Palit GTX 260 and mulitple monitors?

[volrider]

I noticed that this card has VGA, DVI and HDMI outputs. Now I have three monitors with one VGA one DVI and the third VGA would this card run all three monitors with a VGA to HDMI converter plug (if there is such a thing).
Also if it did would that affect frame rates running more than one monitor?

Unless the game supports multiple monitors then it won't work. Generally they don't.

Unless you invest in a TRIPLEHAD 2go adapter. Which combines all your monitors into one giant resolution.

Also XP will run this fine on a desktop Vista will need some software, correct me if im wrong.

Fairly sure you'll only be able to run two outputs on the card, probably a mixture of any 2 (so VGA + DVI, DVI + HDMI or VGA + HDMI)...

There's also the SoftTH option, which requires a second graphics card for the third monitor due to the problem above, but otherwise acts as a software version (with the added overhead) of the TripleHead2Go.

Also worth mentioning ATi Eyefinity, which does support three monitors per card (even upto 6) and replaces the TripleHead2Go/SoftTH method of displaying games on all 3 monitors. But that's an extra expense...

Thanks for the input on this, I was not thinking of in gaming but just extendeing the desktop, it saves losing the old 17" monitor
