Can I set up 3 monitors with a single GTX 780 Lightning edition?

[Lawson Pugh]

Hi there, I was wondering if it would be possible to set up 3 monitors using a MSI GTX 780 Lightning Edition? I will post my set up below in case it helps.

Thanks, Lawson.

Yes you can

 

[bignastyid]

Yes, the 780 supports up to 4 monitors(3 in surround with 1 accessory display).

 

[xhanku]

It can definitely support 3 monitors. But are you planning to game on those 3 monitors with a single 780 lightning?

 

[Lawson Pugh]

Okay, thank you. How do I set this up and what is the accessory display?

Thanks, Lawson.

 

[Lawson Pugh]

Hopefully I will be gaming on the 3 monitors yes, in a few years I will be able to get a second GTX 680 possibly third.
