Work recently bought an Nvidia GT630 with 2 displayport & 1 DVI. I realized after it was bought it wouldn't support 3 monitors, however I gave it a shot anyhow. Apparently twinview sees all 3 monitors & lets me enable them.

Anyone know if other GT630s work with 3 monitors?

Here is info from linux:

rob@desktop:~$ lspci -s 05:00.0 -n

All Keplers support up to four monitors. I would just stay away from the cards that have D-Sub ports.

I was under the impression that GT630's were rebranded GT440's...? My nvidia info says this has 192 cuda cores & 128-bit bus as well.

According to Nvidia, my card doesn't fit the kepler GT630, since that has 384 cuda cores. Actually none of the GT630s there has 192 cuda cores. Is that weird or what?

Edit: Hmm, maybe I have the OEM one...? However my card has 2 displayport & 1 DVI and I don't see a mention of displayport anywhere in the 630 or OEM specs...
Edit 2: HP says it's a kepler and a "GTX 630"

I am running 2 DVI + 1 HDMI->DVI with a 640. I don't know how related a 640 is to a 630. (Linux programming, if you're wondering.)

I think 640+ is SUPPOSED to support 3+. From all my googling, 630 & less don't support more than 2 (except maybe for this weird card...?)
