Hey guys,

I currently have HD3000 with my mobo and an ATI 4650. I can't get them to play nice together to run my 3 monitors so I'm thinking about getting a 2nd card and use that and the 4650 to run the 3.

Anyone have a recommendation on an inexpensive card to run the 3rd monitor?

Thanks!

Ted
 
I'd just replace the 4k with a 6850 or 6870, I have a triple monitor set up on those and works like a charm, but the 3rd display has to be display port.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I'd love to do that, but for $150+ I can't justify it. Now a $30 to $50 secondary card isn't so bad.
 
I bought a spare on sale at best buy for like 75 bucks. just gotta keep an eye out.
