post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about doing some of those multi monitor set ups, biggrin.gif

I belive it's eyefinity?? The name for that?

Can you guys suggest me like the cheapest option for dual monitor set.

I don't want something super powerfull, something the likes of my samsung 206 bw thumb.gif

Many thanks everyone wink.gif

Eyefinity & Nvidia Surround are 3 monitor setups, I run 2, it's just a multi-monitor setup when it's 2 I suppose.

So you are looking for 2 monitors? 1080p?

Yes, I want to get two, as for resolution... I really don't know much.. I never max out crysis and stuff but I'm going sli so I maybe go for some crazy resolutions tongue.gif

But if it is way more expensive I probably won't go that way, I intend to use it mostly for rendering software I've seen a friend using it and it eases the work a lot, but if I can game on that superb.

You don't want a game stretched on 2 monitors, the bezel will be your center screen. I do find it productive to have 2 monitors in general though, I have a 27" main screen (for games and full screen applications) and a 21.5" one on the side.

Going SLI on 670's? Might as well get 3 monitors.

Ok maybe I'll keep the dual monitor for working, and not gaming, a friend of mine that works with me on the same companie rendering and animating (our job) he uses one for motion and engine animation and the other for rendering, and productivity is significant better,than on a sngle monitor biggrin.gif

Nope I'm giving the 670 to my younger brother and get a pair of nvidia gtx660 when they come out in august biggrin.gif

My budget for the monitors is not very big.... I don't really have a fixed amount but it won't be much

Thanks for the replies thumb.gif
