Hello, I have an R9 270x 2gb graphics card. I already have 2 DVI displays connected to it and only game on one.

I'm planning on buying another monitor exactly the same as the other two (1600x900) and has it as another casual display monitor. I will still only game on one.

How much will performance in gaming will be lost and will all 3 monitors still be able to run at 60fps when I'm not gaming? Just doing casual stuff or watching 60fps videos.

Thanks!

Better Hdmi to dvi/vga,
No, might be just 10 fps lost but if your cpu or other components aren't bottlenecking,

You're on the right track.

Well, Not much will be affected, due to the card being a powerful one.

So why not? Yeah sure..

Update:
I have done some research right now, and it says it can go up to 4 on another thread. Still, thats why you have 2 dvi, hdmi and another hdmi. It can support up to 4 monitors, so yeah go with it.

Thanks for your feedback mate. What is easier? HDMI to DVI/VGA or Display port to DVI/VGA?

Also, how many frames will I loose? If it's 1 or 2 I'm fine but it's not going to be like 10-20 is it?
