what is meant by ready for 4k ultra on 3 screens. Can you actually run 3 monitors at 1 time from the mobo?

Yes you can! However 4K is very and almost nothing is available in 4K. Use the thunderbolt port. Read carefully about what you need to daisy chain your monitors, and, good luck!

This MOBO has a dvi, display port and vga port. I use a discrete graphics card. The DVI and Display port support up to 4096x2160 however the MOBO manual does not specify if you can run 4K simultaneously from the DVI and Display port as you can with a discrete card with 2 DVI ports. Yes, you can daisy chain 3 1920x1080 monitors off the single display port. Cheers,Jim

Yes. Dual monitors should work fine provided you use any 2 of the three interfaces (DVI, HDMI, VGA). Using three monitors seems to have been an issue for some, and using 2 monitors with same interface/cable would require an adapter and *might* cause an issue. Just use one DVI and one HDMI and you will be fine! That being said...if you plan on doing anything more than watching video or playing VERY simple games (like puzzle/adventure games or old school DX9 games) then I have to agree with KYle -- buy a cheap graphics card. The nice thing about this new board is it is cheap,rock solid(so far), and allows you to make that upgrade down the line when you have more cash.

I believe the answer is indeed no. Don't have the technical terms at my fingertips, however I've been running lots of monitors with various graphics cards for years. In the end it seems to always comes down to the number of GPU's when running HDMI, DVI, or even older VGA monitors. I believe there is a technical limitation that you can only run 2 HDMI/DVI/VGA monitors per GPU. Since this only has 1 GPU, you can only run 2 non-DP monitors. You could however, run 2 HDMI and then more DP monitors at the same time. For me I just used all DP monitors and it has been working great for business apps etc. I believe the answer is indeed no.

Rob I the specs say "supports 2 monitors." This is really great card for the prize and based on many comparisons I made. Look at the specs at visiontek.. you may want to call visiontek to double check on the monitor capability but I do not believe it will support 3 monitors. If you end up buying this buy it from Amazon. Reason is I had a problem on a return to visiontek on another card. they are a bit hard nosed. Check my Amazon review on a different visiontek card I purchased and exchanged. Amazon took care of it. Not sure how much expertise you have with computers but if it is an older one the motherboard may not handle it. so check the mobo also. Good luck.

This can support up to three monitors however one of them has to use the Display Port connection and yes it works in crossfire :)

You have to have two active adapters and one VGA to get three monitors (in my experience). One active adapter and one passive adapter does not work.

Display port adapters can be purchased to twin monitors or separate them, so 4 monitors could potentially be ran simultaneously from this cardThe VGA is not a problem as you can get a display port to double VGA adapter if you like. However the downside is that the memory is divided between the displays so the more you have the less memory each one will have. If you are using this for high end graphic stills this would be fine, video will be compromised greatly.

It supports up to three monitors simultaneously via DVI, HDMI, and DP. It should be plenty fast for any games you may play as long as you dial down the details to Medium and run the resolution around 720P.

Hi, This card will support two monitors simultaneously, as stated in the manual. Given that, I don't really see why you would want to drive one monitor from the card and one from the motherboard - using system RAM rather than dedicated graphics RAM. However, if the latter is what you wanted to do, I can't think why that would not work. But, it's a great card at a bargain price so why not drive two monitors from it?

I am not sure about this feature. The card can support 4 monitors and run " independent " windows. As far as " stretched display mode ". I am not sure. I would recommend to to ask this question to tech support team at manufacturer's web site. They can really give you a answer to this question.

i have never tried that, but the instruction state that you can have up to 6 monitors.

I doubt it. I used to add a 2nd & 3rd monitor. You might contact Diamond to confirm.

The card has three possible outputs to monitors, but I have never seen software that will drive three monitors. I use UltraMon and it is limited to a dual monitor setup. My guess is that you'll be limited by your choice of software/drivers.

It can drive 4 monitors for standard use, it cannot drive 4 in eyefinity for gaming.
733922
Yes it can, up to 4 monitors at same time. And it´is possible to use the AMD eyefinite tecnology.

I wish I knew. I couldn't afford more than one. I do know that I was NOT able to put a 2nd card in to move the number of monitors to 8 total. My mother board would allow me to put more than 1 card in if the second card was not this vision tek card. My point being it wasn't a limitation of the motherboard.

Yes for two but no for three. Windows 8.1. I ordered this card based on the answer below that indicated support for three monitors. The NVIDIA control panel detects my third monitor but then won't drive it with a warning "this GPU supports up to 2 displays." Crapola! Don't waste your time thinking this will drive three monitors. Shame on Nvidia - it's specs are silent on the number of monitors supported: http://www.evga.com/products/Specs/GPU.aspx?pn=0fb8a542-3e4f-4edf-af6f-a2bdf7ae8727
