Cheap GFX Card for 3 Monitors(NO GAMING)

garrzilla · Jul 14, 2014

So I want to upgrade to 3 1080p monitors(21"-24"). My current gfx card is crap and can't handle 3, so what would be the cheapest card that will support 3 1080p displays. This is purely a work computer, so no gaming. This is a stock PC, no customizations have been made yet.

Current PC/Motherboard

What is your ideal price point?

Abstractfear :

Not sure the range, but I'm going to be spending $300-400 on monitors alone + $100 for stand. So I'd guess $100 for a good card.

750ti would suite that need well. 125$

Isn't that for gaming? I just want it to work for surfing web etc. Will that card work with the motherboard I linked?

You do realize what a suite is?

4Gb card. 104$ DVI connections and one mHDMI.

you can always use converters to get the correct inputs

The AMD R7 250 cannot support multiple monitor? http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-r72502gd3oc Only $50 and there's 2GB GDDR3 Which is plenty for work/videos.

It will work great for your application. Just because its marketed at gamers does not mean its for gaming only.
And yes just put it in the pcie 16x slot.

OK, looks like I'm going with AMD R7. The only drawback is in the manual, it says my PC has 265W power supply. Is that enough to handle this card + 3 1080p monitors??

Gorgonzer · Jul 14, 2014

The AMD cards will always across the board use more power. The PSU in your pc is really crappy. Is your model the mid tower or one of the compact versions?

This is a 4g vram version of the r7 250. Plenty of video power. Also included a new PSU just to sure. 115$ for both.
