3 monitor video card SILENT

[netanauda]

Hello all.
What video card would You suggest to buy if I need to connect 3 monitors ? 3 monitors one after another.

I have done research and there is so much un-matched info. I can not find one what is right.

In one page somebody says it does not work with 3 monitors, on other page it says works fine.

Anyway I need those displays just for browsing net, I do not game at all. Some movies will be watched though.

Also I would appreciate if video card would be without cooler, SILENT in short.
Also I'm looking as cheapest price as possible, as I do not need anything fancy.

Thanks

What are you using it for?

Like I said,. Browsing net. I'm working online, so most of the time I browse internet, or develop in notepad. Watching movies also, but thats does happen on just one screen obvious.

Thanks

Um... Sure.

There's always this, but it's based on G98, which is an 8 year old architecture.

You have to look at the specific model of the gpu in some cases. The cheapest I'd go is a 710 which is a good example. Officially it supports 3 monitors but certain models only support 2 even when they have 3 ports.

And the zotac page just to confirm it supports 3.

I have checked really hard about GeForce GT 710 like You said some models work and some does not with 3 monitors. There is also some users wrote it does not work.

So my question is how can I know what models work with 3 monitors and what does not ?

Thanks

As I mentioned, you have to look up the specific model. There's no quick way to do this other than looking on the manufacturer's website which is why I provided the link.

NVIDIA Geforce cards only support 2 HDMI/DVI signals at a time. The third would have to Displayport or DP to Active DVI adapter.

Very few cards actually support more than two HDMI/DVI/ Analog signals at a time.

That's not for all nvidia gpus. Not even amd gpus. I find most nvidia do support any 3+ which is the opposite of what you said. Here's someone I helped before with a 710 and the same ports with 3 working. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3517878/inexpensive-display-support-video-card.html
