Hey guys,

I'm in a major dilemma right now whether to hook up 2 monitors and 1 TV onto 1 GPU. I've been told it's not okay to do so and that I would have to change all my game settings to a lower setting. I have a NVIDIA Geforce GTX 770 video card. I only use my TV to watch movies and will mainly be using both my monitors for browsing and gaming. Please help me.

Which 770 do you exactly have? The main issue your going to have is vram. But otherwise, yes you can hook them all up with no problems.

Now if your looking to extend on your two monitors and game on two, and watch tv on, on the tv.. Only problem your going to have is your going to be using a bigger resolution than what one monitor is... Bigger resolution = more things the card has to render = harder the card has to run = may need to turn down settings if the GPU isn't powerful enough.

BUT. A 770 should be pretty solid to game on two monitors without any problems. And your question if there's any problems hooking up three displays too one card, there are no issues.

You can do that yes, and you can game on one monitor only.
