That gives me a lot of clarity. Thank you so much!

So, going with the following cables would allow me to do a 3 monitor set up without any issue, and no extra equipment? 1 - HDMI cable (Monitor to Card) 1 - DVI-I to HDMI (Card to Monitor) 1 - DVI-D to HDMI (Card to Monitor)

I thought I would consult the experts on this one before paying for the cables and finding out I was wrong. I have three Dell 24" S2415H monitors. Connector Ports - VGA HDMI I have an Asus GTX 760 4GB card and I want to hook them all up to the one card.. From my research I need an Active...

I tried what you said. When I originally started it up, it booted, turned off, booted again and prompted the same A2 code. Any ideas?

I seem to be having trouble with my new build on the Maximus VII Hero motherboard. Whenever I plug in my CPU cable from my PSU to the EATX12V port on the VII Hero motherboard I get an 'A2' code which indicates an 'IDE Detect' error, preventing any post. I've tried to replicate the issue with...

Hello, I am doing research on the variations of the GTX 780 Ti cards for a new build. I plan to do watercooling with a pre-configured H100i kit. Looking at PCPartPicker it seems there are several from EVGA and ASUS (my prefered brands) but I can not tell the difference between them based on...

Sad I can only pick one person the as best solution. This thread has great resources for everyone and I hope it gets used wisely.

Alright, so SLI/XFIRE is good just in terms of better performance, but as a play-for-fun gamer instead of the used-to-be-competitive gamer, I don't see that being an issue. I was planning on one card, with at least 3-4GB on the card. Back to the motherboard question though... After learning...

Monitors will be 23-24" IPS LED Back-lit, 1080p or more res, with HDMI inputs. (still looking into them) GPU will be either Nvidia GTX 770 or above, or AMD 6 series and up. Settings ultra high.

So, if I was able to do gaming on a 3 monitor display, all I really need is the windows extended manager and not SLI/XFIRE? That seems easy enough. Don't see the need for SLI/XFIRE if that is the case. Unless there is a difference between them?

I just want a 3 monitor display for games and work-related topics (video editing, photoshop, graphical stuff and webinar use). I suppose I don't need SLI?? But, what is the benefit of SLI over using regular monitor settings to make 3 monitors act as one?

You said earlier in the conversation that with the mobo's I was looking at, I wouldn't be able to do 3 way SLI/XFire. So, if I decided to do 3 way sli/xfire, not just multi window through Windows settings, I would have to look at another motherboard with quad channels? The issue everyone stated...

Okay, that helped me a lot more, I think. So regardless, I could still get the above 2 mentioned mobo's (hero or sabertooth) attached with a higher end graphics card (to run my 3 monitors)? I would be able to plug all 3 monitors into my graphics card, via adapters (hdmi, display port, dvi,)...

So, can I run 3 monitors that only has dual channels or do I need one with quad channels? Do monitors need to be set in SLI/xFire or can they be set up just by connecting to your graphics card? I am a confused if there is only one, or multiple ways to set up a 3-monitor display. I was going...

To give you an idea of what I am trying to achieve... I am trying to spend around 200-250 for a mobo that will run 3 monitors for light gaming, video editing, work related documents (always have 5 up), video streaming while playing a game, etc. Case: Corsairs 650D CPU/Processor: Intel Core...
