Rx580 for triple monitor setup?

[Pasta]

Hi guys is 1 rx580 good enough to play on 3 monitors? Planning to play mostly sim games and single player games just for the immersion so hitting 45 to 50 fps is alright for me.

If you have 3 1080p monitors, the resolution becomes 5760x1080.

That's less than 4k, but it's still going to be a big hit on your framerate.

It`s enough for one 1080p monitor, not three. Would say at least RX 5700 XT or RTX 2070 Super, better would be RTX 2080 Super.

3 in eyefinity will drastically reduce fps

with 2 accessory displays it will not hurt fps at all

for 3x spanned for gaming, get a gtx 1070, 2060, rx5700 or better

For regular 2160p rx588 kind of works. I spent a year with such setup, it is not great but it works. All the games run, it is even possible to get 60fps in most, but settings obviously have to be reduced a lot. Older/not very demanding games run nice too.
So i think it will work. You will be able to play around with it for a bit and then you will upgrade if you need to.

It depends how much eye candy you want. That card isn't going to deliver mind blowing results with that resolution.

You want at least a Vega64 for 3x 1080p screens

Also make sure each screen has DisplayPort

Why tho?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Why what?

[Blaagh]

because connections on the card LOL

Thanks all for your replies I decided to just get a single used 1080 becasue Ill be using the 3 screens only on Euro truck sim 2, dirt rally 2.0 and assetta corsa. All my other games i play them on a single monitor

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Yes regardless of nvidia or amd gpu. If going to do amd eyefinity or nvidia surround you want 3x Displays with DisplayPort on them since a majority of all modern gpus offer 3x dp and 1x hdmi on them. So all hdmi screens won't help you. And I'd ensure that at least one of the 3 screens is a high refresh screen so you can use that when only playing on a single screen.

For older (read 2018 and before) titles you will be fine.

I built a rig for my buddy back in late 2013 / early 2014 around an FX-8350 (oc'd) and an R9-290 (non-x) that was used for muiltiple years as a 3*1080p eyefinity setup till he killed his 290 (fan failed and he didnt notice, card overheated repeatedlt till artifacting).

The RX-580 is about 26% faster than the 290 he had, and we used the 290 for full span 5820*1080 gaming in titles such as GTA-V and Battlefield 3/4, Heroes and Generals, The forrest, etc. The system was able to max out all of those titles (within reason, no MSAA on GTA for example) and still pull a pretty solid 60.

Now if you want maxed out tripple screen in late 2019 and 2020 titles, you wont get it, and will have to settle for low/medium settings.

But in raw power there is no reason you cant play Battlefield or GTA @ 5820*1080/60 using an RX580, even more so if its an 8GB model.

It will come down to how demanding the games are.

Overall, rx 580 is bare minimum now for 1x 1080p Display in demanding games, some are eve way too demanding for a single 580 gpu. As far as getting decent fps without turning visuals down too much. So I'd look at Vega64 or 5700 XT

Perhpas its that I dont play the right titles?...

My secondary rig is still running a 4GB GTX-960 SSC from EVGA, and the girlfriend uses it. Far less powerfull than an RX-580...

She uses it for 1440p/60 in GTA-V, Halo MCC, FC-5, The Forrest, BFV and BF1, among others. Most titles run on medium or high, with the BF titles having to jump to Medium (1) and meium-low (v). All in all though, still rocking 1440p/60 with decent ease...

I still see the RX-570/480 or 1050ti/960-4GB as being the entry 1080p contender, and would think that the 580 could pull more than enough for maxed 1080p.

Afterall, a 580 is almost exactly half a Vega-64 in performance and my vega pulls daily 4K duty. Would reasonbly think that a 580 could pull 1440P just as well as my vega does 4K on daily too.

Depends on what you call "bare minimum".
If you look at it from a point of view like "i set everything to max, i do not get 60+fps in most demanding games, i need new card" than yes. But for most people "bare minimum" would mean setting everything to low and getting like ~30+FPS (so minimally playable at min. settings). And rx588 is not that bad, even for 4k it allows better than "everything to low" settings with 60fps.

Also vega is kind of pointless this days, both 56 and 64, it way too expensive compared to its performance in most cases. It is also much hotter than comparable navi. I'd only buy it if 64 is like 1.5x cheaper than cheapest 5700xt or something like that.
