Cards are ok ...They will not run the new COD but runs most games pretty good.I have had this PC for almost a year I had to upgrade ramm and the CPU fan was like a dentist drill.....I would not recommend it for any high end graphics .....but with monor upgrades it really is a great PC and customer support is also second to none......

Have not used it with a 3 monitor setup. I have used it for Iracing, and it does fine. You can max out graphics if you like and still have 80+ fps, at least mine did. Graphics cards are great running in crossfire.

Your best bet would be an nVidia 750 Ti for about 150 for a halfway decent card that can run three monitors on its own. It's low powered enough to run off the PCIe power alone without a 6 pin PCIe power connector, and powerful enough to run most games at pretty good settings.

It's handled a 780TI, a 4570k OC'd to 4.5, and multiple outbound power draws (external hdds, iphone, microphones, etc...) without a hiccup for months. I imagine you could SLI/Crossfire any card combo and run a stable system without a problem. Tri-card and further setups might need a little more juice, depending on the cards you go with.

Yeah it runs LoL fine, especially w/ a good graphics card, I wouldn't be running 20 programs at once while trying to play LoL, honestly ive had this for about 6 months but instead you should think about the FX8350, Im about to get it as well. its more money but its a investment and literally like 4x better than this

Rob I the specs say "supports 2 monitors." This is really great card for the prize and based on many comparisons I made. Look at the specs at visiontek.. you may want to call visiontek to double check on the monitor capability but I do not believe it will support 3 monitors. If you end up buying this buy it from Amazon. Reason is I had a problem on a return to visiontek on another card. they are a bit hard nosed. Check my Amazon review on a different visiontek card I purchased and exchanged. Amazon took care of it. Not sure how much expertise you have with computers but if it is an older one the motherboard may not handle it. so check the mobo also. Good luck.

Yes, I am currently running three monitors, with one on display port with an HD 7770. Works great so far, been running it for about two months without issue.

3 gaming monitors or 4 non-game monitors. I have a 4 monitor setup running on a 1 GB card and it is working fine. The only problem is to watch the system heat as anything above 45 C is too hot for sustained 1920 x 1080 on each monitor. If you are gaming I suggest Flawless Wide-screen to fix the scaling problems.

Thanks for the advice. I'm currently holding off on a new video card, because my desktop would require a new power source and fan to run it. (I actually have a power source/fan combo that I could install, but I like the quiet, low power status quo.) I guess I should pick a monitor that can keep up when I finally bite the bullet and get a card, though.

Hi, I have been playing some newer games like Watch Dogs and The Crew: Beta. They run pretty well on low settings and 720p resolution. I can play Grid : Auto sport on medium to high settings on 1080p resolution pretty well. Battlefield 3 also runs pretty smooth on medium settings with 900p resolution. So it will satisfy your minimum gaming needs. But if you are looking for better graphics you should look for the model with the nvidia gt750 card.

You can control which gpu to use as you set dedicated gpu per program, or let it run default. Normally, 750m gpu won't kick in until games are running by default.Sounds like 4 speakers in really good quality. They can play relatively loud compared to my alienware m18x r1. What games are you playing?

Will this card support 3 monitors? Have you run a game using all three monitors?

NO, it by itself will support two monitors. you would need a second video card to support a 3rd and potentially 4 monitor.I needed to get this video card, to go along with another video card that i had to support 3 monitors.But this card (GeForce GT 610 has been a great video card for me...no problems with it.

Yes I can utilize the graphics that the new processors have built in. Should be some video outputs on the board. This is sufficient for everything but gaming or more than 2 monitors.

I like my EVGA GeForce GT 610 I watch a lot of videos too, looks great. One warning make sure you know how work with windows fonts, they changed when I installed the card. I'm using 8.1 though

This motherboard (along with the FM2 AMD processor) only support up to three monitors. I haven't tried the kind of setup you want, but i would imagine it would still switch from the APU (on board graphics) to GPU (dedicated graphics card) like it would on most motherboards. I believe (and don't quote me on this) you MAY be able to set up more than 3 monitors if you get two graphics cards and run them in SLI mode. Just make sure the cards have the right Ports for your monitors and the desired amount. I hope this helps at least a little bit!feel free to ask any other questions you may have, i may be able to help you out haha This motherboard (along with the FM2 AMD processor) only support up to three monitors.

I use the Nvidia Geforce GT 610. It has DVI, HDMI, and VGA connections. Works great with this computer. Just plug it in. Plug and play. And it is inexpensive.

Yea, I have a very similar pc as yours. It runs very well. It can run almost all the major games. I often play LOL and it runs very smoothly at the highest settings. But make sure you have a >= 400 watts power supply. My dell came with a 320 watts without an extra plug for graphic card. So I also changed my power supply.
