Video card with 3 displayport ports?

[Lazarus52980]

Are there any single cards that have 3+ displayport outputs and support 3 monitors at once? I am looking to replace the card I use for business applications and was hoping to make everything nice and simple...

Apparently my "google-fu" failed me, since I was not able to find one, so I thought I would ask the experts here.

If not, what do you guys recommend for a card?

I have 3 - U2312HM's coming on Monday...

Galaxy hall of fame edition 680 comes to mind.

That might be a little more horsepower than I want for a business computer...lol

If that is my only option, I might need to go mini displayport to displayport. I think there are cards with at least 3 mini displayport outputs, right?

Why not use 1 DVI and 2 display port ? Vastly opens your options, you aren't needing the higher resolution or refresh rate that display port or dual link DVI provide. Mad has many options in that configuration.

You make a good point. I think I will try to go with that.

What is "Mad"? I have not heard of that...

AMD* autocorrect on Ipad. This card is a good option. Low power requirements and consumption, would also be viable for light 1080p gaming. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161414

Or, since those monitors are only 1200p, you could get one of those mythical* MST hubs?

Mythical because I cannot for the life of me confirm that they're actually for sale anywhere, lol

Edit: 1200p, not 1080p sorry

I can't get to Newegg at work, but I can get to Amazon. Would you mind sharing the model that you are recommending here?

If you're running 3x U2312hm's, just about any modern gaming card will have the outputs you need. Try an HD7770 - 2x miniDP and 1x DVI.

Search "Eyefinity 6"

There were various older video cards that had 6 displayport outputs.

If you don't need the extreme gaming power of current series cards, maybe you can find a good deal on a used 5870 eyefinity 6 model, several are currently bidding on ebay.

But, if you want a more recent version, you can get 6950/6970 eyefinity 6 cards, or 7870 and higher eyefinity 6 cards.

But perhaps conduct a search on ebay for "eyefinity 6" and check the option for "already completed" to get an idea of prices.

And all I need to do is purchase 2 of these to go with the DVI cable that I already have and I will be ready to go, right?

How about one of these?. Its quite pricey though...

Woot! I got them all yesterday and got them hooked up. I ended up having to remove the plastic shield on the graphics card, since it was blocking 2 of my SATA ports, but other than that, it went very smoothly.

As promised, here is a photo of my desk:
