Can the HDMI port be used to run a third monitor?

I'm running dual monitors on my GeForce GT 520 and in response to your question I tried using the HDMI-VGA adapter from my laptop but there's not enough space to insert my adapter due to the chassis and VGA connectors. I use this adapter with my laptop for an additional monitor so I'd expect to work on a desktop. Try contacting tech support at evga.com/support

I don't believe so. Have not tried with the GeForce GT 520 but an older, similar GeForce would not.

Yes you can. That is exactly my setup at work. You could also hdmi out to another independent monitor and usb out to another if you wanted. Thanks rMBP!

Yes, I use the HDMI port to add a 2nd monitor so I can use the dual monitor feature of Windows.

You can only daisy chain using the DP out to another monitor, the HDMI port is input only unless otherwise noted on the port.

The card can drive up to three monitors. However, there are two DVI ports, one HDMI, and one displayport, so just make sure all three monitors will be able to connect to these simultaneously.

Yes you can. These things are great by the way. I have a three monitor set up and they're rock solid.

If you use Both DVI ports, and the HDMI at once, 3. I'm pretty sure you can use the DisplayPort to get 4 but I wouldn't expect good gaming framerates with more than 2 monitors.

You have to have two active adapters and one VGA to get three monitors (in my experience). One active adapter and one passive adapter does not work.

Yes, you can. You don't have to use 2 monitors. For the card or cable to work properly

no it will not work, you will need to purchase an **active** display-port adapter in order to do 3 monitors. Atleast one of your 3 monitors will need to be set up with an active port and the other two can be hooked up with any other type of connection.

It should be able to do so. You may need to buy a splitter though. If you have 3 monitors you may consider running 2 from the video card and the third from your motherboard's onboard graphics card if you have one. Otherwise the hardware on the motherboard is just going to waste anyway.

I wouldn't bet on it without more checking , have a RADEON hd 6450 and isn't allowing the third moniter. So having the same problem. According to amd you need one display port connection to go to the third monitor. the req,s for the "eyefinity controls" on their website. still trying to solve this myself so not much help for setting up three monitors

I am using only two monitors but I would guess that three are fine. The card has only two DVI ports and one extra HDMI and probably works like any other single card (that is two monitors). I would be worried about the power input but that is a different issue.

Yes you can, however, one of the ports are VGA (analog signal) and the other uses DVI (digital video input).

Yes you can, though i'd recommend using through mini display port if you just want to link the monitor, unless you want to link to a tv i'd use HDMI. However yes you can have total of two monitors in extended mode

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

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.
