Triple Display setup

[eddiesgranniesjam]

Hi,

I want to run a third monitor but the graphics card I have (HD 5450) apparently only supports three monitors when it has a display port - mine has a HMDI port, along with VGA and DVI.

I don't want to shell out on an expensive card and throw away my current card - I don't game - I just want the real estate.

I also only have one PCI-e x16 slot. However I have a PCI slot spare. Would it be possible to run this card in conjunction with my other card? Again - I don't need to do crossfire - just to run three monitors.

The benefit of this solution were it to work is that it keeps costs really low - which is really important.
