I'm about to build a new PC and I'm either going to get EVGA's superclocked GTX 570 or their superclocked 580. I'm not sure if I need the power from a 580 though, so I don't know if it's worth the extra $200 or not.
I will have dual monitors, one is a 1680 x 1050 monitor I'd use as a secondary and I'm going to buy a 1920 x 1080 monitor for primary use. I have no intention on using both in gaming, so I doubt that will require any performance.
However, in the future I would very much be interested in getting 2 additional monitors that would be the same as whatever 1080p monitor I get for my primary....this would be for gaming so I know I'd need the performance boost with that.
What are your thoughts on this? While using just the 1080p monitor for gaming would there be much of a performance difference between a GTX 570 or 580? Would 2 570s in SLI be enough to power a trio of 1080p monitors, (in their native 1080p resolutions of course)? Would it be worth it to splurge on the 580s?
