I've been dual boxing for a while. This winter I'm upgrading. Triple boxing.
Can I get some recommendations on graphics cards.

Right now I run a GeForce gtx 560ti.
What should I upgrade to that would have comparable performance, and a sub 300 dollar price.

Keep in mind, I'm a complete novice when it comes to building my own comp.
thanks

one 7970 is capable of pushing six monitors with their own clients, at least. I use crossfire, but they remain throttled at 1 card unless I turn up my graphics settings.

for some reason, EVE doesn't run properly in Fullscreen mode, and I use fixed window mode instead.

Make sure you have enough memory as well.

I'd say 8GB minimum nowadays.

Pretty. Now I'm thinking about upgrading my 6790 which is working perfectly fine. Roll
