Hey all just need some opinions on whats the best choice for me...

So i am finding that my single 9800 gtx+ can not handle two monitors very well at the res I need.. my 9800 is running two monitors while a shitty 210 is running the last one.

With the setup I have in my signature what is the best option for me , should I buy a 250 gtx and run my two samsungs while using my 9800 gtx+ for my main screen. Could a 250 run two monitors on quality settings? I mean nothing like crysis but COD MW2 or L4D2.. With this setup tho I still have to mess around with SoftTH to get it to work....big draw back..

Buy a 5770 and use my 9800 GTX+ for PhysX . (would the 5770 handle 3 monitors in game?) + needing a dp for my benq monitor 100+ more price me around under 300

.. if I went with a 5850 im looking at almost 400? Might as well try and find a 5970 which I am reading some companies are including a DisplayPort adapter (sapphire?)

What do you guys think? Maybe some other setup I'm missing? Now I dont want to spend too much more money I just dropped 1000 on this build so money is tight or else I would of just gotten a 5870 when its in stock. I would just like to play my games on tri monitor setup with the least of problems.. SoftTH is a bit of a pain to setup... but Im hearing EyeInfinity isnt any better(with better drivers im sure that will get better in time)

The one other thing tho is if i get a 5770 I can sell my 9800 when they have more in stock and run it in CF with a 5870 or 5850.......

On the other hand , if i can get a 5870 or 5850 and it would work then I would spend the money.. I just want this to run lol ..

what to do what to do... I appreciate anyone's input..

The best choice for you is probably Eyefinity provided it can support 16:9|16:10|16:9 setups. A 5770 should be good enough, the main problem being the DP adapter.
Which grand resolution do you wish to use btw :?:

I just want this to run lol ..

let's just say that EyeFinity is pretty new, and so still is immature on the driver side
CF EF (with the 5970) is even worse

Just wanted to warn you that maybe not everything will be as smooth as butter all the time, :wink:
