Way to drive three monitors from a standard pc

brendy · 14 Jun 2011 at 14:59

As above, I have been tasked with setting up a solution which usually involves a standard new dell tower pc (ie rarely sli capable). This time it is running triple screens (extended display) to show productivity stats.
All three screens are Dsub 15pin vga 22" monitors.

Anyone know what my best option(s) would be?

Cheers in advance.

Single Radeon 5000 or 6000 series card with eyefinity.

Job done.

Even better with the fact that you are using VGA D-SUB connections for the monitors, as that means you can get away with a passive (and thus cheap) DisplayPort to VGA adapter.

So one from the vga port, one from the dsplay port with a convertor to vga and also a dvi to vga convertor , job jobbed?

Easier than I thought.

Either ATI card 5-6k series like has been said
or a matrox TH2G.
whichever works out to be cheapest after you've taken into account extra costs of each computer having the GPU vs only those that need 3 monitors having the TH2G
