will it work with a asus m5a 78l-m lx series motherboard. also all 3 monitors area active? i purchased one before that supported 3 monitors but only 2

If your board has pci express slot x16 port it should work. Yes all 3 monitors will work at the same time you can expand the desktop across all 3 and have 3 different things open. Your monitors will need to all support a DVI connection.

I have two of these running with 6 independent monitors and they work great. I can't say if they will work with the mentioned motherboard though.

correction..... I read the question too fast. I have no problems with the 3rd monitor. 2 works fine - 1 external and the laptop as the 2nd. sorry for the confusion

Mine spans over three slots (positions 1 and 4). Or, two empties counting the fact the top card's heatsink takes up a slot. It still seems to have plenty of slack to stretch one more, which I think is as far apart as any motherboard and SLI setup you'd want to run would be.

Typically that is a question of your video card and not of your motherboard. Most video cards can support up to 3 monitors now though.

According to my experience with the Asus M5A97, it'll work more than perfectly. As a matter of fact, you can get two to try crossfire! The only thing you should worry about is the power supply of your computer because you want enough to support the graphics card and everything else.

3 gaming monitors or 4 non-game monitors. I have a 4 monitor setup running on a 1 GB card and it is working fine. The only problem is to watch the system heat as anything above 45 C is too hot for sustained 1920 x 1080 on each monitor. If you are gaming I suggest Flawless Wide-screen to fix the scaling problems.

Yes. That 3 monitor limit is based on the number of connectors.Some other venders' cards using this chipset support 4 monitors.FWIW, this is about the cheapest current card that supports two dual-DVI monitors.

I am running a single video card system. But the space between the video cards must be ample to support 2 dual cards. Doesn't look like enough room to me but the motherboard does support it !!!!!!

I personally regret not going with the M5A99 for 2 reasons. I already had 2 Nvidia cards I planned to SLI and found out this board only supports cross fire. One of the sata ports is blocked by my video card so I am limited in adding drives since I am already using 4 ports.

Depends on video card output, some require active adapters on some ports. This is not an active adapter.

I have seen references to ATI Eyefinity software that is supposed to support three monitors from this card, but I have not installed that software, nor have I tried three monitors on the card I have ( two works well, and that's what I need personally ). Also, if you're forced to use a low profile card, you will only be able to see the hdmi and dvi ports with the lo profile adapter on the card.

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

If you closely examine the motherboard photos, you will note it has 2 system fan headers. Being that it is mATX in size, you will be limited. If you want to have multiple fans running on your system, I would suggest you go with an ATX sized board, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Motherboard-Triple-Monitor-support-Windows/dp/B009L1EOKQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1379012858&sr=1-1&keywords=gigabyte+ga-f2a85x-up4+fm2+amd+a85x It has at least 4 system fan headers on it.

Will this card support 3 monitors? Have you run a game using all three monitors?

I actually have 3 of these cards plugged into my Motherboard - I'm running 6 monitors without issue.

http://support.amd.com/en-us/recommended/eyefinity-adaptersWhat you are looking for is an Active terminator. Yes, this works for a third output.

No, the unit has only one monitor connection. If you install PCIe cards for the additional monitors, then this will work. But it's a bruiser PC, especially with extra RAM.
