I have a very specific need; a low-profile graphics card that can power three monitors in a Linux-based setup.

This is for work, not gaming so doesn't need to be any kind of powerful!

Did try an Nvidia Geforce GT710 but it didn't work.

Thanks.

Zotac offers lowprofile gtx 1650 super that easily runs 3 displays just look for models that have 3 gpu ports

If only it were as easy as that. I bought an Nvidia Gefore GT710 which had three ports but did not support 3 monitors at once. (Hence my question here ;))

Was also hoping not to have to pay that much; but guess I will if I have to!

Thanks.

So are all cards with multiple outputs supposed to work with all of them at once then, regardless of make, model and platform? (Assuming available drivers, of course.)
