    Greetings,

    So I am debating whether to go Sager NP9377 with 980M SLI or MSI GT72 980M. What will help me make the decision is if the MSI with single 980M can run 2 monitors 2560x1600 @ 60Hz one to play WoW/Diablo III/Starcraft II/LoL and similar MMORPG at max settings and other screen to do work on office/browse .. etc or if I will need the Sager NP9377 980M SLI to achieve that and no, a desktop is not an option for me.

    Anyone with any information or experience please chime in as this information is vital for me!!

    Both can output that, for the sager you would use the HDMI and thunderbolt (uses mini displayport cable for a monitor).

    Either should dual box ok though dual 980M will be able to power through future titles as well.

    The 980M SLI will indeed be more capable in the long run, albeit the one caveat that is that some programs will not be designed to take advantage of SLI. Most will, but keep in mind that you may find that, every once in awhile, a program will run smoother on a single GPU.
