Can I run three monitors off of this?

Why would it change by adding another monitor? My 2nd monitor didnt go black when gaming on the Main one.

Thats not what you said above!, you said you game on 2 monitors!, now you are saying the 2nd doesnt go black when you game on 1?, im confused!..in my experience unused monitor not used during gaming will switch off as they dont get a signal!

I should clarify i guess... I would game using two monitors but the game was only on the Main monitor (22" 1920x1080) and i would watch a movie on the other (19" 1600x900)

yeah

you can set a hotkey to switch to profiles, I have an eyefinity and regular profile that I switch between

So If I pick up a 6xxx series ATI card, can I switch between eyefinity for some games and just single screen for others?

I assume theres a setting in the catalyst control thing to do this?

Another option you could look into is SoftTH. It doesn't work for everything, but it's a bit more flexible than Eyefinity, and works on a per-game basis.

Believe that was only an issue with older nVidia cards in SLI. Modern cards have no issue with displaying your extended desktops while having a full screen game on one monitor.
