so i need a cheap nvidia card that gonna be able to run 3 monitors at once and is only the width of one slot. if the cards slot width is one and the cooler makes it worth 2 slots il just replace the cooler for a smaller one.
the reason that it needs to be a one slot is because the spot it will go on my motherboard will be the last slot on the very edge of the board, so there is no room unless i remove the power supply, and we all know thats not a option....at first.
i7 4770k
asus z87-a
128 ssd
3 tb
16 gb cas 7 1600
850 watt
5.1 sound card
7970 ghz with 3 24 in monitors( will be upgrading to a 780 ti, hence the reason for needing another nvidia card not a amd or ati)
6570 with 2 monitors a 55 in tv and a 19 flat analog small monitor for all my icons and system monitor programs
turns out when you have different resolutions from your eyefinity setup it causes them problems when you go in and out of games. i had a 720 tv hooked up and it forced it to 1080 and moved the 19 in on top of the eyefinity and made it 1080 as well. now that i got the 55 in 1080 it forces it to the same res as the 19 and moves the 19 all the way over to the left. such a pain all the time.
so basically the second nvidia card will just run 3 monitors for extra viewing space while the 780 ti will run my 3 gaming monitors and my tv. i dont want to get a card thats over 50 bucks just to get rid of it when i get a second 780 ti down the road and even then id most likely just ad even more monitors .
for now this is my plan
780 ti>3 24 in monitors and one 55 in tv
low end nvidia card> 3 24 in monitors
and then just cause im crazy 3 more on the second ti
If you think what im gonna do is a waste of money it most likely is, but i love having the extra viewing space to view all the file folders at once and many browser tabs.
i also have the option of usb to dvi/hdmi/vga but those are not good for viewing videos much
