3 monitor hook up: Does this card disable the onboard video card?
848674
Most motherboard/video card combinations will disable the onboard video. There are exceptions. Some motherboards onboard video may be enabled using ATI crossfire. Sorry, I do not have more information or specifics. What you are asking for is rare and not typically used.

Yep, Eyefinity is highly configurable. I prefer three monitors (I use 3x1680x1050), but I believe this card supports more. See http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/MultimonitorFAQ.aspx

I'm running three external monitors using this unit with my ASUS UX51V laptop, which has a single HDMI output. After updating the drivers for both the Plugable box and my internal video card, everything works beautifully!Note that the Plugable box provides one HDMI out and one DVI, so you will need both options on your monitors (or a DVI-to-HDMI adapter).

yes.I used it with up to three monitors off this one card but it became extremely sluggish trying to push out the resolution (4000x800)Offloaded one port and moved a monitor to my integraded and made the performance better...

first of all john, nice name. onto the question though, i personally have been unsuccessful at using a triple screen display with a single videocard, BUT thats not to say that its impossible, i have tried an active adapter that goes from dvi (dual link) to vga, however it might work with the displayport, but i do not have the money anymore to try it

I presently have three monitors connected to the card with two other slots available. Since I do not have the need for five monitors I have not tested such a configuration however, the three that I have work perfectly. One for gaming, one for general use, and the other for streaming Netflix movies. Being ADHD this config satisfies my need for multiple views. :-)

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. Rob I the specs say "supports 2 monitors."

Video card does not require 2 displays. But you may connect up to 2 displays to this desktop. Thank you

I don't think any 1 card could handle triple monitor support all at the same time. if they do - nvr came across on myself, usually cards have dual support but with multi ports, DVI, HDMI, and old school VGA. EVGA has great tech support - best bet would be to contact them.... Good luck - FYI - I like the card - no problems yet.. I play GW2 at max in 3D. If it dies support 3-4 monitors at once.. gona really take the life out of it fast...

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).

The OS shouldn't matter. It does work with 3 monitors but no more. If you want to use more than 3 then this card isn't for you. Very good card for gaming on low to medium settings, if you want a somewhat strong card for a low price, go with this, if you want a very good card, go with the nvidia 680, I have that in my PC for gaming.

Haven't tried it, but if you have a low-profile slot, the mounting bracket only has space for two outputs--the display port and the DVI so that would be a show stopper. If full-height slot, then VGA, DVI and HDMI physically possible, you would have to verify that drivers will support 3 displays software-wise. Incidentally. the card comes with a DVI-to-HDMI adapter which supports HDMI audio output as well. Hope this helps.

Yes it does, you're gonna need a monitor with a d_sub/VGA connector, one with a dvi-d connector, and one with an HDMI connector. If you're thinking of gaming on all three monitors the I wouldn't recommend it, get like a r9 280x or 290x, but if its for general use multitasking then yes, I'd recommend it.

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!

I am running with dual monitors and it works perfectly. However, it does support up to three monitors or 3+1 in Nvidia surround.

Not concurrently, in my experience. It will let you toggle between 2, if you have 3 connected. If you want to have a third monitor for basic 2-D stuff, you might get one of those add on USB-DVI/VGA devices, but they are CPU intensive.

On this one I believe we just installed it and it worked - we have a few different multi monitor cards - the ones that have one plug with two monitor ends are usually plug & play
