    3 monitor setup


    I have 2 19inch monitors hooked up to a gigabyte GTS250 PCI card, my question is if I want a third monitor to my setup can I use any graphics card in another PCI port to achieve this, would I have to buy an identical card, or SLI an identical card?

    I'm assuming any card will do, just want to see if any one could offer advice.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Only if you really wanted too, or you want to go SLI. Other than that something like this,

    Asus GeForce G210 SILENT 512MB DDR2 DVI VGA HDMI Out.. | Ebuyer.com

    would be more than enough for an extra monitor or two.

    Nice one for the link, very cheap and the output resolution is more than enough. Want to hook up a 42" LED TV along side the 2 19" monitors.

    Thanks again
