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 :)

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
