It can run 3 monitors, I have mine on a hybrid eyefinity setup. BUT you will need an ACTIVE displayport adapter otherwise you can only run 2 screens at once.

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.

This card only supports two monitors unless you purchase an ACTIVE adapter (sold separately) with its own DAC and internal 'clock'. It will recognize up to 4 monitors but only actively display on two. You MUST purchase an active adapter for more connections.

The card supports three options of input HDMI Dvi 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.

Depends what you want to do with it. Can you run 3 monitors? Yes. Can you play games on 3 monitors? Probably not. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1649970/geforce-gtx-650-run-monitors.htmlhttp://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/video-cards/57285-video-card-choices-3-4-monitors.htmlhttp://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1649970/geforce-gtx-650-run-monitors.html#.

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

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.

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?

You can only use 1 at a time. I am not sure how the adaptor will pick which port has priority but I know the full size display port has priority over the DVI port. The frame rate is perfect. This is not a USB port so the mini display port is like having an extra DVI, Display or HDMI port on the computer. Your Video Card will need to support the number of Monitors you plan to use. I have a Nvidia K1000M and it supports up to 3 monitors. I am using the 2 built in ports on my computer plus this for a total of 3 monitors.

This card will only drive two monitors. Worked well for me with the dual configuration.

Yes, that is how my setup is: http://i.imgur.com/vc7h9mm.jpgHere's the trick though, you need to buy 2 of these. I know there are directions that say "the third monitor must use the adapter" but it's actually 2 out of the 3 screens need to have them in order to work. I'm using an older mac pro tower and it has 2 mini display ports and 1 dvi. I have the 2 mini display cables each running through an Accell adapter, and then my third screen goes straight from dvi to hdmi to the TV. Make sure all of your connections are seated properly, I thought my adapters went out but it was the weight of the cable "pulling" slightly on my HDMI. I've been using these for a few months now and they haven't failed yet! Yes, that is how my setup is: http://i.imgur.com/vc7h9mm.jpgHere's the trick though, you need to buy 2 of these.

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.

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).

I recently just set mine up last night. I am using 3 monitors and had to go into the BIOS and enable onboard video to get the 3rd monitor to work. 2 of my monitors are plugged into the Video Card using 1 DVI and 1 HDMI and the 3rd is plugged into onboard DVI. Im assuming you could use the extra onboard VGA to hook up a 4th monitor if you needed to. If you didn't want to use VGA then you would have to install a 2nd video card in the machine.

Yes. You can at least hook up 2 monitors through the card with many different viewing options. I think you may even be able to hook up 3 at a time if you needed to by connecting a monitor to your stock on board video as well.

Same experience here -- I couldn't get it to support 3 monitors concurrently.We ended up getting DisplayLink USB to VGA adapters for the third monitor, since we're just doing office work (documents, spreadsheet, emails). It's worked well and seemed to be the lowest cost option.If you need 3 monitors for gaming, I assume you would need 2 graphics cards (and probably a stronger power supply), although I haven't done it so can't confirm.
