| Hi If you look up recommended specs for a game, you get info that is relevant to using just one screen. I'm wondering how that should translate to three screens. For example, let's say a game's recommended specs are: CPU - 2.4GHz Quad-Core GRAPHICS -GTX 460 ( that GPU has: Core Clock 763MHz; Memory ... |

| I've got a problem with the triple-monitor project: space! The problem is fitting the three monitors in the house in a way my loved one will find acceptable. I've figured a solution would be to keep the 46" Panasonic plasma TV that I use for gaming and add two screens on either side (those scre... |

Your reply is full of relevant info. Thanks a lot.
And yes, I'm especially into racing sims. I'll take your advice. And as you say "why not both?"... a couple of years down the road. |

| Hi I'm about to get a triple-monitor setup. It's a bit of a budget though so I'm considering all the options. It occurred to me: would the Oculus Rift be better than three screens? (It is going to be cheaper.) I haven't tried the Oculus Rift yet. I can see that the immersion must be amazing, althoug... |

| I'm new to pc gaming and new to triple monitor setups and don't have even have any hardware yet. It occurs to me that the ideal triple-monitor set up would be (for me) something like: a 35" or 37" middle screen, then two 27" peripheral screens. Is this possible? Is it a good idea? Doe... |

| ... And Xeon versus i7: If you plan to use onboard graphics, which I personally do, you should definitely go the i7 route, because Xeons don't have iGPUs. Other than that, the Xeon is a good and reliable price/performance choice. For the CPU I would also recommend core i7, just because you have unl... |

| Please excuse if there's already a thread on this (I've looked for it, but couldn't find it) I've been console gaming for the last ten, or so, years, so I'm not totally clued up about PC gaming (specs etc.) yet. I've been reading up about PC gaming for triple monitors but it's not that simple to get... |
