You can but a single 7970 powering triple monitors, ur asking a bit much there i think. Unless ofcourse ur ok with running lower settings in which case u’ll be ok. GW2 isnt THAT GPU intensive anyway, im more talking about other games.

Your UI will look like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76fSB8fjkh0
As far running it on a single 7970 yes it will run it but same answer as above not what I would do.

Here are 2 good options for Eyefinity

The first one needs a motherboard that can run 2 cards in SLI @ 8X8 speed on the PCI-E or even better if 16X16 but not at any other speed.( with either option you need a good power supply I run 2 X 6970’s on a Corsair TX 850 V2 power supply)
Lead card the monitors hook up to. (this card is easy to use 3 monitors )

Slave card needs to be clocked to the same speed as the above http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202026

Single card option http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125458 This is the same as running 2 cards in one slot.

I’ve ran GW2 just fine on highest settings on a 7850 with 3-screen (1600×900) Eyefinity. GPU usage rarely ever hit 99%. I expect a 7970 with 3 1080p screens to be a similar experience.
