My Win7 vid card supports 2 monitors (not 3) and I already have 2 hooked up. Will this allow me to add a 3rd since it's an external vid card?

Yes. Be aware though that if you have a lot of application windows open the video quality in this extended monitor will degrade.

I have the same set up. Yes, it works. I now have 3 monitors working. Windows 7.

Yes this will allow you to add an additional monitor to your system. I use. 2 of these on my laptop plus the onboard VGA adapter to run 4 monitors

It depends on your video card, this is not related to monitor, I believe most of video cards have the option to hook up more than one monitor. the monitor is great, I use it for 2d, used it for 3d gaming once or twice.

i have 2 monitors hooked up - 1 through standard VGA and 1 through a DVI -> HDMI connector (the computer has an HDMI port). but they are old monitors, and it took a bit of doing to find the correct windows drivers. but it is doable.

I just tried it with Windows 7 and it worked. I used the HDMI port on the left and the VGA port on the right. I believe when you do this you can no longer your the laptop screen (as a 3rd screen). Now maybe if you have the laptop docked you could run 3 monitors but not 100% sure

Hi, This card will support two monitors simultaneously, as stated in the manual. Given that, I don't really see why you would want to drive one monitor from the card and one from the motherboard - using system RAM rather than dedicated graphics RAM. However, if the latter is what you wanted to do, I can't think why that would not work. But, it's a great card at a bargain price so why not drive two monitors from it?

To be totally honest, I have no idea. The only things I have setup are a 19" monitor and a 32" TV - for which this card runs wonderfully. I don't see why the card CAN'T handle 3 or 4 monitors, but it probably depends on what your operating system can handle.

I have 2 monitors on my system, one using the built in DVI, the other using HDMI. I am running Win 7 and both work side by side just fine. I can move the mouse between them and it acts as if its just one monitor. All of this without and extra video card. Does that help?

No. The Nvidia drivers only allow you to use 2 monitors at a single time with this card. I tried to use 3 monitors using the Windows interface and then again with the Nvidia driver interface. The Windows interface doesn't allow you to use 3 monitors but doesn't tell you why. The Nvidia interface specifically tells you that this card only supports 2 video outputs.

I am not sure about this feature. The card can support 4 monitors and run " independent " windows. As far as " stretched display mode ". I am not sure. I would recommend to to ask this question to tech support team at manufacturer's web site. They can really give you a answer to this question.

All depends on how much fps you want, it will only support two if you want More than 60 fps. Otherwise this card has two dvi and one hdmi so yeas you can support three different monitors.

yes u absolutely can. i have 2 of these card running 4 monitors but before i bought my second card i was running the 4 monitors on the single card

Yes, it works very well with Windows 7. * Just be aware of the extra thickness of the heat sink, which is on both sides of the card! * Plus you can only run (2) displays per card, even though it has (3) connections! I was going to add (2) of these video cards into a system to run (6) monitors per PC. The standard PCI slot on older Dell PC's, did not / does not disable the "On Board" video allowing (2) more displays per additional video card. The only problem was that in my case, the Dell PC's were Small Form Factor and only had (2) PCI slots which were adjacent to each other. What you cannot tell from the pictures, is that the heat sink wraps around the video card and is on both the front and the back for additional heat dissipation without a fan. This additional space required by the heat sink will not allow (2) cards to be inserted into adjacent slots, or even in the last slot on the Dell Small Form Factor case.

This only allows one additional monitor to be plugged in. In addition to a currently running monitor. This will not allow you to run 2 monitors plus your standard monitor. It will only allow a +1 monitor

Nope. One should do you just fine. Your computer should us the existing display driver for the first one then this will drive the second monitor.

I have seen references to ATI Eyefinity software that is supposed to support three monitors from this card, but I have not installed that software, nor have I tried three monitors on the card I have ( two works well, and that's what I need personally ). Also, if you're forced to use a low profile card, you will only be able to see the hdmi and dvi ports with the lo profile adapter on the card.

yes u can as long as u kno how to do it that is....i ran up to 3 monitors with the help of that same vid 2 runing off the vid card and 1 strate from the tower itself so yeh u can run 1, 2 or 3 if u like.

The card supports three options of inputHDMIDvi d dual link (might be dvi i dual link. Whatever dual link belongs to)And standard rgb input. So there is a possibility for the card to support a 3 monitor input.
