Multiple monitors question

[nitrobass24]

I have my home workstation and I have Three(3) monitors.

Right now I have a 8600gt and a PCI 6200 and it works but not as well as I would like....there seems to be a driver issue and Aero and HD video does not work well on the monitor that is connected to the 6200.

My question is if I got a Video card that had a 2 dvi outputs and a hdmi output like a 9800gx2 would it be able to drive all my monitors?

Prob not.

The HDMI usualy duplicates one of the other jacks.

Matrox has some single cards that can do 3+ monitors. Not the best for 3d... they are very good for 2d.

from my past experiences no this wont work. you have to run sli as far as i know then you can do up to 4 monitors with a 2 card sli setup. Also i agree with the guy above the hdmi replicates one of the other ports. so in a sense you could hook up all your monitors but 2 of them would have exact same thing on them. worse case try to hook them up and extend windows desktop onto them see what happens.
