Hi, I am looking to use three monitors on my WS.

Is it possible?

Ok I have quadro 4000 currently in the machine. Can I put another gpu card in at the same time and run the third monitor with a asus geforce gt 610 in the other pci express slot to display three monitors with two as extended?

It would help my work flow immensely.






 
Yes, three LCDs is awesome to work on. Depending on the cpu/mb you have, you may be able to run onboard video for that next LCD. Getting a GeForce and a Quadro to work together may be a challenge as the drivers may conflict. You could certainly try it out as it may work just fine. Depending on the work you do though, I suggest a Quadro 600 as your main display card and the 4000 running the third monitor and as a render card. This set up would let you continue working as the second card renders in the background.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I have a i7 x990 @ 3.47GHz, 24 gig ram and ASUS P6x58d-E MB.

I dont have a QUADRO 600, its the asus geforce gt 610. Currently in its box. A generally cheap card. My Quadro 4000 is currently in the machine. Could I put both in and have the quadro running when i open certain programs to work on?
