Gtx 1060 3 monitors

[Hannnes]

Hi, im going to upgrade my pc to 3 monitor, but then i'll need a new gpu. So im wondering if the gtx 1060 is enough.

I don't need 60 fps(but at least over 35 or something) and i don't need to have the highest graphics.

I'm playing games like the crew, ets 2 and wrc 6

Thanks for helping

The 1060 and 970 is almost the same from what I've seen in benchmarks, and on YouTube it looks like the 970 handles 3 monitors pretty good. So the 1060 should be able to do it as well, or am i wrong?

1060 is closer to 980 than 970

Then won't 1060 be enough?

Custom 970s are close to stock 980.

Anyways, check out benchmarks in higher resolutions for the games you want to play. Triple 1080p is ~75% of a 4k resolution, or in other words: a 1060 will be rather weak for that.
30+ FPS is often doable though.

GTX 1060 is enough for Surround but propably not 60fps.

Ok, i don't need 60 fps. a bit hard to decide when some say it will work and some say it won't...

Work of course... play games well at 3x 1080p, no. Especially the more demanding games.

You'd be better off with a quality 21:9 Monitor as your main gaming display; and maybe if needed, a 2nd monitor (or cheap TV) as a Desktop/Apps accessory display so you can monitor/multi-task, etc. during gameplay and such.

Why it wouldn't be able to run games well? I haven't had any problems with the GTX 960, except 2GB VRAM.

We're talking about running 3x screens in NVIDIA Surround (all 3 used for in-game display)

I know... I have had a Surround setup since 2014.

Yea and it runs things like Heaven/Valley at around 20-30 FPS

Why would you want 3x 1080p screens if you can't enjoy it?
20-30 FPS is NOT enjoyable gaming, period.

I'm not one of those "It must run at 144+ FPS in everything" types; but lets be real here.

And for Pasi123, the only seriously demanding game you even have on your Steam really is GTAV (when it comes to doing 3x 1080p in-game)

GTX 960 can run GTA V with medium settings 5760x1080. FPS is ~40

My point exactly.

What is wrong with 40fps?

[Hare+Guu!]

I get 40-45fps on doom ultra at 5120x1440. Evolve stage 2 is the same at medium/high. I do use a 390 though, which offers similar performance but has a much higher memory bandwidth and vram total which is useful for large vram usage. But considering triple 1080p is a whole megapixel lower than mine, you should see similar framerates or better.

[Oven-Loaf]

Think of it this way, any benchmarks you see with the Gtx 1060 @ 1080p.
Devide the fps by 3.
I'm assuming your talking about 1080p yes?
Running triple 1080p on a Gtx 1060 is just about running a single 1440p display with a 1060.
A 1060 is nowhere near a cable card for 1440p.
A Gtx 1070 is probably the least recommended card for 1440p with the games that have been coming out.

Just looked at this video, and the 1060 preformes exactly the sama as a 980 in 4k, and some of you say that it will work, so i'm quite shore that I'll get the 1060
