Default Re: Quick & Easy video card qn for you pros

So the video card you linked to is something I can just plug in the back to have 3 separate monitors running?

Yes, I hope so. To be clear, it will run 1 additional (third)monitor, you will still be using the original vid card for the other two.

The card I linked is a good few generations older than the cards you listed in the OP, and uses the PCI expansion slot - more often used for modem, soundcards and other devices requiring little bandwidth. It's performance will be shocking compared to a modern card, but since it will only be used for pokers etc. this is not a problem.

It will be incapable of running a 30" 2560x1600 display - but with any luck your original card will be OK for this should you upgrade to a bug screen in the future. If not, you'll have to replace the original card.
