3 monitors on nvidia 530 OEM Card

[cubu]

Hello

Now I have a nvidia 530 OEM video card with 2 monitors:
1 at 1920x1080 60Hz (on HDMI)
1 at 1280x1024 60Hz (on VGA)


I do like to know if the card will support 3 monitors:
1 at 2560 x 1440 60Hz (on HDMI)
1 at 1920x1080 60Hz (on DVI)
1 at 1920x1080 60Hz (on VGA)

Or:

1 at 2560 x 1440 60Hz (on HDMI)
1 at 2560 x 1440 60Hz (on DVI)
1 at 1920x1080 60Hz (on VGA)


Thanks.

I can't find it for sure but I believe that graphics card is limited to two simultaneous outputs.

I'm fairly certain that the GT530 cannot support three monitors (at least in HD anyway). I would assume that Nvidia's "Surround" technology (fancy wording for having three or more monitors) covers what you are trying to achieve which according to them, can only be done on a GTX card.

The card has 3 outputs (VGA/DVI/HDMI)... so I think it can support 3 monitors... now the problem if it can support higher resolutions.

The max resolution in specification is 2560x1600 - how this is calculated?

Note: I do not want this for games.
Note2: I do not want surround (all monitors to act like one). I want 3 monitors distinct...

It has 3 outputs, but I think before the 700 series cards only two of them could be active a the same time.

Yes. I looked over the internet and did not found anyone with 3 monitors on this card... maybe if I upgrade the drivers they deactivate the 3rd output

Another quick question:
Nvidia says: Maximum Digital Resolution - 2560x1600
This is per monitor (meaning 2 with this resolution)?

Thanks.

5xx cards can only run two monitors at a time, the 6xx and later cards can run four at a time.

Another quick question:
Nvidia says: Maximum Digital Resolution - 2560x1600
This is per monitor (meaning 2 monitors with this resolution or this resolution combined from 2 monitors)?
