Need a Graphics Card that can 3 1080p for casual editing

Sugar Kaine Mostly · Nov 14, 2016

Im in the market for a top end used card. I am transitioning from a Quadro 2000 card to a GTX card. In the last 2 years I have seen efficient results from colleagues using GTX cards for realtime rendering. Mainly Adobe Premiere and After Effects. I currently own 3 1080p monitors, and every monitor has sectors of Premiere running. So im using two Geforce 210 for two 1080p, and one Quadro 2000 for my Dell Ultrasharp.

My two monitors only VGA inputs, by Ultradsharp has versatile ports. Which second hand card will give me 2 1080p on VGA and one HDMI for my Ultrasharp?

Im very patient with editing so I don't need a gaming card like a 1080. My budget is 200 dollars atm. Until April I will be able to get a new hot card. Thanks.

It depends from which manufacturer you're purchasing it from.

As you want to transfer to a GTX card I can give you a list of recommendations, with a $200 Budget. I would probably recommend a GTX 1060 3GB Card, and depending what it is. If you're not willing to spend that much nearer the time, a GTX 1050Ti will also do nicely, which is about $50 cheaper.

Here is a list of some cards up to $200. I will recommend all of them, but the final EVGA GTX 1060 seems like the best out of them, but that is my personal preference.

Hi FeaRDom,

Thank you sir for the info. I was looking into the new Pascal cards as you mentioned. The 1050ti or 1060, can I physically connect two 1080p VGA monitors (as I currently own) and one 1080p HDMI for my Dell Ultrasharp. I don't know the logic on splitting cables or adapters. This is why I always purchased separate GT cards for each VGA monitor at about 30 bucks...

As far as I can see, the GTX 1050 or 1060 cards have one Display Port, HDMI, and a DVI-D? correct? How do I physically connect all three monitors onto 1 card? I approach this skeptically because I like to assume different ports either in digital or analog protocol will cause problems. Anywhere from 700 - 2000 Cuda cores is recommended for my editign workflow. Thank you sir

It highly depends on the card, some have different ports than others, I believe these newer cards are wiping out the VGA connection, which is an issue in your case, but you can use adapters without much or any loss I believe. I totally forgot to look for that, I will look again and come back with another recommendation.

I find that getting the ports correct is definitely quite a handful, and finding one VGA port on any Pascal cards is most likely not possible.

Here is another recommendation, where you can get an adapter for it to put it into VGA, or if your monitors have a DVI-D Connection then you can simply use that.

If they do not, you can simply get a DVI-D to VGA adapter, and from my personal experience, there's no change in quality or response times.

You can find these adapters on basically any website, such as Newegg, Ebay and Amazon, go for a decent-priced one as they will most likely be more reliable, just search DVI-D to VGA Adatper, and most should work.]

And connecting them up, all you have to do is simply plug and play!

In most cases it'll detect all the monitors, but it may need some configuring to be able to do so.
