Which setup is better in 3×1 multi-display gaming? The GeForce GTX 480 SLI or the Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity6 2GB & 1GB CrossFireX configurations? You should be able to guess the answer. But in case you cannot, [H]ard|OCP has posted an article looking at the 3D Vision Surround experience versus AMD’s Eyefinity.
This evaluation’s focus is on NVIDIA’s Surround Technology supporting multi-display gaming and its performance versus AMD’s Eyefinity all using identical 3×1 Landscape configurations. This will give you an idea how GTX 480 SLI stacks up to 2GB and 1GB HD 5870 CrossFireX in 3×1 gaming at 5760×1200 resolution. We will have a separate performance evaluation on 3D Vision Surround gaming coming up soon as well as articles covering GTX 460 SLI and GTX 470 SLI 3×1 performance.
@ Jason Based on HardOCP’s test, and some anecdotal evidene, I would expect the GTX460 solution to offer better performance. The HardOCP tests showed the GTX460 slightly beating the 5870 at high resolutions (2560×1600), but I would expect it to pull even further ahead as the resolution continues to climb.
Hi I’m trying to do a triple display setup and I’m thinking about getting GTX 460 SLI for 2D surround or one single ATI 5870 for Eyefinity…
Any benchmark showing that which one will perform better under 5760 X 1080 resolution?
Thanks.
