Run 3 monitors

Hi All,

I would like to be able to run 3 monitors (each with its own game on) and the problem I am having is I only have 1x HDMI Slot and 1x DVI Slot.

Is there any way I can get some kind of cable splitter to enable me 2x DVI to run the 3rd monitor?

Video card: Powercolor Radeon HD7950 Extreme Edition

Thanks in advance

Not possible i'm afraid, if you did get a splitter it wouldn't run a seperate image, id be a duplicate.

Running 3 seperate games is tough, you may need to use Remote desktops to do that.. and not to mention demand on the hardware.. and what about peripherals??

just found out i can't run 3 monitors on my 770 at full graphics, due to the 2gb video ram. older games but not the newer titles would work. now looking to upgrade to sli 970 before being able to run tripple screens at decent graphics levels.

running 3 games at the same time would very much max out my cpu, let alone the graphics. with 1 card, can't see how it would work. virtual machines maybe?

good luck, i think it's a tough ask.

Not sure why you would want 3 games at once anyway!
Best way would be to have 3 computers and 3 screens.

I'll run it thru my i5 onchip vid, oh well.

thanks all
