Re: Which nVidia cards support 3 independent displays?said by Gordo74:I know the ATI 5xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx series work with up to 4 monitors each. As far as nVidia, you can do 2 monitors per video card. Onboard video can do up to 3 (Ivy Bridge can do 3 if 2 are through displayport connections). Not sure but I think nVidia has finally added 3-4 monitor support on a single card in the 600 series. |

Not sure about the 650, which is what my original question was - exactly which ones?I think I'll settle with using a secondary card for the 2nd/3rd monitors, whether that be with a nVidia 8400GS (since I have some laying around) or the Sandy Bridge iGPU, but I'd still like to know. |

I'm currently using it with two monitors, off the VGA and DVI ports, but I wonder if I had a third monitor that did HDMI (or an HDMI to DVI adapter) if it too, would support three monitors.. Enquiring minds.... |
