Will this video card allow me to run 3 monitors on extend not duplicate?

Yes it will.

Are you trying to do Eyefinity? or just extend them to make the desktop bigger?

I am taking my old desktop and converting into a workstation for my currency and stock trading. I just need a card that will work with my ASUS P7P55D PRO LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard. My other idea was to just do SLI GTX 275 since I already have 1 and can get a second for around $130. Any thoughts?

Well either way it will work.Just depends on which one you want to go with.Personally I would go with the 6870 because it consumes a lot less power than the GTX275 SLI and it's much easier plugging all the monitors into one card.

Thank you, I think thats what I will do.

BTW:

Do you know of a good monitor 21.5-23 that looks good when sat 3 side by side. Or if you know how they make the trading setups where the monitors are like seamless almost

I know what you mean but I find it hard to look for a monitor with a small bezel online.Best way,I think, would be to go to a computer store and see which ones have the smallest bezel in person.If the price isn't right just get the model number and look it up on newegg or something for a cheaper deal.
