three monitors

[jason.tadeo]

I was wondering if anyone was running 3 monitors on there pc unit right
now. I have dual monitors right but i want a 3rd. I am going to be
updating my pc from AGP video cards to PCI express and i was looking
around and only saw that they only have two inputs and none have 3. I
think i am not sure but i think i would have to get a motherboard with
2 pci express cards and then get to of the same video card which then
would give me 4 out puts which is too much for me or idk if i can i
just would do 3. Any ideas or comments are welcome thank you for you
time


thanks again

Yes, quite a few do.

You mean outputs.

and none have 3. I think i am not sure but i think i would
have to get a motherboard with 2 pci express cards

Slots, not cards.

and then get to of the same video card

It isnt necessary that both be the same.

which then would give me 4 out puts which is too
much for me or idk if i can i just would do 3.

Yes, you dont have to use all the outputs available, just like
you dont have to use both outputs on a dual head card either.

Thats the way to do it, more than one video card.

I use a matrox agp with 3 outputs. pretty old for gaming call of duty
2 doesn't work. seems like they will never fix it. Something about
pixel shading support.
But nice, have 3 monitors. I use mine setup in 3072X768 resolution
