Hi all

I've always wanted to run 3 monitors on my rig, setups like that just look amazing to be honest.

I've only got 1 graphics card in my rig, an nVidia GTX295 (I don't have the 3 monitors yet I'm just looking for advice). I WOULD NOT want to game on more than 1 monitor so it's just a case of running 3 screens.

Now I know I could disable SLi on my card, but I don't want to lose the graphical power. I had an idea of picking up a cheaper graphics card to plug in to just power the 3rd screen...would this work? Third screen would be in portrait mode for web browsing basically, no games on it really.

Thanks

Oh right :o seems ages ago since this card was out:p

Just get a cheapo third card to run the other two monitors.

haha card is over 2 years old now, still a powerhouse though!

so grabbing a cheap card and just sticking it in would work to power the third monitor then? SWEEEEEEET

the 295 can run 3 monitors, just use the hdmi out for the third one.
