My Nvidia Surround Set-Up (5760x1200)

CLICK TO VIEW IMAGE!

I'll start off by listing my computers specs:
CPU - AMD Quad Core 3.5 (4.5 Over-Clock) GHz
GPU - Dual SLI 460 GTX's (EVGA Super-Clocked)
RAM - 8 Gigs
PSU - 750 Watt
Case - IN WIN Griffin

Anyways I've had these specs for a while but recently I finally got my third and final monitor. Thus, I can span any program (most importantly any game) across my expanded, paronamic view of 5760x1200. Surprisingly, this has worked with most games and had little framerate impact. Well except Crysis 2 which raped me with a walloping 5fps.

To be brief, playing games like Battlefield 3 across three monitors kicks ass! ;D

P.S. I made the picture a link so it wouldn't cause a page stretch.

Jesus stuff

was about to say the performance would likely be stuff with those cards but you beat me to it

Yep. Don't know why it runs so stuffty on that game. Every other game I've played over 100fps with my monitors. Even Battlefield 3 runs smoothly if I keep anti-aliasing off.

wouldn't be able to use. seems like too much of a pain for me. like touchscreens.

It does get disorientating at times but it helps a lot when I'm coding on one side, modeling on the other, and having a browser open in the middle for Unity3D script references.

It also does give me an unfair advantage because my friends have a hard time flanking me in FPS's since it extends my view.

GPU - Dual SLI 460 GTX's (GeForce Super-Clocked)

also this part made me lol because the number comes after "GTX", and people who pay for overclocks are morons

maybe I'm just a nerd idk

An extra 20 bucks isn't really that bad of a deal. Besides I like the EVGA card design because it has better air flow since the case is more "open".

EDIT: I MEAN EVGA! Doh! I can't believe I mixed up GeForce with EVGA. I've had a long day today. :/

you essentially paid $20 for someone to slide this bar a tad to the right

[Maze24]

Its good to see you posting again.

[keonesan]

I didn't pay for for the overclock really. As I said previously I paid for the case design. It's not completely covered and has an open vent that runs along the entire card.

The default model is completely encased except for the little vent that covers the fan.

EDIT: Could only find a picture of Asus version but my cards look similar to that design. Second link is the default model.

if you paid for the design why didn't you just buy the regular clock speed version and save yourself $20? would have been the same

I've never seen a regular clocked card that had a similar design to that and besides I'm a personal fan of EVGA. Just call it one of my guilty pleasures.

my 580 is also an EVGA model so I can relate. the cards look so good I couldn't resist ;-;
