6870 Video Card Replacement

[sicilianbambino]

Hello all, I had an XFX 6870 Video that was sent in for repair. In return I was sent an XFX R7850 Core Edition video card as a replacement. My concern is that I need 3 monitor support and from what I was reading this card R7850 is really is not supported. Is there something similar or a better video card that someone can recommend to use in place of ? Any of the GTX??

I have separate boot ups for Hack & Windows 7 so I really need the compatibility not being an issue as this machine are heavily used.

Thank you all.

I am really pleased with my 670 GTX. But I can only confirm two working monitors, because I don't have three.

What 3 monitor setup is it, exactly?

From what I understood, the 7850 has 2 dvi output sockets, 1 HDMI, and 2 display ports that can accomodate up to 6 monitors by daisy chaining them. Or you can purchase DP to DVI 1 into 2 splitter cables and have 4 monitors total hooked up via DP >>> DVI. Good Luck!

What I was using previously was 1 DVI & 2 MINI DP and it was working just fine until the card died. When searching here it was basically said that this card was not compatible at all. Before I decide to sell this I wanted to be sure and look for something comparable to use instead.

Thank you
