Just curious on what the performance is for surround gaming

I currently have EVGA 580 gtx 1.5gb SLI

I plan on getting triple 24inch monitors with 1920x1080 resolution on all monitors.

What fps can I expect

I plan on playing:
Team Fortress 2
Crysis 2
L4D 2
Counterstrike source
Battlefield Bad Company 2
Battlefield 3


Also if there isnt any game that i didnt list, feel free to post your specs and fps so I can get a general idea of what to expect

Thanks =D

Unfortunately Nvidia dropped the ball by only including 1.5GB Vram with the GTX580. You might have to turn down a few settings to run 5760 smoothly, the main culprit is AA.
Games like TF2, L4D2, CSS, will be no problem, but you "may" hurt in BF3 (judging from the beta, final game might be better optimized).
You will get good fps in Crysis2 and BC2.

EVGA has 580's in 3gb . Ill be upgrading to these for BF3 release :)

Crysis 2 I get about 45-50FPS with everything maxed out, including in the Nvidia CP under game profiles I have it forced to highest possible, but still runs decent FPS and looks amazing.

BFBC2 I get 60+ FPS with everything fully mazed out as well

RAGE: Looks like classic Bethesda games, with all I can max it out, I get around 35FPS right now, though drivers need to mature and I am sure this game needs some patches to get rolling smoother.

BF3 BETA I just closed out and will wait for some PC controls to be given like custom mapping - otherwise it appeared to be good, not sure on the FPS

I am running the three EVGA GTX 580 3GB versions though - so expect/anticipate/adjust accordingly

thanks for the inputs

Running Battlefield 3 beta, 64 player Caspian Border map, 285 nvidia beta drivers, 5760x1080 60hz, i was getting 20-25fps on the low setting, and 5-10fps on the ultra setting.

Intel core i7 960 3.2ghz
2x GTX580 3GB
6GB RAM
Win 7 64bit
Fan cooled with Cooler Master HAF X case
no overclocking - im a total noob to overclocking, and all the local PC shops advise not to overclock, so i dont bother with that.

Will have to wait for the final non-beta drivers from nvidia, and the full game release to see what the real fps will be like.

Hmmm, somethings weird I am running a quad core AMD chip with 2 460 GTX 2gb each and getting 26-29 fps on caspian boarder with everything high except the AA. I am about to upgrade to an i7 2600k and expecting more frames.
