Originally by: Ladrial so what would you go for if you were going to do it with intel and nvidia cards?
Ignoring cost and wishing to get as many years out of my rig as possible without ever opening the PC and using 4 monitors:
i2600K (over-clocked beyond the realms of physics through after-market cooling solution and super-voltage) 2 x 590 GTX
However, taking cost and ROI into account:
i2600K (to allow for some kind of overclocking via bios, if needed, at some point, in the future) 2 x 570 (even this doesn't run Metro 2033 @ 60FPS, which is a DX11 title)
I do have a question though; why 4 monitors? Why not 3?
If you have 4 (I assume a lateral configuration) then your central point of focus will have a black line where the two central monitors will meet.
If you have a 2x2 setup, you have 4 monitor corners in your central point of focus.
If you are planning to have a 3x1 setup, then that has some sense to it, although I wouldn't mind being your oestopath, as I'm sure I'd be able to take early retirement with you as a patient.
It's personal preference, but have a triple monitor setup laterally, it gives you a central monitor and allows you to extend out your peripheral vision, no?
Guess it depends on what games you play, or plan to play.
If you are going for 3 monitors - the BenQ 3d monitor is pretty nice and has CRT levels of response to it for 24" x 3 pimpage.

Originally by: Ladrial Hello and thanks for your reply I want to play four accounts each on their own monitor, I may actually put two on the desk and two on the wall above them.
What type of playstyle? PvP? Mining? Missions?
I understand that some players like Chribba (if you say his name he appears on the forums) run in windowed mode.
Be interesting to get some more feedback from players with 3 or more monitors to see what type of setup they run and what the frames per second is like, types of resolution they have, graphical options running as this will no doubt help you.
Mashie Saldana is another player that springs to mind with an ·ber setup on multiple monitors.
Ask nicely and they might even post some screenshots.

I found this and thought it might be another consideration, as they have some 4 x monitor setups/configs ready to go.

Lookin' good - but don't forget to install the 64 bit version of Windows 7, as all that juicy RAM will need it.
