I know this card will support 2 monitors, but I want to add a third. I see in some of the threads that the motherboard might support a third monitor, but how can I find out? and if it does, how do I set it up for a 3-screen Flight Simulator?

Anyone?

the 500 series cards do not support 3 monitors from one card. your options are a usb to dvi adapter (no 3 screen gaming this way), or another 530 (no 3 screen gaming, these cards cant be used in SLI), or buy a completely different card from the 600 series or above, as they support up to 4 monitors on one card. its worth noting that you will need a higher end model to get a playable frame rate on 3 screens

Wow... thanks for the lightning fast response...OK... I'm first interested in Flight Simulator(s) and second in games. I might load up Bioshock Infinite to play with 3.... but my first love is flying. Back to the motherboard as a 3rd monitor for this purpose...... How do I determine if I can do this? Is there a clue in "device Manager"?

Thanks so much for the answers... I'll likely end up having to buy a graphics card. Poo-Doo. Didn't want to have to go that route, but...
anyway, thanks again. Doc.
