Triple Monitor setup question

Dave Weizenegger · 2009-01-12T08:59:38

I want to add a third monitor to my setup, but I am not sure how. I currently have an 8800 Ultra with dual monitors. Would I just add any video card for the third monitor? I assume if I add another 8800 Ultra and do SLI, I would only be able to do 2 monitors, or would I be able to do up to four with SLI?

Check out the Matrox triple head to go. http://www.matrox.com/

You can get up to 6 displays connected to the same pc using two of these. On the PC side, each device appears as one big monitor (3072 x 768), allowing you to stretch your desktop (and taskbar) to 6144 x 768, with two.

It will not reliably support anything below 1024 x 768 per screen.
