I would like to run three vga monitors, any favorite video card configurations for this model would be gratefully received.

The power supply could be upgraded to after market atx psu with this adapter. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0162JP5RKhttp://www.amazon.com/dp/B0162JQ13Mor fromhttp://www.ebay.com/usr/donjonmin

I have just put in a nvidia GT720 which pulls just 19w for $25. I needed a true dual link DVI port and runs better than the IGP. It has 3 ports and runs 1440p on vga. The ts140 also has 1 vga port. For the 3rd vga you may need a hdmi adapter or use a usb display link device (I have 2 connected). Usb is convenient if you are switching monitors between 2 computers (e.g., laptop/desktop) - just plug in or pull out when needed for power savings and switching between digital/analogue. They will also be more power efficient for basic 2d stuff - using 2-4w. The usb devices are my favorite: portable flexible and great drivers.

I have been running three monitors for 6 months now with the built in ports, flawlessly, 2 display ports and one VGA port.

It would need to a low power video card. The power supply is only 280W. At least 120W will be used by the CPU, Mobo and HD, and fans. I would be hesitant to put anything requiring more than 100W. This would be a good choice: ASUS GTX750TI-OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 750. Bear in mind that cards with 3 DVI/VGA ports are rare.

Your best bet would be an nVidia 750 Ti for about 150 for a halfway decent card that can run three monitors on its own. It's low powered enough to run off the PCIe power alone without a 6 pin PCIe power connector, and powerful enough to run most games at pretty good settings.

I can tell you this, and it might not directly answer your question:the powersupply is not designed to be very powerful, it was made to save on power costs. It is also non-standard, so you need to take that into account.ALSO,It has 2 displayports, out of the box. although I haven't tried hooking up 2 at the same time... so you may just need one additional card

I bought a ZOTAC Synergy Edition ZT-61106-10M GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 from newegg that works flawlessly just had to get the power adapter for ebay for 4 bucks Mouse over image to zoomHave one to sell? Sell it yourself8inch SATA 15pin to 6pin PCI Express Card Power Cable

Yes, I have 4 monitors running off this card, all on HDMI. The card outputs four DVI's and I use a DVI-HDMI adapter on each. Great card, awesome setup. Note that I use it for business, not gaming, so I can't really make any claims to performance.

I am using this video card on a Mac Pro tower as a card for three 23" monitors. Don' have any experience with other systems.

yes but no. It will only run three as if you had one monitor can't remember the name for that. My brain hurts. You can set up two but it doesn't work quit right. You can duplicate screens or extend the desktop. If you have a game open on one monitor and click on the other screen to look something up it will minimize your game. So only 3 for complete use. I was disappointed but the card runs WOT, War thunder, Defiance, Titanfall and Star Citizen all at max with zero hiccups

I currently run 5 monitors (3 evga, 1 thunderbolt, 1 macbook pro built in) off of a Radeon HD 6750M. It works fine for non-gaming, the only noticeable effect is that the screen savers across all the monitors get just a bit choppy.

first of all john, nice name. onto the question though, i personally have been unsuccessful at using a triple screen display with a single videocard, BUT thats not to say that its impossible, i have tried an active adapter that goes from dvi (dual link) to vga, however it might work with the displayport, but i do not have the money anymore to try it

You can only use 1 at a time. I am not sure how the adaptor will pick which port has priority but I know the full size display port has priority over the DVI port. The frame rate is perfect. This is not a USB port so the mini display port is like having an extra DVI, Display or HDMI port on the computer. Your Video Card will need to support the number of Monitors you plan to use. I have a Nvidia K1000M and it supports up to 3 monitors. I am using the 2 built in ports on my computer plus this for a total of 3 monitors.

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.

Yep, Eyefinity is highly configurable. I prefer three monitors (I use 3x1680x1050), but I believe this card supports more. See http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/MultimonitorFAQ.aspx

You are going to need multiple cards to do that, there isn't a single card on the market that can run 3 monitors at 4k

This unit comes with the NVIDIA GForce. There are 3 connections on the video card; VGA, DVI and HDMI. I know it handles two monitors. I believe with most video cards in this price range you can use only two of the three connections simultaneously.

The GT 610 only supports a maximum of two monitors (either 2 dvi or one dvi/hdmi). You will need a GT 640 or above to use 3 monitors.

Same experience here -- I couldn't get it to support 3 monitors concurrently.We ended up getting DisplayLink USB to VGA adapters for the third monitor, since we're just doing office work (documents, spreadsheet, emails). It's worked well and seemed to be the lowest cost option.If you need 3 monitors for gaming, I assume you would need 2 graphics cards (and probably a stronger power supply), although I haven't done it so can't confirm.

NO, it by itself will support two monitors. you would need a second video card to support a 3rd and potentially 4 monitor.I needed to get this video card, to go along with another video card that i had to support 3 monitors.But this card (GeForce GT 610 has been a great video card for me...no problems with it.

Good Day Ricardo, we run with 2 active display port only, so far haven't try 6 into with 1 card

Ignore my last answer, missed the "3-4 monitors" part.Definitely go with the 780 or higher for 3-4 monitors, in fact if you really plan on using four the Titan would be a better choice.

I am running three monitors with this card. that is the max. cross fire yes, with certin other models only
