    GTX 560 Non-ti Tri-Monitor


    Hello,

    I have here a gtx 560 non ti version that a friend gave me, and I was wondering if this can support up to 3 monitors?


    The card has 2 DVI's and 1 HDMI, so does that mean I'm set?

    I saw online that it doesn't work for the Ti version. But mine is not the Ti version, so will it work? Thanks in advance.

    A Ti is a better card, so with that knowledge......

    Please post a manufacturers link to your card, we have no idea what you have.

    But with 3 outputs that usually means you can hook up 3 monitors, only 1 way to find out. Go to the manufacturers website and read the specs :)

    You can't always go by the number of ports on a GPU card to determine how many monitors it will support. My MSI 7850 has four ports (two DP, one DVI and one HDMI) but only supports three monitors.

    I just love it when the specs only say multi-monitor support. The jokers who write those specs should be shot. I'm guessing (note the word guessing) that the card will support only two
    monitors.
    Whoa! I found this: http://www.nvidia.com/content/geforc...User_Guide.pdf. In it, I found this:

    A single GeForce GTX TI graphics card can support up to two displays per card in a multi-monitor configuration.

    I have no reason to believe an non-TI card would be any different, especially with the listed maximum resolution. I'm sticking with my original guess.

    agreed Jean, my 980 Ti has 5 outputs but only supports 4 monitors, if I wanted 8 monitors I suppose I could use the ports on the other card

    What's so funny about it? That's what a lot of day traders do; you just can't run SLI. Even Eyefinity will support only up to six monitors. Which brings up an interesting anomaly. A card that is Eyefinity compatible and will support up to six monitors may have six miniDisplayPorts or use only two Display Ports out of a total of four ports (the other two being something like a DVI and or HDMI) and two three-port dongles.
