Okay i have a 980ti at the moment and a 144hz 27inch 1440p monitor running on it. I have two other 22inch monitors that I am also running with it. Of course the performance of the 980ti on a three way is less than on a single monitor and looking for a cheap crappy graphics card i can use to support the other 2 22inch monitors for general use.

Ill be using the secondary monitors for browsing the internet and or watching youtube.

What graphics card can i get that supports 2xDVI and is enough to support the 2 monitors.

Thats all thanks

The additional monitors showing desktop/static web pages has virtually no impact on gaming performance whatsoever. The VRAM usage is negligible too in almost every situation.

I've been running 3 and 4 screen setups for years, usually gaming on a single screen. It doesn't impact things much at all. Maybe if you've got crazy add-infested websites sitting open on your side monitors you might get a measurable impact, but you'd find the hit on your CPU would probably be larger still and that won't be resolved with a separate graphics card.

Don't worry about it, you've got a great setup, no need for another card to potentially choke your 980ti of fresh air.

Same here. I've got three 1080 monitors attached to my R9 280. Game just fine on a single screen. I have two other monitors hooked up over the mDP ports, and my TV as a fourth one hooked up over HDMI. No need to buy another card, just don't setup Eyefinity/surround.
