I'm looking to add a GTX780 to my computer which has a GTX295 running two 24" monitors. I am hoping to add a 30" monitor to be powered by the 780. How do I ensure my system will run games using the 780. I'm only interested in gaming on the 30" and not extending the displays across the other monitors whilst gaming.

I have an i7-920 processor on an ASUS P6T Deluxe v2 m/b.
Windows 7 64 bit

Will the GTX 780 be able to run the two 24" monitors using e.g. DVI and the 30" using HDMI/Display port. I'm looking to have three independent screens to multitask office apps when not gaming.

Cheers for reply.

this is just wrong, i run 2 different cards on single motherboards all the time. I currently have a radeon 290 and a 6450 which give me 3 screens and leaves the 290 to drive the centre screen for gaming. I also do this with my nvidia cards...run a 780ti and 750 on the sam board and this gives me 4 screens. Just stick to same manufacturer and it all works in windows very easily.
