Don't know. But since I have not actually tried it, didn't want to give a definite "NO!" to the question of whether you could hook 3 monitors to a single card. The old Matrox Parhelia will handle two monitors and a TV, but not a real high resolutions

There is also the 3870X2 from Asus which has quad DVI ports though I know not if it suffers from the fan issues of other 3870x2's and then there is the price. James Maki wrote: > Thanks for the response. It seems that multiple video cards to drive > multiple monitors is successful. > > After fi

Thanks for the response. It seems that multiple video cards to drive multiple monitors is successful. After finally figuring out the correct search phrase (PCI-E X16 x4 bandwidth) I found several sites that discuss using a pci-e x16 video card in a x16/x4 bandwidth slots. Thanks for the help.

Rick, Thanks for the response. I have several additional questions-- 1) Do all 4 monitors show up Properties | Settings? 2) Are all the video cards of similar vintage/type? 3) Are you using PCIe (x16 or x4) or a mixture of PCIe, AGP and/or PCI? Thanks Jim > -Original Message- > From:
