Cool, yeah i have been debating between keeping mine or stepping up just couldn't find a way to make all 3 monitors to work in 3d surround. Maybe one of AMD's adapters would work idk display port to dual link dvi that is. Will keep in the queue i guess for now and wait. Its not like it is going to hurt anyways. Thanks for replying.

No adapters on EVGA's site yet but maybe in the future.

I would step-up if i was you. 570's are both great cards but two 680's would be great especially since you doing the 3D. Plus $250 is a great deal for the performance gain. It might come with an adapter i know my gtx 580 came with a bunch of adapters i never used. The 680's product page will show you a pic of everything it comes with. If not take a look in the evga store under accessories. You maybe able to grab one there. Im in the stepup too so i dont know exactly what the card comes with for adapters.

I have entered into the step-up queue as of a few weeks ago and am currently sitting at around #522. I have decided to step-up from both of my recently purchased gtx 570hd 2.5gb cards. I am a little concerned though as I bought these two cards for nvidia 3d vision and I have 3 planar 3d vision displays that use a dual link dvi for connection. The gtx 680 has this capability but i have noticed that it does require an adapter for one of the dvi displays to work if I go with a 2 way gtx 680 sli. My question is that if i did step-up where would I get this adapter and also would the upgrade be worth it? I get great FPS in my games with this setup but its only about 250 to upgrade to a slightly more efficient card with a massive amount of cores, near twice that of a single gtx 570. Is it truly worth this wait and hassle to step-up to a gtx 680 sli or is it just a minor step-up and all those cores and specs just for show? Thanks.

Also if anyone has any surround experience with two gtx 680s I would appreciate settings and FPS your getting too thanks!
Games that I am concerned with mainly for future compatibility: BF3(uses about 1.4gb of vram in surround), Crysis 2(High res: uses all my vram with settings maxed in surround 2.44gb or so) and a few older games that don't really impact much on surround settings.
