You sure can. Although you might need an active displayport adapter, I am not sure.

Do you plan to game on all three at once? If so, there will definitely be a big performance hit. Otherwise it should have very little effect.

smeezekitty to answer your question yes i did plan on having all 3 running a game at the the same time. But if that is not gonna work out i guess i will have to rethink my strategy unfortunately i lack the funds for another vid card at this point in time.

if you can afford 3 monitors i think you can afford a better quality 1440p or 1600p monitor.

If you have options please feel free to link them but from what i've seen the majority of 1440p or 1600p monitors i have seen are either low priced but south korean made which i do not feel comfortable buying incase something is defective i cant imagine returning it is easy or name brand such as Dell, LG, etc and twice as much
