You can't run more than 2 displays with an nvidia card. You would need 2 for that, and since you want cuda this is kind of going to screw you over. Get a 6950 then.

 

[esrever]

you are looking at 2x 450 if you want cuda and 3 displays for $200 which is kinda a bad deal for everything else.

so i cant run 3 lcd`s of one gpu even tho there will be 3 or 4 outputs?

 

[esrever]

not unless you ditch cuda and go with AMD.

 

[500]

ok i heard that cuda supports CS rite? but is it there big different between nvidia and ati?is it really important for cs to have cuda? what about this one Galaxy GeForce GTX560 Ti MDT X5

 

[esrever]

no nvidia single gpu currently supports 3 displays. you'd need 2 of them for what ever you choose.

by CS you mean adobe CS? cuda is supported in that and does offer some nice things.

Heres the gpu support list but you won't be able to do 3 monitors for any single of the gpus.

yes cs i meant photoshop ok but that galaxy it says its supports 5 displays but why they put there so many outputs when you cant use all of them??? there didnt even mentioned gtx560

 

[esrever]

oh nvm, that gpu will work with 5 displays, just make sure you have the mini hdmi cables. I was no aware they made a special card for multiple displays. It should work well.

Worked perfectly out of the box. Ran 3 x 22" LCD monitors off of one GTX275. If you arent looking to spend an ungodly amount of $$$ for a GPU that supports multi-displays, then go with Matrox Triplehead2go.

Good Luck!

well isnt there anything similar to this card? i could use one mini hdmi cable is included with card one mini hdmi converter and one dvi calbe no?

 

[esrever]

probably will work. I don't know if they have any specific cable preferences.

no i am not looking spend much tho most 300 or so but as i said i want something for photoshop gaming and 3 lcd

 

[esrever]

Do you do anything professional in photoshop that would require gpu processing because the cpu can do fine, just a bit slower.

you can do with a radeon in that case which would probably be much cheaper for the same gaming performance than that specially designed card.

Worked prefectly in gaming, Adobe After Effects, Sony Vega. Don't really mess around with PS, so idk. What I do know is that you can find a TH2G for 200-300 easy, you wont have to upgrade your GPU (unless you want to) and it splits your 1 x digital signal into 3 x digital signals. They way your attempting to go about it, will likely end up with you having 1 digital signal and 2 analog signals, which is not optimal for what you are trying to do with 3 displays. IMO try it out, and if you dont like it, send it back for a refund.

You would need an sli setup, how about buying 1 gtx 560ti for now and then getting one later for sli? Also I have seen people run 2 displays off of 1 card and then another display with the intel hd 3000 and z68 board.

Only option I can think of is getting a GTX460 2win or a 560 2win, or a GTX590.... But 600 series is rumoured to support more than 2 monitors, as a nice change.

 

[sunnk]

for 3 monitors go with amd cards like hd 6950 2gb.

get an twinfrozr iii for better cooling,overclocking and unlocking shraders.

or wait for kepler.

[esrever]

that will give you 3 monitors but no CUDA.

 

[500]

do i really need that for photoshop? tho
