Hi,
I am trying to find the best 3 monitor setup, wondering if someone can help me? I am looking at buying either a 1 x 5870 or 2 x 5850 to power 3 monitors usig DVI-I connections.
My options are:
Option 1:
buy a 5870 and run all the monitors off the card, however I am unsure how the 3rd monitor attaches to the card. I understand it uses the HDMI port but I have not seen if it works with DVI.
Option 2:
buy 2 x 5850, run one monitor off one card an two monitor off the second card.
Option 3 (not sure if this works)
buy 2 x 5850 and setup in crossfire configuration. Not sure if his will drive 3 monitors.
Any suggestions would greatly appericiated.
