GPU suggestions?

[IronWarrior]

Can anyone suggest a GPU to power 3x 24" monitors at 1920x1200 resolution please?

I'm planning on playing BFBC2 with highest settings (No AA or little) in Eyefinity with around about 40-50FPS during "combat moments"

Should one 6950 (2GB) flashed to a 6970 do the job?

I have a Q6600 OC'ed to 3.1GHz and 6GB of RAM.

Currently using an 260 GTX BE and get around 50-90FPS at 1900x1200 at highest settings in BFBC2.

I'm afraid you'll need two.
Or a single 6990.

I'm not so sure about that, there are many reviews, posts and youtube videos of players running one 6950, 6950 flashed or 6970 playing fine in BFBC2. o.O

Maxed out, I doubt that. 6970 trifire averages 64fps at 5760x1200 and 4x AA according to [H].

One other thing to note is that this game loves cpu power as well. I've seen a lot of reports of a big improvement in this game when moving from a Yorkfield to Sandybridge or Nehalem.

i use a single 6950 flashed up and 1000 core, i dont play bf bc2 but i play black ops no problem at all at 6048x1200 i believe 2x aa fov half way up i have vsync on and never dip below 60fps (other then black ops normal lag that i got even on single lcd with 6950)

Thanks for the link, you wouldn't know of any decent reviews where they doing Eyefinity with one card?

Thank you, that seems good.

Here I am playing BFBC2 on a 5870 which has been upgraded to a 6970 and I never have any problems playing @ 5760 X 1080

Ah I seen this video before, really awesome, thank you.

Do you think my CPU will be a problem at this resolution with high shaders/graphics?

I guess I will have to turn off AA or keep it low or whatever is playable.

I dont think you will be abel to do that with your current CPU and RAM. the q6600 is where your bottleneck will be. Ive been doing testing on another forum with a guy in my guild, he has a q6600. He can only manage 12.5l point in 3DMark06 with a 6970 and Q6600. While I on the other hand with a Sandy Bridge at 4.5GHz and a 6970 manage 29.5k points. The q6600 will be a big limitation for you.

What does that translate into FPS?
