Will single GTX 460 run 3 monitors??

Will a single 460 1GB run 3 monitors. Other than the Zotac 3D??
Thanks in advance,

Nope, not at the same time.

How far up the food chain do I have to go to get a multi panel capable card?

if you want that you need an ATI card which supports eyefinity (3 displays). All the ATI 5xxx or 6xxx cards do that. For nvidia you need 2 cards to display more than 2 monitors. If you are planning on gaming with 3 monitors you really need 2 higher end cards in sli/crossfire. If you just want to display 3 monitors for non-gaming use, then any of the ati 5xxx series or 6xxx series cards are capable. For a card similar to gtx460 performance an ati 6850 would be the go.

Thank you, any issues running two 6850's in an intel set up? An intel rig can run x fire too right?

yes it can, but when you decide to play a game you're stuck with one monitor.

As long as the motherboard supports it you shouldn't have any problems. Most boards are either/or and not both so figure out which you have first if you're wanting a dual card setup.
