Cheapest graphics card that will output to 3 monitors.

[Combat squirrel]

As title, I hear the nvidias are capable of this from one graphics card, im not sure what models however.

Whats the CHEAPEST graphics card that will do this, and for infos, what card £150-200 will do this also ?

Thanks

Thanks for the input, BUT I already know all of these options, I currently use a 6970 and 5450 ATI card...but I want a single card solution and no trickery with active adaptors.

I am very aware the top end 680 series from Nvidia can out put to 3 displays using any available plug on the card (2 DVI, DP or HDMI etc), but I was wondering if any cheaper cards will do this also.

Thanks so any 600 series then, what makes the flex different?

Yeah this limitation has been removed on the new cards.

Hmmm interesting question... The 3 monitors I use 1 is indeed a display port model, dell 30" and the other 2 are 24" and 22".... So I did try ages ago using display port cable, dvi cable and hdmi... But it didnt work, shapphires site says this is the 'only' way a normal amd card will do it and that flex offers more combinations etc.....

Eerrrr hang on a min, I tried this and it didn't work, have I missed something here?

i assume you don't have an onboard GPU, as you can usually use this as well as your 6970.

I manage to run 3 monitors on a 4850 (on DVI/HDMI) and the 3rd monitor is powered by the onboard GPU (VGA) (it wont be setting any benchmark records and is useless for most games, but it works fine for general work / internet use. i will never go back to ONLY 2 monitors! hope you manage to sort it)

Just an idea though.....

There is an idea, yeah I have a ivy bridge i7 so will try that out tonight
