before going to 3x u2312hm's?

Thanks,

I don't know of anyone that does to be honest mate, although based on numbers on what a single GTX680 can produce at 1920x1080 i would advise at least 2 of them in SLI for surround resolutions.

+1. I think SLI 680s is the minimum for 3-screen awesomesauce.
