Man, they are slicing that market pretty fine, aren't they?

Assuming this is for general personal use, then do you ever run anything that benefits from Hyperthreading? That'd be my advice to you.

sli? yay or nay?

Multimonitor gaming kinda requires it, but you're going to run into different quality issues with SLI.

This is one example that someone recently asked about around here: http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-C ... ons/Discov. I like how everyone's using the color stripes on the side of the screen now to see what part of a frame is from where since nvidia developed that tech to out AMD on having a long tail distribution for frame rendering times causing stutters.

so would dual card in non-sli be better than sli?

That seems like a silly choice.

Agreed. Dual card in non-sli wouldn't cooperate to render frames in a game. I don't even think you'd get any benefit from the second card other than being able to hook up even more monitors. I think AMD cards now can support up to 3 1080p monitors per mini display port and they have 2 of those ports. I'm not sure that nVidia supports quite so many I think 3 or 4 monitors is what we support per card. I could go look it up, but I'm too lazy.

I am looking for triple monitors setup. everything I have found so far does dual monitors or stretch screen resolution to fit three monitors but it's not true triple monitors setup (ie monitor 1,2,3 have different resolution/orientation, not monitor 1,2A,2B)

Let me know if I have misunderstood

You mean like outlined in this thread?

The second seems to say you can control up to 4 independent displays with a 640
