It will work, you will likely need an active display port adaptor if your monitors don't have them native, I doubt you will get 120fps in game mind with a single 7850.

I want 120hz purely for the 120hz goodness, makes everything so bloody wonderful.

Gaming isn't a thing for me. I just want all of that screen retail with 120hz!

So I would need some active adapters, can anyone confirm this to me? So thats 3x 1920x1080@120hz.

but the main point of 120Hz is to enhance gaming...

I imagine Sc2 across 3 screens would actually be fairly demanding, depending what's on the screen. With a single GTX 680 my frames tank (60-70 frames) when I have a mothership out cloaking the crap out of an army of cruisers.

That's with all settings cranked to max :)

Might not have enough grunt to run 3 screens @ 120Hz with the Powercolor 7850 PCS+ but you could always add a second for crossfire if it doesn't.

As for getting the 120Hz as stated above you will need the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Dual-Link Active Adapter these run at £79.99 a pop. If you change the monitor to Benq XL2420T instead of XL2411T they have display ports so you could run straight from your card without the adaptors just use DP cables.

The cost of XL2411T + DVI Dual-Link Active Adapter is close to the cost of the XL2420T so worth considering that before you make your purchases.
