Hey everyone, I did a quick look around the forum but it seems that all triple monitor setup questions regard gaming. I won't be doing any gaming (unless you count Minecraft in windowed mode).

So, would the GeForce GTX 650 2GB 128-bit GDDR5 work for that? I found it $130 on Newegg which seems like a decent price. If anyone knows of another card or where I can get this card for less, if it will work for my intended setup, I'm open to hearing about it.

Side note: It is not an absolute requirement but it is a high priority to have an Nvidia card because the rig will be running Linux and ATI has poor support for Linux.

If the resolution of the monitors is 1080p-1200p you should be just fine running it with the GTX 650.

There's this one for 119.99 with free shipping, I'm a big fan of MSI lately.

Note that this card has VGA, DVI and HDMI outputs.

This one is a few bucks more but provides all digital outputs, 2 DVI + HDMI and Display Port.

As long as they can run 1920x1080, I will be perfectly happy.

Thanks for the tip, I honestly don't have a preference so I wouldn't mind getting this one over the one I linked previously.
