3 monitors on a 5670...

[K@rl]

I am currently using a **cough**5670 on my design PC with two 22' monitors attached. I am looking to invest in a 3rd to not only have a bit of extra desktop but also to connect to a PS3 using HDMI

Its only a 512 version (ATI) and I was wondering if it will be man enough to deal with what I want to do with it?

I dont want to upgrade to a better card as my PSU wont cope with anything more and I want to keep power consumption down (247 running PC).

If you don't want to game using eyefinity then it will be fine.

I think this could depend on which 5670 you have,

there are 2 variants of display connectors on 5670's,

1> Display Connectors: 1 Dual-Link DVI-I, 1 HDMI & 1 VGA

and

2> Display Connectors: 1x HDMI, 1x DVI & 1x DisplayPort


^^ I'm pretty sure, if you don't have the display port version you can only support 2 monitors in eye infinity mode (1x2 mode). This "might" mean that the card has a shared hdmi/dvi port so hooking up 3 monitors off that card may not work.

I'd definitely have a read around before making that investment
