I'm trying to find a cheap video card for my business that is capable of running 3 monitors easily. I am currently looking at these options but am unsure if they will work:

Problem is that most of them are 1GB cards. It's gonna be quite a problem running 3 monitors at the same time on a 1GB card. Monitors use vRam which is the gigabytes in GPUs. If you're just gonna use 1 for say gaming, and the other 2 for monitoring/recording/browsing etc, then I guess it's gonna be okay.'s

But if you're gonna use 1 or 2 with those graphic cards, you're gonna run into quite alot of problems, most of them being crashes, low fps during games, stuttering, and maybe black screen due to cableing.

I ran 3 monitors on my hd5850 and gamed on 1 of monitors in a window, and it was perfectly fine, even playing BF4 on high without AA.

Any nvidia graphics card in the x50 range will do fine, most of the time without splitters and extra junk. example would be the gtx 550, gtx 650, gtx 750 and the gtx 950. The TI of any of these versions would be great if affordable. nvidia control panel WILL not allow more than 2 displays if the nvidia graphics card isnt at least the 50 series. I HAVE TRIED. you will need a usb to dvi or hdmi and that monitor will be most likely capped at like 26hz or 30 hz refresh rate usually at like 720p.
