Nvidia 3d vision surround supported build? Does this build supports 3d vision surround?

Yes you can run 3 monitors with 2 GPU, however, the performance may still not be enough to run ~6000x1080p at a target of 60FPS. You may need to drop down to ~4000x720p in some games, or turn down settings. I have 2x480 which are roughly the equivalent of your 2xGPU but I only run 1920x1080p and while overall performance is excellent, there are still a handful of games that give me trouble. You are essentially running triple the resolution with the same amount of rendering power, so I imagine there are quite a few games that will give you trouble with just 2 of those GPU. But yes that motherboard and PSU will allow you to upgrade to get a 3rd GPU if necessary if you find performance lacking.

Don't pay any attention to those guys though, with PSUs, more overhead is better even if you don't need the full 1050W, your PSU is more efficient running at lower load than a weaker PSU running at full load, so it will run cooler, use less power and last longer. It'll also give you room to expand if you need it without having to upgrade your PSU again. The CPU is perfect for modern games, if anything you may even consider overclocking it a bit. X58 is still a solid platform and gives you a good upgrade path if you decide to go 3-way SLI.

Thats was exeacly the information I wanted to hear and needed to hear :)
And I wont experience any problems as I Assume, I will fistly buy 2 monitors to check it out and I can always chooce to have another GPU and monitor extra :) so its an good ubgradeable build for my needs :) And thank you for the information about the power supply, as some experience computer builders where saying go lower! I (a noob) was concidering going even higer haha. And I dont think im going to overclock it but I either didnt ever thought about building my own pc, well as you see that was not correct so I kept the overclocking thingy in mind while bringing the hardware pieces togheter.

Anyway, thanks for the information profided :) !

Np, although you may want to hold off on the 2nd monitor since 3D Vision only supports 1x1 or 3x1 configurations with the 3D LCDs. 2x1 is supported but only with some projectors I believe.

I don't know why those experienced builders were telling you to go lower, PSU is one of the few components I would never skimp on in a high-end build, and one of the components that gives the least return with the most hassle in the event its not enough and you need to replace it. Resell value is typically very low (people who want a new PSU generally want more W too) and shipping costs extremely high because they are so large and heavy. Better off to just pay a bit of a premium, maybe $50 and be done with it with room to grow in the future. In the meantime, its not like the extra W draws more power, if anything it will use less power as it will run more efficiently at lower load levels than a weaker PSU running at near max load. You can look at the 80+ ratings to get an idea of this, most Gold rated PSUs run at 90+% efficiency at 80% peak load or less.

Well, that gave the hardware.info forum a bad name XD and im thanking you for giving it to them, because it would be a true budget mess if I listen to those guys :D but ofcourse people make mistake`s, thats proven now not to mention the loads of other times in human history. They where still verry helpfull in advising me where to pay extra attention on. Thats how I got my build and revered to this forum for confirmation because somehow Nvidia forum sounded more trustworthy :)

And thats the feedback what this forum earns from me :) "which exist because of people like you"

Only thing left is the cooling... lets see where did I left that topic...
