1080p Triple monitor setup GPU?

[HellishGoat]

Alright so basically here is my situation upfront and straight: I want three 1080p monitors running together. Here are my specs of my machine (got a sweet black friday deal a year ago)

| Dell Inspiron 3487 |

16GB DDR3 RAM
Dell 088DT1 motherboard
Intel HD Graphics 4600
300W stock psu
Intel core i5-4460 cpu running @3.2GHz (not overclocked)
OS: Windows 10


So I want to buy a graphics card that can support three 1080p monitors (5760x1080). This setup is NOT for gaming so I don't need a titan or some highly expensive GPU. I'd like the cheapest, preferably small form factor GPU available. I'll buy a card that supports SLI (so I'd have to buy 2-3), or a card that can flat out support my resolution. Any help would be appreciated

Also: I have no idea if I can plug one monitor into the motherboard with the integrated graphics and the other two into a cheap card like a EVGA GeForce GT 610. According to some other forums, I can't do that. So my only option is having all 3 monitors on one individual gpu (or something with sli).

If anyone has ANY solution to my problem (preferably cheap), please let me know! Thank you all so much

Cheers!

you can definitely look out for gtx 950 ti it supports three screens and you can plug all your three monitors in the card itself. but you will need to upgrade your psu to maybe 500w

Will this support three 1080p monitors though? The max resolution says that it can't, but does it support SLI? Also it requires 400W when I only have 300W

yeah... i'm aware of that lol, but I want to try to find the cheapest solution possible so if there is any other viable option please let me know! The setup isn't for gaming so I don't really need a 980, 960, a titan or anything of the such

It supports 3 monitors. Read the reviews on it that's what about half of the people bought it for and were using it. And it says it here: http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/desktop/6000/6450

As far as the PSU goes this card pulls almost no power (about 25w). According to http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator at full load you'd be around 225w. So you should be safe.

Wait... the max resolution means the max resolution PER display? or the overall graphics output?

Yes the 6450 flex can support 3 1080p monitors. A guy on the Sapphire forums used the exact same card and reported success: https://www.sapphireforum.com/showthread.php?29764-Triple-displays-on-SAPPHIRE-Radeon-HD-6450 (posts 5-8)

Also this in the Amazon reviews for the Sapphire 6450 Flex: "I was looking for an eyefinity card that I could hook two dvi-d monitors and an HDMI display up to, and this worked perfect! Love having triple-head displays running at 1080p!"

Just followed the forum and found the proper item:

This should work... right? (I just wanna be sure because this is my first attempt at a triple monitor setup)

 

[timeconsumer]

Thanks! But according to the forum, I NEED a display port connection to run this. Is this only for a gaming eyefinity setup? Or would a converter be fine for running a "typical" productivity triple monitor setup?

You don't they were confused about the card at first and talking about a regular 6450, not the 6450 flex. The flex does not require displayport and can be run off the two DVI and the HDMI (which it already comes with an adaptor for) he says it at the bottom of post #5: "With the "FleX Edition" of Sapphire cards will be able to use three monitors and even better, without a DisplayPort."

Haha I just saw that and was about to report back here to tell everyone
Thank you so much for the help! Looks like I'll be ordering the FleX Radeon HD 6450

Yeah, the entire existence of this card is to power triple display setups on the cheap with a single SFF card. This should work excellent for you, I hope you enjoy it.
