No, I wanted to run 4 monitors and I bought 2 of these, if you are able to install 3 cards in your PC then you can run up to 4 monitors. if you do not want to buy a second Video card might I suggest buying this video card and a RioRand (TM) USB 2.0 Multi-Display Adapter, this adapter is USB and works great, I bought two so I could run 4 monitors with this video card, (non gaming environment).

2 Monitors at most on this card but you also have a mini hdmi port for a TV or an extra monitor maybe 3 and it does support WIN 8

Hi Saul,Yes this card can support up to four monitors on one card. I currently run three monitors two plugged in DVI and one Display port.

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.

Yes. You can run up to 3 (verified) monitors at a time the HDMI and two dvi.

Hi, Yes you can. This unit has DVI, VGA and HDMI ports to plug in your monitors and Windows 8 supports multiple monitors.Thanks, PCrush

It has 4 ports (2 DVI, 1 HDMI, 1 Display Port) so technically you can but I've personally been taught that for more than two monitors you should run two cards.

Typically that is a question of your video card and not of your motherboard. Most video cards can support up to 3 monitors now though.

Yes, I have 4 monitors running off this card, all on HDMI. The card outputs four DVI's and I use a DVI-HDMI adapter on each. Great card, awesome setup. Note that I use it for business, not gaming, so I can't really make any claims to performance.

On Windows 7 it does support up to two. However, on Linux Mint 17 I was able to connect three monitors to this card on extended desktop using the xorg open source driver. (This card needed to be set as primary though in BIOS to do so.) I am not sure if three is okay for the hardware though given that the ATI proprietary driver does not allow for three monitors (only two) in Windows 7.

Yes. Dual monitors should work fine provided you use any 2 of the three interfaces (DVI, HDMI, VGA). Using three monitors seems to have been an issue for some, and using 2 monitors with same interface/cable would require an adapter and *might* cause an issue. Just use one DVI and one HDMI and you will be fine! That being said...if you plan on doing anything more than watching video or playing VERY simple games (like puzzle/adventure games or old school DX9 games) then I have to agree with KYle -- buy a cheap graphics card. The nice thing about this new board is it is cheap,rock solid(so far), and allows you to make that upgrade down the line when you have more cash.

This card can easily support two monitors using any two of its outputs. With DisplayPort cabling you can run up to 6 I believe.

The card has the ability to use three monitors. Just make sure one of the monitors has a HDMI port. You have two DVI ports and one HDMI.

This card can support 4 monitors, but you have to use the two DVIs, the display port, and HDMI ports to hook them up. I hope this helps!

Depends on your application. In a gaming context, one of these cards can run one monitor at full HD at good framerates at or near maximum image quality settings with current game titles. With two cards running in SLI, two monitors can be comfortably supported. For three monitors in a panoramic screen array, you'll either want a third card in your SLI configuration or back off the image quality settings.

The card has three possible outputs to monitors, but I have never seen software that will drive three monitors. I use UltraMon and it is limited to a dual monitor setup. My guess is that you'll be limited by your choice of software/drivers.

No, this card is a 2 head card. For three monitors you would require a2 separate card with at least 2 video heads on 1 card. There are some cards on the market that have several heads VIA cables.

It will run at 8x when running 2 graphics cards and at 16x when running 1, 3 or 4 cards.
