Plaayer Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Okay, so my dad wants to run a triple screen setup at his work so he can drag one file to another screen, and looking at another window. I have a PC with the basic essentials, but doesn't have that big of a case. So I was wondering, how could I run this setup? Note: This is NOT for gaming. Just for MS Office files, watching a couple of videos, and for reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizfunky Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 You will need a graphics card that can output to 3 different monitors. The ATI 5xxx series has two DVI ports and a DisplayPort or HDMI. The new 6xxx series is supposed to have even more. i.e.: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102898 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deag1e Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 um no griz the price hes going to pay for the matrox triple or even the double head to go is ridiculous, if hes computer is somewhat up to date ie, has a graphics card with dual dvi then all he will need is a second cheap graphics card if his computer has the extra slot for one. currently my computer is running 3 monitors and my 42" plasma off just a gtx 470 and an old 8800gts 512.
