Graphics card - 3 Monitors

[GoldenMerc]

Hi,

I want a gfx card that will allow me to have 3 monitors, also how easy are they to set up once fitted etc?

The GTX 680 or the HD7970 will allow it.

most graphics cards now days will do it, even something like the GeForce 210 would.

With Windows 7, you can usually use 2 ports on the Graphics card, and then still use the on-board as-well, So you wont need a splitter.

Depends what you want to do on it

I'm using HD6950 and copes fine with 3 monitors gaming etc, although that cards relatively old now

You wouldn't use on-board you'd use the 2 DVI connectors and a mini display port or HDMI

I use 2 DVI and a DVI to miniDP adapter to connect the 3 monitors.

Make sure you get an active adapter though as passive won't work.

It takes literally 10 seconds to set up using Eyefinity (nvidia has its own version, forgot the name now)

That's not going to work well in any graphically intensive applications though... also only the newest cards allow you to use true triple monitor setups without splitters that limit functionality.
