Hello! :D

I'm almost done with my power mac G5-mod - It's going to be hooked up to a 27" and a 20" Cinema Display. As far as I understand, the HD4000 will be able to drive these two monitors. I'm considering adding a third monitor, though, and therefore I'm wondering what compatible graphics card will be the cheapest (to buy and, more importantly, to run (watts)) to get support for three monitors? Is it "as simple" as adding a GeForce 210?

Thanks in advance guys :)

I have a triple monitor setup working whit a 6870 ( reference design , because this have 2 mini DP outputs)

1 plugged to dvi
1 plugged to Vga ( here i have a mini display port adapter to vga monitor imput ... is a active adapter )
1 plugged to mini display port ( also here i have a mini display port adapter , passive is fine )

Whit this config runs perfect under Lion and Win 7 ( play in this mode is awesome !! ;) )
