I'm looking for a video card to support 3 monitors. My limit is no more than $360 but if possible I'd prefer a card in the $250-$300 price range.
I understand that Nvidia is more expensive when going with a 3 monitor setup but I could more than likely go SLI in the future with whatever card I end up getting. It kinda depends on what Nvidia has to offer over AMD.
I've been looking at the gtx 560 and gtx 570. The gtx 560, particularly for the price and what it has to offer. However it only has 1gb ram and I'd have to buy 2 for ~$520. The GTX 570 has more ram and is a better card but to support 3 monitors I'll also need to buy 2 for like ~$710 and that is fairly expensive!
AMD definitely seems to be the cheaper route. I don't exactly know much about ATI however.
Like I said I don't know much about AMD cards but i've been looking at the 6950. I understand the 6950 can be unlocked to a 6970 which is nice. However i'd probably get the MSI card due to the upgraded cooling and from what I've read you can't unlock that card.
My Hardware...
i7-2600k
650w PSU (I understand I'll need a larger PSU for dual GPU's)
Gigabyte P67 UD5
8gb RipjawX Ram
