sup all.
ok so this is the thing, i want 3 monitors, i currently have 2.
i have this motherboard : Asus crosshair formula iv
but i have this main video card : EVGA GTX 470
problem is that i had this video card on my first gaming rig, i bought this mobo and completely didnt see that it doesnt support
um... whatever its called when you join 2 nvidia cards for joint power (crossfire or the other one ) lol, only supports the ATI cards linkage function (forget the name!)
so anyways,
both my monitors are plugged into the GTX 470.
as it stands, i dont want to game on all monitors, i just want to be able to extend my desktop to all three monitors without any special ACTIVE display adapter or anything like that.
my question is, if i buy a CHEAP nvidia card so i can plug in the 3rd monitor,
can i then use three monitors right out the gate? and share resources between all of them, or do i still need something else altogether?
thanks in advance
