I want to run 4 monitors simultaneously off of one graphics card. I've been open to buying any card that will fit that purpose. I hear almost anything can run 3 displays, but getting the fourth display can be hard. I'm going for 3 monitors between 19" and 25" and one 1080 TV. I will be using the card for gaming, but will probably only use one monitor for that purpose.

I looked into a 7850 a while back, but then I heard it will only run 3 displays. I'm also reading a lot about active and passive displays for a card or monitor which makes no sense to me. A link describing what I should be looking for could help.

It would be much easier if someone could tell me which card I should buy within a $150-300 price range that will actually run four monitors and can be used for gaming.

Sorry for giving you a link, but check this video. I didnt even know 4 monitors was possible, and this guy has 6! So yeah. cant give that much info, but your question intrigued me, and I searched for it, and found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMbHZ8Mn__g -> name of the GPU - ATI's Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition Graphics

Hope I helped in any way =) And sorry if it's not exactly what you were looking for =s
