    Need advice on new video card to properly simultaneously run these 3 displays I have

    Just out of curiousity, how big of a step up from my current video card is an EVGA GeForce GTX 660 card? For $240... It's 3GB, 192-bit, GDDR5, PCI Express 3.0 x16, and has 2 DVI ports, 1 HDMI and 1 DisplayPort. Would I notice any difference doing video editing compared to what I have? Or...

    Need advice on new video card to properly simultaneously run these 3 displays I have

    Interesting. That sure would save some money. For some reason I had thought the HDMI on my specific card could only run alone and not along side the DVI output in a dual monitor scenario. I'll double check that. Should I just check amazon for a HDMI to DVI cable and get something generic...

    Need advice on new video card to properly simultaneously run these 3 displays I have

    I believe I tried using the integrated from my Ivybridge and the discrete card at the same time and it didn't work. I could perhaps investigate that further. Thanks for thinking of that.

    Need advice on new video card to properly simultaneously run these 3 displays I have

    Thanks for your insight! Based on that, I just decided I will omit the third older screen altogether. However, it seems I still couldn't properly run my 2 dells with my current video card unless I wanted to use VGA on one (which I'd rather not). (the dells don't have HDMI, but DisplayPort)...

    Need advice on new video card to properly simultaneously run these 3 displays I have

    One thing I should quickly add as I shouldn't expect it to be a given, is that I have no interest in "spanning" one screen across the 3 displays. I simply want to extend my desktop to 2 other screens with one of the three displays being my primary window. Thanks!

    Need advice on new video card to properly simultaneously run these 3 displays I have

    Hi all! I was hoping I could get some assistance regarding my setup. It is complete system however one of my old displays just died and I just purchased 2 new ones. I would like to add my old (and still functional) display as a 3rd screen in addition to two new displays I just purchased...

    Thanks Danny. Really, thank you so much for everything. Clearing CMOS fixed it. I can't get over the speed of this system. It's unbelievable. I'm going from working on a single core athlon 3700 chip and 4gb of ram to this system. I just can't believe the speed!! And man, solid state is the...

    Well, I got a combo deal and the processor just came with a fan with paste on the bottom of it. The processor only seated in one way and dropped in without problem. And the cpu fan went on and connected to the motherboard exactly as shown in the diagram. It's all seated properly and tight.

    Heya Danny, So I received the powersupply, motherboard/cpu combo and the video card that you recommended. After getting everything hooked up ran into a serious problem. The system powers up and after 5 or 10 seconds just keeps restarting itself. No beep codes or anything. Nothing displays on...

    Well it looks like I was wrong. I have the Antec Sonata II. Didn't realize there was a version before that. I bought that used. Is that case suitable? And I can add enough to the budget to accomodate a proper power supply if someone would be kind enough to recommend one along with a...

    I'm sorry, here's the answers to the remaining questions. I don't need to overclock. I'm fine with running things stock. But if it could overclock without me having to add additional cooling, I would do it. I plan on buying and building as soon as I pick a motherboard, processor and video...

    Hello all, First post here. I've got some existing hardware but am lacking a motherboard, processor and videocard. I really could use some advice as to what would both work with the hardware I currently have and give me the best bang for the buck within my budget. I do NOT ever game, however...
