So, I'm moving in to a larger room and have a plan. I'm getting a new monitor but also want to keep using my old monitor and the 42" tv in the new room. I currently havea Radeon HD7770 2GB which has 1HDMI and 1 DVI and 1 D-Sub. My plan is to run the old monitor and the new monitor (New monitor HDMI and old D-Sub) and then get a new cheap GPU to run the 42" tv. Is this possible? I have a Gigabye 970A-UD3 the new gpu would go on the x4 PCI.

The 2 monitors on my main GPU would be for gaming and the new graphics card, something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... , would be connected to the tv only for things like streaming movies off Netflix and the such. So don't need it to be expensive or anything like that.

Or would I be better off getting some type of HDMI splitter? I don't want to experience drop off in gameplay because of this.

Any help would be great. Thanks

So I have 1Display Port, 1 HDMI and 1 D-Sub.

So Can I go TV on the Display Port, HDMI on the new monitor and Dsub on the old monitor?

Not necessarily game on 2 monitors. Just 2 monitors in general. Like maybe school stuff opened on one and gaming on the other. Something like that. If you see what I mean? My current monitor is a Samsung 28" HD TV

Like I said, I have a Radeon 7850. So I do technically have 3 different video inputs
