hi i have an acer aspire xc-215 and the current graphics is amd e2 6110 apu with radeon r2 graphics. i want to hook up 3 monitors to my desktop for trading and have been told i need a graphics card but dont know what is compatible. Maplins said i need low profile but im not sure if that is right for my model. any help here would be great as i am lost with it all now. thanks
 
Solution
You can continue to use the graphics card you have, and add as many USB graphics adapters as you want to get extra screens.

i found this on ebay /Low Profile ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 1GB Graphics Card £32. would i need some kind of adaptors for the screens or just a hdmi splitter. thanks
 
All modern cards will have DACs for three video outputs, but most low profile cards will probably only have two ports because you can't physically fit 3 ports onto them. I don't know if you can split a single HDMI or DVI port in two, but I believe it's possible with display port. You'll need a second opinion on this.

Have you considered an external video adapter? They make them that attach via USB.
