Hey guys,
This should be a straightforward issue but unfortunately I'm reading a lot of confusing and conflicting information around the net and I figure this is always the best place to ask. I need to run 3 monitors, all off VGA or DVI, from a low profile, single slot card where the heatsink does not extend past the edge of the card.
This is for a workstation rather than gaming, and if it were 2 monitors it would be completely straight forward. However once you add the third monitor into the mix no one seems to be able to give a straight answer on what works, what doesn't and why.
I see the cards with the triple DVI adapters going to the back of the card but they're usually 120$ or above for what should be a simple 40-60$ low powered card. I've used HDMI to DVI cables before so theoretically if I can find one that has triple monitor capability and it has the standard 1 VGA / 1 DVI / 1 HDMI that should still work out. Why its so hard to find a card like this that isn't insanely priced I'll never know.
So guys, point me in the right direction please?
