theoretically, it can. But practically? No. You'll have to lower your settings for that to work, it's not a very powerful graphics card, but handles 1080p just fine. With three monitors, it'll be pushed pretty hard. I'd recommend atleast sli 970's to play at decent settings with good framerates.

ohhh thats bad, looks like i shud just go with single monitor xd

well, if you grab another 960, it may be enough to play at medium~high settings with triple monitors.

or u could not use all 3 monitors to game use the other two for multitasking and the center one only to game then u would be fine unless u run a demanding program in another monitor while u are running a game

If you have a 4GB version, you'll be able to just about do it. I tried running three monitors off a single GTX760 4GB and I could maintain decent fps in FarCry3 at medium settings. I don't think you'll be so lucky with modern games though.

So technically, yes you can and you'll be able to game on all three. Will it give you an immersive experience that you expect from a triple-monitor set up - not really.

A good middle-ground would be to get a 1080p ultrawide monitor (21:9 aspect). I went from three screens to one of those and the area that you lose isn't wholly noticeable, but at the same time it's not much harder to run than a standard 1080p monitor.

If you are getting gtx 960 4 GB version, for that prize better get the r9 380 4gb. It is more powerful than the 960 and it will do better. Ofcorse if you are not a nvidia fanboy and you have enought power supply.

i love nvidia card cuz low tdp and nice temperature, if r9 380 4gb can run tri monitor maybe i just go with it.

go with the r9 380 will get u to run at better fps

no grab a r9 280x, it's cheaper because it's older, but slightly more powerful.
