3 monitor setup - Is my video card ok - Suggestions

[BobbyMisc65]

Hello all.
I currently have two monitors (32 in. & 27 in.) connected to a GeForce 550 Ti graphics card: EVGA 01G-P3-1556-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) FPB 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card - Newegg.com

This is working nicely without any issues, but I would like to get another 32 in. monitor and wanted to get any advice on a decent video card upgrade OR if my video card will handle 2 large monitors and 1 med. sized monitor. I do see that my card has two DVI ports (1 connected to the 32 in.) and one HDMI port (which is connected to the 27in.); common sense is telling me 3 ports, 3 monitors right? Just wanted to make sure.

I'm not a hard core gamer, but I do play various high level detailed games like Half Life, Call of Duty, etc.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

BobbyMisc65, welcome to Seven Forums. When running multiple monitors you should upgrade to a newer generation GPU with more VRAM.

That would be asking a lot of the 650, but I`m sure it could do it.

I bought this card a month and a half ago and it performed just fine.

But a 4 GB card is really only needed when playing games across 3 monitors. ( is that what you wanna do ? )

But you could seriously consider getting a 770 or higher.

I`m currently running Part Number: 02G-P4-2770-KR and have no complaints yet
